リンネ (rinne = reborn) is the song that Ebi produced themselves to celebrate their 10 year formation anniversary. I was really scared to translate Hasshi’s lyrics incase I couldn’t do a good job but I think they came out nicely. I think this is a kind of bitter-sweet song about coming to accept who you are. Instead of chasing after the impossible, forgive your past self and keep moving forward by doing what you can.
Original Japanese: Utaten
English Translation
My rainbow
The way I hide
I know that there are impossible things
I won’t forget those days that we chased and ran after
I won’t keep chasing the moon anymore because I have a place to go
Wondering “What will tomorrow bring?” Even if it rains we’ve got a chance
We can use as many colours as we want in this seven coloured world
But if it’s us we’ll change it the colour of the stars
Words
Have no meaning anymore
We were running blind but
The words that you bet on me
I won’t forget I won’t go searching The answer is always us
In the journey along the bumpy road to the sign of 5 stars
1 second felt like eternity
If I was forgiven to be reborn again
If I was forgiven to be reborn again
If the two of us held hands in that place one more time
We can say “Life is beautiful” by just doing this
If I was reborn If I was forgiven
I will become human again, all the way to my heart
