Derp. Sorry for the wait, folks. Harumi fell asleep at the wheel.
GET UP ~Japanese Version~ (Translation by Harumi)
Go away You remain sitting crosslegged over there
Though I might be amazed I'm not being honest to myself
I cry for you hello hello
Your voice doesn't answer
You can't hear me? Hello, hello, I cry for you
Get up get up get up
The seasons go on
And they always grow in brilliance
Our dreams are beyond the window
If you want to grab them, kick it down
Get out of here, there's a treasure I hold close
A deadline's not necessary for everything
You can't hear me? Hello, hello, I cry for you
Get up, get up, get up
The seasons go on
And they always grow in brilliance
Our dreams are beyond the window
If you want to grab them, open your eyes
Wake up...
Look, the seasons go on
And they always grow in brilliance
Our dreams are beyond the window
If you want to grab them, kick it down

thanks to all who contributed each part for the full set of kanji. romaji and english translation. i think i still prefer the original english lyrics for myself.
RE: Beast Lyrics collection - harumi - 01-06-2011
I was looking over my translation and compared it with the original English lyrics for GET UP. I made a slight change that seemed to make more sense to me. Originally in the last line of the base chorus I wrote "If you want to grab, better get started." This was a case where the lyrics made perfect sense in Japanese, but were somewhat difficult to convey in English, so I used my artistic license...kettobase on its own just means "to kick"...I originally interpreted it as "kick off" as that is an acceptable translation and my artistic license molded it into "get started." Now I realize Hyde is telling us our dreams are beyond the window and if we want them we have to kick that window IN...not kick off (or "kickstart now" as the case may be lol).
Perhaps I'm splitting hairs here, but it was bothering me enough that I changed it in the original translation post I made.

Thanks very much for the translation, harumi! The lyrics pretty much mean what I thought they meant in the convoluted English lyrics ^^; - Assuming I'm interpreting correctly anyway.
