Hoshizora (星空)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

Tired faces, a sleepy departure from the lined-up cages

I return to that place which called for me with a desolate reputation

If there’s a god that tossed me away, would there be a god to pick me up?

No matter how useless I am…

The flickering lights and gathered ocean

Will surely illuminate the dirtied gloom

The dream you whispered as you were injured

Is still gasping out breaths inside of me

Looking at the starry night sky, I wish an eternal prayer

Streaming clouds, a little while after joining their shapes

Even as they’re swept away, this body is already one completely different

Faced with those who abuse, could I call for freedom

Inside that world found within my heart?

While my faded scars throb late in the night,

I offer up a prayer for someone else’s sake

To you, my small self

May be nothing but powerless, but

Looking at the starry night sky, I wish an eternal prayer

No matter how many times we collapse, we simply have to stand up again and again

If we’ve become exhausted, then we will no longer be breathing

So don’t give up on yourself

If there’s a god that tossed me away, would there be a god to pick me up?

No matter how useless I am…

The flickering lights and gathered ocean

Will surely illuminate the dirtied gloom

The dream you whispered as you were injured

Is still gasping out breaths inside of me

While my faded scars throb late in the night,

I offer up a prayer for someone else’s sake

To you, my small self

May be nothing but powerless, but

If it could bring someone happiness as well,

Looking at the starry night sky, I wish an eternal prayer

Kanji:

疲れた顔　並んだ籠の　眠るいとま

呼ばれたあの場所へ帰ろう　淋しみの名

 

捨てる神あれば　拾う神あろうか

どんなに碌でもない奴でも

 

瞬いた灯りが　集まった海が

穢れの暗闇を　照らすだろう

傷ついた君が　囁いた夢は

今も僕の中で　息衝いてるよ

星空　見て想う　永久の願い

 

流るゝ雲　少し先の　交わる姿

流されても　この身はもう　違う身体

 

振り回す奴なら　自由を呼ぼうか

心の中にある世界を

 

消し去った痕が　疼く夜更けは

誰かの為に　祈りを捧げよう

小さな僕は　君にとっては

無力でしかないかもしれないけど

星空　見て想う　永久の願い

 

倒れ込んでも　何度でも　立ち上がればいい

くたばるなら　もう　息はしていないはず

自分を棄てないで

 

捨てる神あれば　拾う神あろうか

どんなに碌でもない奴でも

 

瞬いた灯りが　集まった海が

穢れの暗闇を　照らすだろう

傷ついた君が　囁いた夢は

今も僕の中で　息衝いてるよ

 

消し去った痕が　疼く夜更けは

誰かの為に　祈りを捧げよう

小さな僕は　君にとっては

無力でしかないかもしれないけど

誰もが幸福なら

星空　見て想う　永久の願い
