あたたかな風の中で 誰かが呼んでる 暗闇を惜しむように 夜明けが始まる |
Atataka na kaze no naka de Dareka ga yonderu Kurayami wo oshimu you ni Yoake ga hajimaru |
Within the warm breeze Somebody is calling As if regretting the darkness Daybreak begins |
|
明日はきっと 綺麗な空に 銀色の虹がかかるでしょう |
Ashita wa kitto Kirei na sora ni Gin iro no niji ga kakaru deshou |
Tomorrow will surely bring a silver rainbow over the beautiful sky |
|
こんなに哀しい景色を 君が光に変えて行く 小さな涙の粒さえ 宝石のように落ちてく 未来の中へ |
Konna ni kanashii keshiki wo Kimi ga hikari ni kaete yuku Chiisana namida no tsubusae Houseki no you ni ochiteku Mirai no naka he |
You turn such a sad scenery as this into light Even a teardrop falls like a jewel Towards the future |
|
心には秘密がある それでも触れたくて 触れ合えば壊れて行く 躊躇いは螺旋の中へ |
Kokoro ni wa himitsu ga aru Sore demo furetakute Fure aeba kowarete yuku Tamerai wa rasen no naka he |
You have a secret in your heart Even so, I want to touch it If we touch each other we will break Hesitation leads to within a spiral |
|
橋を渡った河の向こうまで 明日はきっと…… 真昼の中で 春は甘く深く香るのでしょう 夢から醒めて 人は何を探すの |
Hashi wo watatta kawa no mukou made Ashita wa kitto Mahiru no naka de Haru wa amaku fukaku kaoru no deshou Yume kara samete Hito wa nani wo sagasu no |
Until we cross the bridge to the other side of the lake Tomorrow will surely… bring the sweet and deep scents of Spring within the midday What do people search for when they awaken from a dream? |

|
こんなに明るい世界へ 君が私を連れて行く 眩しさにまだ立ち竦む 背中をそっと抱きしめる |
Konna ni akarui sekai he Kimi ga watashi wo tsurete yuku Mabushisa ni mada tachitsubumu Senaka wo sotto dakishimeru |
You take me to a world as bright as this I am still cowering from the radiance You gently hug my back |
|
信じることの儚さを 君が光に変えて行く 目醒めた朝には涙が 宝石のように落ちてく 未来の中へ |
Shinjiru koto no hakanasa wo Kimi ga hikari ni kaete yuku Mezameta asa ni wa namida ga Houseki no you ni ochiteku Mirai no naka he |
You turn the fragility of the things I believe in into light The tears in the morning I awake fall like jewels Towards the future |

wakana’s solo in kimi ga hikari ni kaete iku didn’t impressed me. her voice didn’t bring me the “sorrow” feel i felt when keiko sang it.
it’s for sure that kalafina’s personal member has incredible voice one another, but it’s better if they sing together, because when they sing together their voice are “BEYOND ANGELS”
How wonderful ~^-^~ Thanks a lot for the lyrics
Keiko’s deep voice has a ripple effect and gave out gentle tremors which is suitable for gentle songs like this one. Wakana on the other hand, her ability to sing in high-pitch is suitable for mysterious and pain-lamenting songs like Fairytale and Kizuato.
anyone know where I can find the acoustic version?
A minor note–in the acoustic version, 4th stanza, the last line is missing. It is the same as the original: “Hito wa nani wo sagasu no”. However, the bridge is indeed not sung in the acoustic version, and goes directly to “Konna ni akarui sekai he”.
wakana voice in this song is unique. indescribable
Thank you for the translations! This is the best song for me, I love it so much.
just want to tell, you forgot to add the line “hito wa nani wo sagasu no” at the re/oblivious ver.
I love how wakana sings the acoustic version it makes me cry :>
Right around that 5th stanza, where it translates to “cross the bridge to the other side of the lake,” “kawa” translates to “river.” I looked at the kanji to be sure, and it does look different from “kawa” that I know, but after looking up the kanji 河, it also appears to translate to river. Am I missing a colloquialism?
I agree that Keiko-san takes the spotlight of this song! She is great
Wakana-san…not so much
the line that “mabushisa ni mada tachitsubumu” is wrong; it should be “tachisukumu”
I concur, the lyric
立ち竦む
should be tachisukumu
