| Artist: 鬼束ちひろ (Onitsuka Chihiro) Song Title: We Can Go Album: Insomnia Track Number: 5 Released: 2001 Lyrics By: Chihiro Onitsuka |
Taking a short time off this month, so I've decided to casually translate some of my all-time favorites (that I haven't translated already). I know this song is 15 years old, but it's still so close to my heart. ^_^

| 私は非道くもがいてたから 救いの声さえ聞こえなかったの 誰かの唇が動く度 この肌は色を変えて行く 吐き気に潰れて行く中で 柔らかな手の平に触れる どうか完全なものたちが そこら中に溢れないように We can go to the place where we're forgiven 耳を塞いでも 呼び続けるから We can go to the place where we get freedom 羽根を失くしても私は飛べるから 盲目の日々に呑まれながら 私を呼ぶ声が怖かった どうか光り輝くものたちが 二人を侵してしまう前に We can go to the place where we're forgiven 失くしたものを探しに行くから We can go to the place where we get freedom 肌が熱いのを覚えておくから We can go to the place where we're forgiven 耳を塞いでも 叫び続けるから We can go to the place where we get freedom 羽根を失くしても私は飛べるから |

Was I unable to hear even the voice of salvation because I was so violently struggling? Each time someone’s lips move, my skin changes color. In the midst of being crushed by nausea, I touch the soft palm of your hand. I beg you, so that all these perfect things don’t spill all over the place... We can go to the place where we're forgiven. Because even if I cover my ears, it keeps calling. We can go to the place where we get freedom. Because even if I lose my wings, I will fly. While being swallowed up by blind days, I feared the voice that called out to me. I beg you, before all these shining things completely invade us... We can go to the place where we're forgiven. Because I’m searching for what I lost. We can go to the place where we get freedom. Because my skin can remember hot things. We can go to the place where we're forgiven. Because even if I cover my ears, it keeps calling. We can go to the place where we get freedom. Because even if I lose my wings, I will fly. |
