Текст и перевод песни 吉岡亜衣加 - 蒼穹ノ旗

蒼穹ノ旗

眩き天(そら)を仰げば其処に
見ゆる 鮮やかな面影
想ひ出じゃない 今もなを
はためく 御旗は心に
躊躇ふこともせずに
舞い散る桜が如く
昏(くら)き真昼の闇
急ぐ背中 追ってゐたあの日
此の命より かけがえのなき
慕情(おもひ)を愛と呼ぶのなら
ずっと愛し抜く
ああ 逢えなくなっても
強く
清けき天(そら)よ 其処に居ますか?
遙か 懐かしき人達
泪を拭いて 名を呼べば
たなびく 集いし光が
散り逝く花が残す
明日の種の如くに
乱る時代 憂ひ
駆けし姿 伝えやう未来へ
其の志 其の魂を
私がきっと語り継ぐ
いつか此の世から
そう私が消えても
永遠(とわ)に
果てなき天(そら)を仰げば其処に
映る 愛おしきあの日々
さよならはない 悠久(とこしえ)に
生きてる絆は 心に
今年も繚乱と桜咲く此の国
あの日 散華した花のかたみのやうに
燃ゆる如く
眩き天(そら)を仰げば其処に
見ゆる 慕はしき面影
想ひ出じゃない 今もなを
はためく 御旗は
果てなき天(そら)を仰げば其処に
映る 愛おしきあの日々
さよならはない 悠久(とこしえ)に
生きてる絆は 心に 心に

The Empire's Flag

I look up at the dazzling sky, and there,
I see your vivid form.
Not a memory, but still,
Your flag waves in my heart.
Without hesitation,
Like cherry blossoms scattering,
Through the gloomy midday darkness,
I followed your hurried back that day.
More precious than my life,
If that affection can be called love,
I will continue to love you.
Oh, even if I can't meet you,
Strongly,
Clear sky, are you there?
Far away, my dear friends,
Wiping away my tears, I call out your names,
And the light you gather flutters,
Like the remains of fallen flowers,
Like seeds for tomorrow.
A troubled time, worries,
I will tell your story to the future,
Your will, your soul,
I will surely pass it on.
Someday, from this world,
Even when I am gone,
Forever,
I look up at the endless sky, and there,
I see the cherished days of the past.
There is no farewell, eternally,
The bond we share lives in our hearts.
This country where cherry blossoms bloom in full glory year after year,
Like the flowers that scattered that day,
Burning brightly,
I look up at the dazzling sky, and there,
I see your beloved form.
Not a memory, but still,
Your flag waves.
I look up at the endless sky, and there,
I see the cherished days of the past.
There is no farewell, eternally,
The bond we share lives in our hearts, in our hearts.
