恐れはないよ その剣 導き出すその意味・・・

osore wa nai yo sono tsurugi michibiki dasu sono imi…

I have no fear – The meaning derived by your sword…

何度でも浮かんで消える
その闇に潜む Word
負の波動が 聖覆う

nando demo ukande kieru
sono yami ni hisomu word
fu no hadou ga hijiri oou

Over and over, it appears and fades away
The word lurking in the darkness
Negative waves cover the holy

I can’t be defeated now たとえ透明でも
so… 未来信じて染め上げた

I can’t be defeated now tatoe toumei demo
so… mirai shinjite some ageta

I can’t be defeated now, so even if it was transparent…
Believing in the future, I coloured it

振り向かないで 辛くても
溢れ落ちる涙は
君を守る 忘れかけの 『力』目覚める

furi mukanai de tsurakutemo
afure ochiru namida wa
kimi o mamoru wasure kake no『chikara』mezameru

Even if it’s harsh, don’t turn away
The overflowing tears will protect you
Your nearly forgotten ‘power’ will awaken

涙を拭いて その痛み
辿り着くその先に
Waited glorydays,It keeps shining.
この世界変えて!

namida o fuite sono itami
tadori tsuku sono saki ni
Waited glorydays,It keeps shining.
kono sekai kaete!

Wipe away your tears
Once you reach the end of your pain
the glory days you waited for will keep shining
Change the world!

May I believe?
その羽根 休める事が出来るなら・・・

May I believe?
sono hane yasumeru koto ga dekiru nara…

May I believe?
If you’re able to rest your wings…

君を守るよ 恐れない
戦うことを決めた
翼を 広げて 強く強く高く!

kimi o mamoru yo osorenai
tatakau koto o kimeta
tsubasa o hirokete tsuyoku tsuyoku takaku!

I’ll protect you – I have no fear
I’ve decided to fight
Spread your wings, stronger, stronger, and higher!

絆を信じてる
受け止めて現実を
Waited glorydays,It keeps shining.
この時を超えて

kizuna o shinjiteru
uke tomete genjitsu o
Waited glorydays,It keeps shining.
kono toki o koete

I believe in our bond
Accept reality,
the glory days you waited for will keep shining
Transcend this moment

変えてみせるこの未来
明日を信じ超えてゆけ!

kaete miseru kono mirai
ashita o shinjite koete yuke!

We will change this future
Believe in tomorrow and go beyond!

shining sky・・・
trooper’s eye・・・

shining sky・・・
trooper’s eye・・・

Shining sky…
Trooper’s eye…

Glorias war

Commissioned translation. Heisei era music really does have its own distinct feeling. 

Note: Although I decided on “Avoiding repentance, ” the dearth of kanji makes 「懺悔をかわし」 vague. It could also mean “exchanging confessions.” I imagine this was intentional.

透き通る 瞳に今
数え切れぬ 願いを込めて
空に 高く手をかざした

suki tooru hitomi ni ima
kazoe kirenu negai o komete
sora ni takaku te o kazashita

With countless wishes
imbued in my clear eyes right now
I raised my hand high into the sky

蘇る記憶に 鮮やかな真紅の香り
またこの身を 血で洗い流した
眠り続ける君 どんな夢を描いた?
壊れゆくリアルのカケラが踊る

yomigaeru kioku ni azayaka na shinku no kaori
mata kono mi o chi de arai nagashita
nemuri tsudzukeru kimi donna yume o egaita?
koware yuku riaru no kakera ga odoru

A fresh scent of crimson comes with my reviving memories
Once again, I washed my body in blood
What dreams did you envision as you continue to sleep?
The fragments of a crumbling reality dance

天空を見上げるだけの眼差しが祈るよに
懺悔をかわし 彼方の地へ

sora o mi ageru dake no manazashi ga inoru yo ni
zange o kawashi kanata no chi e

As if praying, my gaze only looks up to the heavens
Avoiding repentance, I head towards distant lands

モザイクの リアルに今
数え切れぬ 血で染めて
空に 高くかざした 十字がひとつ

mozaiku no riaru ni ima
kazoe kirenu namida de somete
sora ni takaku kazashita juuji ga hitotsu

Stain this mosaic of reality
with countless tears of blood right now
There’s only one cross held up high in the sky

壊れゆく リアルに夢
言葉を 一つ綴って
流れゆく 時の glorious

koware yuku riaru ni yume
koto no ha o hitotsu ni tsudzutte
nagare yuku toki no glorious

Spell out the single word ‘dream’
in this collapsing reality
The gloriousness of the flow of time

繰り返す過ち 鮮やかな記憶の懺悔
罪をまとい祈り続ける人
眠りが醒めた君 どんな夢を綴った?
壊されたリアルのカケラが刺さる

kuri kaesu ayamachi azayaka na kioku no zange
tsumi o matoi inoru tsudzukeru hito
nemuri ga sameta kimi donna yume o tsudzutta?
kowasareta riaru no kakera ga sasaru

Mistakes repeat, people continue to pray,
clad in sin, confessing vivid memories
What dream did you write of, now that you’re awake
The fragments of a broken reality sting

天空を見続けていたこの腕が
偽りの血を流し罪で染まる

sora o mi tsudzuketeita kono ude ga
itsuwari no namida o nagashi tsumi de somaru

My arms that kept gazing at the heavens
shed fake tears of blood and become stained with sin

モノクロの 映像に今
数え切れぬ真紅で染めて
空の緋も傾いて 黒へと染まる

monokuro no bideo ni ima
kazoe kirenu shinku de somete
sora no hi mo katamuite kuro e to somaru

Stain this monochrome video
with countless crimsons right now
Even the scarlet in the sky sets and becomes steeped in black

ひとかけら リアルに見た
真実の 祈りの一節
かすかに流れたGloria

hitokakera riaru ni mita
shinjitsu no inori no hitosetsu
kasuka ni nagareta Gloria

It’s a single verse of truth, of prayer
seen in a single fragment of reality
The faintly heard Gloria

透き通る 瞳に今
数え切れぬ 願いを込めて
空に 高くかざした 十字を胸に

suki tooru hitomi ni ima
kazoe kirenu negai o komete
sora ni takaku kazashita juuji o mune ni

With countless wishes
imbued in my clear eyes right now
The cross I held high in the sky is in my heart

モザイクの リアルに今
数え切れぬ 涙で染めて
空に 高くかざした 十字を投げて

mozaiku no riaru ni ima
kazoe kirenu namida de somete
sora ni takaku kazashita juuji o nagete

Stain this mosaic of reality
with countless tears right now
Throwing the cross I held high in the sky

鮮やかな リアルの夢
ありがとう 君の片隅に
かすかに聞こえたGloria
この祈り永遠へglorious
the unprayer war

azayaka na riaru no yume
arigatou kimi no katasumi ni
kasuka ni kikoeta Gloria
kono inori towa e glorious
the unprayer war

It’s a dream of a vivid reality
Thank you – Tucked away inside of you,
I faintly heard Gloria
This prayer, for eternity glorious
The unprayer war
