Our Island Lyrics Translation (from “Fumotonokeshiki”)
Sora Ichikawa describes a longing for a mythical place called ‘our island.’ The narrator mentions a light, like a fire festival, calling out to them. One line reads, ‘Somewhere out there, there’s a place where time stands completely still,’ painting a picture of a timeless sanctuary.
Chi ga shitta toki karaEver since my blood realized it,
Mi wa motomedashitamy body started yearning for it.
Himatsuri no you na hikari ga sasotte itaA light, like a blazing fire festival, was calling out to me.
Fune no mukou de mita shinkirou saeEven the mirage we saw just beyond the ship,
Uso no kanata kara kita maboroshi saeand even the phantom arriving from beyond the lies,
Shirube o matou tegami to kizuketa naraif I could only see them as letters wearing the guise of a guide,
Hibana no saki de tori ni narouI’d turn into a bird just beyond those flying sparks.
Doko kaSomewhere out there,
Toki ga tomaru bashothere’s a place where time stands completely still,
Kesshite uenu sonoa garden where we’ll never have to starve,
Soshite ou ga horobu chi eand a land where even kings will face their ruin.
Soko wa wareware no shimaThat place is our sanctuary, our island.
Mabayui anata ni wa mieru hazu daSomeone as radiant as you should easily see it,
Ima aoi honoo no kiwaright here at the edge of this blue flame.
Doko kaSomewhere out there,
Hane o mederu bashothere’s a place where we can cherish our wings,
Hakari o suteta sonoa garden that has thrown away all its judgments,
Douka eien ni michiru chi eand a land that’s somehow brimming with eternity.
Chi ga shitta toki karaEver since my blood realized it,
Mi wa motomedashitamy body started yearning for it—
Himatsuri no you na hikari ga sasou shimathat island where a light like a fire festival calls to us.
Mabayui anata ni wa mieru hazu daSomeone as radiant as you should easily see it,
Ima aoi honoo no kiwaright here at the edge of this blue flame,
Sore ga koi dabecause that is what love truly is.
