- From the PC Game Kara no Shoujo(Girl from the Shell)
震え届く風 頬撫でゆく
furue todoku kaze hoo nadeyuku
The wind continues to reach out and caress my face with its trembling touch
静寂に抗う 赤子のように
seijaku ni aragau akago no youni
Like the silent struggle of a child’s hopes
抱え込み離さなかった
kakaekomi hanasanakatta
Clutching tightly to something that’s been released
籠は容易く崩れ去る
kago ha tayasuku kuzuresaru
The cage crumbles so easily
限られた時間(とき)と空間(はざま)をゆく
kagirareta toki to hazama wo yuku
This limited time and space continue to run their course
瑠璃の鳥 示した星の兆し
ruri no tori shimeshita hoshi no kizashi
Azure Bird, the omen that revealed the guiding star
月を背にした暗闇さえも
tsuki wo se ni shita kurayami sae mo
Though the moon has its back to the darkness
いとおしく思える
itooshiku omoeru
It is nonetheless lovely
罅(ひび)割れ欠けていく
hibi warekaketeiku
Cracks begin to appear
歪んだ糸模様
yuganda ito moyou
Their lines forming a warped pattern
届かない叫びを
todokanai sakebi wo
A cry that could not be heard
この胸に押さえて
kono mune ni osaete
Has captured this heart of mine
翳(かざ)した手のひら すり抜けていく
kazashita tenohira surinuketeiku
I no longer remember what it was
思い出せもしない
omoidase mo shinai
that slipped from my outstretched hand
打ち棄てた身体 迷いの中
uchisuteta karada mayoi no naka
In the midst of confusion came a sudden blow to my abandoned self
漂い辿り着くのは 途切れた軌跡
tadayoi tadoritsuku no ha togireta kiseki
The unending cycle of my aimless stumbling was interrupted
明ける空を忌み 影落とす者
akeru sora wo imi kageotosu mono
Detesting the dawn sky, this person who had come out from the darkness
望むべきものは ここに無いと
nozomubeki mono ha koko ni nai to
They had no fervent wishes whatsoever
踏み出した土は脆くて
fumidashita tsuchi ha morokute
Stepping forth onto brittle soil
孤独のままに 堕ちてゆく
kodoku no mama ni ochiteyuku
They began to gradually leave their isolation
閉ざされた世界を 破り逃れるなら
tozasareta sekai wo yaburi nogareru nara
If they truly wished to escape their locked world
儚い願いは 叶えられるはずもない
