Destiny

Ahhh… I forgot to do this. Hopefully no one else has done it yet. But seeing SEED’s popularity… Lyrics for Gundam SEED DESTINY First Opening Theme

yasashii sono yubi ga, owari ni fureru toki
ima dake, kimi dake, shinjitemo iin darou

daremo ga kuzureteku, negai wo motomesugite
jibun ga ochite yuku, basho wo sagashiteru

kizutsukete fureru shika dekinai, zawameku omoi ga, bokura no shinjitsu nara

kowareau kara, ugokenai
sabishii hane kasanete

deau hikari no nai jidai no
mabushisa wo misete

kanashii me no mama de, kuchitsukete shimau tabi
motto zutto, motto sotto, mamoreru kigashita
kokoro shika dakishimeru mono no nai, kodoku no tochuu de, miushinau sekai ga aru

kawareru koto ga, kowaku naru
fukai kodou no saki ni

kawasu honoo ni, egakareta
eien ga mieru

kowareau kara, ugokenai
sabishii hane kasanete

deau hikari no nai jidai no
mabushisa dake

kawareru chikari, osorenai
fukai kodou no saki ni

kawasu honoo yo, egakareta
unmei ni todoke

First Destiny opening. I realize that I can do things muuuuch faster if I simply skip the SJIS step and translit directly from the scans. (though translation would require more time this way… if I ever get to that) This only took 10 minutes, compared to the usual 30…

UPDATE: My really, really bad translation.

As your gentle finger touches the end,
Just for this moment, it should be alright for me to trust you.

Everyone is collapsing from wishing too often,
And searching for a place to fall back on.

If these rustling emotions that cause nothing but pain are really our true selves…

I can’t move because we will hurt each other.
Pile up the lonely feathers.

In an era with no guiding light,
Show me your radiance.

With sorrowful eyes, and our lips almost touching,
Longer, gentler, I felt like I could protect you.

In the solitude with nothing to embrace except my heart, a forgotten world is there.

Being able to change makes me afraid,
Just before the heavy throbbing begins.

In the criss-crossing fire, I drew a picture.
I can see eternity.

I can’t move because we will hurt each other.
Pile up the lonely feathers.

In an era with no guiding light,
Just your radiance.

Don’t be afraid of the power to change,
Just before the heavy throbbing begins.

In the criss-crossing fire, I drew a picture.
Reach for our destiny!
