Lyrics & Translation

[English]

猛た波が喰らふは千の意思と万の生きし

御霊と一片の祈り八百万掬い給えと

その裂けた命乞ふ声さへも 海に響く鼓膜なく

今も何処かの海で 絶へず木霊し続けるのだろう

君の匂いは帰る場所

細い指先は向かう場所

万感の想いで積み上げた今日も

嘘になるなら 真実などもういらない

怒りもせず 涙も見せぬ 空と陸の狭間で生きるは

現を背に 痛みに狂う 我ら似て非なる群れた愚者

猛た波が喰らうは千の意思と万の生きし

御霊と一片の祈り 幾年がまとめて刹那に

果てた陸に何を唄へば 再び光は芽吹く

今はこの調べを蒔いて 彷徨う友が 帰る道しるべとして

出逢えたから ここに在るこの

空っぽだから大事にするよ

運命か 采か 昨日と今日の

狭間に終えた 君の御霊と

引き換えに得た この身のすべては

形見だから 守り通すよ

はじめてだよ 跡形も無い君に

声を振るわせ 届けと願うのは

...

Key Grammar Structures

• 猛た波が喰らふは千の意思と万の生きし

  ➔ Use of the particle 'は' (wa) for contrast or emphasis

  ➔ The particle 'は' (wa) is used here to emphasize '千の意思と万の生きし' (thousands of wills and tens of thousands of lives) as the topic, contrasting it with the subject '猛た波' (fierce waves).

• その裂けた命乞ふ声さへも 海に響く鼓膜なく

  ➔ Use of 'さへも' (sae mo) for emphasis and 'に' (ni) to indicate location

  ➔ 'さへも' (sae mo) emphasizes that even the pleading voice of a torn life cannot reach the eardrums resonating in the sea. 'に' (ni) indicates the location where the sound resonates, '海' (the sea).

• 嘘になるなら 真実などもういらない

  ➔ Use of conditional form 'なるなら' (narunara) and contrastive 'など' (nado)

  ➔ The conditional form 'なるなら' (narunara) expresses a hypothetical situation: 'if it becomes a lie.' 'など' (nado) is used to dismiss the value of truth in a contrastive manner.

  ➔ Use of 'を背に' (o se ni) to indicate a backdrop and '似て非なる' (nite hinaru) for similarity yet difference
