Gunjou Shashin (群青写真)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

No matter how dark the night is, let’s quietly wait it out until the morning

To make sure we don’t miss hearing the bell that will surely ring

 

In the direction of the ultramarine photograph I’d searched for back then

Lay painful things as well, but that was my most beloved desire

 

Go down the path that belongs solely to you: your future is shining

Create your dreams and hopes, so that you don’t hesitate any longer

Sing a song that suits you and you alone, and it’ll even reach outer space

Just keep looking forward, because we can become anything we want to be

 

Let’s accept the outside circumstances as they are

In order to rightfully discern the truth behind everything there is

 

In my heart I placed the sorrows I bore back then

The tears I held back, all of them become my experience

 

Go down the path that belongs solely to you: your future is shining

Create your dreams and hopes, so that you don’t hesitate any longer

Sing a song that suits you and you alone, and it’ll even reach outer space

Just keep looking forward, because we can become anything we want to be

 

The heart’s sounds will control all that you see

If you try to make it connect to the starry sky, you’ll surely see it

Any action contains a consciousness upon a higher plane

That’s where it connects to

 

All of the things in the world that obstruct you are connected

You and I have come to learn of love from the same place

Differences exist only on the exterior as nothing more than fabrications

Let us continue warming up the tranquility within ourselves

 

Go down the path that belongs solely to you: your future is shining

Create your dreams and hopes, so that you don’t hesitate any longer

Sing a song that suits you and you alone, and it’ll even reach outer space

Just keep looking forward, because we can become anything we want to be

Kanji:

 

どんな暗い夜でも　静かに朝を待とう

必ず鳴る鐘を　聞き逃さないように

 

あの頃探していた群青写真の方に

苦しいこともある　それが本望だ

 

君だけの道を行こう　未来は輝いてるよ

夢と希望を描こう　もう迷わないように

君らしい歌を歌おう　宇宙にさえ届くよ

ただ前だけを見ていよう

僕らは何にだってなれるはずだよ

 

外側の風景を　そのまま受け入れよう

物事の道理を　正しく悟るように

 

あの頃堪えていた悲しみを胸に

飲み込んだ涙は　全部が経験だ

 

君だけの道を行こう　未来は輝いてるよ

夢と希望を描こう　もう迷わないように

君らしい歌を歌おう　宇宙にさえ届くよ

ただ前だけを見ていよう

僕らは何にだってなれるはずだよ

 

心の音が見るものを制するよ

星空へも繋がろうとすれば見えるよ

何をするにも　高次の意識を持っているんだよ

そこへ繋がるんだ

 

世界を隔てるもの　全ては繋がってるよ

君と僕も　同じ場所から学びにきた愛

違いは表面のこと　幻想でしかないよ

内側の安らぎを　温め続けていよう

 

君だけの道を行こう　未来は輝いてるよ

夢と希望を描こう　もう迷わないように

君らしい歌を歌おう　宇宙にさえ届くよ

ただ前だけを見ていよう

僕らは何にだってなれるはずだよ
