[LYRICS DISCUSSION] Megumi Hayashibara - Plenty of grit & Revolution

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:22:02 GMT

Been a long time hasn't it? Though I don't know if anyone missed me >_>;...

Anyway, looking for some help on a transliteration... actually it'll be two in the end, I just don't know whether to edit this post later and add the second one or make a new post. I'll probably just edit this one for the sake of not annoying people.

Thanks for any help!

(Er if it looks fine please let me know as well, I have this issue with not knowing if people are just not commenting or if there's just nothing wrong so people don't feel the need to comment)

I don't really have any questions, so I suppose please just point out any spacing errors or otherwise that you may see.

吹きあれる風が髪をすり抜けていく
その瞳に映る現実(しんきろう)

fukiareru kaze ga kami wo surinukete iku
sono hitomi ni utsuru shinkirou

光と闇の狭間生まれた魂(いのち)
今再び立ち向かう時と

hikari to yami no hazama umareta inochi
ima futatabi tachimukau toki to

時代を映す鏡さえひび割れ砕けて
それでも生きてる求めてやまない愛を叫んでる

jidai wo utsusu kagami sae hibiware kudakete
soredemo ikiteru motomete yamanai ai wo sakenderu

断ち切れない理想(おもい)抱いて人はさ迷い続ける
立ちはだかる壁見上げるより
打ち崩す術はあると幻を打ち払って
いつだって今ここがはじまり

tachikirenai omoi daite hito wa samayoi tsuzukeru
tachihadakaru kabe miageru yori
uchikuzusu sube wa aru to maboroshi wo uchiharatte
itsudatte ima koko ga hajimari

くり返す日々に置き忘れた願い
目を伏せても本当は知ってる

kurikaesu hibi ni okiwasureta negai
me wo fusete mo hontou wa shitteru

強さと弱さ優しさと傷跡
ゆらぐ心打ち消したくって

tsuyosa to yowasa yasashisa to kizuato
yuragu kokoro uchikeshita kutte

彩られたこの街並みさみしさ隱せず
それでも生きてる
明日(あす)を乗り越える力求めてる

irodorareta kono machinami samishisa kakusezu
soredemo ikiteru
asu wo norikoeru chikara motometeru

強がってるその脆さもひっくるめて愛したい
涙の跡消せない痛みも
受け止めて忘れないでそして未来(あした)が変わるよ
呼び起こせ眠ってる根性(ちから)を

tsuyogatteru sono morosa mo hikkurumete ai shitai
namida no ato kesenai itami mo
uketomete wasurenaide soshite ashita ga kawaru yo
yobiokose nemutteru chikara wo

断ち切れない理想(おもい)抱いて人はさ迷い続ける
立ちはだかる壁見上げるより
打ち崩す術はあると幻を打ち払って
いつだって今ここがはじまり

tachikirenai omoi daite hito wa samayoi tsuzukeru
tachihadakaru kabe miageru yori
uchikuzusu sube wa aru to maboroshi wo uchiharatte
itsudatte ima koko ga hajimari

--------------

Same as last song, no real questions. The part in brackets is in english in the song so I figured there was no point repeating it.

--------------

終わりはしない

owari wa shinai

晴れ渡る空から落ちるとおり涙(あめ)
流れてゆく雲に追いつけなくって

harewataru sora kara ochiru toori ame
nagarete yuku kumo ni oitsukenakutte

旅立ちの先には新しい出会い
でも流されてるようで落ち着かなくって

tabidachi no saki ni wa atarashii deai
demo nagasareteru you de ochitsukanakutte

それでもこの瞬間に
全てが終わる訳じゃないそうでしょ

soredemo kono shunkan ni
subete ga owaru wake ja nai sou desho

あきれる程悩み抜いて
出ない答え今はいらない
ほら本当はあきらめていない
まだまだ行こう
終わりはしない一緒に行こう覚悟決めてね

akireru hodo nayami nuite
denai kotae ima wa iranai
hora hontou wa akiramete inai
mada mada ikou
owari wa shinai issho ni ikou kakugo kimete ne

赤いテールランプ何処までも続く
ブレーキ踏みすぎて思考 (ココロ)が渋滞

akai TEERURANPU dokomademo tsuzuku
BUREEKI fumi sugite kokoro ga juutai

それでもどんな道でも
信じる先に生まれるものでしょ

soredemo donna michi demo
shinjiru saki ni umareru mono desho

あきれる程くり返して
やっと出会える奇跡もあるの
リアルな問題(コト) 山積みでも
逃げはしない隠れもしない
あせらず行こう自分の人生(みち)を

akireru hodo kurikaeshite

[lyrics discussion] UNDER17 - POPOTAN KISS

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:03:32 GMT

Aloha! My inspiration has led me back to the trough one more time. This is a much easier song. I've tried to be more careful.

Any of your valuable suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

あなたに会ったときからわたし　ずっと
あの日のまま止まってるの
わたしの頬にくちびる寄せて
きっと　秘密のスイッチを入れたなの

Anata ni atta toki kara watashi zutto
Ano hi no mama tomatteru no

Kitto himitsu no SUICCHI wo ireta na no

Ever since the time I met you
Those old days came to an end
Lips approaching my cheek
Definitely flipped my secret switch

ああ想い出を灯した
キャンドルを吹き消すように…

Aa omoide wo tomoshita
KYANDORU wo hukikesu you ni...

Ah you lit my memories
to blow out the candle...

フ・ワ・フ・ワ・フ・ワ・ワ　揺れて

ぽぽたん　ぽぽたん　ぽぽたん

Fuwa fuwa fuwawa watage

Popotan popotan popotan
Hoho ni KISU shite
Popotan popotan popotan

Fluffy fluffuff quivering
Lightly popping every time the wind blows
Fluffy fluffuff fluff
Casting away my feelings once again
Liondandy liondandy liondandy
Kiss my cheek

Walking, my shoelaces keep coming untied
When suddenly I lowered my eyes and stopped walking
Until yesterday my spirit was unaccompanied
Patiently waiting for the blooming day, the color of the bud

ああ　微笑みを返した
しあわせになりますように

Aa hohoemi wo kaeshita

Ah you returned my smile
To make me happy

[lyrics discussion] UNDER17 - 夏だ！海だ！スク水だ！

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 02:16:12 GMT

This is a song from a game called すくみず～フェチ☆になるもんっ！
Oddly, in the game the song is called 夏だ! 祭りだ! スク水だ!

I have the gist of it, but some parts mystify me.

I would appreciate any comments on any part of my translation attempt, but I have tinted what I feel are problem areas.

助けてください!

青いスク水が揺れている
夏の浜辺みんなが
ほらね　大声で呼んでいる
両手振って応えた
まぶしいあなたの笑顔

Aoi sukumizu ga yurete iru
Natsu no hamabe minna ga
Hora ne oogoe de yonde iru
Ryoute futte kotaeta
Mabushii anata no egao

~~The blue clear water is quivering~~
My blue school swimsuit is quivering
Everyone is at the summer beach
~~Hey!~~ See! It's calling out in a loud voice
I answered by waving both hands
Radiant, your smiling face

熱い太陽照りつけてくる　砂浜の上
パラソルの下　日差しをよけた　わたしはひとり
泳ぎつかれたあなたが　ふいにとなりに座る
ハァハァしてる横顔ちらり…　胸はドキドキ

Atsui taiyou   teritsukete kuru   sunahama no ue
PARASORU no shita   hizashi wo yoketa   watashi ha hitori
Oyogi tsukareta anata ga fui ni   tonari ni suwaru
Haha shiteru yokogao chirari mune ha DOKIDOKI

The hot sun beginning to shine over the sandy beach
I avoided the sun's rays under a parasol, alone
Tired from swimming, you were suddenly sitting next to me
~~Mama knows~~ Panting, glancing at your profile, my chest, pounding

隣のカップルいちゃいちゃしている
赤くなった頬に　冷たい缶ジュース

Tonari no KAPPURU ichaicha shiteru
Akaku natta hoho ni　tsumetai kan JUUSU

The couple next to us were making out
An icy can of juice on my blushing cheek

青い空の下追いかけて
光る水辺駆け出す
そうよ　この夏は一度きり
輝き出す季節に
気づけばわたし笑顔

Aoi sora no shita oikakete
Hikaru mizube kakedasu
Sou yo kono natsu ha ichidokiri
Kagayakidasu kisetsu ni
Kizukeba watashi ha egao

Chasing under the blue sky
Running off through the shining surf
~~Definitely~~ Yeah this summer, ~~just the first~~ only here once
When I realize this season is
Starting to sparkle, I smile

制服じゃないあなたはちょっと大人っぽくて
わたしなんだか照れくさくなる目を合わさない
他の子にでも私みたいに優しくするの?
勝手だけれどせつない気持ち　ぎこちなくなる

Seifuku ja nai anata ha chotto otonappokute
Watashi nandaka terekusaku naru me wo awasenai
Hoka no ko ni demo watashi mitai ni yasashiku suru no?
Katte da keredo setsunai kimochi gikochinaku naru

With no uniform you ~~easily~~ look a little like an adult
I become kind of shy ~~when we're not eye to eye~~, I can't make eye contact
Are you kind to another girl just like me?
It's selfish but painful feelings become awkward

もうすぐ夕暮れ　陽が落ちてゆく
背中向けたわたし　見上げたらあなた

Mou sugu yuugure hi ga ochite yuku
Senaka muketa watashi miagetara anata

~~Too~~ Very soon twilight, the sun sets and ~~passes~~ goes away
~~When you turned your back to me, I could raise my eyes to you~~
I turned my back and could look up to you

蒼いスク水が揺れている
夏の浜辺二人で
ほらね夢みたいに手をつなぐ
わたしちょっぴり大胆
照れてるあなたの笑顔

Aoi sukumizu ga yurete iru
Natsu no hamabe futari de
Hora ne yume mitai ni te wo tsunagu
Watashi choppiri daitan
Tereteru anata no egao

~~The blue clear water is quivering~~
My blue school swimsuit is quivering
The two of us on the summer beach
~~Hey!~~ See! ~~Touching~~ Holding hands is like a dream
I'm a tiny bit daring
Feeling shy, your smiling face

蒼いスク水が揺れている
窓の外は夕立
ほらね涼しげな風が来て
心素直にさせる
「あのね、わたし…」

Aoi sukumizu ga yurete iru
Mado no soto ha yuudachi
Hora ne suzushige na kaze ga kite
Kokoro sunao ni saseru
"Ano ne, watashi..."

~~The blue clear water is quivering~~
My blue school swimsuit is quivering
Outside the window, an evening shower
~~Hey!~~ See! A cool refreshing wind has come
Making my spirit meek
"Hey, I..."

蒼いスク水が揺れている
魚みたい気持ちいい
ほらね速くなったストローク
いちばんのりのはわたし
ゴールはあなたの笑顔

Aoi sukumizu ga yurete iru
Sakana mitai kimochi ii
Hora ne hayaku natta SUTOROOKU
Ichiban nori ha watashi
GOORU ha anata no egao

~~The blue clear water is quivering~~
My blue school swimsuit is quivering
~~I feel good like a fish~~
Like a fish, feeling good
~~Hey! The stroke came quickly~~
See! My strokes became faster
~~I'm the first rule~~
The first to arrive, me
My goal, your smiling face

la, california?

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:02:50 GMT

is anyone from los angeles here? my friend's been inviting me to live with her in la but i'm not quite sure what i should expect (she's been avoiding my questions...).

~how is the climate/weather like?
~how is transportation? is a car highly required to get around?
~how is the cost of living?
~how bad is discrimination against japanese (with a completely japanese name)?

it'll be nice to get some first-hand feedback :)

Mon, 26 May 2008 05:41:34 GMT

Ok.

So I'm writing this personal Fic, and Xazy did this for the first chapter of my stories. I was wondering....just because it was suggested that I post it on the animelyrics LJ community.

I need help. Serious help with translating

For those of you who can't get into my LJ entry here is what Xazy wrote:

End Chapter 1:
風が有する剣
kaze ga yuusuru ken

And what I roughly translated it into:
"Wind's Sword"

I want the title to be for this chapter: Earth's Naginata

I think that most would see the "Earth" that I would use as chisuikafuukuu, but because I'm using Earth as in nature, and as a whole, I like daichi better. I got the translations here.... >_>

That said I would translate it like I did for my previous chapter as:

daichi no naginata

Or very loosely, like with "Wind's Sword", "Earth's Sword".

I would apriciate it if some one could write out the charaters too if they can....My computer fails at writing those.....and I really don't want to get into that......>_>

[not quite a Japanese question, but...] Professional translation

Sun, 25 May 2008 06:26:49 GMT

So, after several years of amateur translating (and one actual class on translation, so I can claim that it's college that led me to it), I've decided that I want to do it professionally, eventually. Problem is, I have no idea how to go about getting a job as a professional translator -- I don't even know where I should start to look for information on how to do that. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but would any of you happen to have any information/advice/whatever on that front? Or at least, know where I could go/to whom I could talk to get some?

video question

Wed, 14 May 2008 21:04:56 GMT

this is completely unrelated, but does anyone know if it's possible to save the video files on this page: http://www.hpu.edu/index.cfm?section=studentlife2622

i lack knowledge in these types of stuff... i can't even view them on my mac (i have wmp but it keeps on closing).
any help would be appreciated :)

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 01:12:38 GMT

Does anyone know the meaning of "でんすげ"?
I can't find the term in dictionaries...

BTW, don't ask your teacher. *cough*

Some more questions

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:18:39 GMT

Sorry for posting so frequently. Can anyone help me with the following questions?

(Question 1 edited)

1. 試験の前だけ勉強したところで、実力はつかない。

a. Does the above line means "you can't gain any real strength if you study only before the exam"?
b. Does the つかない in this sentence the same as the 付く in 身に付く?
c. Is 付かない the appropriate kanji for the verb つかない in this sentence?

2. Which is the correct choice of word to be used in the following?

a. これはあの作家（らしく / らしい）作品だ。
b. 若者（らしく / らしい）もっと積極的にいろんなことをやってみなさいよ。
c. （走らなかったところで / 走らなくても）間に合います。

I suppose the answers are: a. らしい,　b.らしく,　 c. 走らなくても.
Please let me know if I am right or wrong, thanks!

Help with a phrase

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 01:32:17 GMT

Hi, everybody! Does anyone know the meaning of the phrase 頭も白くなってしまった?

Someone has raised this question in another forum, but there are very different answers to the same question. o.O

Someone said that it means "my hair has turned white".
Someone said that it means "I became scared".

Which one should be the correct translation?

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:31:44 GMT

Hello, I don't really have any full transliterations that need looked over at the moment (well, moreso, :D; I don't think you'd want eight revisions in your faces) so instead I'm just going to ask some questions about things that I'm unsure about.

'崩れ込みたく'? How on earth do I space that? I have it as 'kuzure komi taku' but it doesn't feel right.

'引き裂かれたって'... is 'hikisakaretatte' correct, or is it 'hikisakareta tte'? I might be silly asking that, I don't know since it was one of those times where I stared at it too long... kinda like, have you ever looked at an English word like "clothes" or something for so long that your mind suddenly didn't believe it was correct? >.>... ... Maybe I'm the only one who's crazy like that.

Thank you for your time and any help.

Sugi de vs. sugite

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:17:03 GMT

1. 飲みすぎで頭が痛い。
2. 飲みすぎて頭が痛い。

Which of the above is grammatically correct ?

I think both are correct, but the meanings are different.

1. 飲みすぎで頭が痛い →　My head aches because I drink too much
2. 飲みすぎて頭が痛い →　I drink too much and my head aches

So, example 1 is more commonly used.
Can anyone confirm, please? :)

[OFF-TOPIC] - I need help with a homework assignment!!

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 06:18:15 GMT

Hi yet again. (^^) I have another question I want to ask ( and I hope this doesn't sound weird, or that you guys think this is spam. ^^;; )

Basically, I have a report/speech due next week, and I need email-related statistics (these statistics deal with delivery time; ie, how long it takes to send: a small message, a message with attachments, etc). I can't find anything with Google (and I've been searching for DAYS), so I've decided to gather my own data through a series of 6 small tests.

If you can help (and I really hope you can; I really need more people/data!!), please read this page and follow the steps (I didn't post the steps in here 'cuz it might make the community homepage REALLY long).

Ooh, and one more thing: if you decide to help, I need your answers by Thursday, April 3, 2008 (EST/GMT -5)!!

Thanks in advance, everyone! (And again, I'm sorry if this post is against the rules...)

[HELP] Subtitles/other similar things

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 23:27:08 GMT

I was wondering: are anyone of you (or perhaps someone you know) really good with subtitles (or rather, can you translate -- or at least type the kanji for -- Japanese audio files)?

There are some in-concert conversations that Do As Infinity had (they're anywhere from 1-6 minutes long each), and I'd really like to have them translated and posted on my site someday soon. The problem is, I don't know who to ask and I don't know where to go. ><;

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!! <3

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:17:19 GMT

Hello again all, sorry to bother you (aka: interrupt your possibly otherwise quiet friends list).

I'm looking for some help on a transliteration I did recently-ish, so thank you for your time if you take a look at this.

I can really only think of one thing in particular that I had a question about when transliterating this...

満ちてても... I don't know what to do with that, is it 'michitetemo', 'michite'te mo', or some other spacing variation that isn't coming to mind? I don't run into these things very often I don't think.

Thank you for any help with spacing, typos, etc.

[JAPANESE QUESTION] - I need help speaking to a Japanese vendor. ><;

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 01:59:38 GMT

Hello. =)

UPDATE (March 26): I have heard back from the vendor!! Please see below for his response!!

A few days ago, I saw something that I really want to buy (the vendor's in Japan, but I have a friend who lives in Japan and she agreed to translate messages, and order the item for me in case the vendor doesn't ship overseas).

The only problem is, my friend just left town due to an emergency. ( ><; ) And I want to ask the vendor a question about shipping.

So, I was hoping someone could translate the following for me? Please? ;___;

MY MESSAGE
Hello,

Can you tell me how much shipping is for this item? I live in 佐賀県 (Saga-ken).

THE VENDOR'S RESPONSE
ご質問ありがとうございます。送料はメール便で８０円を予定してます。

...I just tried using BabelFish on this, but I'd like a better translation if you don't mind. (^^) But uh...did he just say that shipping only costs 80 yen?! 'Cuz that's cheap as hell! That's like, 80 cents!!! o____O

He lives in 千葉県 (Chiba-ken), which is like on the other side of Japan (from Saga-ken). So yeah...wow. I'm surprised if that's the actual cost of shipping. x____X

Does anyone know じゃぷん?

This is an episode name. Usually the episode names are about the activity focused upon in the show, like:
Let's 温泉！ or
Let's 遊園地！ or even
Let's にゃんシング！

In this episode 皆 goes to the pool.

This title uses a very strange mixture of scripts (DE). じゃぷん is in hiragana, so it seems like a native word, but I can't find it in my pitiful dictionary.

[japanese question] 言わないとわかんないよね何事も

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 05:02:12 GMT

言わないとわかんないよね何事も

I'm having trouble with this one.

a) To not say anything is to not know anything, no matter what..

b) Whatever it is, you have to say it to know it.

c) Not saying it is not knowing it, nothing more.

d) Everything has to be said to be understood.

It's none of these, is it?

I don't really have any specific questions, but I'm not sure whether I've correctly understood... well, most of it. So any help anyone could give would be appreciated.

I was looking at the moon -- was that honeymoon a dream?
Where are you now?
Please, gaze defiantly at the times
Without turning away
When I collapsed in the deep darkness
At the end, you reached out to me

手にはスカラベそれは永遠を
二人分かち合えるラピス約束の石

In your hand was a scarab -- that is the eternal lapis
That we share, the stone of promise
No matter how many times I must be reborn
Until you realize that I'm here

灼熱の大地凍り付く大地
さまよい歩いて

Over scorching earth and freezing earth
I wander lost
No matter who is holding me, coiled around my heart
Is the silk thread of my memories, which I reeled in close to me
It is so slender, it is so fragile
That it seems it could be severed by a mere sigh

けれどスカラベそれは愛だけを
刻み込んだ君のラピス渡されたから
たとえこの世がまた崩れ去っても
君の名を呼ぶこの声を君は知るだろう

keredo SUKARABE sore wa ai dake o
kizamikonda kimi no RAPISU watasareta kara
tatoe kono yo ga mata kuzuresatte mo
kimi no na o yobu kono koe o kimi wa shiru darou

But the scarab, that is your lapis
Engraved only with love, and because you gave it to me
Even if this world has already crumbled away
You will know the sound of my voice calling your name

サルビアが咲く頃
空と海が溶ける

SARUBIA ga saku koro
sora to umi ga tokeru

When the salvia blossom blooms
The sky and the sea melt

手にはスカラベそれは永遠を
二人分かち合えるラピス約束の石
何度生まれ変わることになっても
私がここにいることを君が知るまで

te ni wa SUKARABE sore wa eien o
futari wakachiaeru RAPISU yakusoku no ishi
nando umarekawaru koto ni natte mo
watashi ga koko ni iru koto o kimi ga shiru made

In your hand was a scarab -- that is the eternal lapis
That we share, the stone of promise
No matter how many times I must be reborn
Until you realize that I'm here

Hello again, sorry to bother you all again so soon...

This is probably going to be a little messy, so any help is appreciated.

This song seems so long to me, though I guess it's really not...

Anyway... uh... there's a lot of spacing I'm unsure about, but the only thing I'm really going to ask about is '出たんだ'. Is it 'detanda' or some other spacing?

x.x Well... in any case, any help with spacing, typos, etc, is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, as always! :3 I'll make sure to leave you all alone for a little bit now...

誰を護るの?何を求めるの?
見えないもの?大切なもの?
「かけがえのない人」

たどりたどりたどり着くあの日に
あなたと私と長い長い夢の旅

[LYRICS DISCUSSION] Riyu Kosaka - "yes or no"

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:05:02 GMT

Hello again, hope everyone had good holidays last month.

Looking for some help on a transliteration I did today. :D

Hmm I think I have some questions.

There's a lot of spacing I was unsure about here D: so I probably won't ask about them all and will just see what happens, but here's the ones that come to mind at the moment...

知りすぎたの? 慣れすぎたの? - I was unsure if I should put 'shirisugita/naresugita' or 'shiri sugita/nare sugita'.

僕らは間違いだらけの世界でまだ迷い続けながら… - Maybe it's just me, but it feels like something around the bolded part should be connected... am I wrong, is it fine the way I have it? Or is it 'mayoitsuzuke' or something?

僕は望んじゃいない - Couldn't figure out what to do with the bolded part, so I spaced it... but it looks odd.

And as always, help with typos or other mistakes is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

[Lyrics Discussion] 宵待雨月 - sola image song

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:44:42 GMT

Translated mostly because I like this song and Hata Aki (畑亜貴) is one of my favorite lyricists. Unfortunately her lyrics are always pretty abstract and hard to translate! A lot of the English doesn't make too much sense, any and all comments are welcome.

宵待雨月

Waiting for Dusk in April

作詞：畑亜貴／作曲：末廣健一郎／編曲：末廣健一郎／
歌：結城アイラ

秘められた思い出に　囚われ続けて
永遠を遡る　なぜ出会ったの
night rain...

himerareta omoide ni torawaretuzukete
eien wo sakanoboru naze deatta no
night rain...

Held captive by hidden memories
going back in eternity, why is it that we met?
night rain...

ひとり何も知らずに待っていたよ
違う場所があるなら　誰がいるの？
時間だけは静かに過去をなぞる
生まれ変わる輪廻が　人の定め

hitori nani mo shirazu ni matte ita yo
chigau basho ga aru nara dare ga iru no?
jikan dake wa shizukani kako wo nazoru
umarekawaru rinne ga hito no sadame

Alone and unaware, I was waiting
If there is another place, who is there?
Time, alone, quietly traces the past
The cycle of birth and death is the fate of man

瞳からあふれてく
悲しみを拭いてから
あなたから貰った　愛の欠片抱いて

hitomi kara afureteku
kanashimi wo fuite kara
anata kara moratta ai no kakera daite

After wiping away the sadness
that flows out from my eyes
I embrace the fragment of love that you gave me

止めどなく降りしきる
涙色の雨
優しいね痛みさえ　流してゆく
秘められた思い出に　囚われ続けて
永遠を遡れば　なぜ出会ったの
night rain...

tomedonaku furishikiru
namida iro no ame
yasashii ne itami sae nagashite yuku
himerareta omoide ni torawaretsuzukete
eien wo sakanoboreba naze deatta no
night rain...

Rain, the color of tears
continues to fall unceasingly
Kindly washing away my pain
Held captive by hidden memories
going back in eternity, why is it that we met?
night rain...

闇の狭間いつかは分かり合える
夢みたいな願いが　消えないまま

yami no hazama itsuka wa wakariaeru
yume mitai na negai ga kienai mama

At the crack of darkness, one day we will understand each other
as long as our dream-like wish does not disappear

人混みに紛れても
お互いを呼ぶように
終わりへの階段昇る　空に向けて

hitogomi ni magiretemo
otagai wo yobu you ni
owari he no kaidan noboru sora ni mukete

Even if we become seperated in the crowd,
as if we are calling out to each other,
we will climb the stairs leading to the end, while facing the sky

明日に咲く花の声
聞けない日が来て
救われる希望の中　消えたいのに
追い追われ疲れ果て　それでも待ってる
永遠を断ち切るため　手を差し出して

asu ni saku hana no koe
kikenai hi ga kite
sukuwareru kibou no naka kietai no ni
oi oware tsukarehate soredemo matteru
eien wo tachikiru tame te wo sashidashite

When the day comes that I can no longer hear
the voices of tomorrow's flowers blooming
Even though I want to disappear within the hope of being saved
Tired out from chasing and being chased, and yet I'm still waiting
So as to break away from eternity, reach your hand out to me

心へと染みわたる
涙色の雨
優しいね痛みさえ　流してゆく
秘められた思い出に　囚われ続けて
永遠を遡れば　なぜ出会ったの
night rain...

kokoro he to shimiwataru
namida iro no ame
yasashii ne itami sae nagashite yuku
himerareta omoide ni torawaretsuzukete
eien wo sakanoboreba naze deatta no
night rain...

Rain, the color of tears
soaks into my heart
Kindly washing away my pain
Held captive by hidden memories
going back in eternity, why is it that we met?
night rain...
