L'Arc~en~Ciel - Yuki No Ashiato

Toiki ga sutto nobotte fuyumeku sora toke dashita
Sunda kuuki ni kokoro wa arawarete sakanoboru

Tachidomattar, mawarimichi mo shita kedo
Hitotsu hitotsu ga taisetsu na kioku

Furidashita yuki ga atari wo somete

Kimi ga ita kara ima demo mae wo muite susumerun da

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Yuki No Ashiato English Translation

My sighs kept rising up, melting into the wintry sky
The clear air washes my heart clean and takes me back

There were times I stopped and times I took the long way round
But I treasure each and every memory
I hope to spend every day with you, just like today...

The snow begins to fall and cover our surroundings
Gently surrounding us, tenderly

It's because of you that I can keep moving forward
As I walk through the winter, I believe that with all my heart

Snow flowers bloom on the roadside treetops
The road is graffiti on a white canvas
We put our cold hands together to warm each other

If I turn around, I can see our footprints side by side
Laughing at the indentation from a fall on a winter day

Let's take steady steps like this
As if taking each other's hand

Let's walk together forever
As if making white footprints in the snowdrifts

Let's walk home together a little more slowly
As if tenderly cuddling up

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Sunadokei English Translation

I wish time would just pass like this
With nothing changing
I don't want to notice
That everything's being tested, even my freedom

It surely comes to everyone, without exception
Even if I entrust my body to the maze
The disappearing scenery
Taught me that
We're side by side
Make on break, make amends
And then it's all gone

The answer that fell from the sky was an hourglass
Though there will be no miracles

I just turn my eyes
From the too-horrible end

Wishing for happiness brings tragedy
A smile in exchange for sorrow
The peace I stole is now a false paradise
Like a hypocrite
Hold your breath, hold your peace
It's time to make or break

To protect the ones we love
We hurt someone else
Will everything be forgiven
If people don't notice the sins we commit?

Until God's judgement
The answer is an hourglass spilling into my hand
I knew from the beginning, if I could have
All of my unquenchable desires
The endless sorrow would repeat
And all would be lost

Until God's judgement

L'Arc~en~Ciel - The Black Rose English Translation

A sign left behind
Connected to a succession of crimes

What's the true motive?

It is the black rose sneering
Scattered roses expose the criminal

Chase faster
He slips easily from my hand, dazzling me
End that bastard
Who scattered the roses?
There's no time, but who's the next target?

I hone my senses towards the feeling
To the blind spot in my information

Smell of the black rose lures me in
Scattered roses corner me

Chase faster
He slips easily from my hand, dazzling me
End that bastard
Who scattered the roses?
There's no time, but who's the next target?

It is the black rose blooming
Scattered roses sneering

Chase faster
My eyes are covered the moment he's exposed
End that bastard
Who's lurking in the darkness?
The black roses are scattered at my feet
But who's the next target?

...Me!?

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Umibe English Translation

I reach towards your soft cheek
Wanting to be soaked in that gentle time
To return to that beach once more
As if nothing had happened

The season passes without hearing your voice
A solid, heavy curtain has been lowered
Without even a goodbye

I was unable to anticipate the shadows that fell
A fruit plucked before it ripened
Suddenly my heart is filled with it
As if I've gone back in time

You seemed so happy as you frolicked, melting into the beach
You swam away in the too-bright sunshine
No matter how many years pass, it's etched into my memories
It torments me, never to disappear

If you can, smile at me
If you can
Let's walk along the shore back to that summer

You seemed so happy as you frolicked, melting into the beach
You swam away in the too-bright sunshine
You pierce me every time I go down this road
Spilling out as if you're flowing from my heart

A repeating spiral
Flickering brilliantly blue
Teasingly spinning
Glistening gunpowder smoke tangled with blue

The fingers that touch pleasure
Struggle on towards memory
Open your hands and grab it
Feel the mania you wished for in the instant you take flight

Dance ceaselessly

Paint over everything

Shake off the present
If you're going to scatter, let it ring out

The sky is falling in sweet drops

If you're going to scatter, dance lewdly

Look, the wind's begun to move
I won't give up yet
I can feel the sun through the clouds
And even if there's a head wind

My heart draws a dream
I fly high and freely, wherever I want to go
My heart draws a dream
When I open my eyes where I've landed...
I have a feeling I'll see you smiling
...I hope I see you

Hey, if I time my breathing right
I bet I can fly even higher
Will I be able to see the future from there?
Even if it's patchwork

My heart draws a dream
I'll fly across the vastness of time
My heart draws a dream
Oh, I hope it comes true someday
I pray you'll still be smiling

Come on, reach out your hand
Now let yourself go
No one can bind your heart
Your gaze catches sight of the sun
And no matter how faded the world is

Everyone
Draws a dream, draws a dream, draws a dream
Our hearts draw a dream
Draws a dream, draws a dream, draws a dream
...Look

I hope I'll see you smiling

To stop this strife

Why do people keep repeating the same mistakes?
I hate this blood that flows within us all, never evolving

Here on this earth which belongs to no one, we judge each other with fire

If the clear future has come, it will dwell
In the flowers and weapons
My wishes over their airspace
Someone shake me awake from this nightmare
If my wish comes true
My life I trade in for your pain
How much must I pray before it reaches heaven?

Now the sunrise reflects me and the ocean

I hope my wish flies on the wind to ring daybreak's bell

My wishes over their airspace
Crossing countless waves
To protect you as you face tomorrow
My life I trade in for your pain

Fly without turning back
Carrying this love
Fly through the sky

No one can shoot down this wish

Fadeless bittersweet days, days of joy and the memory of love
And what I've learned is that love undermines sorrow

I feel a surge of love at the sudden sight
Of that familiar street

I'm glad I met you, that's enough
This life is still on the road...and so I go

L'Arc~en~Ciel - Link English Lyrics Translation

Do you remember?
Ever since you were little, there was a door that you couldn't reach even if you stood on tiptoe
Forgetting about time, you wandered and wandered
The maze always ended up there

I can't stop unconsciously searching for your smile
Nothing's changed; I'm still running

Even if we're far, far apart, our memories will link us
Not even a trick of fate can break it

Somewhere in the back of their minds everyone must realize
That the tomorrow they're wishing for lies ahead
Someday I want to show you the time when the tools of war
Disappear and the days are clear

In this world we're all falling, failing to stop hurting each other
But now that I've met you, I've nothing to fear

Even if my body is burnt up, I won't mind; I'll offer it to you
In a burst of pure white, I'll fly up to the sky and protect you

Even if we're far, far apart, our memories will link us
Not even a trick of fate can break it

Even if my body is burnt up, I won't mind; I'll offer it to you
I hope someday you'll see the world be reborn
