Original Lyrics: Motoo Fujiwara
Translators: Ayano - Anime Music and amenochigalileo
That light that slipped through the window pane
Hit the floor just like rain
And there’s where it made its first friend
I was pulled away by my empty hands
Because nothing was in them
I ended up inside this dream
If what’s ordinary mixes
With other normal things it’s
Gonna create some magic somewhere that we have been
That might be dreamed up by demons
But it doesn’t matter ‘cause since then
I have been living deep inside a dream
When I heard that song
From a caged bird I noticed something wrong
That I’d lost what I hold dear
That I can’t turn back now that / I’m here
Why does this body of mine keep on living?
What is that wish inside my heart now stirring?
My lungs breathed in the vastness of the cycle of nature
My breathing out is proof that I’m living for sure
Can you hear the key / as it’s turning?
It calls out to me / “follow your yearning!”
Amid all that red blood, a part of every being, I will weave together those threads that I cannot see
I’m still caught between the night and day
Forced into choices I hate
Every time there’s a decision to weigh
The treasure we’ve chased for years
We can’t reach when it appears
Our sacrifices aren’t enough to keep it here
Would I like it to be undone?
Is this really what I want?
All of those thoughts disappear into the dim bonfire
Is it okay to continue on?
This isn’t the end at all
We can’t go far enough to wake from this dream again
If you decide this once that what you want is to continue
We can put our trust in the wind’s song and listen as it blows to dawn
If someone’s gone, the stars will keep on spinning!
Today becomes the past when tomorrow’s beginning!
A world so flawless and so cruel will never alter
Yet somewhere an ant has started to falter
There’s not another / guide that’s coming
Just follow after / your heartbeat’s drumming
Despite all your doubt, you’ll set out on your journey, hoping in nothing apart from the strength of your legs
Why does this body of mine keep on living?
What is that wish inside my heart now stirring?
I am linked to the vastness of the cycle of nature
My breathing out is proof that I’m living for sure
Can you hear the key / as it’s turning?
It calls out to me / “follow your yearning!”
Amid all that red blood, a part of every being, seeking those unraveling threads I cannot see
