Aoi - Concord lyrics translation

揺らめく光に

溶け合う旋律

見上げた空へと

祈りを捧げている

The flickering light melts together with a melody

I raise my eyes to the skies and offer a prayer (1)

ねぇ叶うのなら

そうこのまま

想い照らして

描かせて

Hey, in case my wish comes true

just like this

I feel it shining on me

and I let a picture paint in my mind (2)

降りそそぐ

月の明かりが輝いて

部屋を染めあげる

あの日のように

The moonlight is lighting up this room

and dyeing it in sparkles

It’s like that day

願いは遥かな時を越えて

永遠を奏で彩り続ける

鐘の音が街を包んだなら

この瞳を閉じ

あなたのもとへと

Wishes pass through in distant moments and keep coloring eternity (3)

When the sound of bells is covering the streets, I close my eyes and then I’m with you

ねぇ過ちさえ

そう懐かしい

変わらずにまだ

愛しいでしょう

Hey, I even miss my mistakes

I haven’t changed them yet

You love them, don’t you?

窓辺から眺めた景色

色褪せず

はしゃぐ声がまだ

あの日のように

The scenery outside my window haven’t faded in color

I still hear the voice which makes my spirit rise

It’s like that day

眩しい季節が胸にあふれ

届かずにまた消えていく

いつかまた出逢えると信じて

この心の中刻んでおくから

The radiant seasons make my chest overflow

Everything unfulfilled vanishes and goes away

The thought that someday we will meet again

is engraved in my heart

願いは遥かな時を越えて

永遠を奏で彩り続ける

鐘の音が街を包んだなら

この瞳を閉じ

あなたのもとへと

 

Wishes pass through in distant moments and keep coloring eternity (3)

When the sound of bells is covering the streets, I close my eyes and then I’m with you

揺らめく光に

溶け合う旋律

見上げた空へと

祈りを捧げている

The flickering light melts together with a melody

I raise my eyes to the skies and offer a prayer (1)

(1) This sentence could also be past tense (because of the "た"-ending on "見上げた") but, to me, context suggests present tense. Furthermore, "ている", too, suggests the fact that the whole sentence is present tense and thus (since two positive beat a negative and all that) it is present tense.

(2) Since there are very few particles in this paragraph (if any at all), it’s hard to decide who does what etc. However, due to the context, this is how I translated it =^.^=

I got another suggestion from my sensei saying; "Please shine on my wish (or mind) and let me dream it" – whatever suits you. I think both are beautiful and in tune with the song^^

(3) In this paragraph he mentions “playing an instrument” in the same context as the wishes "color eternity" - which doesn’t make much sense (>__<● I left out the playing-part but please note that it is mentioned in there ^^” That’s the uniqueness of Japanese language for you (*-▽-)ノ゛

Suggestions or correction? Please comment^^
