よあけのうた (yoake no uta)

Song of Dawn
Shadows grow in these fading days, a lone figure’s in a panic.
It’s like begging for forgiveness, what a pathetic sight.
The seeds we planted start to bloom.
You’re growing colder, drifting away.
My outstretched hand cuts through the air.
Can we go back to the way it was?
Consumed by crashing waves,
Moving forward while breaking the future.
Will the end come?
If I’m shattered and torn apart,
Even if I fall apart in disgrace, I won’t be scared.
Because I’m already empty inside.
Ah, at the end, surely,
Please just extinguish this light.
I don’t want anything more,
Because I’m scared of losing again.
Since losing you,
The world’s just filled with dark news.
No matter what I do, the sadness never ends.
Will we meet again someday?
Without learning my lesson, I lament.
No matter how much I dwell on it, the regret
Seeps into my palms.
If I’m shattered and torn apart,
Even if I fall apart in disgrace, I won’t be scared.
Yet, I can’t stop trembling.
I still want to be here, want to be with you.
There are things that can’t be lost.
A lot of them,
So I can’t leave just yet,
Even if no one else wishes for me to.
If I’m shattered and torn apart,
Even if I fall apart in disgrace, I won’t be scared.
Because you’re right beside me, every single day.
Ah, until it ends, until that time comes,
I’ll keep chasing after,
Reaching out to the light
That awaits at the end of these days.
Though morning is near,
The fog still hasn’t cleared.
Gently tracing that uncertain outline,
I’m heading towards it.
