Chinkonsho - ALI PROJECT перевод на английский

Chinkonsho

愛する者を
守りぬくため
僕らは命を
投げ出せるだろうか
この手に握る
平和という名の
剣をかざして
戦うのだろうか
生まれくる前の我
それは今ここに
眠る英霊か
真白き鳩が
舞い降りるたび
さわぐ梢の間
真昼の月
迷える小径
たどりついた地で
遠い兄のような
声を聞く
ああ君 我の代わり生きよと
頭を垂れて
祈りつづける
老いし人の背に
ゆらいだ陽炎
終わりなき悲しみを
包み抱くのは
誰が眼差しか
蝉時雨だけが
降り注ぐ日の
まばゆい空の
青さが染みる
さまよう心
呼び戻した地に
優しい姉のような
唄を聞く
ああ君 死にたもうことなかれと
真白き鳩が
飛び立ってゆく
翼の先の
光に向かい
忘れることなき
涙の川の
果てない流れを
人は渡り
生きる果敢なさ
生きる尊さを
巡る時のなか
僕らは知る
迷える小径
たどりついた地で
遠い兄のような
声を聞く
ああ君よ 己がため強くあれ

Requiem

To protect the one I love,
would we be able to,
throw our lives away?
Could we truly,
with this sword in our hands,
named peace,
raise it and fight?
Could we really?
Ourselves before birth,
are they now here,
sleeping heroic spirits?
Every time a pure white dove,
descends and dances,
among the rustling branches,
the midday moon,
on the lost path,
in the land I reached,
like a distant brother,
I hear a voice,
Ah, you, live in my stead, it says,
bowing my head,
I continue to pray,
on the back of the aging one,
a flickering heat haze,
who embraces,
the endless sadness?
Whose gaze is it?
Only the cicada chorus,
on a day showered,
the dazzling sky's,
blueness seeps in,
my wandering heart,
to the land I was called back to,
like a gentle sister,
I hear a song,
Ah, you, do not die, it says,
a pure white dove,
flies away,
towards the light,
at the edge of its wings,
the unending flow,
of the river of tears,
we cannot forget,
people cross,
the boldness of living,
the preciousness of living,
within the cycle of time,
we come to know,
on the lost path,
in the land I reached,
like a distant brother,
I hear a voice,
Ah, you, be strong for yourself,
