Lyrics

華恋 • 純那 どんな訳があったのか 私は炎に包まれて囚われていた　とても長い間 その炎はもうずっと消えることはない   理解者など誰一人　傍にはいなかったから 向かい風に煽られ心を焼いたの 何を求めているのかはあの星だけが知っている   触れられない未来かは　誰にも分からないでしょう 戦い続けてた　自分自身の影と 何を求めているのかはあの星だけが知っている   幕が開けば未来が　必ず私を迎えに来るはず そう　ここにいてはいけないもっと遠くへ   負けられないここで 負けなんかない 失敗できない 失敗じゃない あなたには分からない あなたのこと分からない　だからこそ   語り合える　二人 夜の闇は 朝が来るまで 深くなる 未来は誰にもある 埋もれていては　それではいけないから 忘れかけていた夢を ah 一人だけで それでも 何もできないあなたに 私だって 負けていられないの | 約束を果たしたい   ひとつの　ひとつの　たったひとつの約束のため あの星だけが未来を知っているのなら 空を見上げてそっと手をのばす

Karen • Junna For what reason Have I been enveloped in flames, when I had been held captive by fear for so long? Now these flames will never extinguish Because I had nobody at my side to support me, My struggle against the headwind set my heart aflame Only the star knows what I desire Nobody can know whether the future I want is unattainable I have fought relentlessly against my own shadow Only the star knows what I desire When the curtains rise, my future will surely come to me I cannot stay here, I must go farther I won't lose here You haven't lost I can't fail It's not a failure You don't understand it I don't understand it, but for that reason,   We can talk it over together The darkness of the night Until morning comes Grows deeper Everybody has a future, And I am obscured by it, but that will not do And dreams they have started to forget, ah You cannot do anything But even so, All by yourself I, too, Cannot afford to lose | Want to fulfill my promise For the sake of one, just one, just a single promise If only the star knows what the future holds, I will quietly look toward the sky and reach out to it Translated by Luna Amatista
