Yui --- Good-bye Days


YUI!!! I love Yui! Her songs are very nice to hear, and she's a cute girl, Japanese girl :D
A composer and a singer. Yui has already launched some albums and many singles. Two of her songs, Life and Rolling Star become the opening and ending song of the anime Bleach.

Yui also played in a movie, titled Taiyou no Uta. In this movie, Yui becomes Amane Kaoru (雨音 薫), a 16 years old girl that is suffered from a skin illness called Xeroderma Pigmentosum, an illness that can cause someone to die from being exposed to the sun. This is because of the deficiency of the DNA repair ability to repair damage caused by UV rays. Here, Yui sings a song titled Good-bye Days. It is a nice song, and the meaning is also very good. The first time I hear it, I don't feel anything special, but after watching the movie, this song quite a sad song I think. Sad and touching if you relate it to the story line. So, here goes, the lyric and the translations :)

Yui - Good-bye Days
だからいま 会いにゆく そう決めたんだ
ポケットの この曲を 君に聴かせたい

そっとヴォリュームを上げて 確かめてみたよ

oh Good-bye days いま 変わる気がする 昨日までに so long
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
~with you

片方の イヤフォンを 君に渡す
ゆっくりと 流れ込む この瞬間

うまく愛せていますか? たまに迷うけど

oh Good-bye days いま 変わり始めた 胸の奥 alright
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
~with you

できれば 悲しい 想いなんてしたくない
でもやってくるでしょ?
そのとき 笑顔で Yeah hello!! my friend なんてさ
言えたならいいのに…

同じ唄を 口ずさむ時 そばにいて I wish
かっこよくない優しさに会えてよかったよ

…Good-bye days

Translation
So I'm going to go see you right now, that's what I've decided
I want to have you listen to this song, that I have in my pocket

Quietly, I turned up the volume, to make sure that it was there

Oh good-bye days, right now I've got the feeling that things are going to change; so long to everything up until yesterday
An uncool kindness is at my side
~With you

I pass one ear phone over to you
And this moment slowly streams over to you

Can you really love me? Even though I sometimes lose my way

Oh good-bye days, right now things inside my heart have begun to change, alright
An uncool kindness is at my side
~With you

If possible, I'd like to not have sad feelings
But they'll come to me, won't they?
In those times, it would be good, if only I could say
"Yeah, hello! My friend", with a smile

When we both are humming the same song, I wish for you to be by my side
I'm glad that we were able to meet each other, with such an uncool kindness

... Good-bye days
