Tamashii no refrain

Soul refrain

Japanese translitteration
Literal translation
(Extended translation)

Watashi ni kaeri nasai, kioku wo tadori,
Yasashisa to yume no minamoto e.
Mouichido hoshi ni hikare, umareru tame ni.
Tamashii no rufuran...

Please come back to me, tracing my memories,
To the source of sweetness and dreams.
For the sake of being born, shine like a star once more!
Soul refrain...
(Come back to me--pursuing memories
To the source of gentleness and dreams
Once again I'm charmed by the stars so that it may be born--
My soul's refrain)




Aoi kage ni tsutsumareta suhada ga,
Toki no naka de, shizuka ni furueteru.
Inochi no yukue wo toikakeru you ni,
Yubisaki wa watashi wo motomeru.

The bare skin wrapped in pale shadow,
Are shivering silently amidst time.
As if to inquire where life is going,
fingertips desire after me.
(Concealed by the pale shadows, my bare skin,
Lost in time, quietly shivers
As if questioning the direction of my life,
My fingertip seeks me out)



Dakishimeteta unmei no anata wa,
Kisetsu ni saku marude hakanai hana.
Kibou no nioi wo mune ni nokoshite,
Chiriisogu azayakana sugata de.

You who hold fate in your hands,
are a very vulnerable flower blossoming in the seasons,
leaving the smell of hope in the heart,
and falling apart rapidly in a splendid pose.
(For you, who embraced fate,
The season blooms like a short-lived flower
The scent of hope left behind in your heart
Falling away from your brilliant figure)


*Watashi ni kaeri nasai, umareru mae ni,
Anata ga sugoshita daichi e to.
Kono te ni kaeri nasai, meguriau tame.
Kiseki wa okoru yo nando demo,
Tamashii no rufuran...*

*Please come back to me, come back before birth,
And to the earth that you passed through.
Please come back into these arms, for the sake of a chance meeting.
Miracles will be created, no matter how many times,
Soul refrain.*
*(Come back to me--Before it's born
To the earth you've passed through
Come back to these arms so we can meet again
The miracle is awakening--so many times!
My soul's refrain)*


Inoru you ni, mabuta tojita toki ni,
Sekai wa tada yami no soko ni kieru.
Soredemo kodou wa mata ugokidasu,
Kagiri aru eien wo sagashite.

Like in prayer, when the eyelids are closed,
The world simply disappears into the depths of darkness.
However the heart beat goes on again,
Searching for an eternity with limits.
(Like praying, when I closed my eyes,
The world vanished into the depths of darkness,
Even so, my heart still beat,
Giving its all to find something eternal)


Watashi ni kaeri nasai, kioku wo tadori,
Yasashisa to yume no minamoto e.
Anata mo kaeri nasai ai shiau tame.
Kokoro mo karada mo kurikaesu.
Tamashii no rufuran...

Please come back to me, recalling my memories,
To the source of sweetness and dreams.
You, please come back also, for the sake of love.
Both body and soul repeat,
soul refrain...
(Come back to me--pursuing memories
To the source of gentleness and dreams
You must come back so we can be in love
My heart and body both repeat it--
My soul's refrain...)

*Repeat

Here's Yokan: credits go to Anai Kurome for posting this a while backI disagree
on the use of "hunch" as translation for Yokan, and prefer "presentiment".

Hunch

I've been immune to loneliness from birth
But I couldn't resist the arms
Shaking my heart up

I have this dizzying hunch of the future
spreading
Because of your love
Holding a peice of my feeling
Mighty and tender, but somehow distressing
Drawing close to you

Having a lot of encounterd
That was always the way to forget someone I
loved
It was your warm tears that made me aware of
the pain

Bewildered by an uncaccountable hunch
Still i hold on to your hands
I wanna start over from scratch with smiling
On your chest where changes something
There is light flooding
