04.01.14
Artist: The Back Horn Title: Natsukusa no Yureru Oka (The Hill of Streaming Summer Grasses) Words: The Back Horn Music: The Back Horn We got to the hill waiting for nightfall through the Buddhist Temple The hill of streaming summer grasses waits for a familiar face. I can't grieve for all the world's sadness all I can do is pray those dear to me find happiness. I thought the world would go on just a bit longer into dusk, the voices of the children playing "step on the shadow" on their way home, *1 people make promises depsite not knowing what tomorrow brings I guess it's the will to live until we meet again. everyone laughs, if I laugh too there's happiness all over I walk blissfully, amidst the festival band's music *2 ever onward. tonight, it's no dream, I'm here look at how earnest my smile is I can start off as many times as it takes I get the feeling I could go anywhere. the sky of my reality, the sorrow of our life turns to rain and falls there were nights we were visited by nothing but resignation now the thunder pounds at my chest telling me to stand up straight even as I struggle the memories bring the present to life I can hear the festival band's music in the distance. tonight, it's no dream, I'm here look at how earnest my smile is I can start off as many times as it takes I get the feeling I could go anywhere. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: On to the *'s. Translator's Notes: A few notes. *1 - This is just when children try to step on someone's shadow, and avoid having anyone step on yours. *2 - The festival band referred to here, is the band that plays atop the 'floats' they bring out for Japanese festivals.
