Yoake no uta Lyrics Translation – Jo0Ji
jo0ji sings a plea to extinguish the lingering light, a wish for release. He also sings that despite the emptiness, the desire to stay with the lost one remains.
Tsunari Yuku Hibi Ni Shozai Nai Kage GaIn the piling days, a shadow with nowhere to go,
Hitotsu Rourou Ete IruWanders all alone.
Sore Wa Marude Yurushi Wo Kou You De NasakenaiIt looks so pathetic, as if it’s begging for forgiveness.
Maita Tane Ga Saki HajimeruThe seeds I’ve sown start to bloom.
Anata Ga Tsumetaku Natte IkuYou’re growing cold.
Nobashita Te No Hira Ga Sora Wo KiruMy outstretched palm only cuts through the empty air.
Moto Doori Ni Wa Narimasen KaCan’t things just go back to the way they were?
Oshiyoseru Nami Ni Nomarete IkuThe surging waves swallow me whole.
Mirai Wo Kowashi Nagara SusumuI move forward while destroying the future.
Owari Wa Kuru No Deshou KaI wonder if the end will ever come?
Moshi Boku Ga Kudakarete HikisakareteEven if life shatters me and tears me apart,
Muyou Ni Chirou Tomo Nanimo KowakunaiI’m not afraid to scatter away into nothing.
Datte Tou Ni Mou Karappo Dakara SaBecause I’ve been empty for a long time now.
Aa Owari Ni Wa Kitto KanarazuAh, when the end comes, please be sure,
Kono Akari Wo Keshite Kure YoTo extinguish this light for me.
Mou Nanimo HoshikunaiI don’t want anything anymore,
Mata Ushinausu No Ga Kowai KaraBecause I’m afraid of losing things again.
Anata Wo Nakushite KaraEver since I lost you,
Sekai Wa Kurai Nyuusu BakariThe world’s been full of nothing but dark news.
Nani Wo Shiyou Tomo Kanashimi Wa TomedonaiNo matter what I do, the sadness won’t stop.
Mata Itsuka Aemasu KaWill we meet again someday?
Okuri Mo Sezu Ni Boku Wa NegauWithout even seeing you off, I just keep hoping.
Dorehodo Omoi Tsumete Mo Harenai Koukai GaRegret seeps into my palms,
Te No Hira Ni Nijinde IkuRefusing to clear no matter how much I brood.
Moshi Boku Ga Kudakarete HikisakareteEven if life shatters me and tears me apart,
Muyou Ni Chirou Tomo Nanimo KowakunaiI’m not afraid to scatter away into nothing.
Hazu Na No Ni Furue Ga TomaranaiThat’s how it should be, yet I can’t stop trembling.
Mada Boku Wa Koko Ni Itai Kimi To ItaiI still want to be here, I want to be with you.
Ushinakuse Wa Shinai Mono Ga AruThere are things I just can’t lose.
Takusan AruThere are so many of them.
Dakara Mada Okenai No SaThat’s why I can’t let go yet,
Hoka No Dareka Ga Nozonde Inaku TomoEven if nobody else wants me to.
Moshi Boku Ga Kudakarete HikisakareteEven if life shatters me and tears me apart,
Muyou Ni Chirou Tomo Nanimo KowakunaiI’m not afraid to scatter away into nothing.
Datte Tonari Ni Wa Kimi Ga Iru Itsu No Hi MoBecause you’re right there beside me, every single day.
Aa Owaru Made Sono Toki MadeAh, until it ends, until that moment comes,
Boku Wa OitsuzukeruI’ll keep chasing after it.
Kono Hibi No Saihate Ni MatsuI’ll keep reaching out for the light,
Hikari Ni Te Wo Nobashite IkuWaiting at the very end of these days.
Mou Jiki Asa Da To Iu No NiEven though morning’s coming soon,
Kiri Wa Harenai Mama DaThe mist still hasn’t cleared.
Obotsukanai Sono Rinkaku WoWhile I carefully trace that unsteady silhouette,
Tashika Ni Nazori Nagara Mukau No SaI’ll keep heading forward.
