Brave Shine

• By: Aimer

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

左手に隠した

Hidden in my left hand

願いは願いのままで

My wish stays as just a wish

覚めない幻見てた

I was dreaming an endless illusion

右手には空の記憶

In my right hand, I hold the memories of the sky

誰もしらない世界の果て

At the edge of a world no one knows

やまない雨にうたれていた

I was soaked in unending rain

守りたいものを守れる強さ

The strength to protect what I want to keep

それを信じられなくなる弱さ

The weakness that makes me doubt that

すべてを受け入れて

Accepting everything

未来を探す

Searching for our future

Brave shine

Brave Shine

手を伸ばせばまだ

If I reach out, there's still

Stay the night

Stay the night

傷だらけの夜

A night full of scars

You save my life

You save my life

かざした刃の先に想いを重ねた

I layered my feelings at the tip of the sword I raised

祈りは時を超えて

Prayers transcend time

Your brave shine

Your Brave Shine

...

...

光ること忘れた

I forgot how to shine

青い星が残してく

Leaving behind a blue star

消えない影見てた

I was watching an unending shadow

すれ違う赤の軌道

The red orbit crossing paths

何も知らない子供のまま

Still just a child who knows nothing

明けない夜を彷徨ってた

Wandering through an endless night

失くせないものを失くした弱さ

The weakness of losing something you can't let go

何も信じられなくなる脆さ

The fragility that makes you unable to trust anything

立てなくなっても 運命は進む

Even if you can't stand, destiny moves on

Break down

Break down

崩れ堕ちてゆく星座が

The stars that crumble and fall

傷つけあう夜

A night where we hurt each other

You're breaking dawn

You're breaking dawn

交わした約束の中に

Within the promises we've made

独りを支えた

I found support in being alone

確かな理想を添えて

With a firm ideal beside me

...

...

守りたいものを守れるのなら

If I can protect what I want to keep

すべてを受け入れて

Accept everything

未来を探す

Searching for our future

夜明けを灯す

Lighting the dawn

Brave shine

Brave Shine

手を伸ばせばまだ

If I reach out, there's still

Stay the night

Stay the night

傷だらけの夜

A night full of scars

You save my life

You save my life

重ねた涙の果てに光を見つけた

At the end of the tears I shed, I found the light

祈りは時を超えて

Prayers transcend time

My brave shine

My Brave Shine

...
