English and Romaji subs for Machine Gun Kiss, Kiryu’s karaoke song from Yakuza 5.
This video been a long time in the making! I’ve written my own singable English lyrics for Machine Gun Kiss, with my goal being to hopefully create something more satisfying to sing than the official ones. There were some interesting challenges, especially matching syllables between versions and trying to keep the lyrics flowing, hopefully you all enjoy, I’m quite happy with them!!
===SINGABLE ENGLISH LYRICS===
Midnight shadows sliced through by lights
shrill squealing wheels, tear through this highway city
Seat next to me, unable to hold your head high
nervously blushing so
I’d be your
razor-edged knife, yet you’d hold me
forever dulled in your warm embrace
My sweet babe
So disregard your bleak past, a new future
is ours to tear down and rebuild once again
We’ll find ourselves
a paradise made for you and I
hundreds of millions or maybe ten
