| Romaji Lyrics | English Translation |
|---|
akaku nijimu taiyou wa subete o
terashite kita ima mo mukashi mo
kono yuuyami ni egaiteru souzou wa
hatashite kono te ni oenai mono na no ka? |
the crimson-stained sun
has illuminated everything; now and the past
is what i have imagined within this twilight
more than my own hands can accomplish? |
motto ima ijou ni hadaka ni natte
ikite yuku jutsu oshiete yo
honno sukoshi dake watashi o yogoshite
sou yatte hitori kizutsuitari
mawari o nakushita to shite mo
shinjitsu no uta wa kono mune ni nagare |
please teach me how to live
a little more vulnerably than i do now []
won't you taint me just a little?
that way, even if i get hurt
and lose everything around me
this song of truth will flow through my heart |
arasoi wa mada tsuzukun darou
dono michi ima ga taisetsu na no sa
gamushara ni natte miotoshite kita mono
tatoeba dare ka no yasashii hohoemi mo |
this dispute will probably go on
about that which is most precious[2]
i've become a rebel, i've overlooked things
even the gentle smiles of strangers |
eien o shireba donna kurayami mo
itami mo itsuka kiete
sou yatte ima wa watashi o yogoshite
zutto mukashi mita tenkuu no shiro ni
itsuka wa tadoritsukeru
shinjitsu no uta o michishirube ni shite |
if eternity knows what manner of darkness
and when pain will vanish,
then that way, you shall taint me
i looked always to yesterday, to the castles in the sky
when will i be able to follow them?
this song of truth shall be my guide |
eien o shireba donna kurayami mo
itami mo itsuka kiete
shinjitsu no uta wa kono mune ni nagare |
if eternity knows what manner of darkness
and when pain will vanish,
this song of truth will flow through my heart |
motto ima ijou ni watashi o yogoshite
hon no sukoshi dake watashi o yogoshite |
now, please, taint me just a little
please, just taint me, only a little |
shinjitsu no uta o michishirube ni shite |
this song of truth shall be my guide |
[] this literally means "to become naked", but i didn't think that was quite what they meant... ;) so i took a little artistic liberty.
[2] this actually meant "what road" is most precious, but that didn't make as much sense, so i took a few more liberties. ^_^
