Genius Translations
Yuiko Ohara - 煌めく浜辺 (Kirameku Hamabe) (English Translation)
Let us awaken to a happier time
In the moments before we realize it's morning
For the moon changes shape each and every day
Extinguishing the darkness


There’s no telling whether our many possible futures will be happy or not
So instead of living in our limited pasts, shall we rise up and choose this moment?


My heart is off floating somewhere
Maybe within a bad dream
Memories constantly change form
Hiding in the sea… dancing through the sky…


What is this limitless lifeforce trying to tell us?
Are we meant to proceed with the waning of the moon? Or turn back?


In a place where the tides and sands form a pool
The past and future wave farewell
If water and Earth could overlap
And we could be here together on this glittering beach… I'm sure it would be so pleasant


If the days are attempting to proceed without time for rest
Let us choose the faded past as an ally and sleep for a bit


As the tides and sands join voices
The past and future join hands
If we could lie down next to water and Earth
And sing together on this glittering beach… I'm sure it would be so pleasant
