English Translate -Awich "44bar"
I’ll be late again today, but please leave the door guard unlocked *1
At least rinse the dishes after you eat.
I’m sorry for leaving you alone for so long.
When you say, “It’s okay,” your voice trembles.
You’ve grown, but your hands are still small.
The bond between parent and child isn’t something you can explain with cheap words.
If I had to describe it, I’d say, “accomplices.”
Since the moment you were born—since 2008.
Pretty words don’t work with this kid.
So no one has the right to tell me how to raise mine.
We’ve been through both hell and heaven together.
I don’t talk about surface-level stuff—it’s always heart to heart.
If anyone disses Awich, toyomi will be the first to not forgive them. *2.
She is ride or die.
So I seriously don't have time to restrain anymore.
I’m leading us into a new era.*3
“You can do it, keep going, keep going, keep going…”
That voice keeps echoing in my mind.
Unable to sleep, I sit up and face my fears,
Taking deep breaths to somehow release the stress.
By spring 2021, I could’ve finished the album
But I scrapped it all and started over.
I pushed myself to the edge
It's all or nothing, I'll do it as if this is the last time
Once I decide to do it, I just do it.
Holding a microphone erased my anxiety
I know I don't have much time. It's already December and I'm 35.
I'm scared that I won't be able to make it all in time, yaw
I started the rap game at 14,
”Stop being act cocky Okinawan chick”*4
so I wouldn’t get underestimated.
The thorns I wore to protect myself ended up piercing me instead.
I’ve endured the pain all this time.
The dreams of those who believed in me…
“No matter what happens, you’re the one who has to keep going.”
The loved one who suddenly disappeared that day…*5
The last,swarm of words left for me
I let my racing heartbeat take over,
Deepening the shallow breaths I was taking.
It’s okay—all of this is a test for the chosen ones.
Right now, I’ll just do the best I can.
Because no matter what trials come my way,
I believe they’re all part of a myth.
I won’t doubt it—I’ll live in the moment, with all I have.
It’s okay—it’s a test for the chosen ones.
Right now, I’ll just do the best I can. Let’s go.

日本語歌詞 - Awich "44bar"
今日も遅くなるから ドアのガードだけは開けてて
食べ終わりの食器とかはせめて水を掛けてて
長い間一人で待たせたままでごめんね
「大丈夫」っていうお前の声が震えてる
大きくなったけどまだ小さな手
親子の絆なんてちゃっちい言葉で
説明できるもんじゃない言うならば共犯者
産まれた時から since 2008
こいつに綺麗事は通用しないから
子育てのことでは誰も私に口出しなんてすんな
一緒に地獄も 天国も見てきた
上部だけの話はしないいつも heart to heart
Awich をディスる奴がいたらまず
鳴響美が 許さない あいつは ride or die
だからもう遠慮なんてマジでしてる暇は無い
私が 引っ張っていくんだ 新しい時代
「お前なら出来るさ keep going keep going keep going keep going」
ずっと聞こえてる声
眠れずに体起こし向き合う恐れ
深呼吸でどうにか吐き出そうとするストレス
Yaw 2021の春
までに本当は出来ていたアルバム
それも全部一度白紙にして作り直した
自分で自分を本気で脅した
一か八か伸るか反るかこれが最後のつもりでな
やると決めたらやるだけさ
マイク持てば不安消せた
時間無いの分かる12月でもう35
怖い全て間に合わなくなってしまう事 yaw
14で始めた rap game
沖縄のかぶれ子娘が粋がってんじゃねー
舐められたくないがため 身に纏っていた棘 結局
自分に刺さりずっと耐えてきた pain
信じてきてくれた人達の夢
「何があってもお前だけはやり続けてくれ」
あの日突然消えた愛する人の行方
最後私に残された言葉達の群れ
速まる鼓動にこの身を委ねる
浅くなってた呼吸をまた深める
大丈夫 全て選ばれし者への試練
やる 今 出来ることの最善
だってどんな苦難だってきっと神話の一部だと
疑わず目の前の今を必死で生きること
大丈夫 選ばれし者への試練
やる 今 出来ることの最善 let's go
