Update (30 September 2023): Correction to stanza 2. Additional correction to the last stanza – thanks Vengeance!

This translation is based on a romanised form of the lyrics that appeared in a YouTube comment. I went through and tidied them up where I could and while this isn’t perfect, I think it’s much better than what we had before. It’s enough to get a general idea of the song, which is why I decided to go ahead and post it.

Please let me know if you have a copy of the original lyrics and I’ll update the translation! For now, please consider this unofficial and please don’t repost until I finalise it.


歌詞(耳コピ)

あなたを信じてずっと
歩いてた通り追いけど
ああ、今光がほら満ちてゆくから
この場所から始めようよ
何も恐くないよ そう思てたの
ふたりで生きて行きたいから

ふたり闇の中 すべて閉ざしてた
声が届かない世界
小さくなる私の背中
このまま終わると思ってた

私を照らす光はきっと あなたでさあ
でも素顔で向けていたいよ
今、救いを求めるなら
すべて包み込むよ 抱きしめたいよ
いつから光になれるかな

信じてずっと
歩いてた通り追いけど
ああ、今光がほら満ちてゆくから
この場所から始めようよ
何も恐くないよ そう思てたの
世界に光が溢れ出す

Romanisation

anata o shinjite zutto
aruiteta doori tsui kedo
aa ima hikari ga hora michite yuku kara
kono basho kara hajimeyou yo
nani mo kowakunai yo sou omoteta no
futari de ikite yukitai kara

futari yami no naka subete tozashiteta
koe ga todokanai sekai
chiisaku naru watashi no senaka
kono mama owaru to omotteta

watashi o terasu hikari wa kitto anata de saa
demo sunagao de muketeitai yo
ima sukui o motomeru nara
subete tsusumikomu yo dakishimetai yo
itsu kara hikari ni nareru kana

anata o shinjite zutto
aruiteta doori tsui kedo
aa ima hikari ga hora michite yuku kara
kono basho kara hajimeyou yo
nani mo kowakunai yo sou omoteta no
sekai ni hikari ga afuredasu

Translation

I’ll believe in you forever.
I follow the paths we walked
but, ah, light is overflowing
so let’s start from right here.
I’m not scared of anything, or so I thought
because I want to live together with you.

Together in the darkness, we shut everything away.
In this world, my voice won’t reach you
and I thought things would end like this
with me going further and further away.

You are the light illuminating me
and yet I want to face you honestly.
If you seek salvation
then I’ll wrap you up in my embrace. I want to hug you.
When will it turn to light?

I’ll believe, forever.
I follow the paths we walked
but, ah, light is overflowing
so let’s start from right here.
I’m not scared of anything, or so I thought.
Light flows forth upon the world.

    Thanks, i’m glad you could tidy up the lyrics! It sounds pretty interesting and fitting for a Cosmic Mind arrange. With Byakuren in mind, do the lyrics perhaps refer to her being sealed away? And perhaps refer to her brother or one of the UFO crew? Also, I noticed the line あなたを信じてずっと (anata o shinjite zutto – I’ll believe in you forever.) in the last verse, though I’m having trouble recognizing it in the song? Or is it just me? Or is it maybe an alternative version of the line above it?

    Thanks for the translation and tidying up the lyrics that are currently available, if I find the original lyrics i’ll make sure to post them!

      You’re welcome! I really like the vibe of this song, so I enjoyed listening to it more closely to tidy up the lyrics. I agree that the lyrics are probably referring to her being sealed away. I feel like the start is referring to her brother, who has passed away (‘In this world, my voice won’t reach you’) and then it might shift to the UFO crew being the ones who ‘seek salvation’.

      I listened to the song again and yes, you’re right – the final stanza starts with 信じてずっと instead of あなたを信じてずっと. I must have kept the 信じてずっと as a reminder to replace the start of that part, but I didn’t do it. Whoops (^_^); it’s all fixed now, and I even noticed another correction while I was at it!
