Tsunomaki Watame - Everlasting Soul Lyrics + English Translation

さあいつまでもただこの地で唄おう　
胸を打ち震わせる感動を鳴らすように
いつかもし灯火が消えたって　
人が生きるなら　
唄う心は死なない
すべてが壊れても…

息絶えた路上から香りだすのは　
火薬と死の匂い　Such a smell…
朽ち果てた荒屋に吹きすさぶ風　
哀しみさえもない　Heart is dead…？

朝が来たって　
降り続く雨が閉ざす　
面影さえない　
あの詩

今 跡形もないこの地で唄おう　
僅かでも微かでもまだ希望信じたいから
奏で出し溢れ出すあの笑顔　
取り戻せるなら　
私の詩は止まない
この声が枯れたって

変わり果てても　
変わらないものがあると　
目を閉じ浮かべる　
あの風景

まだ共に鳴らせる心が在るなら　
何一つ無駄じゃない　
この詩もこの愛情も
鈍色の伽藍堂どこまでも　
響き渡っても　
今はただ虚しいだけ
でも願いを込めて

人の詩を絶やしたものが　
人の醜悪だとしても

さあ跡形もないこの地で唄おう　
ただ強くなお強くまだ希望信じてるから
奏で出し溢れ出すあの笑顔　
取り戻せるなら　
私の詩は止まない
この声が枯れたって
滅びたこの街で　

For the everlasting soul

For the everlasting soul

May my song sound across these lands forevermore​ ​​
Unleashing these emotions welling up inside of me​
​Should all rays of hope be extinguished
​As long as humanity still lives strong
My singing heart will go on​
Even after everything is gone​

​Emanating from these dead-end streets
The stench of gunpowder and death​ ​Such a smell...​
As a dry breeze blows through these broken homes​
There is nothing left to even mourn​ Heart is dead...?​

Should a new dawn break
​The pelting rain, clouds, and a sky so bleak​
​Will leave no trace behind
Of the melody in my mind​

​May my song sound across these barren lands​
Believing in a hope so far from reality​
Should that radiant smile still live strong​
​As long as it can return to where it belongs
My singing will not stop
Even after my voice is gone​

Should everything change​
​Some things will still remain
So I close my eyes and remember​
The scenery in my mind​

Should our hearts still resonate
​Nothing will be in vain​
​Not this song, not our love​
Should they echo across​
This wasteland of gray
​It may seem meaningless today​
But they will carry a prayer​

Even if it was the malice of man​
That put an end to our music​

May this song sound across these barren lands​
​Believing in a hope deep down inside
Should that radiant smile still live strong​
As long as it can return to where it belongs​
My singing will not stop​
​Even after my voice is gone
In these streets of downfall

For the everlasting soul
