nebulancer | Uta (謌)

English translation:

My flowers, my dreams,

My thousands of days

Become my song

Echo out

My trembling heart is bewildered by the pain from

The days I’ve patiently endured, yet I continue to live

I will bloom flowers upon this path which continues to tomorrow

Within this endless dream that my voice has shown to me

I soar up and pierce the skies

Letting a thunderous roar ring out

Even if I am within the darkness

My ringing voice shines

Continuing to illuminate

The many, many hopes I have

That melody strongly and beautifully etched into my mind, which I hear even now

Goes beyond time, a sound that shall never fade in color

It becomes my song and echoes out

The months and years I’ve accumulated spread their reach

My ambition assures me that I’ve made no mistake

If I were to bloom flowers upon this path that I’ve certainly walked

I will continue to raise my voice and parch my throat

A storm of tinted cherry blossoms is scattered out

Shadowing what I see in front of me

And on the other side, after it has ended

A dancing figure radiates light

Elation and dripping tears

Glimmer underneath the shine

If someone were to say that such things are more precious than anything else,

Then all I must do is continue living, believing in that

Time will pass, and until the very moment this life comes to an end

It will never, ever disappear

“You’ve come this far, but does that mean anything?”

The more I hear these words again and again,

The more I feel as if I wish to turn my back to the darkness

Which casts a shadow on my gaze

Even if I’m likened to nothing more than a candle in the flame

If I look at my footsteps,

I will certainly hear the sound

Of the ground I’ve walked on with my feet there

It will all echo out alongside my song

I soar up and pierce the skies

Letting a thunderous roar ring out

Even if I am within the darkness

My ringing voice shines,

Continuing to illuminate

The many, many hopes I have

That melody strongly and beautifully etched into my mind, which I hear even now

Goes beyond time, a sound that shall never fade in color

It becomes my song and echoes out

My flowers, my dreams,

My thousands of days

Become my song

Echo out

Kanji:

花よ夢よ

幾千の日よ

謌となりて

響け

震える心

耐え忍んだ日々の

辛さに惑う

それでも生きよう

明日に続いている

この路に花を咲かそう

聲が見せた夢の

果て無き中で

舞い上がれ空を裂き

轟音を鳴らせ

闇の中でさえも

鳴る聲は輝いて

照らし続けていく

数多にある祈望

今も尚聴こえている

強く美しく刻まれた旋律は

時を越え続いていく

決して色褪せぬ音で

謌となりて響け

積み上げてきた

年月は広がる

間違いは無いと

志が言う

確かに歩いてきた

この路に花が咲くのならば

声を上げて

喉を枯らし続けよう

色付いて花乱吹け

目の前を翳す

明けた向こう側の

立ち姿光射す

その下煌めく

歓びと泪は

何よりも尊いと

誰かが言うなら

信じて生きればいい

時が経ってこの命

尽き果てるその時まで

消える事は無いから

「此処まで歩いた事に

意味はあったのか？」と

幾度と訊く程

目の前を覆いつくす

闇に背を向けてしまいそうになる

風前の灯の様に思えても

足元を見れば

その足で踏みしめた

土の音がするだろう

すべて謌と響け
