私の生きた証拠

At last! The full version is complete! And in a challenge I posed to myself I decided to do the translation in a manner that would have the translated lyrics fit into the tune of the song. I succeeded for the most part, except for one recurring line… But in any case this is by no means completed, so I’ll be updating it pretty soon I should imagine.

Also, chances are I won’t be providing transliterations, unless there’s popular demand. After all, there are usually transliterations at Animelyrics. However, as of 04/09/2007, the corresponding translation for this song on the Animelyrics page isn’t as good as it should be, with some lines obviously taken too literally, with many instances in which English wasn’t used as well as it should.

Enough ranting. Here goes.

偶然じゃない　二人出会えたのは
ずっと前から　決まってた運命
　
　
目を閉じるたび　空を見上げるたびに
幻のようなあの日々が　よみがえる

道は進むたびに　遠くなる
だけど歩くよ　このまま

一つも残さず　忘れたくないよ
優しい言葉も　愛した瞳も
信じていいよね？　もう一度会えると
涙はそれまで　流さないから

偶然じゃない　二人出会えたのは
ずっと前から　変わらない運命
　
　
心から君と　もう一度笑い合いたい
決して叶わぬ　夢でも

私には見える　君との明日が
君にもわかるよ　いつだってそう
必ず守るよ　約束したから
悲しい時には　側にいたいよ

偶然じゃない　二人出会えたのは
ずっと前から　夢見てた運命

Guuzen jya nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara kimatteta unmei

Me wo tojiru tabi sora wo miageru tabi ni
Maboroshi no you na ano hibi ga yomigaeru

Michi wa susumu tabi ni tooku naru
Dakedo aruku yo kono mama

Hitotsu mo nokosazu wasuretakunai yo
Yasashii kotoba mo aishita hitomi mo
Shinjite ii yo ne? Mou ichido aeru to
Namida wa sore made nagasanai kara

Guuzen jya nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara kawaranai unmei

Kokoro kara kimi to mou ichido waraiaitai
Kesshite kanawanu yume demo

Watashi ni wa mieru kimi to no ashita ga
Kimi ni mo wakaru yo itsu datte sou
Kanarazu mamoru yo yakusoku shita kara
Kanashii toki ni wa soba ni itai yo

Guuzen jya nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara yume miteta unmei
　
　
　
English translation
　
　
It was no coincidence that we met –
For it’s a destiny decided since long ago.
　
　
Whenever I close my eyes, whenever I look up at the sky,
Memories of those mirage-like days come back to life.

The end of the path grows further away with each step,
But I will keep on walking – just like this.
　
I don’t want to forget you completely without a trace –
Not your gentle and kind words, nor those eyes that I loved.
May I go on believing that we would meet once again?
For that’s the only way to stop the tears from flowing.

It was no coincidence that we met –
For it’s a destiny unchanged since long ago.
　
　
With all my heart, I wish I could laugh with you once more.
Even if it’s a dream that’ll never come true.

I can see a tomorrow belonging to you and me –
And you see it too, don’t you? For it has always been so.
I’ll guard you without fail, because I have promised to.
I want to be at your side in times of sorrow too.

It was no coincidence that we met –
For it’s a destiny I see in dreams, since long ago.
