An underrated masterpiece from Arcaea.

I did a translation of the lyrics and Japanese phrases that appear in the music video above.

This is my first attempt at an Japanese-to-English song translation. Might be a bit rough, but I hope you enjoy it. And if you enjoyed the translation, please give it a like. Thank you!

[Intro]

<一人でいるのが辛いのなら、私をあなたの人生にいさせてくれませんか？>

<If being alone is painful for you, won't you let me be a part of your life?>

[Verse 1]

十年juunen後goのno私watashiはwaどうdouなるnaruのnoだろうdarou？
本当hontouのno自分jibunをwo見つけmitsukeられるrareruかなkana？

In ten years' time, what will I be?
Will I find a way to live as who I really am?

このkono世界sekaiはwa闇yamiにni染めsome続けるtsuzukeruのno？
ねぇnee、それともsoretomo皆minnaがga笑顔egaoでdeいられるirareru場所bashoにniなるnaruのno？

Will this world remain shrouded in darkness?
Or, everyone can smile, will it become such a place?

[Chorus¹]

人hitoがgaいっぱいippai泣いたらnaitara
人hitoはwa何もかもnanimokamo心kokoroにni閉じ込めてtojikometeしまうshimauならnara

Once someone is drowned in tears
They bottle everything up inside, if so

どうしてdoushiteここkokoでde泣いてるnaiteruのno？
あなたanataはwa戦いたいtatakaitaiでしょうdeshou？

Why are you crying here?
You won't give in, will you?

[Chorus²]

ダンデリオンdanderionがgaひらひらhirahiraとto飛んでtonde行くyuku
神様kamisamaしかshika知らないshiranai未来miraiへe

Dandelions fluttering, flying away
To a future only Heaven knows

風kazeにniどこdokoまでmade吹きfuki飛ばせるtobaseruのno？
どこdokoでdeどうやってdouyatte生きiki続けるtsuzukeruのno？

How far will the wind carry them away? Where and how will they keep on living?

[Verse 2]

いつかitsuka笑顔egaoをwo忘れるwasureruのnoかなkana？
いつかitsuka信じるshinjiruことkotoもmo忘れるwasureruかなkana？

Someday, will we forget how to smile?
Someday even forget how to believe?

全くmattaku気づかないkizukanai振りfuriながらnagara
私達watashitachiがgaこんなkonnaにni小さなchiisana存在sonzaiだからdakara

Pretending not to notice at all
Because we are such a small existence 

[Chorus¹]

人hitoがgaいっぱいippai泣いたらnaitara
人hitoはwa何もかもnanimokamo心kokoroにni閉じ込めてtojikometeしまうshimauならnara

Once someone is drowned in tears
They bottle everything up inside, if so then

どうしてdoushiteここkokoでde泣いてるnaiteruのno？
あなたanataはwa戦いたいtatakaitaiでしょうdeshou？

Why are you crying here?
You won't give in, will you?

[Chorus²]

ダンデリオンdanderionがgaひらひらhirahiraとto飛んでtonde行くyuku
神様kamisamaしかshika知らないshiranai未来miraiへe

Dandelions fluttering, flying away
To a future only Heaven knows

風kazeにniどこdokoまでmade吹きfuki飛ばせるtobaseruのno？
どこdokoでdeどうやってdouyatte生きiki続けるtsuzukeruのno？

How far will the wind carry them away?
Where and how will they keep on living?

[Guitar Solo]

<この指を絡ませたら、遠くにある未来は少しだけでも怖くなくなるのでしょうか？>

<Holding hands with fingers interlocked, will it make the distant future a little less frightening?>

[Chorus²]

ダンデリオンdanderionがgaひらひらhirahiraとto飛んでtonde行くyuku
それsoreはwa風kazeがga決めるkimeruことkotoだけどdakedo

Dandelions dancing, up into the sky
To a place only the wind knows

できるdekiruことkotoはwa必ずkanarazu 見つけるmitsukeruさsa
自分jibunをwo守るmamoruためtame

But we'll surely find what we can do
To protect ourselves

一緒isshoにni咲くsakuよyo、
必ずkanarazu

We'll make it to our superbloom,
We will.

[Outro]

<あなたはあなたでいてくれてありがとう>

<Thank you for being you.>
