 English Lyrics
Kenshi Yonezu "amen"
Lyrics: Kenshi Yonezu
Composition: Kenshi Yonezu

 

Ah, a horse runs atop the black asphalt 


A wildly growing mass of trees, without any wind the scent of rain fills the air


Ah, Among the flask scenery in Tokyo


I lost my way and cried for the distant past



 

Ah, Departed souls enticing the wayward grass into the pool of light


I pass through the 9 gates headed towards the base of that mountain


Searching for flowers to fill an empty vase with


I embarrassingly lived in a rush in the distant past 



 

Please mom and dad I want you to 


Tell me the reason I was born into this world


Because I don’t need sad memories, just beautiful ones


I offer words of prayer [amen]



 

Ah, Full of anger I was clad in black flames 


Will you please liberate this heart of mine?


Ah, Or otherwise would you burn my body 


With this pure thunder until it’s reduced to ashes?



Ah,  Burning alone in this room making so much noise


 

The sparks dancing like they’re grinding their teeth grow and devour the oxygen


Thank you, now my body is completely enthralled in distress


Wishing we can see each other again 

I say goodnight until tomorrow

 



Please mom and dad I want you to 


Tell me the reason I was born into this world


Because I don’t need sad memories, just beautiful ones


I offer words of prayer [amen]



 

Please mom and dad I want you to 


Tell me the reason I was born into this world


Because I don’t need sad memories, just beautiful ones


I offer words of prayer [amen]

Ah, Uma ga hashiru kuroi asufaruto no ue
Susanda namiki kazemonashi kaoridasu ame no kipai
Ah, Tokyou wa furasuko no naka no fuukei
Mayoikonde wa naiteita no wa tooi toii mukashi
 
Ah, Hikari no ori ni michikusa wo izanau bourei
Kokonotsu no mon wo tourinukete ano yama no fumoto e to
Karappo no kabin ni ikeru hana wo sagashiteiru
Hazukashii kurai iki isoideitai tooi tooi mukashi
 
Onegai mama papa konoyo ni umareta sono imi wo
Oshiete houshii no watashi ni
Kanashii omoide wa iranai kata, tada tada utsukushii omoide o
Inori no kotoba wo amen
 
Ah, Ikari ga michiru kuroi honou wo matotte
Douka watashi no kono kokoro wo yurushite kure yashinaika
Ah, Samonakereba sono kiyoi ikazuchi wo motte
Watashi no mi wo hai ni naru made yaite kurenai ka
 
Ah, Oto wo tatete moeru heta no naka hitori
Hagishiri mitai ni honoko wa mau sansou wo tabete sodatsu
Arigatou ima mi wo yatsusu kujuu no subete ni
Saikai wo onegai kuou wa oyasumi mata ashita
 
Onegai mama papa konoyo ni umareta sono imi wo
Oshiete houshi no watashi ni
Kanashii omoidewa iranai kara, tada tada utsukushii omoide wo
Inori no kotoba wo amen

Onegai mama papa konoyo ni umareta sono imi wo
Oshiete houshi no watashi ni
Kanashii omoidewa iranai kara, tada tada utsukushii omoide wo
Inori no kotoba wo amen

 
歌詞
米津玄師「amen」
作詞：米津玄師
作曲：米津玄師 

Ah 馬が走る 黒いアスファルトの上
荒んだ並木 風もなし 香りだす雨の気配
Ah 東京はフラスコの中の風景
迷い込んでは泣いていたのは遠い遠い昔
 
Ah 光の澱に 道草を誘う亡霊
九つの門を通り抜けてあの山の麓へと
空っぽの花瓶に活ける花を探している
恥ずかしいくらい生き急いでいた遠い遠い昔
 
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
教えて欲しいの わたしに
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
祈りの言葉を amen
 
Ah 怒りが満ちる 黒い炎を纏って
どうかわたしの この心を 赦してくれやしないか
Ah さもなければ その清い雷を以って
わたしの身を 灰になるまで 焼いてくれないか
 
Ah 音を立てて燃える部屋の中ひとり
歯軋りみたいに火の粉は舞う 酸素を食べて育つ
ありがとう 今 身をやつす苦渋の全てに
再会を願い 今日はおやすみ また明日
 
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
教えて欲しいの わたしに
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
祈りの言葉を amen
 
お願い ママ パパ この世に生まれたその意味を
教えて欲しいの わたしに
悲しい思い出はいらないから ただただ美しい思い出を
祈りの言葉を amen
