新居昭乃 ― キミへ ムカウ ヒカリ／Arai Akino - Kimi e Mukau Hikari
It surprised me that I completed this song translation first, ahead of all the other projects I’m working on, on and off (call it 20-30 of them).
Just a private comment here, but this song is horrendously sleep-inducing. Mark my words on that.
キミへ ムカウ ヒカリ
TVアニメ「ゼーガペイン」OP
歌：新居昭乃
作詞：新居昭乃
作曲：新居昭乃
編曲：保刈久明
誰が見ているビジュアル？ 目の前の
急な水がカラダを逆さに駆け巡る
今ふたりは出会ったイミを思う
きっと誰かの記憶の中 泳いでいるだけでも
キミの背中 ヒカリの羽が空へ広がる
どんな場所もどんな過去さえも
ただひとつの願いが乗り越えて行くよ
誰も知らない世界にキミといる
届かない言葉のかわりに黙り込む
そうして何度もキミに恋をするだろう
遠い約束 闇を蹴って羽ばたいてく時まで
向かう風に ヒカリの羽が透けて見える
どんな夢もどんな未来でも
キミが望むなら 今連れて行くよ
空と大地をつなぐ水のように深く
キミとボクをつなぐもの 確かなもの
キミの背中 ヒカリの羽が空へ広がる
どんな場所もどんな過去さえも
ただひとつの願いが乗り越えて行くよ
Kimi e Mukau Hikari [The Light that Faces You]
TV Anime “Zegapain” OP (translation)
Vocal: Arai Akino
Lyrics: Arai Akino
Composition: Arai Akino
Who’s seeing this visual before my eyes?
The rushing water surges through my body backwards.
Now, the two of us think about the meaning behind our meeting,
Even though I’m surely just swimming around in someone’s memories.
From your back sprouts wings that extend to the sky,
And be it any place, or even any past,
Just this single desire will surmount it.
Being with you in a world known to no one,
I stay silent, instead of saying words that can’t reach you.
I suppose I’ll fall for you time and again, just like that.
Till the time we break through the darkness and take flight, our distant promise awaits.
Facing the wind, the wings of light seem to be transparent.
And be it any dream, or any future,
If you so desire, I’ll take you there right now.
Deep as the water that connects the sky and earth together
Is that which connects you and me, that something definite.
From your back sprouts wings that extend to the sky,
And be it any place, or even any past,
Just this single desire will surmount it.
Romaji (Romanization)
Dare ga miteiru BIJUARU? Me no mae no
Kyuu na mizu ga karada wo sakasa ni kakemeguru
Ima futari wa deatta imi wo omou
Kitto dareka no kioku no naka oyoideiru dake demo
Kimi no senaka hikari no hane ga sora e hirogaru
Donna basho mo donna kako sae mo
Tada hitotsu no negai ga norikoete yuku yo
Dare mo shiranai sekai ni kimi to iru
Todokanai kotoba no kawari ni damarikomu
Soushite nando mo kimi ni koi wo suru darou
Tooi yakusoku yami wo kette habaiteku toki made
Mukau kaze ni hikari no hane ga sukete mieru
Donna yume mo donna mirai demo
Kimi ga nozomu nara ima tsurete yuku yo
Sora to daichi wo tsunagu mizu no you ni fukaku
Kimi to boku wo tsunagu mono tashikana mono
Kimi no senaka hikari no hane ga sora e hirogaru
Donna basho mo donna kako sae mo
Tada hitotsu no negai ga norikoete yuku yo
