I’ve been learning Japanese for a while, and I decided to check how my progress was going. Of course I don’t know that much kanji yet, and I had the help of a dictionary.
This is the song “SECRET AMBITION” by: Mizuki Nana, it’s the OP for “Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha – StikerS.” It’s a half-assed translation {which is an excuse to say that there are some errors ^_^’ }
REVISED January 1 2009.
Song: SECRET AMBITION
Album: SECRET AMBITION
Artist: Mizuki Nana
Other: This is the first Opening song for Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha SrikerS anime.
Mune ni yadoru atsuki suisei ha hajimari no kodou he…
The warm comet lodging in my chest goes towards the beginning’s beat.
Furueru yubi nigirishimete shizuka ni negai wo kometa
Uzukumatte nigerarenai kako kara
Tobidashitai yo
My trembling fingers quietly hold a wish,
Cowering because of the inescapable past,
Wanting to runaway
Tatoe kiesou na wazuka na hikari datte
Oikaketai ano hoshi no you ni
Subete ukeire sou, dokomademo takaku…
Even if it’s a small, fading light
I want to chase after it, as if it was a star.
Accepting everything, no matter how high
Ginga wo mau –tenshi no sasayaki–
Tashika na kioku wo tadotte
Korekara kitto umareteku shinjitsu he no TOBIRA
Donna tsumetai kurayami ni shibarareteitemo
Boku wa shiritai kara kesshite tomaranai
Dancing in the Galaxy are the -Whispers of an Angel-
Following these certain memories
After this, surely the door to the truth will be born
No matter what kind of cold darkness I’m surrounded with,
I want to know because nothing will stop me.
“Nakusu mono wa nanimo nai” to chiisana kata wo dakishime
Kizutsuketeta itakutemo tsurakutemo modoranai kara…
“There’s nothing to lose” embrace the small shoulder closely.
Even if you’re hurt, even if it hurts or is unbearable, it won’t come back.
Ima wo kaetakute muchuu de kakenuketeta
Demo, kidzukeba “Daijoubu da yo”
Itsudemo kimi ga tonari de waratteta
I want to change myself after running through this trance.
But, I realize that “It will be alright”
because you always laughed next to me.
Sora ni ochita tsurugi no shizuku ni
Mihatenu omoi wo kasanete
Soba ni aru yasashii ondo ni mada furerarezuita
Sono yokogao ni hontou ha kokoro hodokitai
Boku wa shitteru kara kesshite hanarenai
What fell into the sky, into the Moon Sword’s droplet,
were these overlapping feelings I didn’t see through the end.
Next to you is a tender warmth I have yet to touch.
In that profile of yours, the truth unlocks my heart.
I know, I’ll never let go.
Mamoritai to hajimete kanjita
Ashita he to tsudzuku kono basho
Mai agare bokutachi no yume hitori ja nai…
I don’t forget
“I want to protect this”. I started to feel that.
“Towards tomorrow!” I continue from this place.
Our dream to soar isn’t ours alone…
I don’t forget.
–Tenshi no sasayaki–
Tashika na kioku wo tadotte
Korekara kitto umareteku shinjitsu he no TOBIRA
Donna tsumetai kurayami ni shibarareteitemo
Boku wa shiritai kara kesshite tomaranai
-Whisper of an Angel-
Following these certain memories
After this, surely the door to the truth will be born
No matter what kind of cold darkness I’m surrounded with,
I want to know because nothing will stop me.
