#tefu things

たとえばこの痛みが未来さえを奪っても Tatoeba kono itami ga mirai sae o ubatte mo Even if this pain takes our future away,

right from the start, it’s a very powerful opening. and it’s so intriguing that this line is Tezuka’s! even though he’s the one who took the decision to leave, he describes their being appart as something very painful to him.

たとえばこの誓いが描いた明日を壊しても tatoeba kono chikai ga kaita ashita o kowashite mo Even if this oath breaks tomorrow we imagined,

Fuji’s words here are also very interesting. with ‘oath’, could he mean him swearing to catch up on Tezuka in tennis? then the tomorrow Fuji imagined was the one of him quitting tennis? but in that case, why is Tezuka singing that part along? so it’s mostly likely the oath of Tezuka going pro and the future imagined was of them being together.

on another note, that long ‘mooooo’ is so beautiful. it must be great to sing it in karaoke =A=

譲れない 絶対に yuzurenai zettai ni We won't make any compromises definitely

so the conclusion is that getting hurt and the future changing is worth it. though I don’t think they mean it like ‘tennis is worth, even if we lose each other’, but more like ‘we don’t lose eachother, even if we move forward.’ どこからだろう はじまりの景色を考えていた doko karadarou hajimari no keshiki o kangaete ita Where does it start from? I was thinking about the view of beginning 

I’m not quite sure if this translation fits. to me, it sounds more like ‘when did we start to imagine this scenery?’

あの日と同じ 空の青さを いつまでも忘れはしない ano hi to onaji sora no ao-sa o itsu made mo wasure wa shinai I never forget the blue that is the same as on that day

this definitely sounds like Tezuka is always thinking of Fuji. which is a fact.

ここで僕らが出会ってから 重ねた日々があったね koko de bokura ga deatte kara kasaneta hibi ga atta ne We've spent many days since we met here

DAM! Kokode bokura drop!! yes, it’s been 9 years since then.

君の背中に 見た激しさに 僕は瞳を閉じた kimi no senaka ni mita hageshi-sa ni boku wa hitomi o tojita I closed my eyes at your back, your intensity that I saw

this calls to mind the moment Tezuka leaves. and even though it was too intense for Fuji at the time, he decided to move forward, chasing him afterall Ah いつかなんてそんな約束はいらない Ah itsuka nante son'na yakusokuhairanai Ah We need no promise such as "someday"

*crying* there’s no doubt in them that they’ll meet again. so they don’t have to promise it Q-Q and it’s like ‘someday is not a day of the wekk. when’s your next holiday?’

the ‘Ah’ sounds so erotic too..

今始めよう ふたりで ima hajimeyou futari de Shall we start together right now?

another throwback to Kokode. but the line there was ‘sa hajimeyou?’ and this makes it so much better, cuz here it adds NOW! and TOGETHER!

「逢いたい」と想う人がいる `Aitai' to omou hito ga iru We have someone "we want to meet"

弱さじゃない 強くなる為に yowa-sa janai tsuyoku naru tame ni in order to become stronger It isn't a weakness

in doubt whether they meant to want to meet each other or their future self. But considering this line after, I think it does mean they want to see each other, but it’s not a weakness to think that and it pushes them forward.

たとえば今、ふたりの背負うものが変わっても tatoeba ima, futari no seou mono ga kawatte mo Even if right now what we shoulder changes,

たとえば今、ふたりの道が二つに別れても tatoeba ima, futari no michi ga futatsu ni wakaretemo Even if right now our way splits into two,

the way how they say ‘ima’ here seems to mean ‘for now’, rather then ‘right now’. as in, ‘it’s something temporarily’

離れない 絶対に hanarenai zettai ni We never leave each other

‘Hanarenai’ is such a beautiful world. because it means ‘to leave’, but also ‘to let go’ or ‘to take distance’. Perfect Pair is eternal! 過去を塗り替える為に今を生きている訳じゃない kako o nurikaeru tame ni ima o ikite iru wake janai We never live in the present in order to change the past

so Tezuka’s like ‘we’re gonna move forward’, but also ‘I don’t want anything in the past to change.’

守る勇気と変わる勇気を 君が教えてくれた mamoru yūki to kawaru yūki o kimi ga oshiete kureta You told me the courage to defend and change

this! This is always something I believed to be a big problem to Fuji! he’s very scared of choosing for himself, to excel at something, even if it would hurt others. So Tezuka teaching him this courage is a really big deal! Ah 予感なんてそんな曖昧はいらない Ah yokan nante son'na aimai wa iranai Ah We need no vagueness such as "feeling"

確信だけを 求めて kakushin dake o motomete We've just sought a strong belief

‘yokan’ doesn’t mean ‘feelings’ as in emotions, but more like ‘I have a feeling that’. or ‘premonition’. so it contrasts the ‘definitly’ in ‘kakushin’

「さよなら」を言わなかったのは `sayonara' o iwanakatta no wa We didn't say "goodbye" at that time

自分らしく生きて行く覚悟 jibunrashiku ikite iku kakugo It was a preparedness to live life in our own way 

not saying goodbye was like ‘this isn’t farwell’. but they do seem to plan to go on on their own. which is rather sad. at this point, it does sound like they’ll move on with their lives without the other.

たとえばこの痛みが未来さえを奪っても tatoeba kono itami ga mirai sae o ubatte mo Even if this pain takes our future away, たとえばこの誓いが描いた明日を壊しても tatoeba kono chikai ga kaita ashita o kowashite mo Even if this oath breaks tomorrow we imagined, 譲れない 絶対に yuzurenai zettai ni We won't make any compromises definitely それぞれの道を突き進む sorezore no michi o tsukisusumu We carry out our intent 振り向かずに前だけ見て行けば furimukazu ni mae dake mite ikeba Just go forward without looking back

another confirm of ‘moving on without the other’

たとえば今、世界が色を無くしたとしても tatoeba ima, sekai ga iro o nakushita to shite mo Even if right now the world loses its colors,

たとえば今、世界が音を無くしてしまっても tatoeba ima, sekai ga oto o nakushite shimatte mo Even if right now the world loses its sounds,

this is so Fing SAD! to them, a world without the other is like a world without color or sound!! Q-Q slay me now!!

きっと出会える kitto deaeru We can meet again absolutely

and here the sadness stops, they definitely DO plan to be together again =v= 「逢いたい」と想う人がいる `aitai' to omou hito ga iru We have someone "we want to meet" 弱さじゃない 強くなる為に yowa-sa janai tsuyoku naru tame ni in order to become stronger It isn't a weakness たとえば今、ふたりの背負うものが変わっても tatoeba ima, futari no seou mono ga kawatte mo Even if right now what we shoulder changes, たとえば今、ふたりの道が二つに別れても tatoeba ima, futari no michi ga futatsu ni wakaretemo Even if right now our way splits into two, 離れない 永遠に hanarenai eien ni We never leave each other forever
