God knows…
I finally translated “God knows…“, the insert song of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. I feel that the lyrics really suit Haruhi and I am not sure if the feel is still there after my translation. Well, hope you like it.
God knows…
Vocal: Haruhi Suzumiya (Aya Hirano)
I run past others with a parched heart.
Sorry, I can’t do anything else.
You won’t even let me
Share our pain together.
To live on without tarnish,
I face your back and head out without looking back
on the lonely rail
I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless…
This warming affection that reaches me,
It melts my reality and roams my heart.
I don’t need a reason for wanting to meet you,
Just my overflowing feelings, Lovin’ you
For now, let’s paint a beautiful dream
And chase after
for your lonely heart
Stop it, it’s not like you to lie.
Look at my eyes and let’s talk about our future.
I am prepared,
Even if the future is bleak,
I might be able to change destiny if I become stronger.
But for my wish to come true,
Everything is God knows…
You are here, I am here.
Everyone else has disappeared.
While we paint the beauty of this fleeting dream,
We trace out the lines of our scars.
That’s why I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless…

God knows…
歌:涼宮ハルヒ(C.V.平野綾)
渇いた心で駆け抜ける
ごめんね何もできなくて
痛みを分かち合うことさえ
あなたは許してくれない
無垢に生きるために振り向かず
背中向けて 去ってしまう
on the lonely rail
私ついていくよ
どんな辛い世界の闇の中でさえ
きっとあなたは輝いて
超える未来の果て
弱さ故に魂こわされぬように
my way 重なるよ
いまふたりに God bless…
届けて熱くなる想いは
現実溶かしてさまよう
会いたい気持ちに理由はない
あなたへあふれだす Lovin’ you
せめて美しい夢だけを
描きながら 追いかけよう
for your lonely heart
やめて嘘はあなたらしくないよ
目を見てこれからのことを話そう
私覚悟してる
暗い未来だって
強くなって運命変えられるかもね
my wish かなえたいのに
すべては God knows…
あなたがいて 私がいて
ほかの人は消えてしまった
淡い夢の美しさを描きながら
傷跡なぞる
だから私ついていくよ
どんな辛い世界の闇の中でさえ
きっとあなたは輝いて
超える未来の果て
弱さ故に魂こわされぬように
my way 重なるよ
いまふたりに God bless…

I think your version does this song justice.

Y’know, I originally discovered your blog because of your lyrics translations. It’s been a while since you’ve done one, but I see you’re still as good as ever :).
Do “LOST MY MUSIC” as well :).

Gah you make my lyrics translations look like KIDDY GRADE.
August 10th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
LoL! Poor TJ. ANYWAY, TRANSLATE Lost My Music too!!!

just wondering…
wouldn’t “subete wa God Knows” be better translated as “God knows everything” ?
August 11th, 2006 at 6:49 am
Well it’s more like “everything is up to god” since it’s linked to the previous line. But I like to keep the English that’s already there.

[...] DarkMirage recently posted the lyrics to “God Knows,” but I haven’t really seen much in terms of guitar tab. I’ve seen a couple forum threads about the tab for “God Knows.” Both had tabs available, but some went down. Plus some were incomplete or only had the intro riff. [...]

Hey…I pasted the translations and lyrics and all on an entry for my xanga and if you have any problems with that I will remove it off my post. I hope it’s not a problem with you =/. I think my email will be shown to you when I post, so email me if there’s a problem.
