夜を超える僕らのうた 遠くまで響くように 憎しみより強い気持ち 探したんだ手を伸ばして |
yoru wo koeru bokura no uta tooku made hibiku you ni nikushimi yori tsuyoi kimochi sagashitanda te wo nobashite |
So that our song that transcends the night will echo far and wide, I reached out my hand and I searched for a feeling stronger than hate |
| 闇の中で光るものは 小さく、だけどずっと側に 繋いだ心の証を 掲げて進む |
yami no naka de hikaru mono wa chiisaku, dakedo zutto soba ni tsunaida kokoro no akashi wo kakagete susumu |
What shines in the darkness is small, but it has always been by my side While holding up the proof that connects hearts I move forward |
|
行け 果てしない世界のかなしみは この小さな手のひらに余るけど 優しい日々には もう戻れない どこにも帰らない |
yuke hateshinai sekai no kanashimi wa kono chiisana tenohira ni amaru kedo yasashii hibi ni wa mou modorenai doko ni mo kaeranai |
Go! Although the sadness of the endless world is too much, for the palm of this little hand, I can never go back to the gentle days There is nowhere to return |
|
明日へ 篝火を高く燃やすから 残酷な夜に輝け [tate sono ilaria ale oso isaria] 君の声が聞こえた[adiooso adiooso] |
ashita e kagaribi wo takaku moyasu kara zankoku na yoru ni kagayake [tate sono ilaria ale oso isaria] kimi no koe ga kikoeta[adiooso adiooso] |
Towards tomorrow, I will burn the bonfire high Shine in the cruel night, [tate sono ilaria ale oso isaria] I heard your voice[adiooso adiooso] |
|
白く凍えた想いも痛みも [asortia] ずっと側に [canti sima madi sono ilaria |
shiroku kogoeta omoi mo itami mo [asortia] zutto soba ni [canti sima madi sono ilaria |
Even the white, frozen thoughts and pain [asortia] have always been by my side [canti sima madi sono ilaria |
|
匂い立つ闇から生まれた [bahu bau bahu bahu bau bahu] 黒い願いの中に沈んでも [antisoria dia antio sontis di iria] 夜を超える僕らのうた 君の元へ届くように まだ見ぬ夜明けは遠く |
nioi tetsu yami kara umareta [bahu bau bahu bahu bau bahu] kuroi negai no naka ni shizun demo [antisoria dia antio sontis di iria] yoru wo koeru bokura no uta kimi no moto e todoku you ni mada minu yoake wa tooku |
Even if I sink into a black wish [bahu bau bahu bahu bau bahu] born from the smelly darkness, [antisoria dia antio sontis di iria] so that our song that transcends the night will reach out to you, The dawn we have not yet seen is far away |
|
憎しみより強い歌を 一人だって歌うけれど とても遠くから聞こえる 君の声を信じてるんだ |
nikushimi yori tsuyoi uta wo hitori datte utau keredo totemo tooku kara kikoeru kimi no koe wo shinjiterunda |
I sing a song stronger than hate, even when I’m alone, but I believe in your voice that comes from very far away |
| 一人じゃないと叫びながら 独りぼっちで血濡れる僕ら 繋いだすべての想いを 抱えて進む [cantiara sastiara antiara ahoara […] a destario […] astiosa santio] |
hitori ja nai to sakebi nagara hitoribocchi de chi nureru bokura tsunaida subete no omoi wo kakaete susumu [cantiara sastiara antiara ahoara […] a destario […] astiosa santio] |
While screaming that we’re not alone, we get covered in blood all alone Carrying all the emotions that we have connected, I move forward [cantiara sastiara antiara ahoara […] a destario […] astiosa santio] |
|
夢見ていたんだ 君が側にいて 懐かしい青空を見上げてた 生きていることは 美しいんだよ それだけでいいよと 笑ってた |
yume mite itanda kimi ga soba ni ite natsukashii aozora wo miageteta ikiteiru koto wa utsukushiinda yo sore dake de ii yo to waratteta |
I was dreaming, You were by my side, looking up at the nostalgic blue sky ‘It’s beautiful, to be alive, and it’s enough’ You laughed and said so |
|
胸に残された道しるべ 光へと続いているから [tate sono ilaria] 闇の中を [ale oso isaria] 駆け抜け[adiooso adisoori ahh] |
mune ni nokosareta michishirube hikari e to tsuzuite iru kara [tate sono ilaria] yami no naka wo [ale oso isaria] kakenuke [adiooso adisoori ahh] |
The signpost left in my heart, leads to the light [tate sono ilaria] I run through [ale oso isaria] the darkness [adiooso adisoori ahh] |
|
悲しみよりも強い歌 [istioso] 君の元へ届くように あと一歩だけ一つだけ 夜を越えて [esta dia domina] 行け |
kanashimi yori mo tsuyoi uta [istioso] kimi no moto e todoku you ni ato iipo dake hitotsu dake yoru wo koete [esta dia domina] yuke |
so that our song conquers sadness [istioso] reaches out to you Just one more step, Just one more night Transcend the night [esta dia domina] and go |
