A DAY WITHOUT YOU Translation

街行く人波の中 すれ違う君に

香りで気づいて すぐに振り返る

他人の背中の奥 見失った後に

冷たい手のひらで不意の目隠し

Machiyuku hito nami no naka   Surechigau kimi ni

Kaori de kizuite   Sugu ni furikaeru

Tajin no senaka no oku   Miushinatta ato ni

Tsumetai te no hira de fui no mekakushi

In the waves of people walking through the city, I passed by you.

I recognised your scent and quickly looked back.

Deep in the crowd of other peoples’ backs after I had lost sight of you,

I abruptly covered my eyes with the palm of my cold hand.

Ah このままずっと時間が止まってしまえばいい

そんな胸の高鳴りを感じた

Ah   Kono mama zutto toki¹ ga tomatte shimaeba ii

Sonna mune no takanari wo kanjita

Ah, I wish I could stop time right here forever.

I could feel the throbbing of my heart.

いつしか二人は愛というものに慣れて

ありのままの自分に甘えすぎた

そんな日々の中 気付けなかった本音を

涙をこらえながら君は言った

Itsushika futari ha ai to iu mono ni narete

Ari no mama no jibun ni amaesugita

Sonna hibi no naka   Kizukenakatta honne wo

Namida wo korae nagara kimi ha itta

Before we knew it, we had grown accustomed to this thing called love.

The truth is that I behaved too much like a spoiled child.

During those days, I didn’t realise my true motive.

While you were resisting tears, you said:

「ねぇ … 気持ちがわからない」

君の言葉が分からない

そばにいるから だから見えなくなる

“Nee… kimochi ga wakaranai”

Kimi no kotoba ga wakaranai

Soba ni iru kara   Da kara mienaku naru

“Hey… I don’t understand my feelings.”

I don’t understand your words.

Because you were by my side, they faded from my thoughts.

君を失う事なんて考えられない

答えはその一つなのに

抱きしめることさえも出来なくて苦しめてた

Kimi wo ushinau koto nante kangaerarenai

Kotae ha sono hitotsu na no ni

Dakishimeru koto sae mo dekinakute kurushimeteta

I can’t even think of losing you.

Though that’s just one answer,

I was tortured that I was unable to even hold you close.

「聞きたかった」

「でも聞くことなんて出来ず」

「ずっと 変わらないでいる気持ちを伝えて欲しくて」

だけど側にいればいるほど見えなくなる想い

当たり前の日々の中で苦しめ続けた

“Kikitakatta”

“De mo kiku koto nante dekizu”

“Zutto   Kawaranai de iru kimochi wo tsutaete hoshikute”

Dakedo soba ni ireba iru hodo mienaku naru omoi

Atari mae no hibi no naka de kurushime tsuzuketa

“I wanted to ask.”

“But I can’t.”

“I want to tell you my feelings that will never change.”

Even so, the emotions are so dear to me that they became invisible to my view.

My suffering continued in those commonplace days.

君を失う事なんて考えられない

答えはその一つなのに

抱きしめることさえも出来なくて苦しめてた

Kimi wo ushinau koto nante kangaerarenai

Kotae ha sono hitotsu na no ni

Dakishimeru koto sae mo dekinakute kurushimeteta

I can’t even think of losing you.

Though that’s just one answer,

I was tortured that I was unable to even hold you close.

SHADOWS FANG Translation

あなたと同じ時代に生まれて

肩を並べ風を受ける

誰かが出す少しの疑問も

何一つも逃がさない

Anata to onaji toki¹ ni umarete

Kata wo narabe kaze wo ukeru

Dare ka ga dasu sukoshi no shitsumon mo

Nani hitotsu mo nigasanai

I was born in the same age as you,

Struck by the wind as we’re shoulder by shoulder.

I won’t escape from even a single one of 

The few questions someone may bring me.

I Believe. We have a Sympathy.

宿命に飲み込まれて

傷が共鳴してゆく

I Believe. We have a Sympathy.

Shukumei ni nomikomarete

Kizu ga kyoumei shiteyuku

I Believe. We have a Sympathy.

We’re engulfed by fate,

Our wounds resonant.

どんなに独りで探してみても

出せない答えがここにはあるから

さぁ避けていた群れに戻ろう

大きな獲物を仕留めるために

Donna ni hitori de sagashite mite mo

Dasenai kotae ga koko ni ha aru kara

Saa saketeita mure ni modorou

Ooki na emono wo shitomeru tame ni

It doesn’t matter that I tried to search alone,

Because the answer that wouldn’t be revealed is now here.

Now, let’s return to the pack I avoided

So we can bring down the big game!

孤独を好んで群れをさけて

誰も知らない場所にいた

あなたともし出会ってなければ

いまここにはいない

Kodoku wo kononde mure wo sakete

Dare mo shiranai basho ni ita

Anata to moshi deatte nakereba

Ima koko ni ha inai

Intentionally alone, I avoid the crowd

In this place where I know no one.

If I hadn’t met you by chance,

I wouldn’t be here now.

I Believe. You are my Destiny.

運命を描き出して

遠吠え 共鳴してゆく

I Believe. You are my Destiny.

Unmei wo egakidashite

Tooboe   Kyoumei shite yuku

I Believe. We have a Sympathy.

Expressing my fate,

I howl, my voice synchronising.

どんなに独りで探してみても

出せない答えがここにはあるから

さぁ避けていた群れに戻ろう

大きな獲物を仕留めるため

Donna ni hitori de sagashite mite mo

Dasenai kotae ga koko ni ha aru kara

Saa saketeita mure ni modorou

Ooki na emono wo shitomeru tame

It doesn’t matter that I tried to search alone,

Because the answer that wouldn’t be revealed is now here.

Now, let’s return to the pack I avoided

So we can bring down the big game!

Ah 強い風を 共に受け止めて

私たちはいまここに並んだ

孤独な狼

Ah  Tsuyoi kaze wo  Tomo ni uketomete

Watashitachi ha ima koko ni naranda

Kodoku na ookami

Ah, we’ll endure the strong wind together.

We’re standing here now,

Us lone wolves.

La Musique Translation

かつてそれは貴族達のために招かれ

宴の度 宮廷に響いた

美しすぎるメロディー

Katsute sore ha kizokutachi no tame ni manekare

Utage no tabi   Kyuutei ni hibiita

Utsukushisugiru merodii

In a time gone by, I was summoned for the aristocrats.

At every banquet, the beautiful melody

Resounded through the royal court.

勇気や希望 時に涙を与えて

彼らの心を操る

Yuuki ya kibou   Toki ni namida wo ataete

Karera no kokoro wo ayatsu

Sometimes, courage and hope cause tears

And pull the strings of their hearts.

芸術という爵位を捨て 民衆にさえ寄り添う

そんな音楽を いま守りたい

私たちを出会わせてくれた感謝を

Geijutsu to iu shakui wo sutete   Minshuu ni sae yorisou

Sonna anata¹ wo   Ima mamoritai

Watashitachi wo deawasete kureta kansha wo

Casting aside the accolades of “art”, I even grew close to the common people.

Now, I want to protect you,

And the gratitude I have for our chance meeting.

旋律で貫いた貴族のセレネイド

残酷な時代だから抱きしめたい

夢を孤独を愛の言葉を

そう 載せて音楽は

Senritsu de tsurenuita kizoku no sereneido

Zankoku na toki² da kara dakishimetai

Yume wo kodoku wo ai no kotoba wo

Sou   Nosete anata¹ ha

With our melody, we’ll pierce into the aristocrat’s serenade.

Because it’s such a cruel time, I want to hold you close.

Yes, you ride upon

The dreams, the solitude, the words of love.

Ah どんな時代でも愛を奏で続けている

Ah   Donna jidai de mo ai wo kanade tsuzuketeiru

Ah, no matter the era, I’ll continue to play love.

Ah どんな時代でも愛を奏でている

人々の想いを願いを背負って

Ah   Donna jidai de mo ai wo kanadeteiru

Hitobito no omoi wo negai wo seotte

Ah, no matter the era, I’ll play love,

Burdened with the people’s emotions and wishes.

旋律で貫いた貴族のセレネイド

残酷な時代だから抱きしめたい

夢を孤独を愛の言葉を

愛を奏でている

私たちと共に

Ai wo kanadeteiru

Watashitachi to tomo ni

You’re playing love

With us.

残酷な時代だから激しく燃えて

旋律で貫いた愛はコンチェルト

重ね交わる二人のように

Ah 人と音楽は

Zankoku na toki da kara hageshiku moete

Senritsu de tsuranuita ai ha koncheruto

Kasanemajiwaru futari no you ni

Ah   Hito to anata ha

Because it’s such a cruel time, we burn violently.

The love piercing through the melody is a concerto.

People and you are

Ah, like overlapping lovers.
