Shirogarasu Lyrics Translation – Nowlu
Nowlu describes a journey of overcoming doubt and finding clarity, as seen in the line, ‘If I spread my wings, the view becomes clear.’ The musician uses imagery of soaring through a muddied sky to show the struggle of pushing past limitations. Each verse builds on the idea of reclaiming control and moving beyond external judgments.
Togaraseta madoi no saihate niAt the far edge of this sharpened doubt,
Nurikaete nozomu iromi sugata nirepainting the form I wished to see.
Torawarete medete kainarasaretaCaptured, admired, and thoroughly tamed
Anata to chigau mono deby something different from you.
Matataite naite jibun dake o mikata ni shiteI blink and cry, making myself my only ally.
Tsubasa hirogetara mietekuruIf I spread my wings, the view becomes clear,
Kaze ga michibiku mama kaji o kittesteering the helm exactly as the wind guides me.
Nigoru sora o kirisaiteI’ll tear through the muddied sky,
Takaku todokanai tokoro madesoaring high to a place beyond reach.
Itsuka no ame mo jimen hanete odoru waEven the rain from back then bounces off the ground and dances;
Ubaenai deshoyou can’t steal this away, can you?
Yuruganu manazashi sadameta ano hi niNot since that day I fixed my unwavering gaze upon it.
Tenazuketa zetsubou no iro kakushiteI hide the color of the despair I’ve tamed,
Saguriattemo kirei na mono nado naibut probing for depth reveals nothing beautiful here.
Nigenaide nante kobihetsurawanaideDon’t tell me “don’t run,” and don’t try to flatter me;
Karete wa ikenai deshowe can’t let this wither away, right?
Kikiwakete toite anata dake wa tadoritsuiteListen well and resolve it—you alone must arrive there.
Hane o yasumetara ieteikuIf I rest my wings, the wounds will heal,
Shigamitsuku koto nado dokoka e sutetecasting away the need to cling to anything.
Yugamu koe o hibikaseteLetting my distorted voice resound
Yami mo todokanai tokoro madeto a place where even the darkness can’t touch.
Mazariau no ni shirokuro tsuketagaru noThings blend together, yet you still want to judge them black and white;
Niawanai deshothat really doesn’t suit you, does it?
Nigoru sora o kirisaiteI’ll tear through the muddied sky,
Takaku todokanai tokoro madesoaring high to a place beyond reach.
Itsuka no ame mo jimen hanete odoru waEven the rain from back then bounces off the ground and dances;
Ubaenai deshoyou can’t steal this away, can you?
Yuruganu manazashi sadameta ano hi niNot since that day I fixed my unwavering gaze upon it.
