flytotheworld | 48. translation: v6 - "chigireta tsubasa (broken wings)"

You guys. This song. This song. I almost cried when I first heard it. The lyrics in Japanese are so beautiful I kind of feel like a huge traitor translating them to English. I totally feel like I'm losing something; it just would not sound the same if you wrote this same song in English. I ju... ajfdsklflsjf I love Tonisen.

Anyway. I actually had this translated weeks ago but then I lost the paper on which I translated it. Whoops. So I redid it in ten minutes at the end of work today. There's one line still bothering me, so I might come fix it later. For now, anyway, enjoy!

出逢うはずのない遠い世界に
姿を変えて君がいたんだ

やっと見つけた　すぐにわかった
何故?　君は気づかないの?

ずっとずっと探してた　たった一人時を超えて
名もなき星達の伝説

翼はもういらない　天空の罪人
許されぬ願いを放てば
揺れる水面　沈んでく　銀の月

見上げてごらん　遥か彼方に
変わることのない愛があるんだ

僕はここから見守るだけの
深い哀しみ背負って　今

希望から絶望へと風向きに逆らえない
ちぎれた翼　君に届け

光さえ知らない　深海の恋人
飛び込んで想いを遂げよう
空と海に引き裂かれた誓いを…

魂のカケラ　次の世まで輝き続ける
絶え間ない痛み　果てない孤独
何も畏れない　迷わず堕ちてゆく
僕は君の元へ

奇跡などいらない　永遠の恋人
水平線さえぎる運命
昇る太陽　この翼燃やしても

空と海に引き裂かれた誓いを…

. translation .
I don't think I'll meet you in that far-off world
It all changed and there you were
I’ve finally figured it out and soon you’ll understand
Why? You haven’t realized?
Always and forever I’ve been searching
But the time has come for me alone
to become one of those nameless stars of legend

I no longer need my wings
I’m a traitor to the sky
I won't be forgiven when I fall
Shaking, the silver moon sinks into the water's surface

Look up, far into the distance
This love will never change
From here on out, all I’m carrying
is the profound sadness with which I’ve been burdened
Through the hope and into despair, I could not defy the wind
My broken wings, I now give to you

Even if there’s a bit of light, I just can’t believe
My lover at the bottom of the sea
I’ll dive down to you
For I swore to tear down the sky and the sea

The fragments of my soul will carry on into the next age
I’m through with neverending pain
and eternal solitude
There’s nothing to worry about
Without hesitation, I'll fall
right down to you

We’ve no need for miracles
My eternal love
If fate obstructs the horizon
Even if the rising sun burngs my wings

For I swore to tear down the sky and the sea
