The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Translyrics
Original song by Kururingo English translation by Descentsubs
As the early moonlight shines in through my window, I open up my eyes, being startled by a memory Of steady hands that kindly lift me ever higher, A time where I knew that I was loved I spend the daylight watching as my fellow students move Beyond the limits of what I could never hope to reach someday And now another night has come, I know it's useless When tea is all I'm able to brew (turu turulula)*, hey won’t you try to say it now? Calling out with a smile, faceless sorcerer commands Casting spells of dark is impossible for angels of light Well, that’s how the story’s gone since ancient times (ao burabura)* shouldn't ever be spoken aloud Silver wand in your hand draws a circle in the air Only visible beneath the glow of unlit chandeliers The forbidden spell is waiting for someone to break the seal When you first approached I could never have imagined How close we would become, when you had everything I wanted But being by your side was always a reminder Of distances I can't ever cross Standing at the door, my torch casting light on A dinner that was full of ways to keep the bitter cold out Suddenly, I have a vivid recollection Of loneliness held off by that warmth (tura tulurula), hey can't you try to say it now? Burning with a brilliant smile, faceless sorcerer commands Digging deeper, I'm making my way forward treading on unsteady ground Having long since closed my eyes to where we'll end (amo burabura), couldn't but to help say it aloud Looking in those emerald eyes that could barely even cry Though I knew you saw me as nothing more than a pawn beyond the start If I still can be of use to you, I'll make that sacrifice (tura tulalula), ahh (aonobura) Left to pick up the pieces like the failure that I am But despite it all, you have always been the best of sorcerers From the beginning to the end, a loyal friend Crumbling and cracking and collapsing, look at the world I cherish so Swear to me that you will save it, that's my one and only wish For the fate of one who has fallen short of the power that they need Is to give into a quiet sleep, unnoticed and alone... *approximate pronunciation; there’s no ‘official’ translation for the spells because they’re supposed to be forbidden/unspeakable.
