Fujita Maiko - Hotaru (Kanji + Romanization + English Lyric)

[@rocco1274]

After listening to this beautiful song on repeat for the last two weeks, I feel like I had to correct some things in the translation, here is my version: In the midst of the wet season Today the rain stopped A lukewarm wind blows through the quiet night streets Summer draws near Shining with light it steals my gaze I want to hold it I want to try touching it You are just like this firefly Is it already okay to come and catch you? It seems like not yet Is it already okay to come and catch it? That heart of yours I can’t tell how you feel The more I want the more it hurts Even so I could never hate you To look at the fireflies that gently flutter in the air from a place a little bit away is what I like the best quietly, quietly I can’t hold it, I can’t reach it I can’t hold it, that heart of yours I want to cry when I feel ’It is only me that is loving’ Our feelings can’t become the same Is it already okay to come and catch you? It seems like not yet Is it already okay to come and catch it? That heart of yours I can’t tell how you feel The more I want the more it hurts Even so I could never hate you I want to cry when I feel ’It is only me that is loving’ I want to know how you feel I can’t tell how you feel (In the midst of the wet season Today the rain stopped a lukewarm wind blows through the quiet night streets) Even so I could never hate you (Passing through the quiet night streets Summer draws near) (Today the rain stopped Summer draws near)

[@ashiya.az2409]

Thanks for the english translation ☺ I really appreciated it since I don't really know much about the real meaning of the song, I also copy pasted it from google 😅

[@rocco1274]

@@ashiya.az2409 I just could not leave this beautiful song with a faulty translation. Translating Japanese is pretty difficult as alot is obmitted that has to be added in order to make sensible sentences in English, so there is no "one correct translation", just many wrong ones XD I also kind of added a localization instead of literal translation, as the "Are you ready?" part is kinda correct when translated literal, but this phrase is used in the hide and seek game, where the seeker, after counting down, asks: "mou ii kai? = Is it ok already (to come and catch you?) = Are you ready?" and the hiders reply with "mada dayo = not yet" or "ii yo = you can come, so to incorporate this context of the hide and seek game phrase I translated it as: Is it already okay to come and catch you? Anyway thanks for the Heart and Like.

You can tell that the person who sang this has a deep sadness or put loads of emotion into this song about something which upset him/her...this song is like a memory from a dream...whatever the artist was going through,I see it,I feel it and I think we all know the feeling...

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

To me this song became a self-fulfilling prophecy. I denied a part or two at first because it didn't suit me during that time. Later- I discovered just how true the song would become, and eventually became. Even to this day i feel it. A song about a prophecy come true. Wonder and ponder, whilst time goes on. Yet i also move on, but the memory sometimes linger.

Ive never listened to a song with such depth and meaning. This is also the reason for me to pursue Japanese songs. Unlike the current English songs with mere words Japanese songs have such beautiful meaning. Especially this one which makes me cry everytime I hear it. Fujita Maiko is a wonderful person with beautiful skill and talent. I hope that we will hear more songs like this in the future. EDIT: - A huge fan from India.

Actually, this song doesn't have any connection with Hotarubi no mori e. It was first released in Fujita Maiko's single Shunkan in 2011 and doesn't belong to Hotarubi no mori e OST. it's just that because a Vietnamese did a Hotarubi AMV with this song that people mistook this song to be Hotarubi OST.
