Title:
「空は高く風は歌う」 “The Sky High Wind Sings”
| Kanji | Romaji | English |
|---|---|---|
|
どうして空はこんなに青くて 何も悲しみを知らぬように いつも躊躇わず明日へと崩れ落ちる |
doushite sora wa konna ni aokute nanimo kanashimi o shiranu you ni itsumo tamerawazu ashita e to kuzureochiru |
why is the sky so blue as if it knows nothing of kindness? we tumble towards the hesitating future |
|
いのちは 足りないまま生まれて来るのね 痛みが満たすものもあるのね 欠け落ちた心に貴方が触れて |
inochi wa tarinai mama umarete kuru no ne itami ga mitasu mono mo aru no ne kakeochita kokoro ni anata ga furete |
coming to life is never enough things that appease pain also exist, right? you touch my broken and fallen heart |
|
二人で行く未来は 穢れの無い強さで |
futari de yuku mirai wa kegarenonai tsuyosa de |
the future we’re going towards is unblemished strength |
|
空は高く風は歌う 夢を見てた 歓びへと 人はいつか辿り着ける 子供の瞳で 貴方は信じた 側にいるよ 凍り付いた森を抜けて その瞳が世界の嘆きに 迷わぬように |
sora wa takaku kaze wa utau yume o miteta yorokobi e to hito wa itsuka tadoritsukeru kodomo no hitomi de anata wa shinjita soba ni iru yo kooritsuita mori o nukete sono hitomi ga sekai no nageki ni mayowanu you ni |
the sky high wind sings you believed with the eyes of a child that someday, people will finally be able to reach the joy they dreamt of i am by your side as you escape the forest you were frozen to so that those eyes of yours will never be fazed by the world’s anguish |
|
どうして届かない光だけが いつも何よりも 眩しい正しさで 叶わない明日へと人を裁く |
doushite todokanai hikari dake ga itsumo naniyorimo mabushii tadashisa de kanawanai ashita e to hito o sabaku |
why does the unreachable light alone judge people with radiant righteousness as it heads to the unfulfilled tomorrow? |
|
冷たい背中にそっと触れてみた 世界の優しさを信じない 人だから 誰よりも優しかった |
tsumetai senaka ni sotto furete mita sekai no yasashisa o shinjinai hito dakara dare yori mo yasashikatta |
i tried to softly touch your cold back but because you are a person who doesn’t believe in the world’s kindness who were you more friendly than? |
|
生きていたよ 未来へ 空に風を残して |
ikite ita yo mirai e sora ni kaze o nokoshite |
i was alive as i headed towards the future i left the wind in the sky behind |
|
夢は何処に眠るのだろう いつか誰もいなくなった この岸辺に寄せて返す 光の欠片に なれると信じた 闇に還る想いたちが 燃え尽きてく その灯りを標に 世界はまた夢を見る |
yume wa doko ni nemuru no darou itsuka daremo inakunatta kono kishibe ni yosete kaesu hikari no kakera ni nareru to shinjita yami ni kaeru omoi-tachi ga moetsukiteku sono akari o shirube ni sekai wa mata yume o miru |
i wonder where dreams sleep someday, when everyone has left will they come near to this bank of the river and restore it? my thoughts that i believed that could become light fragments return to the darkness and are burning out as i mark that light, the world will dream again |
|
空は高く風は歌う 貴方が見た夢の記憶 その叫びが 優しい木霊を 返しているよ |
sora wa takaku kaze wa utau anata ga mita yume no kioku sono sakebi ga yasashii kodama o kaeshite iru yo |
the sky high wind sings the memory of a dream’s cry that you have seen is returning as a kind echo |

Also thanks to KP-X for her help in translation.
I think she is the one who sings the “ooooo”/ “aaaaa” in the chorus..
Okay, is it me, or are the translations inaccurate? .___.
@ rishi: Nope, its Akiko Noda (look at the top), @ Nijii: That’s strange, this translation is the result of the collab between the 4 members that know best Japanese in the forum, if you have any objection please post it here http://forum.canta-per-me.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3364&start=15
MOST BEAUTIFULLY HEARTBREAKING SONG I’VE EVER ENCOUNTERED ON THIS SITE
Simple but very nice melody and beautiful lyrics. Wish it was arranged by Kajiura and sung by Keiko. I think it would become one of her most powerful ballad.
Seems the translation is really a bit inaccurate. The structure of the sentences and words are themselves difficult, not to mention the habitual omission of subjects and objects in the language, as well as the poetic rearrangement of phrases…
You can provide you own if you want 🙂
