Unofficial English clammbon fansite

Kimi wa Boku no Mono

Revised 2023-03-14; original comments follow.

This song is directly responsible for my discovery of clammbon. The single had just come out during my first trip to Japan, and a 15-second commercial for it sent me to the CD store without knowing so much as the band’s name. If they had not had a display with a little TV playing the video, I might never have heard of clammbon at all.

The video for this song seems to have been created by a director with some experience in selling big-time pop acts. The whole band looks way more glamorous than they ever do otherwise, and Miss Ikuko is even done up in pink lip-gloss and white eye-makeup! Whoa!

English

You Are Mine

You are the sun, the shining sun
Whenever you’d smile at me

SOS, tears, blur, blur, the schedule

For four seasons, we tied one day to the next

When I sleep, I can remember, down to my toes, utterly

In middle of summer, the days are mine
What would it take for me to say, “you are mine”?

Autumn comes, and spring will not come

A, B, O, AB, around, around, the cycle

Two lives, B and B, are the same, so…

When you hurt, I’ll take as much as you need me to, utterly

Those days are inside of me, continuing forever
You are mine, no one can take that away

The polaroid from the day we met
Still smiles on in a corner to this day

You are the sun, the sinking sun
If you would smile at me just once more

In middle of summer, the days are mine
What would it take for me to say, “you are mine”?

Autumn comes, and spring will not come; I make it through winter, but spring will not come

Japanese

君は僕のもの

君は太陽 照らす太陽
どんなときでも 笑いかけてくれたら

SOS涙 にじむ にじむ スケジュール

4つのきせつ 君と日々をつなぎとめて

眠るとき 思い出せる 足もとまで のこらず

日々は僕のもの 夏のまんなかで
君は僕のもの どうしたらそう言えるの

あきがきたら 春はこない

ABOAB めぐる めぐる サイクル

2つのいのち BとBでおなじだから

痛むとき わけてあげる 足りるまで のこらず

日々は僕のなか どこまでもつづく
君は僕のもの 誰もさえぎれないの

ふたりを知った日のポラロイド
隅っこで今日も笑いつづけているよ

君は太陽 沈む太陽
もういちどだけ 笑いかけてくれたら

日々は僕のもの 夏のまんなかで
君は僕のもの どうしたらそう言えるの

あきがきたら 春はこない 冬を越えても 春はこない
