Song Lyrics

Within This Revolving World

Here is a youtube video of the intro from the game, where this song plays. It is only the shortened game version of the song, however.

『廻る世界で』

1 伸び行く影法師踏んで
2 誰彼をさまよう
3 透き通った赤に溶け消える
4 淡い面影

5 遠い在りし日を
6 探すまどろみに
7 夢見たあの声忘れず
8 いつか逢えると

9 導いて (腕を)
10 この先のあの場所へ (伸ばして)
11 触れ合った指が絡まりあう

12 運命の輪が廻りだす (縁の繭とく)
13 紡ぎ出された糸で (糸車)
14 手繰り寄せて捕まえて (ふたりをつないで)
15 訪れる果てまで (最後まで)

16 花は咲いても儚くて (重ねたてのひら)
17 月も欠けては沈み (握り締め)
18 だから傍で微笑んで (いつまで終まで)
19 最後まで一緒に (あなたと)

Mawaru Sekai de

1 Nobiyuku kageboushi funde
2 Tasogare wo samayou
3 Tsukitotta aka ni tokekieru
4 Awai omokage

5 Tooi arishihi wo
6 Sagasu madoromi ni
7 Yume mita ano koe wasurezu
8 Itsuka aeru to

9 Michibiite (ude wo)
10 Kono saki no ano basho e (nobashite)
11 Fureatta yubi ga karamariau

12 Unmei no wa ga mawaridasu (midori no mayu toku)
13 Tsumugidasareta ito de (itoguruma)
14 Tekuriyosete tsukamaete (futari wo tsunaide)
15 Otozureru hate made (saigo made)

16 Hana wa saitemo hakanakute (kasaneta te no hira)
17 Tsuki mo kaketewa shizumi (nigirishime)
18 Dakara soba de hohoende (itsu made saigo made)
19 Saigo made issho ni (anata to)

Within this Revolving World

1 Treading upon the lengthening shadows
2 I wander through the twilight
3 And the fleeting vestiges
4 Melt into translucent red

5 Searching out the distant sun
6 That voice I can't forget
7 From that lazy dream I had
8 If only to meet her again

9 Take me there... (my arm...)
10 To that place just ahead (reaching out...)
11 Our overlapping fingers intertwine

12 The circle of fate begins to turn (wheel and spindle...)
13 Pulled along by that spinning thread (unraveling the cocoon of green...)
14 Reel it in and take it in hand (bind the two of us together)
15 Unto the fate that befalls us (Unto the very end)

16 Even in bloom, flowers are frail (let me grasp)
17 The moon will wane and sink (your hand in mine)
18 So stay by my side, and smile (always, to the end)
19 Together until the end (you and I)

(End of game version)

1 月影青白く冴えて
2 澄んだ空凍える
3 滲んでぼやけた目凝らし
4 今を見つめて

5 ひとり震える身
6 抱いて暖めて
7 くれるというあなた探す
8 廻る世界で

9 舞い散る (いつか)
10 花びらに包まれて (交わした)
11 約束通りに巡り会える

12 記憶の欠片踏みつけて (辿って歩こう)
13 血を流したとしても (この道を)
14 あなたの元へ辿り着く (絆を頼りに)
15 想いだけの強さで (迷わずに)

16 千の秋が訪れて (心を蝕む)
17 涙枯れたとしても (孤独にも)
18 続く夜に負けないで (怯まず向かうよ)
19 朝の光信じて (明日へ)

1 Tsukikage aoshiroku saete
2 Sunda sora kogoeru
3 Mijinde boyaketa me korashi
4 Ima wo mitsumete

5 Hitori furueru mi
6 Daite atatamete
7 Kureru to iu anata sagasu
8 Mawaru sekai de

9 Maichiru (itsuka)
10 Hanabira ni tsutsumarete (kawashita)
11 Yakusoku-doori ni meguriaeru

12 Kioku no kakera fumitsukete (tadotte arukou)
13 Chi wo nagashita to shite mo (kono michi wo)
14 Anata no moto e tadoritsuku (kizuna wo tayori ni)
15 Omoi dake no tsuyosa de (mayowazu ni)

16 Sen no aki ga otozurete (kokoro wo hashibamu)
17 Namida kareta to shite mo (kodoku ni mo)
18 Tsudzuku yoru ni makenaide (hirumazu mukau yo)
19 Asa no hikari shinjite (ashita e)

1 The serene, pallid moonlight
2 Chills the open air
3 Strain these bleary, misty eyes
4 And look upon the now

5 In this revolving world
6 I seek you out
7 The one to embrace and warm
8 This quivering form

9 Enveloped in these flower petals (the vow we...)
10 Destined to scatter in time (exchanged...)
11 Just as we promised, we can meet again one day

12 If I must crush these shards of memory (I'll walk down...)
13 Or even shed my blood (this path...)
14 I will come to stand at your side (following the bond we share...)
15 With the strength of my love alone (and never lose my way)

16 Should you weather a thousand autumns (should the solitude...)
17 Or cry your tears 'till they run dry (eclipse your heart...)
18 Don't lose to the unending night (I will face you without a flinch...)
19 Believe in the morning light (and welcome the morrow with you)

『旅路の果て』

1 星の光は
2 遠い過去のもの
3 寒い宇宙飛び続け
4 長い道程
5 越えて辿り着いた
6 わたしたちの先逢

7 月が傾き
8 夜が幕を引いて
9 鮮やかに色付いた
10 世界の中で
11 あなたと目覚めたら
12 立ち上がり歩き出そう

13 地平線
14 朝日に霞む
15 この道はどこまで
16 続いているのだろう

17 現在もまた
18 未来に向かって
19 太陽が昇る場所へ

20 あなたとふたりで行きたい
21 光の差し込むこの道を

22 大地と空とが交わる
23 見果てぬ遠くを目指して

24 ふたりいつまでも
25 笑い合って
26 涙を零さずいられたら

27 抱いた温もりに
28 満ちた幸せを
29 同じ歌
30 口ずさんで声重ねて──

31 あなたとふたりで生きたい
32 光の差し込むこの世界で

33 あなたとふたりで行きたい
34 遥かな旅路の果てまで

Tabiji no Hate

1 Hoshi no hikari wa
2 Tooi mukashi no mono
3 Samui sora tobitsudzuke
4 Nagai michinori
5 Koete tadoritsuita
6 Watashitachi no sendatsu

7 Tsuki ga katamuki
8 Yoru ga maku wo hiite
9 Azayaka ni irodzuita
10 Sekai no naka de
11 Anata to mezametara
12 Tachiagari arukidasou

13 Chiheisen
14 Asahi ni kasumu
15 Kono michi wa doko made
16 Tsudzuiteiru no darou

17 Ima mo mata
18 Asu ni mukatte
19 Taiyou ga noboru basho e

20 Anata to futari de ikitai
21 Hikari no sashikomu kono michi wo

22 Daichi to sora to ga majiwaru
23 Mihatenu tooku wo mezashite

24 Futari itsumademo
25 Waraiatte
26 Namida wo kobosazu iraretara

27 Daita nukumori ni
28 Michita shiawase wo
29 Onaji uta
30 Kuchizusande koe kasanete---

31 Anata to futari de ikitai
32 Hikari no sashikomu kono sekai de

33 Anata to futari de ikitai
34 Haruka na tabiji no hate made

Journey's End

1 The lights of the stars
2 Are travelers of distant past
3 Flying through the cold of space
4 Over that long, long road
5 They crossed as they came
6 One step ahead of us

7 As the moon sinks down
8 And night pulls the curtains open
9 Within this world
10 Of lush, abundant colors
11 When I awaken with you
12 Let us stand, and set out

13 The horizon fades
14 Into the morning light
15 I wonder how long
16 This path will go on?

17 Even the present
18 Journeys to the future
19 To the place where the sun will rise

20 I want to walk it with you
21 This path where the light shines down

22 Where the sky and land intersect
23 We set our sights over an impenetrable distance

24 If only we both could stay
25 Laughing together
26 And shed no tears to the end of our days

27 Join your voice with mine
28 Let's hum the same tune
29 Singing of happiness
30 Filled with the warmth of our embrace

31 I want to live together with you
32 In this world where the light shines down

33 I want to walk it together with you
34 To this distant journey's end

(End of game version)

1 廻る世界で
2 握る手を離さず
3 昏い道はぐれずに
4 歩き続けて
5 ここに辿り着いた
6 夜白むこの場所へ

7 ふたり並んで
8 ひかり仰ぎ見てた
9 どこまでも続く空
10 瞳を細め
11 あなたが微笑んだ
12 陽だまりに包まれて

13 白い花
14 咲いたこの木の
15 枝分かれした先
16 見えずにいるけれど

17 いくつかの
18 「もし」の未来も
19 満ち足りていればいいと

20 あなたとふたりで生きたい
21 光の差し込むこの世界で

22 花咲く季節が過ぎても
23 生命の終わりが訪れるまで

24 ふたり同じ道
25 歩き続け
26 終まで離れずいられたら

27 終わりが見えたなら
28 遠い始まりを
29 振り返り
30 この道行き語り合って──

31 あなたとふたりで生きたい
32 光の差し込むこの世界で

33 あなたとふたりで逝きたい
34 遥かな旅路の果てには

35 ふたりで一緒に

1 Within this revolving world
2 I won't let go of your hand
3 I won't stray from this dark road
4 But continue walking on
5 To this place
6 Where the lights of night came to rest

7 Lining up together
8 We looked up at that light
9 The sky extending in every which way
10 Narrowing your eyes
11 You smiled at me
12 Wrapped up in a blanket of light

13 We cannot see
14 The branching limbs of this tree
15 Beyond the ends
16 Where the white flowers bloom, but,

17 It's best to be content
18 With the precious few
19 "What if" futures we're blessed to have

20 I want to live together with you
21 In this world where the light shines down

22 Even as the flowering seasons pass
23 And the end comes to visit our lives

24 Walking ever farther down
25 Until the end of this path
26 If we can just remain, without parting ways

27 If the end comes in sight
28 Let us turn around
29 Look back at the beginning
30 Telling our tales of the way we came---

31 I want to live together with you
32 In this world where the light shines down

33 I want to die together with you
34 At this distant journey's end

35 Two, together as one
