So I have decided that I will post here my “attempts” of translation for some of my favorite Japanese music songs, feel free to correct me if you have any suggestion to make the translation more accurate.
For today, I bring the song “Star Tribal” by access from their 2012 album “Secret Cluster”, I plan on working with the translation of all the songs from this album, so I will be posting them here in both romaji and the English translation.
About this song, I think it has a beautiful mystical music composition, I felt completely absorbed by it the first time I listened to this song, like it my life force xD that’s how good it is, and the lyrics are very painful, I love it; I highly recommend it if you haven’t listened to it.
Music Composition: Daisuke Asakura
Lyrics: Hiroyuki Takami
Romaji:
Yume ni oborete akaku uzumaku yoru ni wa
Kimi no egao dake MOZAIKU ni kowarete yuku
SORA e ochite yuku aoku samayou senritsu
Nani wo te ni sureba asu ga michibikareru
Musubareteta kono ai wo kizutsuketa no wa boku dakara
Ima wa nanimo togamezu ni boku no orokasa dake ga
Hateshinaku suikomareru nidoto kaeranai sekai e
Wazuka ni nokoru saigo no chi no itteki wo
Tengoku ni mukete todoketai negai ga aru
Yugasu bokutachi ga shinjitsu no hate ni mukau
Yuugi erabinara kitto tachimukaeru
Never let you go mou mayowanai kimi wo yurasu yami no naka mo
Mune ga tomosu kagayaki ni inochi no yume moyashite
Kimi wo mata mitsukedasu yo sekai ga majiwaru toki made
Musubareteta kono ai wo kizutsuketa no wa boku dakara
Ima wa nanimo togamezu ni boku no orokasa dake ga
Hateshinaku suikomareru nidoto kaeranai sekai e
Never let you go mou mayowanai kimi wo yurasu yami no naka mo
Mune ga tomosu kagayaki ni inochi no yume moyashite
Kimi wo mata mitsukedasu yo sekai ga majiwaru toki made
English Translation:
In the crimson swirling evening drown into dreams
Just the mosaic of your smiling face is crumbling down
The sky is falling down, the blue melody that roams around
If you hold it with your hand, it will lead the way for tomorrow
Because I was the one who damaged this love we were tied into
Now without blaming nothing else, just my stupidity
Eternally absorbed into a world where I will never return to
The last drop of the blood that slightly remains
I wish to send it toward the heavens
The distorted us face the limits of the truth
If we choose courage, we can definitely stand up and fight
Never let you go, I won’t hesitate anymore, I will shake you even within the darkness
My heart turns on, the dream’s life force burns with radiance
I will continue finding you until the time comes when I have crossed the world
Because I was the one who damaged this love we were tied into
Now without blaming nothing else, just my stupidity
Eternally absorbed into a world where I will never return to
Never let you go, I won’t hesitate anymore, I will shake you even within the darkness
My heart turns on, the dream’s life force burns with radiance
I will continue finding you until the time comes when I have crossed the world
