Sayumi Michishige - My Answer(わたしの答え）
A song from Sayumi Michishige’s show SAYUMINGLANDOLL 〜Saisei〜 I previously translated true love true real love from it, but this is probably my absolute favourite, and one of my favourite songs from the year in general. Can be found on youtube if you search well
What’s the difference between Living and dying Neither changes anything You just exist somewhere
The things I’ve dreamt The things I’ve thought of Are a lot alike. They lack shape Intangible; They don’t exist here
There’s not many differences between the two of us We’re not identical, but we’ll both return to the same place in the end How many ages have we traversed? How many endings have we witnessed? What I’ve come to know Is that I still don’t know anything Here. Right here. I’ll become stronger Here. Right here. I’ll live life to the fullest That’s my answer The far future and the past Depending on from where you see it are a lot alike. Wondrously so. The difference is they’re not the now They don’t take place here Because our souls would not separate, you and me Were able to meet here again
As one world goes to rest Another one wakes up What I hold here in my palm Is the everything called “nothing”
Where? Just where is life drifting towards? Where? Just where will this song reach? Embrace its words
How many ages have we traversed? How many endings have we witnessed? What I’ve come to know Is that I still don’t know anything Here. Right here. I’ll become stronger Here. Right here. I’ll live life to the fullest That’s my answer
