English translation<\/h2>\n

\tWhen the sad drum echoes
\n\talmost to the end of the sky [1]
\n\tI listen closely to the redemption [2]
\n\tof a suddenly transparent heart<\/p>\n

\tOn an autumn evening showering gentleness,
\n\tWhy do I well up with nostalgia [3]
\n\twhen I don’t even know where it came from?
\n\tThough I could go so far if I walked on without hesitation,
\n\tIn the silence of dried tears
\n\tI keep singing of
\n\tnostalgia<\/p>\n

\tNo matter what, don’t believe
\n\tmy tears or my sighs
\n\tBecause it’s just my love of the fleeting feelings
\n\tthat are a bit more ephemeral than human beings<\/p>\n

\tThe melody that cries silently at the faded window’s edge,
\n\tleaving behind a shadow of joy, mourns [4] the dream of love
\n\tIf we had walked one by one, I wonder if we could have gone far
\n\tWhen I look back, my white cheek
\n\tis kissed by
\n\tnostalgia<\/p>\n

\tIn the autumn twilight that rains gentleness,
\n\tI indulge the loneliness that makes me want to disappear
\n\tIf I walked on without hesitation, I wonder if I could have gone far
\n\tUnder a sky that is too deep
\n\tI keep singing of
\n\tnostalgia<\/p>\n\n<\/div>

[2] \u8d16\u3044 Aganai<\/strong>: more literally, atonement. However, here I thought it was more difficult to “listen to” atonement (the compensation\/redemption of humanity from sin, in Christian teaching) than to redemption. One could consider being redeemed verbally, no?<\/p>\n

[3] \u5207\u306a\u3055\u3000Setsunasa<\/strong>: more at melancholy or heart-rending sadness. Since “nostalgia” can also cause the same kind of pain in the heart, and seemed to fit better in English than “melancholy,” I went with “nostalgia.”<\/p>\n

[4] \u5f14\u3046 Tomurau<\/strong>: to mourn for; to hold a memorial service for. More at “to eulogize” or “to memorialize” but those verbs are awkward to use. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
