time goes on - L’arc~en~ciel

this post was supposed to be up before i went on my crazy trip to HK to watch the band. anyway, i know there were translations for this before but i can’t find them anywhere anymore as jcentigrade is gone T_T  i was telling rjene how i loooved this song and how i can relate to it…i simply love how everything in this song touches me, especially the lyrics. not to mention tetsu composed and wrote the song hehehe =P

i found a video of the live version from the smile tour and im trying to remember if this clip was from the same night i watched. ahhh~it’s been four years since then, and i’m still not indifferent. i’m not making much sense but nothing ever did when it comes to him.

Time Goes On
L’arc-en-Ciel

Ano zawameki mada kikoeru?
Ima kono mama
kono toki wo tometakute

Yawaraka na hibi tsutsumarete
subete ga mabushisugita

Hajime kara wakatteta hazu na no ni
Toritome no nai kotoba dake ga
munashiku hibiku

Mada nemutte
kono yumemi-tsuzuketai

Ano kaze ni mau kareha-tachi
kokoro ni furitsumotte

Itsu made mo anata ga kienakute
Hikitomenai yo ima koko kara
subete ga kawaru

Kitto kimi ga erabu michi no saki ni wa
mabayui hikari ga afureteiru
Kimi no tame nara doukeshi ni natte
aruiteyuku yo
Sono egao kesenaide

Hajime kara wakatteta hazu na no ni
Tomadoi wa kisetsu wo tozasu kara
Yumemiteta no wa boku no hou sa
Subete wa shiroi awa no you ni ukande kieta

Time Goes On
Chelli Translation

can you still hear that humming
right now, just like this
i want to stop this time

enveloped by the gentle days
everything was too bright

from the start i should have already known but
only meaningless words echo emptily

still sleeping,
i want to keep on seeing this dream

those petals that whirl around in the wind
just lie thick in my heart

you just won’t disappear forever
but i won’t hold you back
from now on everything will change

surely in whichever path that you choose
it will be overflowing with dazzling light
if it’s for your sake, i’ll become a clown
and just keep walking on
just don’t lose that smile

from the start i should have already known but
the seasons will close off this confusion
the one dreaming was only me
everything floated away like white
bubbles and disappeared
