Give me a Ray of light!

Finally I graduated from NTU!!! After 4 years of slow education process, I felt relieved. People always tell me treasure your student life but I think otherwise.. Having a job for money is more important for me as I always like to buy things. Being a student is very poor so onwards towards work! Now going to apply to Sony or Avex and work towards my dream job in Japan.

This song is a theme song to Full Metal Alchemist anime which my friend is watching faithfully... so I decided to sing it...

At first I thought it is an easy song but after much training I am able to this hard song. the hard part is to get the words right as they are like a tongue twister.





RAY OF LIGHT

RAY OF LIGHT (2010)

Romanji:

Ano hi kara zutto
Nakanai to kimete kita kedo
Itami wo kasanetemo
Nanika wo yurusezu ni ita

Mou modorenai ikutsumono hibi
Boku wa mada nanimo dekizuni
Kimi no ita kioku no kakera
Mata hitotsu kiete yuku

Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Kono koe ga itsuka todoku you ni
Arukitsuzukete kaze ga yandara
Kimi wo sagashite sora miageru yo
Yoake no saki ni hikari ga sasu yo

Kono mune no dokoka
Tojikometeta hazu no koto mo
Ima nara sukoshi dake
Wakaru you na kigashita

Dokomademo tsuzuiteku michi
Atarashii keshiki ga fuetemo
Kimi wa mou dokonimo inai
Tada toki ga sugiru dake

Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Yatto mitsuketa omoi no tame ni
Namida no tsubu ga ame ni nattemo
Kawarazu hikaru hoshi miageru yo
Nagareru kumo ga irozuiteku yo

Kigatsukeba boku wa mata
Otono no natteku kedo
Imademo wakaranai koto bakari de
Soredemo tooi sora no kanata ni wa
Tsunagaru to shinjiteru

Kyou yori motto tsuyoku naritai
Kono koe ga kimi ni todoku you ni
Arukitsuzukete kaze ga yandara
Kotae sagashite sora miageru yo

Yoake no saki ni hikari ga sasu yo

Niji ga kakaru yo

Kanji:

あの日からずっと
泣かないと決めてきたけど
痛みを重ねても
何かを許せずにいた

もう戻れない いくつもの日々
僕はまだ何もできずに
君のいた記憶の破片
またひとつ消えてゆく

今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
この声がいつか届くように

歩き続けて
風が止んだら
君を探して空見上げるよ
夜明けの先に光が射すよ

この胸のどこか
閉じ込めてたはずのことも
今なら少しだけ
わかるような気がした

どこまでも続いてく道
新しい景色が増えても
君はもうどこにもいない
ただ時が過ぎるだけ

今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
やっと見つけた想いのために

涙の粒が
雨になっても
変わらず光る星見上げるよ
流れる雲が色付いてくよ

気がつけば僕はまた
大人になってくけど
今でもわからないことばかりで
それでも遠い空の彼方には
繋がると信じてる

今日よりもっと
強くなりたい
この声が君に届くように

歩き続けて
風が止んだら
答えさがして空見上げるよ
夜明けの先に光が射すよ
虹がかかるよ


English:

That day I decided
That I would never again return to mourn
But the pain was accumulated
There was something I could not lose

All those days, and you did not come back
And I am still unable to do anything
These fragments of memories
Again, one by one, are disappearing

I want to become stronger than I am today
To be able to reach you with this voice someday
Even if the wind does not stop, I will continue walking
I'll look skyward
At the end of the sunrise, a ray of light shines

Sometimes this heart seems
It was meant to be shut
Now I feel as if
I understand a little more now

The road continues to anywhere
And although I see many new landscapes
You are not in any of them
Time is passing as I follow

I want to become stronger than I am today
To finally find love
Although my tears become rain
Do not change the brightness of the star I see in the sky

Gradually, the clouds change color
And today, many do not understand
Until the picture is bigger
Although I am aware of it

Even so, I trust in that distant sky
We're universal

I want to become stronger than I am today
To be able to reach you with this voice someday
Even if the wind does not stop, I'll continue walking
Seeking answers in the sky
I'll find you looking skyward
And a rainbow
