<p class=R>Chigireta Tsubasa</p>
<p class=T>Torn Wings</p>
<p class=R>Sung by: 20th Century<BR>
Translated by: <a href="mailto:Minako@senshigakuen.com?subject=Chigireta_Tsubasa">Mina-P</a><BR>
Version 1.00<BR><BR>

Note: When I first heard this song (performed on a music show in Japan), I was in awe. It's one of the most stunningly beautiful songs I've ever heard, and caused me to fall in love with 20th Century and V6 all over again. Then, translating the song put me in awe again (and, I'll admit, also had me near tears). It's not even so much the storyline of the song, as the fact that the language used is just phenominally beautiful. I did my best to capture at least some of the nuance in my translation. I failed somewhat, so just trust me. This song is BEAUTIFUL.</p><BR>

deau hazu no nai tooi sekai ni<BR>
sugata o kaete kimi ga ita n da</p>
<p class=T>
In a far off world, where we should never be able to meet<BR>
In a different form, you were there</p><BR>

<p class=R>
yatto mitsuketa &nbsp; &nbsp; sugu ni wakatta<BR>
naze? &nbsp; &nbsp; kimi wa kizukanai no?</p>
<p class=T>
I finally found you &nbsp; &nbsp; I knew right away<BR>
Why? &nbsp; &nbsp; Don't you know me?</p><BR>

<p class=R>
zutto zutto sagashiteta &nbsp; &nbsp; tatta hitori toki o koete<BR>
na mo naki hoshi-tachi no densetsu</p>
<p class=T>
I kept searching and searching for you &nbsp; &nbsp; All alone I crossed through time<BR>
The legend of the nameless stars</p><BR>

<p class=R>
tsubasa wa mou iranai &nbsp; &nbsp; tenkuu no tsumibito<BR>
yurusarenu negai o hanateba<BR>
yureru minamo &nbsp; &nbsp; shizundeku &nbsp; &nbsp; gin no tsuki</p>
<p class=T>
I don't need wings any more &nbsp; &nbsp; a sinner from heaven<BR>
If I turn loose unforgivable wishes<BR>
Sinking beneath &nbsp; &nbsp; the surface of trembling water &nbsp; &nbsp; the silver moon</p><BR>

<p class=R>
miagete goran &nbsp; &nbsp; haruka kanata ni<BR>

<p class=T>
Look up there &nbsp; &nbsp; far off in the distance<BR>
There's a never-changing love</p><BR>

<p class=R>
boku wa koko kara mimamoru dake no<BR>
fukai kanashimi seotte &nbsp; &nbsp; ima</p>
<p class=T>
I can only watch over you from here<BR>
I must bear that deep sorrow &nbsp; &nbsp; now</p><BR>

<p class=R>
kibou kara zetsubou e to kazamuki ni sakaraenai<BR>

<p class=T>
I can't withstand the winds running from hope to despair<BR>
May my torn wings &nbsp; &nbsp; carry me to you</p><BR>

<p class=T>
They've never even seen the light &nbsp; &nbsp; those lovers buried deep in the sea<BR>
Let's dive in and realize our deepest desires<BR>
And our vows, torn apart by sky and sea...</p><BR>

<p class=R>
tamashi no kakera &nbsp; &nbsp; tsugi no yo made kagayakitsuzukeru<BR>

nanimo osorenai &nbsp; &nbsp; mayowazu ochiteyuku<BR>
boku wa kimi no moto e</p>
<p class=T>
The shards of your soul &nbsp; &nbsp; continue to sparkle into the next world<BR>
Incessant pain &nbsp; &nbsp; Never-ending loneliness<BR>
Afraid of nothing &nbsp; &nbsp; I fall unerringly<BR>
Towards you</p><BR>

<p class=R>

<p class=T>
I don't need a miracle &nbsp; &nbsp; we are eternal lovers<BR>
Our fate blocks out the horizon<BR>
Even if the rising sun &nbsp; &nbsp; burns these wings</p><BR>

<p class=R>
sora to umi ni hikisakareta chikai o...</p>
<p class=T>
And our vows, torn apart by sky and sea...</p><BR>

<BR><p class=R>Lyrics belong to MIZUE and Avex Trax, taken from the <i>Replay ~Best of 20th Century</i> album, AVCD-17420~1 (disc 1, track 1). Not like the words make any sense if you haven't heard the song, anyway. Romanized and translated into English very badly by Mina-P, with desperately needed help, as always, by Mako-chan.
