Serenade Lyrics Translation (from “The Abyss”)
The lyrics poet asks, ‘Who am I now, unable to forgive myself?’ This line stands at the core of the story, highlighting the internal struggle of holding onto love that’s slipped away. The words describe a dance on a stage illuminated by darkness, symbolizing the confusion and regret that follow a broken relationship.
Tsugou no ii omoi o moyashiteI’ve burned away these convenient feelings,
Akireta negai wa mou tebanashitaand I’ve finally let go of those hopeless wishes.
Uragiri ya himitsu ga tadayoote koko kara ugokenaiBetrayals and secrets drift around me, leaving me frozen in place.
Umarete shimatta aruiwa kowarete shimattaSomething was born, or perhaps it just fell apart,
Ano hi ano basho deon that day, in that very spot.
Zutto tomatta mama de ita miraiThe future has remained at a complete standstill since then.
Soredemo kokoro no dokoka de kimi o kanjite itaYet, I still felt your presence somewhere deep within my heart.
Yurusenai ima no boku wa dareWho am I now, unable to forgive myself?
Nee zutto zutto soba ni itan daHey, I’ve always, always been right by your side.
Kanchigai da tte uso janai yoEven if it’s a misunderstanding, it isn’t a lie.
Nozonda mono janakutomoEven if it’s not what we wanted,
Anata ni deaeta itami dake gaonly the pain of having met you
Ai da tte shinjirareru you niallows me to believe that this is truly love.
Boku ni furenai dePlease, don’t touch me.
Inoru serenaadeI’m singing a prayer, a serenade.
Boku nashi de umaku shiawase ni natte neFind a way to be happy without me, alright?
Dare yori mo zutto nani o tebanashitemoNo matter what I have to let go of, more than anyone else,
Kore ga ai da tte shinjite ita batsu o kudasaiplease give me the punishment for believing this was love.
Dare demo nai anata anata dakeIt’s no one else but you, only you.
Sekai ga mada wasurete kurenakutomoEven if the world refuses to forget us just yet,
Kitto mada anata anata dakeit’s surely still you, only you.
Negai tsukarete mo utau yo serenaadeEven when I’m tired of wishing, I’ll keep singing this serenade.
Scenario doori no comedyA comedy following a set script.
Fukou jiman wa how manyHow many more will boast of their misfortunes?
Egoistic ni hikatta hitomi no naka ni utsutte iruReflected within those selfishly shining eyes,
Anata wa darewho exactly are you?
Kurayami ga hikaraseta butai no ue deOn this stage illuminated by the darkness,
Nani mo shirazu ni tada odotte iraretanara yokattaI wish I could’ve just kept dancing without knowing a thing.
Kibou mo fukou mo migatte daBoth hope and misery are equally selfish.
Bokura wa zen’in kyouhansha dattaWe were all accomplices in this together.
Utagau yochi mo nai hodoWithout a single shadow of a doubt,
Unmei ga sadamatta ano yoru karafrom the night our fates were sealed,
Boku wa aishikata o wasuretaI’ve forgotten how to love.
Kore dake negatte kore dake inotteAfter wishing this much and praying this hard,
Konna kanashii ketsumatsu de gomen neI’m so sorry for such a tragic ending.
Subete ushinatte subete kie sotte moEven if I lose everything and it all fades away,
Tada kimi ga zutto ikite ita itami ga hoshiiI just want the pain that proves you were always alive.
Ato nankai kazoetaraHow many more times must I count?
Ato nankai kizutsukebaHow many more times must I be hurt?
Ato nankai ushinaebaHow many more times must I lose?
Ato nankai kowaretaraHow many more times must I break?
Ato nankai kazoetaraHow many more times must I count?
Ato nankai kizutsukebaHow many more times must I be hurt?
Ato nankai ushinaebaHow many more times must I lose?
Kono omoi wa mitasaseruWill these feelings ever be satisfied?
Kore dake negatte kore dake inotteAfter wishing this much and praying this hard,
