User blog:GreatLogos/Hikari no Aria - Aria of Light - English lyrics translation

Translating is always a little difficult. This song, though, was pretty straightforward. The bridge is a little iffy, but you live and learn, I guess.

Translation
Aria of Light (光のアリア)

Ashihara Yuno (yu-yu)

耳を澄まし聴いて

闇の彼方から

遠く小鳥の歌が響く

嵐止んだことを報せるアリアが

Incline your ear and listen,

From the farthest reaches of darkness,

The sound of a little bird’s song echoes from the distance

It is an aria that tells us the storm has subsided.

窓を開けて

濡れたその瞳上げて

凛と澄み渡る青空は

激しい夜の雨に磨かれた空

Open the windows

And gaze, with your eyes wet with tears,

At the brilliantly clear blue sky,

Shining radiantly after the lachrymal night rain

悲しみを見つめた眼は

優しさ湛(たた)えるよ

未来はあなたを見捨てない

勇気の断片(かけら)があれば

Your eyes, wavering with sorrow,

Are overflowing with kindness

The future surely will not abandon you

If you grasp onto these fragments of hope

光の声が呼んでいる

失くした日々の向こう側

夜明けの声が呼んでいる

あの新しい風のほとり

明日(あす)を照らすものは太陽じゃない

心に在るひとすじの希望だから

ただ　歩き出そう

The voice of light is calling,

At the end of this era of loss

The voice of dawn is calling

Beyond this new gust of wind

It is not the sun that illuminates tomorrow;

Rather, it is the hope hidden within our hearts

And so, let us step forward

やがて道の途中

巡り会う誰か

きっとあなたが手繰り寄せた

天の見えぬ糸が結んだ絆

In this path to the future,

Whomever you come across

Will certainly be someone you’ve chosen yourself

Under the guidance of this formless thread from heaven that ties your bonds together

絶望を拭った眼は

慈しみ　宿してる

微笑みがいつかこぼれ出す

魂(こころ)に温もりあれば

Your eyes from which you’ve wiped away despair

Have a gentle, loving gaze

And in the end, a smile will appear naturally on your face

If you embrace gentleness in your soul

光の声が呼んでいる

溢れる願い　重ねたら

生命(いのち)の声は歌になる

そう　ささやかな祈りでさえ

繋げたなら空に届いてくから

その手をただ携えて

夢に見てた

時代(とき)を開いて

The voice of light is calling

Desiring that unlimited hopes can resound together

The voice of life is becoming a song

Yes, it will connect even faint prayers

And connect them, allowing them to reach Heaven

You only need to hold these hands

To open a new era

As you saw in your dream

いま　誰もみな　輝くために

この世界を選び

産まれてきたのだから

Now, no matter who, for the sake of releasing the light,

has chosen this world,

will be born here

光の声が呼んでいる

失くした日々の向こう側

夜明けの声が呼んでいる

あの新しい風のほとり

明日を照らすものは太陽じゃない

心に在るひとすじの希望だから

さあ　歩き出そう

The voice of light is calling,

At the end of this era of loss

The voice of dawn is calling

Beyond this new gust of wind

It is not the sun that illuminates tomorrow;

Rather, it is the hope hidden within our hearts

And so, let us step forward
