Darker Than Black 2 OP Lyrics Translation

ツキアカリのミチシルベ / Moon Be My Guiding Light
Vocal: ステレオポニー / Stereopony
Lyrics & Music: AIMI

答えのない毎日が ただ過ぎてゆく時間が これから先どうなるのだろう？ わからない… 闇よりも深い夜の孤独に 惑わされてた だれかに今気づいてほしい… ここから逃げ出したいから 窓から見える朝焼け 部屋に鳴り響く音 アラームに起こされて 薄暗い中　家飛び出すよ カバンの中には 何も変わらない平凡詰め込んで そしていつもの場所へ だれかが言った言葉が 気になって　惑わされて 争いたくなんてないから 何も言えない 夢や理想はあるけれど 気持ちばかり先に行って 現実がずっと後ろから ボクを見てる ねぇだれか教えて みんなそうなのかな？ 今日が幸せなら それでいいと思えるって 幼いころには 確かにあったよ 夢を追いかけてた でもそれも遠い記憶 答えのない毎日が ただ過ぎていく時間が これから先どうなるのだろう？ わからない… ツキアカリのミチシルベ 雲を越えボクに届け 進むべき道を照らしてよ 今日がどんなに壊れそうでも 何があっても 何があっても 信じてたいから あの日の遠い記憶　呼び覚ますから 忘れないでね　胸に刻みつけ 答えは自分の中に 必ずあるものだから あきらめないで 強く生きることをやめないで 悲しすぎて　前に進めない時でも 共に悩み歩んだぼくらに 風は吹く どこまででも

Faced with the unknowns day after day Watch as the time fleets away This path ahead of me, what could it possibly hold? I wouldn’t know… Faced with the nights darker than black Loneliness instills my heart with unease If only someone could hear my crying voice And take me away from this place, break me free Morning glow flows over the windowsill A chime soon resounds in the room Waked up by the alarm sound I step outside, into the gloomy world With a bag on my back Filled only with the usual, the ordinary Heading along the same old way Though once I was quite troubled By the words someone had said Too afraid to speak my own mind I only kept quiet Though once I had hopes and dreams What’s the point of dwelling on them Reality would only stand far behind And coldly watch on Can someone please tell me If everyone is the same? Satisfied with the here and now Never thinking about the days ahead Sure there were times In my younger years Spent chasing hopes and dreams But those are all memories far away Faced with the unknowns day after day Watch as the time fleets away This path ahead of me, what could it possibly hold? I wouldn’t know… May the moon be my guiding light Part away the clouds, come to my side Show me the way through the darkest of night No matter how much the day’s been filled with plight Whatever the future may hold Whatever the future may hold I’ll keep on believing Summon up those faraway memories of the day long past Engrave them into my heart, never to be forgotten Look into your own heart and you will see There lies the answer we each seek So don’t give up Hold firm to the strength to live on Even if at times the pain may chain you to the ground Even if we grow weary of the road Against the howling wind Wherever we may go

Bakemonogatari Ending Lyrics Translation

君の知らない物語 / A Story You Do Not Know
Vocal: supercell
Lyrics/Music: ryo

That was just an ordinary day
When you stood up suddenly and began to say
“Why don’t we go see the stars tonight”
“You do say something good once a while”
We all agreed while teasing about
Walking on that unlit road
I messed around like a silly girl
Hoping these uneasy and lonely feelings
Wouldn’t be too much to overwhelm me
Gazing at the starry canopy of the dark world
It was as if I can reach up and grab hold
I wonder since when had it been like so
You’d become the star I was looking for
Oh would you please
Don’t be so surprised when I tell you
These feelings that I hold
“Deneb, Hikoboshi, and Orihime”
You pointed out the summer triangle for us to see
I memorized while staring at the sky
Hikoboshi was still hiding from me
Trying hard, I only found Orihime
She must be feeling lonely like me
Right by my side, you were pointing at the sky happily
Yet these feelings I had, stayed within me
I had been learning everything about you
From many, many people
Now that finally we met
My words wouldn’t come out
Instead I could only remind myself
Not to let my tears out
Trying hard yet I was still feeling afraid
While pretending not to be interested in what you say
But still
My heart began to pain more and more
Ah, I see, this must be
What it feels like to be in love
If only you’d come comfort me
But you couldn’t hear my inner cries
If only you’d come closer to me
But reality was as cruel as it can be
So I didn’t say it
So I couldn’t say it
That night, never to come back
On that summer night
Stars lit up the whole sky
Even now, I remember it clearly
Be it your smile
Be it your frown
I loved them all
How silly it all was
That you never found out
These feelings I possessed
Became a secret of mine
Beyond the dark nights
Inside my memory, there you are
With a pure smile,
Still pointing up to the sky

No, we aren’t going to sub Bakemonogatari.  I just like the song.  More walls of lyrics to follow~

Cross Game Ending 4 Full Lyrics Translation

リハーサル (Rehearsal)
Vocal/Lyrics/Music: 近藤夏子 (Kondo Natsuko)

『本気でスキな人とはなかなか結ばれない』
君が言ったセリフに『うん。うん。』って頷く
あたしの本気は君で　君の本気はあの子だね
『頑張ろなッ』って言われても
どうすればいいのよ　教えてよ
君振り向かす方法
スキだ　スキだ　スキだ　言って
あたしに向かって言ってみて
リハーサルだって思ったらいい
キスも腕枕もギュッも全部
あたしで試してみたらいいんじゃない??
そのまま本気になっちゃえばいいのに

“The one you love rarely loves you back”
To your words, I could only nod “right, right”
My heart is all yours, yet yours is with her
“Let’s do our best”, you said
But what should I do, tell me
A way to get you to notice me
Tell me you love me, love me, love me
Look into my eyes and tell me
Even if you think it’s just a rehearsal
Kisses, arm pillows, hugs, everything
Won’t you try them all with me??
And just like that, fall in love with me

『どんなにスキでいたって叶わない恋もある』
君が言ったセリフに首横に振っている
『あたしは諦めないよ　君も諦めちゃだめだよ』
『ありがとなッ』て言われたら
どうすればいいのか　わかんない
君と一緒にいる方法
スキだ　スキだ　スキだ　言って
あたしに向かって言ってみて
リハーサルだって思ったらいい
デートコースにプレゼント下見
あたしでよければ付き合ってあげる
このままカップル成立でいいのに

“Some love won’t come true no matter how hard you try”
To your words, I could only shake my head
“I’m not going to give up, and you can’t give up just like that”
“Thanks for that”, you said
But what should I do, I’ve no clue
A way to keep you by my side
Tell me you love me, love me, love me
Look into my eyes and tell me
Even if you think it’s just a rehearsal
Checking out presents for a date?
If you want I can go out with you
And just like this, we’d become a couple

スキだ　スキだ　スキだ　言って
あたしに向かって言ってみて
リハーサルだって思ったらいい
スキだ　スキだ　スキだ　言ってる
あたしに向かって言っている
リハーサルだってわかってても
キスも腕枕もギュッも全部
あたしで試してみたらいいんじゃない??
そのまま本気になっちゃえばいいのに
このまま本気になっちゃえばいいのに

Tell me you love me, love me, love me
Look into my eyes and tell me
Even if you think it’s just a rehearsal
You said you love me, love me, love me
Looked into my eyes and told me
Though to you it was just a rehearsal
Kisses, arm pillows, hugs too, everything
Won’t you try them all with me??
And just like that, fall in love with me
And just like this, fall in love with me

時を刻む唄 / A Song Engraved in Time

作词：麻枝准
作曲：麻枝准
演唱：Lia

Lyrics: Maeda Jun
Music: Maeda Jun
Vocal: Lia

落ちていく砂時計ばかり見てるよ
逆さまにすればほら　また始まるよ
刻んだだけ進む時間に
いつか僕も入れるかな

Watching blankly, as the sand sifts down the hourglass
If only turning it around could give me a second chance
Time ticking away heedlessly
Will I ever be able to move on?

君だけが過ぎ去った坂の途中は
暖かな日だまりがいくつもできてた
僕一人がここで優しい
暖かさを思い返してる

On this hillside road, where your silhouette faded away
A place bathed in sunlight, a place of fond memories,
Alone here I am, once again
Reminiscing the tender warmth of the past days

君だけを　君だけを
好きでいたよ
風で目が滲んで
遠くなるよ

You, only you
The love of my life
My tears scattering in the wind
As everything drifts away

いつまでも　覚えてる
なにもかも変わっても
ひとつだけ　ひとつだけ
ありふれたものだけど
見せてやる　輝きに満ちたそのひとつだけ
いつまでもいつまでも守っていく

I will remember, forever and ever
Even if everything were to alter
One thing, at least one thing
However ordinary it may appear
Will be the one, to fill the world with wonder
Forever and ever, it I shall treasure

肌寒い日が続くもう春なのに
目覚まし時計より早く起きた朝
三人分の朝御飯を作る君が
そこに立っている

A feeling of cold, yet spring had come
Waking up early one morning, before the alarm
Breakfast was being prepared for the three of us
And you were standing right there

君だけが　君だけが
そばにいないよ
昨日まですぐそばで
僕を見てたよ

But you, but you
You are no longer by my side
Just yesterday, you were right here
Watching over me, holding me dear

君だけを　君だけを
好きでいたよ
君だけど　君だけど
歌う唄だよ
僕たちの　僕たちの
刻んだ時だよ
片方だけ続くなんて
僕はいやだよ

Only you, only you
The love of my life
With you, only you
We sing this melody
The two of us, the two of us
Moments together, engraved in time
Left to walk the passage of time alone
How could I bear to go on

いつまでも　覚えてる
この町が変わっても
どれだけの悲しみと出会うことになっても
見せてやる　本当は強かった時のこと
さぁいくよ　歩き出す　坂の道を

I will remember, forever and ever
Even if the whole town were to alter
I will endure whatever sorrow that may come
I will show you I am truly strong
Come, let’s go, head on this hillside road
