English Translation 


With the feeling that something new was about to start up
We looked up at the huge wall in front of us so many times
            
The place I'm standing at right now
And the path I'm walking
Are they connected to the future we drew for ourselves?
The more we chase this dream, the bigger it seems
The day when we will take it in these small hands
Will it ever come?

Does shedding tears mean I will find happiness?
If that's true then let's go on believing a little longer

The warmth in my chest isn't losing to the cold rain
I'm at the edge of the world, but that's proof that I'm alive
Our destiny always seems to be lying on the other side of sadness
I'll go searching for the answer to that again today
Around the center of the world

Like I've forgotten something, I keep repeating the same old days
I'd even lost sight of what I've been searching for
"Are you going to let it end here?"
I was about to run away, but I fought with myself
Believing that something should change if I struggled some more
Can I get over that hesitation and keep on going 'til the end of it?
I'll be fine
Because we've already made it this far

The warmth in my chest isn't losing to the cold rain
I'm at the edge of the world, but that's proof that I'm alive
Somehow, our determination is always born out of regret
It gives us the power to turn the miracle we'd lost sight of real again

We may not know when to give up
And we're not sure what we're capable of
"But an opportunity almost too good to be true will come falling down"
They said that was being blind to the truth and we were called "dreamers"
Despite that, we looked up at the sky

The warmth in my chest isn't losing to the cold rain
I'm at the edge of the world, but that's proof that I'm alive
Our destiny always seems to be lying on the other side of sadness
I'll go searching for the answer to that again today
Around the center of the world

And I've got a feeling something new is going to start up


Japanese
 

新しい何かが また始まる予感
目の前の高い壁 何度も 
見上げた

今、自分の立っている場所が
そして歩いてく道が
僕らの描いた未来へつながっているのかな?
夢を追いかけるほどに大きく見えてきて
いつかつかめる日が来るのか?
小さなこの手で

流してきた涙の分 幸せになるの?
本当ならもう少し 信じてみよう

冷たい雨に負けていないこの胸の温もりが
今 世界の端っこで生きてる証
僕らの運命はいつだって 悲しみの先にあって
その答えを探して 今日も歩いていく
世界の真ん中を

まるで何か忘れたかのように
同じ毎日繰り返して
探してたものが何のかさえ分からなくなってた
でもこんなとこで終わられるかって
逃げそうな自分と戦って
手探りもがいていれば
何か変わるはずだと信じて

この迷いを乗り越えて 辿りつけるかな
大丈夫さ ここまで来れたんだから

冷たい雨に負けていないこの胸の温もりが
今 世界の端っこで生きてる証
僕らの情熱はどうしたって 悔しさから生まれるんだ
見失いそうな奇跡 リアルに変えていく 力を

諦めの悪いほど 身の丈を知らないほど
うそみたいなチャンスが 舞い降りてくるんだ
きれいごとと言われて 夢見がちと呼ばれて
それでも僕らは 空を見上げた

冷たい雨に負けていないこの胸の温もりが
今 世界の端っこで生きてる証
僕らの運命はいつだって 悲しみの先にあって
その答えを探して 今日も歩いていく
世界の真ん中を

新しい何かが また始まる予感

T/N: In Japanese you don't have to have a subject in a sentence, which can make songs in particular really vague as to who is being spoken about. That was annoying to translate here. I ended up going for 'we', since that was said a couple of times. But I think I might have been influenced in that respect by the PV as well, because I kept hitting parts that felt a bit strange with 'we', and ended up having to change them to 'I'. Hope the song still makes sense... I'll stop complaining now. Anyway, told you I'd do a fast one this time!

English Translation


After one teardrop and one word of courage
The time when my wish is granted will come
Because I believe that
You're not giving up either
No matter how many times, I'll reach out my hands to that sky

It was a summer just like this that day
The wind was blowing sand along with it
And the evening sun above the (sports) field was blinding
I could go on forever    I bit my lip hard
That's when I met you, with the same look in your eyes
"The reason dreams seem to shine so brightly is precisely because they aren't easy to obtain"
Even now, I hold on to what you told me that day in my heart

After one teardrop and one word of courage 
The time when my wish is granted will come
Because I believe that
You're not giving up either
No matter how many times, I'll reach out my hands to that sky
To that sky

Never being honest to myself no matter what
It was like I had no confidence at all
Sneaking around the back of the school
Worrying about somebody seeing
Keeping the idea of bumping into someone somewhere in my heart
That was because I was just scared of showing my true self

The days I've spent with you all this time taught me that.
Yes; I was able to say it out loud for the first time - that dream I wanted so bad I could cry

After one rugged road
And one more night
If you can make it through, the day when you can smile again will come
Because I still believe that
You're not giving up either
No matter how many times, I'll reach out my hands to that sky

"It's hopeless no matter how hard you try"
I'm sick of hearing those words
Even if they were true,
If I were to call unstoppable feeling "hope"
I don't think anybody could hold me back!

After one teardrop and one word of courage change tomorrow...
I've seen it happen.
You made me remember the light that had gone missing
The scenery that day
I'll never forget it

After one teardrop and one word of courage 
The time when my wish is granted will come
Because I believe that
You're not giving up either
No matter how many times, I'll reach out my hands to that sky
To that sky
 

Japanese


あと一粒の涙で 一言の勇気で 願いがかなう その時が来るって
僕は信じてるから 君も諦めないでいて
何度でも この両手を あの空へ

あの日もこんな夏だった 砂まじりの風が吹いてた
グランドの真上の空 夕日がまぶしくて
どこまで頑張ればいいんだ ぎゅっと唇を噛みしめた
そんな時 同じ目をした君に出会ったんだ

そう 簡単じゃないからこそ 夢はこんなに輝くんだと
そう あの日の君の言葉 今でも胸に抱きしめてるよ

あと一粒の涙で 一言の勇気で 願いがかなう その時が来るって 
僕は信じてるから 君も諦めないでいて
何度でも この両手を あの空へ のばして あの空へ

いつもどうしても素直になれずに 自信なんてまるで持てずに
校舎の裏側 人目を気にして歩いてた
誰かとぶつかり合うことを心のどこかで遠ざけた
それは本当の自分を見せるのが怖いだけだった

教えてくれたのは 君と過ごした今日までの日々
そう 初めて口に出来た 泣きたいくらいの本当の夢を

あとひとつの坂道を ひとつだけの夜を
越えられたなら 笑える日が来るって
僕は信じてるから 君も諦めないでいて
何度でも この両手を あの空へ

あつくなっても無駄なんて言葉 聞き飽きたよ もしもそうだとしても
抑えきれないこの気持ちを 希望と呼ぶなら
いったい誰が止められると言うのだろう

あと一粒の涙が 一言の勇気が 明日を変えるその時を見たんだ
なくしかけた光 君が思い出させてくれた
あの日の景色 忘れない

あと一粒の涙で 一言の勇気で 願いがかなう その時が来るって
僕は信じてるから 君も諦めないでいて
何度でも この両手を あの空へ のばして あの空へ

T/N - This one is a bit slower than usual, which meant it was slightly easier to translate (not that there weren't bits that threw me completely) and it's more singable!  I think I'll try out a faster song next ;) Koi no katamichi kippu, anyone?

Silent Night, Holy Night (many times)


English Translation

I'm Santa Claus, always watching over you from above the night sky
Silent Night, Holy Night (x2)

By the cake shop we often went together
That's where I found you again
How many times has it been this year?  The clothes are the same as always
Red coat, fur lining, everything the same as that day
And next to you... a new lover
By the end of December last year, you were still crying
I was terrible to you - suddenly not being there like that
The shining Orion constellation
You swallowed your tears
Over in that world, you were sketching happiness for yourself

I'm Santa Claus, always watching over you from above the night sky
To you, who I loved, and your boyfriend, who you love,
I give pure white snow as a present
So you can get closer together
Having forgotten about me now,
You hold on tight to this moment's happiness

As if it's celebrating you two, the streets sparkle with illuminations
And the couples passing you in the street increase your motivation
The holy night that only happens once a year
A night when silence passes through the streets
I searched for your shape beneath a sky that looked like it was about to snow
Quite some time has passed since we parted, but are you doing okay?
Every day must have been really difficult after I suddenly stopped being able to be with you
You asked God for snow to make up for the feelings He'd forced on you
And now you get that present, to you and your new boyfriend

I'm Santa Claus, always watching over you from above the night sky
To you, who I loved, and your boyfriend, who you love,
I give pure white snow as a present
So you can get closer together
Having forgotten about me now,
You hold on tight to this moment's happiness

It's Christmas tonight, sparkling crystal
You don't look back
Even though we're supposedly too far apart
You unexpectedly looked up at the sky,  and I felt like our eyes met for a moment

I'm Santa Claus, from heaven, always praying that the number of smiles you make will reach the number of tears you've shed
I've given you pure white snow as a present
I'm a little lonely, but on Christmas next year I'll watch over you from afar again

Silent Night, Holy Night (many times)

 
Japanese

僕はサンタクロース 夜空の上から いつだって見守っているよ

Silent Night, Holy Night (x2)

二人でよく通ったケーキ屋 そこで君をまた発見した
今年でもう何回目? いつまでもファッションは変わんないね
赤いコート 毛糸のニット 全部があの日と一緒
そして君の隣にも 新しい恋人
去年の12月末 君はまだ泣いていたんだ
夜空には輝くオリオン座 もう涙も飲み込んだ
君はそっちの世界で 自分の幸せを描いて

僕はサンタクロース 夜空の上から いつだって見守ってる
僕が大好きだった君と 君が大好きなカレのために
真っ白な雪をプレゼント
二人が寄り添えるように 僕の事はもう忘れて
君は今の幸せを抱きしめて

二人を祝うかのように 輝く街のイルミネーション
道をすれ違うカップル達は 上がってるモチベーション
一年に一度聖なる夜 街に流れるきよしこの夜
降り出しそうな夜空の下 君の姿を探したんだ
あれから君と別れて随分経つけど元気でやってるかい?
突然君の前からいなくなって毎日すごく辛い
思いをさせたお返しに 神に頼んだ白い雪
今は幸せそうな君と 今の彼氏にプレゼント

僕はサンタクロース 夜空の上から いつだって見守ってる
僕が大好きだった君と 君が大好きなカレのために
真っ白な雪をプレゼント
二人が寄り添えるように 僕の事はもう忘れて
君は今の幸せを抱きしめて

Silent Night, Holy Night (x4)
今宵はクリスマス きらめくクリスタル
君は振り向かず 通り過ぎるはずだったのに
ふいに空を見上げた
一瞬目と目があった気がした

僕はサンタクロース 天国の方から いつだって祈っているよ
君からこぼれた涙の 数だけ笑顔が訪れるように
真っ白な雪をプレゼント
ちょっとだけ寂しいけれど また来年のクリスマスも
遠くから君を見守っているよ

Silent Night, Holy Night

T/N: Very unseasonal (since it's August at the moment), but I translated it anyway, since it's catchy. There were a few bits relating to distance between the two that I couldn't put into English well, which frustrates me, but oh well.
This is my first post :D I was planning to leave it for a while and publish a whole chunk of them at once, but the front page seemed kind of lonely, so I went ahead and uploaded one :)
