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
