石井 妥師 – Darker Than Black (Can You Fly)
Ishii Yasushi – Darker Than Black (Can You Fly)
Kanji/Translation
Can you fly? あの空に輝く Ziggy Star
壊れた夢 消えた愛 取り戻して Fly Away
Can you try? 憎しみを慈悲へと変えて
乾いた胸を濡らす Darker Than Black
———————————
Can you fly? Ziggy Star shining in the sky
Claiming back my broken dreams and lost love Fly away
Can you try? Changing this hate into compassion
Soaking up my dry chest Darker than Black
虚ろに光る 高層の窓 果たせぬままの約束
無駄に流れた 血と涙に染まる 哀しいゲーム
—————————–
From hollow spaces the windows on the skyscrapers shine, a promise that remains unfulfilled
Dyed in the pointlessly flowing blood and tears, this sad Game
Oh Where is my friend? 一人夜空を眺めれば
星空に濡れる君のSweet Smile
——————————–
Oh, Where is my friend? If I Gaze at the night sky alone
Swaying in the starlight is your Sweet smile
Can you hear? あの空に轟く Ziggy Sound
穢れた恋 潜む罠 身をかわして Go Away
Can you try? 立ちはだかる壁を壊して
旅立つ時を刻む Darker Than Black
—————————–
Can you hear? The Ziggy Sound roaring in the sky
Dodging the stained love and hidden traps Go Away
Can you try? Break the wall that is blocking your way
The time to begin is ticking by Darker than Black
廃墟に光る一厘の花 見覚えのある光景
不意に流れた 後悔に染まる 哀しいゲーム
—————————-
From the ruins a single flower shines, a scene I know by sight
Dyed in the suddenly flowing regret, this sad Game
Oh Where is my friend? あの日 切れた赤いリボン
夜の風に吹かれて Swinging
———————
Oh Where is my friend? The red ribbon that was cut on that day
Is blowing in the night wind Swinging
Can you fly? あの空に輝く Ziggy Star
壊れた夢 消えた愛 取り戻して Fly Away
Can you try? 憎しみを慈悲へと変えて
乾いた胸を濡らす Darker Than Black
———————————
Can you fly? Ziggy Star shining in the sky
Claiming back my broken dreams and lost love Fly away
Can you try? Changing this hate into compassion
Soaking up my dry chest Darker than Black
Can you fly? never I don’t try
いつでもCry Away
Can you fly? never I don’t die
I don’t gonna think so never cry
——————————–
Can you fly? never I don’t try
No matter when Cry Away
Can you fly? never I don’t die
I don’t gonna think so never cry
Can you hear? あの空に轟く Ziggy Sound
穢れた恋 潜む罠 身をかわして Go Away
Can you try? 立ちはだかる壁を壊して
旅立つ時を刻む Darker Than Black
—————————–
Can you hear? The Ziggy Sound roaring in the sky
Dodging the stained love and hidden traps Go Away
Can you try? Break the wall that is blocking your way
The time to begin is ticking by Darker than Black
Romaji
Can you fly? ano sora ni kagayaku Ziggy Star
kowareta yume kieta ai torimodoshite Fly away
Can you try? nikushimi wo jihi e to kaete
kawaita mune wo nurasu Darker than Black
utsuro ni hikaru kousou no mado hatasenu mama no yakusoku
muda ni nagareta chi to namida ni somaru kanashii GEEMU
Oh, Where is my friend? hitori yozora wo nagamereba
hoshikage ni yureru kimi no Sweet smile
Can you hear? ano sora ni todoroku Ziggy Sound
kegareta koi hizomu wana mi wo kawashite Go Away
Can you try? tachihadakaru kabe wo kowashite
tabidatsu toki wo kizamu Darker than Black
haikyo ni hikaru ichirin no hana mioboe no aru koukei
fui ni nagareta koukai ni somaru kanashii GEEMU
Oh Where is my friend? ano hi kireta akai RIBON
yoru no kaze ni fukarete Swinging
Can you fly? ano sora ni kagayaku Ziggy Star
kowareta yume kieta ai torimodoshite Fly away
Can you try? nikushimi wo jihi e to kaete
kawaita mune wo nurasu Darker than Black
Can you fly? never I don’t try
itsudemo Cry Away
Can you fly? never I don’t die
I don’t gonna think so never cry
Can you hear? ano sora ni todoroku Ziggy Sound
kegareta koi hizomu wana mi wo kawashite Go Away
Can you try? tachihadakaru kabe wo kowashite
tabidatsu toki wo kizamu Darker than Black
found the lyrics to the muffled and soft part after the instrumental!
Can you fly? never I don't try
itsudemo Cry Away
Can you fly? never I don't die
I don't gonna think so never cry
that's really interesting, i might have missed it, i'll check it out as soon as i can
Somewhere at the end the chorus changes, it's preceeded by drums (3min 07seconds) and it sounds like it is completely in english. Is it me or is that part not listed in these lyrics?
I'm at work, so I can't type out the japanese, but I'll use the romanji:
———
Can you fly? ano sora ni kagayaku Ziggy Star
kowareta yume kieta ai torimodoshite Fly away
Can you try? nikushimi wo jihi e to kaete
kawaita mune wo nurasu Darker than Black
(My best Guess
—Can you fly, never ever try, its you gonna cry already.
can you fly, never ever die, I'm gonna sing so never cry.—-)
Can you hear? ano sora ni todoroku Ziggy Sound
kegareta koi hizomu wana mi wo kawashite Go Way
Can you try? tachihadakaru kabe wo kowashite
tabidatsu toki wo kizamu Darker than Black

Er, sorry for triple posting, but clarification: The song is actually track 32 – it's just that that listing includes the episodes on the DVD, so it appears on the page as track 34.
Whoops, the link didn't appear –

Nice translation. Thanks for this.
About the title – it's "DARKER THAN BLACK". The song is included on this CD as track 34.
Hi, someone could tel me where is there possible to download this song please ? TY !
ah, i think you're right =D thanks!
now we just have to wait for the title
It's the same artist as "Jesus Cloud".
Same for the Hellsing songs.
It's gotta be Yasushi Ishii .
indeed some of the english words in the lyrics seem quite out of place but i love the music too =]
Thank you so much. The music is awesome, although the lyric is nonsense. I hope the music is being soon launched full.
