Paroles et traduction ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - 夜を越えて

夜を越えて

音楽はあまりに無力なんて常套句に酔っても
世界をただ一ミリでも動かすことは出来るだろうか
悲しみだけが強かにレンズに映るけど
焼き増すだけならフィルムに埋もれるだけだろう

本当にそれで良いのか
本当にここでジ・エンドか

例えば身近な誰かが途方に暮れても
気付いてないような素振りで見て見ぬふりを出来るだろうか
遠くの街の出来事がニュースになっても
僕らはいつも他人事にして忘れてきたんだ

本当にこれで良いのか
本当にここでジ・エンドか
今 この場所がスタートだ

胸の想いが少し光って
星のない夜を温めた
途切れそうな細いロープを手繰って
闇と瓦礫を掻き分けて
辿り着いたんだ

重油の膜のように漂う悲しみも
光の届かぬ 冷たく深い海の底にも
確かな 命の息吹を

僕らはあまりに無力なんて君が嘆いても
それでも何時かは何かを成し遂げてみたいんだ
現実という名の荒野で迷子になっても
この日々を照らすイメージを

本当にこれで良いのか
本当にここでジ・エンドか
今 この場所がスタートだ

胸の想いが少し光って
星のない夜を温めた
途切れそうな細いロープを手繰って
闇と瓦礫を掻き分けて
辿り着いたんだ

Overcoming the Night

Even if I indulge in such clichés as how music is useless
Can it really move the world even a millimetre?
Only sadness is strongly reflected in the lens,
But if we just develop it, it will only get buried in film.

Is that really okay?
Is this really the end?

For example, even if someone close to you is feeling lost,
Can you really pretend you don't notice and turn a blind eye?
Even if something happens in a distant city,
We have always treated it as something unrelated to us and forgotten about it.

Is that really okay?
Is this really the end?
Now, this place is the start.

The feelings in my heart shine a little,
Warming up the starless night,
Grasping the thin rope that threatens to snap,
Scraping through the darkness and rubble,
I have finally arrived.

Even sadness that floats like an oil slick,
Even in the depths of the cold, dark sea where light cannot reach,
A certain breath of life.

Even if you lament how we are powerless,
I still want to accomplish something someday.
Even if I get lost in the wilderness called reality,
An image that will illuminate these days.

Is that really okay?
Is this really the end?
Now, this place is the start.

The feelings in my heart shine a little,
Warming up the starless night,
Grasping the thin rope that threatens to snap,
Scraping through the darkness and rubble,
I have finally arrived.
