My take on English lyrics for "Chase" by Batta from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Taking inspiration from the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure wiki and its transcription of a translation of the lyrics to "Chase" by Batta, as well as the official English version, I'm continuing my practice at this sort of thing by trying to construct English lyrics for my own satisfaction. Hopefully it combines the best features of both versions into something cohesive that manages to stay strong throughout.
All my precious moments have been stolen away
By a demon that's invaded my whole life
If I do nothing, I may just collapse.
Acting unconcerned and so nonchalant,
Before I'd even noticed they'd been torn asunder
If I want to reclaim them, I've got to act fast.
Like an arrow, sharp and narrow, when our hearts collide
And the beauty of our battle will pierce your eyes.
Anywhere, I'll chase you!
Anytime, I'll chase you!
You know I'll chase you!
There's nowhere you can hide.
Here I come; I'll chase you!
Again tomorrow, chase you!
And when I catch you, I'll beat your face blue.
Victory, decided by tenacity.
That's why always I'll chase you.
Like an arrow, sharp and narrow, when our hearts collide
And the beauty of our battle will pierce your eyes.
Anywhere, I'll chase you!
Anytime, I'll chase you!
You know I'll chase you!
There's nowhere you can hide.
Here I come; I'll chase you!
Again tomorrow, chase you!
And when I catch you, I'll beat your face blue.
Chase, chase, chase you!
Chase, chase, chase you!
Chase, chase, chase you!
And the dream that I must glimpse again.
Chase, chase, chase you!
Chase, chase, chase you!
While your nightmare, it will never end.
Victory, decided by tenacity.
Until then always I'll chase you.
