Lyrics post: Trowa

[violentjustice]

Today's subject is Trowa, for no other reason than 'I like listening to Doukeshi.' Unfortunately, Love is a Shooting Star's translation turned out to be really awkward; there were a lot of missed the's and a's, some of which I put in, many of which I didn't--all tense problems are from the original. You can see a lot of articles got stuck in parenthesis... I guess whoever translated it was of the mind that everything needed qualifying forever.

Anyway, here you are, for your reference or pleasure:


Clown

My night of solitude comes falling down
As if pouring down from the frozen crescent moon

My true heart, that was hidden behind a mask of tears and smiles,
Was somewhere, sometime, left behind.

I'm acting in the spotlight
The happiness I thought I had lost
The sadness I thought I had forgotten
The solitude
I continue to act them out

Even if I'm tired of dreaming
Even if my love has been betrayed
I am a clown, with my empty heart,
without even any memories,
only looking on.

Soon I will walk out into the spotlight
Embracing the lies
Tonight, again, the curtain will rise

I am lingering in the shadow of tears and smiles
My true heart is only painting over myself

I have been acting for so long
The happiness I was sure I had thrown away
The sadness I had locked away
I create a smile and put it on

The sensitivity of the children
whose small eyes sparkle...
Before the accepting hearts
that would believe any invented thing
My mask crumbles and falls.

I am so inexperienced in being loved
I don't know how to give love, either.
A clown, that for just one sparkling moment
felt something well up in his heart
and knew what it meant to cry...

A clown that knew what it meant to cry...


Love is a Shooting Star

I won't make an excuse, I don't need (a) comfort
I am the only person who trusts

The heart that is restricted by (a) false freedom
Cannot get the truth

I want to protect with my bloody hands
My life is just a shooting star disappearing

Staring at the faraway sky with lonesome eyes
Looking for something forever

I'll be a bird flying the broad sky
With the wings that are injured

Kindness is needless for me
A shooting star that burns itself out
LONELY...

Everything including the present and the future
Is enveloped in the flames of war
And becomes an illusion
So our lives and the smiles fading out
Will surely make the new world

You are staring at the truth
With your mind hidden to the end
Be a legendary bird
That flies to the end of the sky

A shooting star that disappears
After it entrusted its dream
To the hope that comes from (the) sadness
LONELY...

Everything including friendship and memories
Is taken by the destiny foreordrained to flight
And becomes an illusion
Now courage to stand against a violent storm
Is the ray to make (a) new times.

Everything including the present and the future
Is enveloped in the flames of war
And becomes an illusion
So our lives and the smiles fading out
Will surely make the new world.
