Paroles et traduction 近藤 晃央 - 存在照明

存在照明

これは始まりか？終わりか？
決めるのは誰だ？誰だ？

はるか遠くに見えた光が
「そんなもんか？」と問いかけてくる
どれだけ聞こえぬフリをしても
脈打つ鼓動 この衝動は何だ？

奇跡じゃなく 必然を抱き
待たず 向かうさ今
わずかでも１歩 それでしか近付けぬ先
闇を斬り裂け

この存在の照明を 今灯せ
照らした絶望は 希望だった
これは始まりか？終わりか？
誰に問う？応えろ さあ
誰にも奪えない 声で

人と比べて嘆く そのたび
過去の自分にすら 劣ってく
使い切ることでしか満たせぬ
命を余し 何を待ってるんだ？

真っ暗では 姿も見えず
絶望 そう名付けた
その正体は 明かりを探す希望だと
記憶が叫ぶ

あの光明の光源を 今明かせ
後悔も敗北も 使ってやれ
ここで終わらすか？限界か？
隠し持つチョイスを さあ
自ら暴くから 択べ

戦いに敗れた不成功者と
戦いを拒んだ不失敗者
負けは負けだろう？
でも勝者は そこで讃えられるまで
何者だった？

この存在の照明を 今灯せ
照らした絶望は 希望だった
これは始まりか？終わりか？
誰に問う？応えろ さあ
誰にも奪えない 声で
誰にも奪えない その眼に映る光で

これは始まりか？終わりか？
決めるのは誰だ... 誰だ... 誰だ？

Existence Illumination

Is this a beginning or an end?
Who decides? Who decides?

The light that seemed so far away
Asks me "Is that all?"
No matter how much I pretend not to hear
My beating heart, this impulse, what is it?

Not a miracle, but an inevitability
I will not wait, I will go now
Even a single step will bring me closer to the place I cannot reach
Cut through the darkness

Light the illumination of this existence now
The despair I illuminated was hope
Is this a beginning or an end?
Who do I ask? Answer, now
In a voice that no one can take away

Whenever I compare myself to others and lament
I become inferior even to my past self
Only by using it up can it be filled
What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?

In the darkness, I can't see you
Despair, that's what I called it
Its true nature is the hope to find light
My memory screams

Reveal the light source of that light now
Use regrets and defeats
Will you end here? Is this your limit?
Reveal the hidden choices
I will expose myself, so choose

A loser who lost the battle
And a loser who refused to fight
Losing is losing, right?
But the victor, until he is praised
Who was he?

Light the illumination of this existence now
The despair I illuminated was hope
Is this a beginning or an end?
Who do I ask? Answer, now
In a voice that no one can take away
In the light that reflects in those eyes that no one can take away

Is this a beginning or an end?
Who decides? Who decides? Who decides?
