Lyrics and translation Nana Mizuki - 粹戀

粹戀

桜降る 名残りの空
哀れ 無常の夜よ

それが消えぬ宿命(さだめ)でも
たとえ虚しい絶望でも
滲む廃墟に射した夕闇のように
辛く孤独であっても

愛しき人よ
見つめて欲しい

愛が咲かせた花を命と云うなら
この身 朽ち果ててもいい
燃ゆる想いは 刃となって
狂おしい程に心に突き刺さる

一度限りのこの世を生き抜くなら
捧げて悔いはない
悲しみさえ 愛の化身だと
この瞬間(とき)を駆けるだけ

花弁よ 天に舞え 花弁よ 風に散れ

これが解けぬ絆なら
二人 叶わぬ明日でもいい

愛しき人よ
今 抱きしめて欲しい

夢に羽ばたく鳥を祈りと呼ぶなら
傷ついたこの翼で
募る痛みも 炎となって
求め続ける心 照らし出すから

愛は試す 時は嗤(わら)う
真実なのかと問われるけど
信じ貫く愛だけがただ
全ての魂 救うのでしょう

愛が咲かせた花を命と云うなら
この身 朽ち果ててもいい
燃ゆる想いは 刃となって
狂おしい程に心に突き刺さる

一度限りのこの世を生き抜くなら
捧げて悔いはない
悲しみさえ 愛の化身だと
この瞬間(とき)を駆けるだけ

花弁よ 天に舞え 花弁よ 風に散れ

Eternal Love

Under the lingering sky where cherry blossoms fall,
A pathetic, impermanent night approaches.

Even though it is an inevitable fate,
Even though it is a futile despair,
Like the twilight that pierces the decaying ruins,
Even though it is painful and lonely,

My beloved,
Please look at me.

If the flower that love has bloomed is called life,
Then my body can perish.
The burning desire becomes a blade,
Piercing my heart with madness.

If I can only live this once-in-a-lifetime life,
I will offer it without regret.
Even sorrow is the incarnation of love,
I will only run through this moment.

Petals, dance in the sky, petals, scatter in the wind.

If this is an unbreakable bond,
Even if tomorrow is impossible for us,

My beloved,
Please hold me now.

If the bird that soars in dreams is called a prayer,
With these wounded wings,
The growing pain also becomes a flame,
Because it illuminates the heart that continues to seek.

Love tests, time laughs,
But when asked if it is true,
Only the love that perseveres
Will save all souls.

If the flower that love has bloomed is called life,
Then my body can perish.
The burning desire becomes a blade,
Piercing my heart with madness.

If I can only live this once-in-a-lifetime life,
I will offer it without regret.
Even sorrow is the incarnation of love,
I will only run through this moment.

Petals, dance in the sky, petals, scatter in the wind.
