B'z - PRAY
I usually don't translate song into English, but sometimes they just doesn't sound good in Italian. PRAY is one of those cases.
I like this song so much, and I like its English translation, so I decided it'd be a waste to leave it hidden somewhere in my hard disk. So here we go...
Kanji
肩ならべて 生まれた町の空ながめて きみといま
想像したより冷たい風に 生きる心地 つかんでる
きみがいる この幸運 胸がふるえる
つながっている ひとつの大地の上
どんな涙も どんな歓喜の声も
耳をすませば 聞こえてくるだろう
今日もどこかで だれかが だれかのために祈る
あの鳥からも見えてるだろうか きみの肩に手をまわした
変わってゆくよ そっと人知れず 山のかたち 川の流れ
あの人たちは みんな 元気だろうか
つながっている ひとつの大地の上
かぞえきれない 人々の日常
希望に湧く町 絶望に泣く友
今日もどこかで だれかが だれかのために祈る
I will pray for you
この喜びと感動を あの人に
その悲しみと痛みを このボクに
分け与えられる日が やってくるだろうか
そこで初めて 一歩前に進める
つながっている ひとつの大地の上
どんな涙も どんな歓喜の声も
耳をすませば 聞こえてくるだろう
今日もどこかで だれかが だれかのために祈る
ほとばしる この想い だれかのために
あふれだす この響き だれかのために
Romaji
kata narabete umareta machi no sora nagamete kimi to ima
sōzōshita yori tsumetai kaze ni ikiru kokochi tsukanderu
kimi ga iru kono kōun mune ga furueru
tsunagatte iru hitotsu no daichi no ue
donna namida mo donna kanki mo no koe mo
mimi o sumaseba kikoetekuru darō
kyō mo dokoka de dareka ga dareka no tame ni inoru
ano tori kara mo mieteru darōka kimi no kata ni te o mawashita
kawatteyuku yo sotto hitoshirezu yama no katachi kawa o nagare
ano hitotachi wa minna genki darōka
tsunagatte iru hitotsu no daichi no ue
kazoekirenai hitobito no nichijō
kibō ni waku machi zetsubō ni naku tomo
kyō mo dokoka de dareka ga dareka no tame ni inoru
I will pray for you
kono yorokobi to kandō ano hito ni
sono kanashimi to itami o kono boku ni
wakeataeru hi ga yattekuru darōka
soko de hajimete ippo mae ni susumeru
tsunagatte iru hitotsu no daichi no ue
donna namida mo donna kanki mo no koe mo
mimi o sumaseba kikoetekuru darō
kyō mo dokoka de dareka ga dareka no tame ni inoru
hotobashiru kono omoi dareka no tame ni
afuredasu kono hibiki dareka no tame ni
Translation
shoulder on shoulder, I'll gaze with you at the sky of this newborn town
I'll catch this living sensation, into a wind cooler than I'd imagined
you're here, and this happiness shake my heart
we're connected together over this one vast land
what kind of tears, what kind of joyful voices
if you prick up your ears, than maybe you could hear them
even today, somewhere, someone is praying for someone else's sake
I wonder if that bird, too, saw me surrounding your shoulders
quietly, secretly, mountains's shapes and rivers's streams keep changing
I wonder if all this people, everyone of them, will be okay
we're connected together over this one vast land
countless ordinary days of common people
towns surged from hope, companions who cry in despair
even today, somewhere, someone is praying for someone else's sake
I will pray for you
this joy and emotion are within that person
that sadness and sorrow are within this me
I wonder if I'll face the days that are given to us
so for the first time I can make a step ahead
we're connected together over this one vast land
what kind of tears, what kind of joyful voices
if you prick up your ears, than maybe you could hear them
even today, somewhere, someone is praying for someone else's sake
this feeling wells up for someone's sake
this echoing overflows for someone's sake
