| Original / Romaji Lyrics | English Translation |
|---|---|
Kisetsu wo hakobu kaze ga fuku Mou sugu atarashii nanika to Meguri aeru ki ga shita | Blows against the tranquil season, I had a feeling that I'd have A chance meeting with something new |
Hirogaru sora wo miagetara Mada takutabi ni chigau Katachi wo tsukuru Shiroi kumo | At the endless, spreading sky, At the white clouds, their travels Making ever-changing patterns* |
Yume wo kanaetai no ka nan te Umaku ienai kotaemo Itsuka nanimokamo Mieru toki ga kuruto shinjiteru Daremo sore wo motomeru | Why do you want to make your dreams come true? Even if I can't give you a good answer to that, I believe that someday The time will come when I'll be able to see it. Everyone's searching for that. |
Sotto me wo tojitemiru Omoide no kakera Hitotsu hitotsu ga Tashikana tsugi he to Michibiite Koko kara mata Arukidaseru | I softly try to close my eyes Every one of the fragments of my memories Guide me surely to where I should go next.** So from here on, I'll be able to walk again |
Toki wa nagarete ikukeredo Kokoro ni nokoseru mono Taisetsuna mono Mitsuketai | Incessantly, but I want to find the things left behind in my heart, The important things. |
Yume to akogareno chigau wo Shirazu muchuu de hashitta Itsuka kono ude ga Todoku toki ga kuru to shinjiteta Ima mo kataku shinjiteru | I ran desperately, not knowing The difference between dreams and desire. But I believed that someday The time would come when my arm will be able to reach. And even now, I still believe firmly in it |
Kitto mioroshiteiru Kinou wo wasurezu Asu ni obiezu Oshierareta koto Mune ni daki Sora wo mezashi Aruki dasou | You are surely watching over me. Without forgetting yesterday, without fearing tomorrow, Holding close in my heart the things I was taught (by you), Aiming for the sky - I begin to walk |
Sotto me wo tojitemiru Omoide no kakera Hitotsu hitotsu ga Tashikana tsugi he to Michibiite Koko kara mata Arukidaseru | I softly try to close my eyes Every one of the fragments of my memories Guide me surely to where I should go next.** So from here on, I'll be able to walk again |
*Completely un-literal, but it's so incomprehensible in English that I tried to just convey the idea of the line - while Hikaru looks at the sky, the white clouds are forming different shapes on their flighty/flickering travels. It's kind of wild. ^^;
**This is another line that doesn't translate too prettily into English. Literally, the line says Hikaru's memories are guiding him to the "correct, sure next" - but this next is like, the near future, or, as my friend Dina put it, "the next step." That sounds much better and also captures the immediacy of "tsugi," so I've used it in the translation (so please don't yell at me because there's no "ippo" in there ^^; ).
***Oh, this is a hard two lines to translate; even though it's very close as to not wreck the form of the previous chorus first line, the next line and the "sou" totally change the meaning and the sentence pattern in English. Before, it was "under the blue sky, etc., (here's me, Hikaru), closing my eyes." But since Japanese doesn't require the use of subject nouns, this line, though looking very similar-looking to the one above, is actually talking about Sai. So now, it's changed to "(Looking down at) what's beneath that blue sky (that Hikaru's under), etc., (you, Sai) are watching over (obviously, "me," Hikaru)." But they don't have to put all those unwieldy changes in - wah! Japanese really is all about the nuances, people... fuu...
