I’m on a roll. And, as they say, yesterday’s enemies are today’s friends. Speaking of which, I think I’m starting to get a hang of Nishikawa’s lyrical style, so things should just get easier from here on out. Just as a note, in the ABINGDON ROAD version of the song, Nishikawa sings the chorus once as an intro before the regular lyrics begin.
Song: From Dusk Till Dawn
Artist: abingdon boys school
Album: From Dusk Till Dawn (’09)
Lyrics by Nishikawa Takanori, music by Shibasaki Hiroshi
KANJI
暮れてく夕映えに砂が押されて
歩き出す影が示す方へ
絶えない幾つもの出会いと別れを
繰り返しどこへ向かうのか
人は誰も 迷いながら 罪とう名の 運命を背負って
それでなお 生きる意味を 知るだろう
僕らは そう Day by Day 明日へ 続く道の途中で
Now Say It Again 君とふたりのまま居られたならいいのになー
何かを 失って 何かを手に入れて
消れてく 僕の心には
傷だらけで痣にも似た数えきれないほころびがあって
それでもまた光差す揚所を目指して
僕らはそう Day by Day 描いた 果てない未来の地図に
Now Say It Again ずっとあの日のまま居られたなら
限りある時の中で 限りない夢を抱いて
打ち鳴らす胸の鼓動が 君を呼び続ける
From Dusk Till Dawn
ひそやかに野に咲く 名もないき花びらの様に
そう Day by Day 明日へ続く道の途中で
Now Say it Again 君とふたりのまま
移りゆく世界に その足音だけを 残して

ENGLISH:
In the darkening sunset, sand pressed underfoot,
the shadow that begins walking indicates the direction we are moving
Are we turning toward the cycle of endless meetings and goodbyes,
which are too many to count?
Despite their bewilderment, a person is, everyone is, burdened by the destiny called “sin”
Still, because of that they know the reason of living, don’t they?
We are, yes, DAY BY DAY, moving toward tomorrow
On the path that continues on
NOW SAY IT AGAIN remaining together with you, it would have been nice
to live that way….
Losing something, and gaining something,
It’s being erased, my spirit
Covered in scars and bruises, there are too many open wounds to count
But even so we are aiming at a better, brighter place
NOW SAY IT AGAIN if we could only live together forever, remaining as we were that day
Within the time that has limits, I embrace the limitless dreams
The heartbeat ringing in my chest continues to call out to you…
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
Blooming wildly in the stillness, like the petals of an unknown flower
Yes, DAY BY DAY moving on the path that continues toward tomorrow
NOW SAY IT AGAIN, remaining in this way together with you
Leaving behind only the sound of our footsteps, in this changing world
