Title:
「黄昏の海」 “The Sea of Twilight”
| Kanji | Romaji | English |
|---|---|---|
|
黄昏の海に出て 二人は二度ともう巡り 会えないの… |
Tasogare no umi ni dete Futari wa nido to mou meguri Aenai no |
Sailing out into the sea of twilight, The two of us shall never again Cross paths… |
|
黄金の灯りが海に落ちて 夏の風が途切れた 怯える二人にただ 寄せて返す水音 |
Kin no akari ga umi ni ochite Natsu no kaze ga togireta Obieru futaru ni tada Yosete kaesu mizuoto |
A golden light falls into the sea; The wind has paused. The two of us, frightened, Hear only the light crashing of water. |
|
何を信じてここまで来た 道も忘れ果てたの さよなら告げるための 優しさだけ残して |
Nani o shinjite koko made kita Michi mo wasure hateta no Sayonara tsugeru tame no Yasashisa dake nokoshite |
I’ve forgotten my path completely, What I believed in to make it this far; Only enough kindness to say goodbye Have I been left with. |
|
どんなに波を重ねて 想い出を叫んでも 貴方のいた岸辺には もう帰れない |
Donna ni nami o kasanete Omoide o sakende mo Anata no ita kishibe ni wa Mou kaerenai |
No matter how many waves crash down As I cry out to my memories, I can’t ever return to the shore You were on. |
|
黄昏だけを抱いて あの日の波はもう深い 海の底 悲しみを知らない 蒼い夢を見て眠っている |
Tasogare dake o daite Ano hi no nami wa mou fukai Umi no soko Kanashimi o shiranai Aoi yume o mite nemutte iru |
With only the twilight in their embrace, The waves of days past are already deep At the ocean’s bottom, Knowing no sadness, Dreaming blue dreams, fast asleep. |
|
暗い水の向こうに揺れる 知らない街の灯り とても近くに見えた まほろばの花の頃 |
Kurai mizu no mukou ni yureru Shiranai machi no akari Totemo chikaku ni mieta Mahoroba no hana no koro |
The light of an unknown town Flickered beyond the dark waters Back when the flowers of paradise Seemed so very close. |
|
あの時もう一つだけ 遠い波を越えたら 貴方のいる岸辺まで 辿り着いたの |
Ano toki mou hitotsu dake Tooi nami o koetaru Anata no iru kishibe made Tadori tsuita no |
If I had crossed over one final Distant wave at that time, Would I have reached the shore You were on? |
|
黄昏の海に出て 二人は二度ともう巡り 会えないの 寂しい眼差しを 重ねて眠った夜も消えて |
Tasogare no umi ni dete Futari wa nido to mou meguri Aenai no Sabishii manazashi o Kasanete nemutta yoru mo kiete |
Sailing out into the sea of twilight, The two of us shall never again Cross paths, And the nights of falling asleep Looking into your lonesome eyes will disappear. |
|
黄昏だけを抱いて あの日の波はもう深い 海の底 悲しみを知らない 蒼い夢を見て眠っている 黄昏の海に出て 二人は二度ともう巡り 会えないの 寂しい眼差しを 重ねて眠った夜も消えて |
Tasogare dake o daite Ano hi no nami wa mou fukai Umi no soko Kanashimi o shiranai Aoi yume o mite nemutte iru Tasogare no umi ni dete Futari wa nido to mou meguri Aenai no Sabishii manazashi o Kasanete nemutta yoru mo kiete |
With only the twilight in their embrace, The waves of days past are already deep At the ocean’s bottom, Knowing no sadness, Dreaming blue dreams, fast asleep. Sailing out into the sea of twilight, The two of us shall never again Cross paths, And the nights of falling asleep Looking into your lonesome eyes will disappear. |
Wow! Amazing lyrics! you are amazing Yuki!! ^_^
Awesome song
I love Chiaki’s voice so much
I’m only familiar with the TV Edit version so far, but wow–Ishikawa-san just knocks it out of the park! Looking forward to finding the full-blown version.
Now that I’ve heard the full-length version, there is no doubt in my mind: this is one of Kajiura-sensei’s very best, with stunning vocals by Ishikawa-san. The opening passage is often repeated, but never gets tired–proof that like Mike Oldfield, Kajiura understands repitition’s power if what’s being repeated is worthwhile. And that ending, building until we get to Konno-san’s violin, is just amazing! Given the lyrical content, letting this song fade out rather than giving us a solid end is just as well. Proof that ‘Dream Field’ is an amazing must-have album.
Listening to this after hearing the Dream Field 2019 Live announcement and once again, this song is probably one of the most epic tracks ever in See-Saw whole discography. The drum kicks are so good I can tootally drunk-dance to this song forever
^ Wow, a Mike Oldfield reference on a Yuki Kajiura webpage. One of my favorite songs, Far Country, is by Mike Oldfield :]
Speaking of repetition, I think the only way the repetition works is because Yuki keeps changing what’s being repeated, changing the lyrics to “la la” and then mixing the lyrics with “la la” and then adding violin, so that it’s not pure repetition, it stays fresh with every iteration. I hate when songs repeat the exact same thing without trying to change/add anything from the last chorus. I want songs to leave me wanting more, not to kill what made them good until I’m sick of them 😛
Hm ? You re the one who menthioned Mike Oldfield, why you react as if its in the lyrics ?
They’re remarking on the fact that one of the previous commenter mentioned how like Mike Oldfield, repetitive segments never get old!
Yeah it’s literally one of the comments above mine. If you’re going to act like a Know it All, maybe read before you post? Sorry to be a jerk, but you really do act like a Know it All
Know it alls dont make question but statements 😛 I made question.
