Hybrid Rainbow (The Pillows)



HYBRID RAINBOW - by The Pillows
This song was made into one of the soundtracks of the 6-Episode-Anime FLCL which touches upon the story of a boy, Naota in his search to find a place of acceptance to call his own among the people around him. The translation of the song was even more emotional that what i have expected but nevertheless, it is a great song =)

hotondo shizunderu mitai na mujintou
chikyuugi ni nottenai namae mo nai
kinou wa chikaku made kibou no fune ga kita kedo
bokura wo mukae ni kitan ja nai

A deserted island which seems to have mostly sunk
Not found on any globe, not even named
Yesterday the ship we hoped for came close but
It didn'ft even come to meet us.
taiyou ni mitorete sukoshi kogeta
PURIZUMU wo hasande te wo futta kedo

We got a little scorched staring longingly into the sun
Holding a prism up, I waved my hand but

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
ashita wo matteru

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Even we, who weren't chosen up till yesterday
Are waiting for tomorrow
hotondo shibonderu bokura no hikousen
jimen wo suresure ni ukanderu
Our mostly deflated zeppelin is
Skimming just barely over the ground
yobikata mo tomadou iro no sugata
toritachi ni yousha naku tsutsukareru darou
The look of the colors which defy description
Will probably be mercilessly pecked at by the birds
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
kitto mada
genkai nante konna mon ja nai
konnan ja nai
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
Surely not yet
The limit can't be like this at all
Not like this at all

Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
koko wa tochuu nanda tte shinjitai
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
kinou made erabarenakatta bokura demo
ashita wo motteru
Can you feel?
Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?
I wanna believe that here is only partway through
I can feel
I can feel that hybrid rainbow
Even we, who weren't chosen up till yesterday
Are holding onto tomorrow
