(Gumi; 人生P) Double O

This was just a fun song to listen to, so I decided to translate it. It was harder than it looked but not as hard as some of the ones of late.

Double O

Hey, let’s have a war that doesn’t stop.
I am, with you, boyfriend, your girlfriend.
Hey, we probably don’t know a thing that gives praise.
Usually, it’s a leadership scramble and
a grand mystery that carries on this love affair.

Our different unstopping bloodshed
(What makes you like that?) is it hateful?
We don’t break up as it is, but we can argue
It’s also fleeting that our ties are severed

The unstopping war is a frivolous flower
(The vow is temporary) Man’s dream
Quiet that love and yearning
I see your shadow and feelings spill out

That, if it’s different just for a moment
Our ties to this fleeting world break
extremely easily, and heaviness is unlike it
Ah, it’s a futile thing

Hey, sweetie
Were we seeing each other?
In the unknown, along differing threads
It backfires on us

The unstopping war is a bloodstained flower
(Green, just a touch) Man’s greed
I invited and escaped to a peaceful life
I see your shadow and stand behind it
Let’s have a war that doesn’t stop.
(I wish, and it doesn’t stop) One that’s warm
Cool blade and the changing night
Unaffected by the sky, mix together

To hate, to love, I seek them

Notes:

The "ties" mentioned in the lyrics are actually more poetic in Japanese as a bead string or thread of life.
