Game: Fragile Dreams; Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Japanese Artist: Aoi Teshima
Ne, kawaranai mono wa mou
Kono sekai ni nai ka na?
Ne, tsutaetai koto wa mou
Kono kokoro ni nai ka na?
Yoru no fuchi asa ga matsu
Kurikaesu hibi
Ne, ano yakusoku sae mou
Wasurete yuku no naraba
Ne, kono utagoe dake aa
Kimi ni todoku you ni to
Owari kara hajimari he
Afuredasu namida kara hajimaru kyou
Tooku he tooku he
Sugita toki no kage boushi
Hikari motome aa
Tooku he tooku he
Kienai you ni kagerou
Tsukamitai nee
Kousa suru kousa suru
Hikari to kage
Sono saki ni nani ga aru
English Lyrics by: SoRo
Hey, if we only get one chance to live… would it be best to just walk away?
Hey, if there are still things that we need to say… wouldn’t it be wrong to tell a lie?
All the darkest nights end when sun arrives
And always repeat that way…
Hey, even if you forget our promise… could you just make sure you never change?
Hey, and in the end if I reach out to you… could you please just once call out my name?
Looking through the past, from the start till’ now
I had always hoped that these tears would stop falling someday!
Oh~
Faraway, faraway, all the shadows of the past will melt and fade… searching for the light someday!
Faraway, faraway, all the hopes and dreams that we once had cascade… and fall away!
The light and dark, they intersect and it balances out
‘cuz beyond this pain… lies a brighter day.
~~~~~~
NOTE:
Writing these lyrics was very difficult for me but It came to a point where I had to scrap my entire draft and just write from scratch with one main theme in mind while trying to keep true to the original lyrics.
To me, these words seem so sorrowful and full of regret but also hope. They read like a person writing a letter to a loved one who had passed away; so I thought of the English lyrics the same way, like a prayer or a letter to someone who will never be able to respond.
I hope they came out well because I really do feel a connection with this song and it's themes of loss and hope.
