Kalafina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつか君が瞳に灯す愛の光が
時を超えて
滅び急ぐ世界の夢を
確かに一つ壊すだろう

躊躇いを飲み干して
君が望むモノは何?
こんな欲深い憧れの行方に
儚い明日はあるの?

子供の頃夢に見てた
古の魔法のように
闇さえ砕く力で
微笑む君に会いたい
怯えるこの手の中には
手折られた花の勇気
想いだけが頼る全て
光を呼び覚ます 願い

いつか君も誰かの為に
強い力を望むのだろう
愛が胸を捉えた夜に
未知の言葉が生まれて来る

迷わずに行けるなら
心が砕けてもいいわ
いつも目の前の哀しみに
立ち向かう為の
呪文が欲しい

君はまだ夢見る記憶
私は眠らない明日
二人が出会う奇跡を
勝ち取る為に進むわ
怯えるこの手の中には
手折られた花の刃
想いだけが生きる全て
心に振りかざす 願い

囚われた太陽の輝く
不思議の国の本が好きだった頃
願いはきっと叶うと
教えるお伽噺を 信じた (光と影の中)

静かに咲き乱れていた
古の魔法優しく
世界を変える力が
その手にあると囁く
終わらない夢を見よう
君と行く時の中で
想いだけが生きる全て
命を作るのは 願い

I love that this is basically a Homura character song—the lyrics are so good. T-T Here's my translation:

Someday the light of love
Burning in your eyes will transcend time
And surely only bring destruction to
This dream of a world hurrying toward ruin
Swallow up your hesitation
What is it that you wish for?
Is there some fleeting future that would
Fulfill this greedy yearning?

Like the ancient magic
I saw in my childhood dreams
With a power that shatters even darkness
I want to reach your smiling face
Clutched within these frightened hands
Is the courage of lost innocence*
My aspiration is all that I can rely on
A wish
That calls out to wake that light

Someday you too will desire that power
For someone else's sake
One night, when your heart is seized by love
Those nebulous words will emerge
If I can proceed unwaveringly
It’s fine if my heart breaks
I want a spell to fight against
The tragedy that’s
Always before my eyes

You, a still-dreaming memory
Me, a sleepless tomorrow
I will continue on to fight toward
The miracle of our meeting
Clutched within these frightened hands
Is the blade of lost innocence*
My aspiration is all that I live for
A wish
Brandished by my heart

That shining time of captured sunlight
When I loved that book about Wonderland
I used to believe in those fairytales
That tell us dreams always come true
(Within the light and the shadow)

Quietly disturbed from blooming
The ancient magic gently whispers
That the power to change the world
Is in your hands
Let’s live in an unending dream
Of the time I’ll spend with you
My aspiration is all that I live for
To build that life
Is my wish

*Lit. “of a plucked flower,” but the significance is less clear in English when directly translated

Translation is more of an art than a science, so my interpretation might differ slightly from others. Enjoy!

LYRICS (JAP/ENG)


Itsuka kimi ga hitomi ni tomosu
ai no hikari ga
toki wo koete
Horobi isogu sekai no yume wo
tashika ni hitotsu kowasu darou

Someday, the light of love that you set
aflame in your eyes
will transcend time
and surely destroy one dream
of this world that hurries to its ruin.

Tamerai wo nomihoshite
Kimi ga nozomu mono wa nani?
Konna yokubukai akogare no
yukue ni
hakanai ashita wa aru no?

Swallow down your hesitation.
What is it that you wish for?
On the path of greeding
as greedy as this
Will there be a transient tomorrow?

Kodomo no koro yume ni miteta
inishie no mahou no you ni
Yami sae kudaku chikara de
hohoemu kimi ni aitai
Obieru kono te no naka ni wa
taorareta hana no yuuki
Omoi dake ga tayoru subete
Hikari wo yobisamasu
negai........

With power that can break the darkness,
Like ancient magic
what I dreamed of when I was young,
I want to meet you and your smile.
In these frightened hands of mine,
Courage is made of handpicked flowers
My feelings alone are all that I rely upon,
a wish that will awaken
the light.......

Itsuka kimi mo
dareka no tame ni
tsuyoi chikara wo
nozomu no darou
Ai ga mune wo
toraeta yoru ni
Michi no kotoba ga
umarete kuru

Someday, you will also
wish for great power
for the sake of
someone else, I suppose.
In the night when
love captured your heart,
Unknown words
are born.

Mayowazu ni yukeru nara
Kokoro ga kudakete mo
ii wa
Itsumo me no mae no
kanashimi ni
tachimukau tame no
Jumon ga hoshii..........

If I can go on without losing my way,
I don’t mind if my heart is
broken to pieces.
I want a spell
that can let me fight against
the sorrow that is always
in front of my eyes....

Kimi wa mada
yumemiru kioku
Watashi wa nemuranai ashita
Futari ga deau kiseki wo
kachitoru tame ni susumu wa
Obieru kono te
no naka ni wa
Taorareta hana no yaiba
Omoi dake ga ikiru subete
Kokoro ni furikazasu
negai......

You are a memory that
continues to dream.
I am the sleepless tomorrow.
I will move forward in order to attain
the miracle of the two of us meeting.
What I hold in these
frightened hands of mine
is a sword of handpicked flowers.
My feelings alone are all that live,
A wish that I brandish
within my heart......



(MIND-BLOWING VIOLIN AND GUITAR SOLO)..... lml



Torawareta taiyou no kagayaku
Fushigi no kuni no hon ga
suki datta koro......
Negai wa kitto kanau to (kanau to <3)
Oshieru otogibanashi wo
shinjita................... (hikari to kage no naka)

When I liked books about strange lands
illuminated by
captive suns,
I believed the fairy tales that
taught us that wishes would surely
come true (come true <3)
.....(among light and shadow…)

......

Shizuka ni sakimidareteita
Inishie no mahou yasashiku
Sekai wo kaeru chikara ga
Sono te ni aru
to sasayaku
Owaranai yume wo miyou
Kimi to yuku toki no naka de
Omoi dake ga ikiru subete
inochi wo tsukuru no wa
negai....................

Gently,
Magic from ancient times
bloomed wildly in silence.
"The power to change the world
lies in those hands of yours”,
it whispers.
Let us have an unending dream.
During this time I go through with you,
my feelings alone are all that live.
What will create life is
this wish.................

@alexgainsborough4921

Этот день настанет,
Сияющий любовью
Взгляд твой достигнет цели
Время преодолев

Но при этом в мире
Спешащем на погибель,
Одна хотя-бы точно
Где-то умрёт мечта

Нерешительность
Всю до дна испив,
Что загадаешь ты, своим Желанием?

Такое
Долгожданное и желанное,
Хрупкое, неведомое,
«Завтра» настанет ли?

Прямо как в детских наивных былых мечтах
О древний магии, что исполнит всё,
Я улыбнусь и развею даже тьму
Чтобы с тобой мне снова встретится

В руки свои, что дрожат от ужаса
Храбрость возьму я, цветка погибшего
Лишь на чувства свои
Положится могу
Свет пробудить сможет моё
Желание

Ты однажды тоже
Не для себя, но ради
Кого-то пожелаешь
Силу чудесную

Ночью подкрадется,
Захватит твоё сердце
Любовь.
И вдруг родятся слова заветные

Если путь я свой
До конца пройду
Сердце своё мне разбить уж не страшно

Мне нужно Заклинание
Противостоять
Всему тому горю и скорби
Что встали предо мной


Ты лишь во сне ещё помнишь обо мне,
Мне не заснуть в своих мыслях о тебе,
Чтоб воплотить чудо, где мы встретимся,
Я продолжаю идти только вперед…

В руки свои, что дрожат от ужаса
Клинок возьму я, цветка погибшего.
И лишь чувства мои -
Это все, чем живу,
В сердце своем я флаг подниму -
Желание

Когда-то я любила те книги, где солнца свет
Всё время без конца освещает
Страну чудесную.
В наивные детские сказки
Где сбудутся любые желания
Я верила

Среди теней и света
Пышно цветущая, древняя магия
Нежно, тихонечко, на ухо шепчет мне:
"Сила огромная есть в твоих руках,
Можешь ты мир изменить - лишь пожелай!"

Пусть же мечты больше не кончаются
В нашем с тобой, этом новом времени
И лишь чувства мои -
Это всё, чем живу,
Знаю теперь: Жизнь создаёт -
Желание

"Don't forget: Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember, you are not alone."

I cried

@SSDARKPIT

The whole anime got me crying man, I loved it.

@lolasupek9845

Which is this anime? I mean what is the title.

@SSDARKPIT

@Lola Süpek Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica (In English, Puella Magi Madoka Magica). It's a magical girl anime, but since this is the end credits theme, you can probably tell it isn't gonna be light-hearted.

madoka magica's opening theme: cute and happy

@903IDFOLEY

"madoka magica's opening theme: cute and happy"

And then episode 10 comes along when the opening becomes the end theme and you find out the true meaning behind the song...

@corpsekid5951

There's actually a reason for that. The promotion team purposely tricked the viewers with bright colors and light bubbly visuals and sound. They didn't want anyone to know when the curveball was thrown.
Edit: the songs should actually be reversed. Random fact that I forgot to include before.
