Akatsuki No Kuruma (From “Mobile Suit Gundam Seed”)

Hidden in the shade, I shed my tears, only my cries fall upon the wind
It’s a song that I don’t recognize, nor is this soul I bear within
Fingers find the strings of my guitar, playing a solemn melody 
As I watch the stars fall from the sky, mourning the lost they grieve

“Please don’t leave me yet”, but it’s all in vain, 
My words they beg, but it cannot change 
Upon the breeze, none answer me, only the petals sway
Love is lingering in the memories, though far away, 
Like a fading dream, this last farewell I sing,
May it echo forth forever more, always for you

Hark! The blazing wheels of no remorse, 
Nothing can stop their spinning fate,
Not the gentle hands that love has worn, 
(And) not for the child that they embrace
Fingers find the strings of my guitar, playing a solemn melody
Each note played is plucked so violently, heavy it leaves its mark

In an endless sea of rain, no drop of despair
Has sorrow stained, pure without the pain, 
Upon the sweet light summer breeze, only the petals sway
I’ll do what I must, in my heart I trust, the memories,
Of the ones I love, will keep me strong in song
On my journeys on forever more, I’m missing you

On this earth I roam, but it all takes a toll, 
A burning remembrance takes hold of me and grows, 
A memory so nostalgic it uplifts my soul 

To the path ahead, a carriage flies away
Another sent, as the dawn will break
Upon the breeze, quiet with peace, only the petals sway
I will hold it dear, throughout all my years, 
This pure sunrise, may I find this light in the next life, I beg
May it echo forth as the wheels turn, in endless war, forever more
