Sung by Koshimizu Ami


Original / Romaji LyricsEnglish Translation
"Ryouri o suru no mo, e o kaku koto mo, gakki o hiku mo tanoshii shi,
koko ni wa yomikirenai hodo no hon ga aru..."
"I enjoy cooking, drawing, and playing instruments,
and here there are so many books I'll never read them all..."
soshite nani yori watashi wa mui ni toki o sugosu yorokobi o shitte iru
sore wa tooi mukashi otousan {papa} ka dareka ni oshiete moratta mono
--- sonna ki ga suru no da...
And so more than anything, I know the joy of passing the time idly
It's something that my papa or someone taught me long ago...
-- that's the feeling that I have...
"7 {sette} YAADO de hicchuu dekiru you ni naru made kaette kuruna"
--- to shoujo no tantoukan {Raballo} wa itta...
shoujo ga kanaderu yoru to asa no rinbukyoku {rondo} dangan wa ame no naka odoritsudzuketa...
"Don't come back until you can hit the target from seven yards away."
-- the girl's guardian {Raballo} said...
In the rain, the bullets kept on dancing to the rondo that the girl played morning and night
meirei ni wa fukujuu--- "joukendzuke" to wa "tetsu no okite {legge}" kai...
ojouchan... ojouchan... {Claes... Claes...}
Is obedience to orders-- "conditioning"-- an "iron law"?
Young lady... young lady... {Claes... Claes...}
"Kyouyou ya koukishin no nai yatsu wa yoi heishi ni narenai kara na"
--- to buaisou na tantoukan {Raballo} wa itta...
shoujo no shashin {fotografia} totemo daijisou ni hon o kakaete hohoende ita
"It's because people without education or curiosity don't make good soldiers."
-- the blunt guardian {Raballo} said...
Keeping her photo with utmost importance, he held the book in his hands and smiled
kioku no kakikae-- "joukendzuke" to wa "tetsu no ori {gabbia}" kai...
ojouchan... ojouchan... {Claes... Claes...}
Is the rewriting of memories-- "conditioning"-- an "iron cell"?
Young lady... young lady... {Claes... Claes...}
"Shageki no renshuu wa shibaraku chuushi to nari,
yokujitsu, watashi-tachi wa asa kara dekakeru koto to natta..."
"Target practice was cancelled for a little while,
So it was decided that we'd go out the next morning..."
"--- Sore kara, watashi-tachi wa nandoka mizuumi ni ashi o hakonda.
RONBARUDIA, VENETO, PIEMONTE....
Kousha de no watashi-tachi wa itsumo mukuchi de,
otagai kyoukan to oshiego no yakuwari o chuujitsu ni konashita ga,
nazeka itsumo mizuumi de wa kaiwa ga susunda.
sore ga futari no anmoku no RUURU datta no da..."
"--- And from then on, we visited many lakes.
In Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmonte...
We never said much to each other at the Agency,
Faithfully playing the parts of teacher and student,
But somehow at the lake we always talked.
That was our unspoken rule..."
[seitoubouei igai de wa nuite wa naranai]
chikatetsu ni waku CHINPIRA aite no chotto shita jicchi kunren
kirameku hamono {knife} ga tsukisasaru shunkan no shougeki
[shageki no ude yori nuku TAIMINGU]
juuyou da to osowatte'ta no ni...
[Don't draw your weapon except in self-defense]
A little bit of practical training in the subway station infested with hoodlums
The moment the knife pierced me was a shock
Even though I'd been taught that the timing of the draw
Is more important than the shooting skill...
aa... hamono {knife} no ma ni haitte kara juu o tsukau to kimete mo
aa... aite no ma ni haitte kara hikigane o hiite mo osoi n'da
--- kondo utsu toki wa kesshite tamerawanai
Ah... once you're within stabbing range, even if you've decided to use a gun
Ah... once you're within the enemy's range, it's too late to pull the trigger
--- Next time I won't hesitate
kousha no shageki kunrenjou NJAMUtta shoujo no SIG N
subayaku tsumeyoru RABARO N kobushi de hajiketonda HENRIETTA N
ko o egaki JOZE o haritobasu N
sono haigo ni wa tachiagatta HENRIETTA N
mochiageta kyouki o kamaete N RABARO ni shoujun o awaseta N
sore o mita watashi wa hikigane o hiita N kondo wa tamerawanakatta...
The shooting range at the Agency N The girl's SIG jammed N
Raballo quickly approached N Sending Henrietta flying with his fist N
Sending Giuse flying in an arc N
Henrietta stood up behind him N
Raising a weapon N she aimed it at him N
Seeing this, I pulled the trigger N This time I didn't hesitate...
"Watashi ga taiin shite ma mo naku RABARO-san wa kousha o satta.
Shukusha no kagi to furubita megane, kazoekirenai omoide o nokoshite.
Watashi ga kare no sugata o mita no wa sore ga saigo datta..."
"Immediately after I got out of the hospital, Raballo left the Agency,
Leaving me the key to his room, an old pair of glasses, and countless memories.
That was the last I saw of him..."
[kono megane o kakete'ru aida wa otonashii KURAESU]
kakikae kanou na "meirei" ja nai... chi no kayotta "yakusoku"
[When you wear these glasses, you'll be the quiet Claes]
That's not an "order" that can be changed... it's a promise sealed in blood.
soshite nani yori watashi wa mui ni toki o sugosu yorokobi o shitte iru
sore wa tooi mukashi otousan {papa} ka dareka ni oshiete moratta mono
--- sonna ki ga suru no da...
And so more than anything, I know the joy of passing the time idly
It's something that my papa or someone taught me long ago...
-- that's the feeling that I have...

The words in curly brackets are what is sung, when it differs from what is written in the lyrics booklet.
