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 (*--)

Suggestions or correction? Please comment^^
