Ouroboros Theme Song, "Sakura", by Arashi

[barbosa2007.livejournal.com]

In case you haven't heard, Arashi is singing the theme song to TBS's new drama starring Ikuta Toma and Oguri Shun, Ouroboros!

I call this translation a stab in the dark because I'm pretty bad with interpreting lyrics. Well, I had fun giving a shot though!



Ouroboros Theme Song - SAKURA

The warmth in the voice I recalled

If I looked back, it’s as if I was breathing

As the flowers bloomed, the sky hurried to bring the light of dawn

So tell me why

There’s something beyond that light

But keep advancing in your dream, wanting to touch it

Open your heart

You can feel the love right there beside you

We’re bonded by kindness

If we could change the world someday

We’d be born again somewhere else

Turning the gift of the present into the future we were entrusted with

And we’ll still keep on searching for something tomorrow

Throwing off what hinders countless times

And tell of a new beginning

Always, it shall resound in this heart always

Should there be only one irreplaceable person in your life

You don’t have to be afraid of getting hurt at all

I wonder why we live

In this world, light and darkness draw closer

Wishes, dreams and even solitude

It’s but a stroke of luck

If we could change the world someday

We’d be born again somewhere else

Turning the gift of the present into the future we were entrusted with

And we’ll still keep on searching for something tomorrow

Throwing off what hinders countless times

And tell of a new beginning

Always, it shall resound in this heart always

Catch the sneak preview of the song here. You'd have to do the equivalent of a ear-squint because there's so much talking.

This song is amazing! Love that it sounds like their usual style, and yet it doesn't. I can't really describe it perfectly in words, but the song is beautiful. ♥
