Genius English Translations
Shoji Meguro - Our Light (English Translation)
In the night where I dreamt of a dream
I closed my eyelids staring at you
If I woke up all the things that I lived through, your voice
Would disappear together with the sleepiness
Even if we’d never meet again
Even if the time that has passed should transform into pain
That pain will guide me
Towards the stars of the sky that shine above me
You put a stop to that sweet, sweet fairytale kingdom
That is the distorted world where I met you
And, with it, to the mouth that preaches
That it’s fine to accept a false happiness
When the morning will come and I will begin to remember
You will be gone
But even if it will be painful
I will go on and walk along the path that I’ve chosen for myself
Towards the stars of the future I awoke into
Since the sadness felt in waking
Into a reality different from yesterday’s is important
I will live on
Even if we would never meet again
Even if the time that has passed should transform into pain
That pain will go beyond the tears that flow
And will reach our light that will float eternally in the sky
