02.01.18
Artist: The Back Horn Title: Sora, Hoshi, Umi No Yoru (A Night Sky, Stars and Sea) Words: The Back Horn Music: The Back Horn I woke up to find that I had fallen down to the abyss of night inside a pitch black room The soft blurry light a mundane* dream Before I knew it I had fallen sound asleep The lights of the town bloomed The silhouettes of the lost kids burned into the road home I sit down and nestle up next to them And sing so they can make it through another day The crazy wind is crying The shadows of buildings used to constant change Just spitting out stuff like "Be strong" I feel my heart growing impure You reach out to the night sky as if you could really touch it When that feeling finally dies and withers all away My song will die Longing for those smiling faces My summer spirit always thinking about how I wish these times would never end That feeling disappeared under the transparent rain If adjusting just means kindness and the strength needed to forgive We joined hands so we wouldn't forget Could you fly if I let go right now? The night sky, stars, and sea Living on the edge, burning with desire This is how I'm gonna live If you wish hard enough My song will lead the way The crazy wind is crying The shadows of buildings used to constant change Just spitting out stuff like "Be strong" I feel my heart growing impure You reach out to the night sky as if you could really touch it When that feeling finally dies and withers all away The night sky, stars, and sea Living on the edge burning with desire This is how I'm gonna live If you wish hard enough My song will lead the way Translated By: Brian Dunn. I try to write the English so it flows along with the Japanese lyrics as much as possible, breaking the lines with the flow of the singing. Translator's Note: Ukiyo -- I translated "Ukiyo no yume" as "a mundane dream." "Ukiyo" means "mundaneness; this life; human life; worldliness; fleeting life." It's the same "Ukiyo" as "Ukiyo-E," the color wood block prints of "glimpses of fleeting life." Romaji To Be Added Romaji By: Brian Stewart |
