Lyrics - KEEP ON MOVIN'

[Mystical Sand]

Couldn't help myself; I started romanizing this last night as soon as I listened to it the first time. DIVE INTO STREAM and soukyuu no flight are in progress, but I figured since I'd finished this one, I'd post it now. :)

This song almost makes me cry with how beautiful it is. I think I might understand about 75-80% of the words, too, which is another reason to cry (from joy; holy crap, I'm making progress).

KEEP MOVIN’ ON

Movin' on by midnight train kikoeru yo whistle again
Movin' on by midnight train nagareteru konna [rifurein]
Keep on movin', Keep on movin', Keep on movin'

kakekonda saishuu ressha de boku wa ima tsugi no machi he to...
To the future stage
hitori mado ni utsuru zutto miakita yoru
kyou wa naze ka yasashii keshiki memories are in your mind
tsubuyaku say goodbye [sayonara] to your eyes hitotsu oite ikou
Let me see your body shake, your body move

[beru] ga hibiku kaze ga ugoku kono omoi ga ryuusei ni naru
[namida] nado nagasanaisa tatoe mune ga harisakesou demo
itsumademo donna toki mo mae wo muite
kagayaki wa ano hi no mama Keep on movin' on

My entire life is a free style nani kara mo [furii] da
koko ni tourai shiteru shinjidai wo shinjitai
youyaku norikondetta kono saishuu no ressha
mune no omoi tsudzuru [messeeji] nokoshite
ichiban taisetsu na [anata] saigo made ienakatta
[namida] miseru koto nanka yappa dekinakatta
konpeki no fuukei attouteki na new sasurau koto ga jinseisa Keep on movin’ on

egao narabu shashin sotto mekuru kisetsu
honki datta bukiyou na hodo memories are in your mind
itsushika say good bye ashiato hitotsu to your eyes nokoreba ii
Let me see your body shake, your body move

machi wa tooku sora wa musebu mada [kokoro] wa atsuku sakenderu
meguriau wakarete yuku soshite boku wa tabibito ni naru
itsumademo donna toki mo mae wo muite
kagayaki wa ano hi no mama Keep on movin' on

I know I got to make it "Keep on movin'"
So now, time to say I keep on movin'

boku wa hashiru hashitte yuku tatoe yoru ga asu wo kakushitemo
nando demo koe wo ageru tatoe dare ga boku wo warattemo
itsumademo donna toki mo mae wo muite itai to negau
akogare wa ano hi no mama ano hi no mama
kagayaki wa ano hi no mama Keep on movin' on

So now, I’m movin' on by midnight train

Hi Mystical Sand!
Firstly, I greatly appreciate your hard work for this song.
Secondly, can i use your lyrics for my small project of introducing the music I like?
It would be great if, you could write a small summary of what this nice rock ballad is about.
For the reason, i like this song is because it is released when t-kimura was stepping-down from m.o.v.e. I feel that it was more of a 'good-bye' song to him.
Hope you could reply soon! ;D

Hi! I don't have a problem with you using the lyrics; go ahead. :)

As for the song's meaning, my Japanese isn't good enough to do a line-by-line translation, but the song is basically about going somewhere far away and missing the special person you left behind. The lyrics talk about how lonely it is to see just their own reflection in the window on the train, and wondering how the weather/scenery can be so nice when all they feel is heartbroken. They also talk about having to hide their tears from the "most important person" they left behind, and although they will always have fond memories of their time together, "forever, always, I face forward" and "keep on movin' on".

I hope that helps. :) I'd be interested to see your finished project, when it's ready!
