Lyrics: Amrita, you are my love, Blaze
Well, at least it was a productive sort of twitchy last night. ^_^() Admittedly, a better sort of productivity would have been writing or packing or something, but whatever. Romaji for Amrita, the Makino Yui version of you are my love, and Blaze, and translations for you are my love and Blaze. As always, I'd like to point out that my Japanese is less than brilliant, so corrections are deeply appreciated!

Vocals: Makino Yui
Kikasete natsukashii uta wo
tooku de kuchizusande
seinaru mitsu no you ni yume no you ni
sono naka de nemurasete
Doushite sekai wa sakasa ni muryoku ni nagareteku no?
Yuuyake
itsuka mita akane kumo
soba ni irenai sono kawari ni
Gin-iro no ame ga futte kitara watashi da to omotte
namida wo fuite
Massugu ni hada ni ochiru ryuusei
furitsudzukete sono kata ni amurita
Daichi ga naite iru yoru wo
kanjiru kokoro de ite
anata no kizuguchi ga itamu nara
sora ni negai no yumiya wo utsu
Gin-iro no ame ga futte kitara watashi da to omotte
jikan wo tomete
Chiheisen hibiki wataru shizuku
tashika na mono
ano hibi ni amurita
Gin-iro no ame ga futte kitara watashi da to omotte
namida wo fuite
Massugu ni hada ni ochiru ryuusei
anata ni furu ame ni naru amurita

Translation:
There's a traveler
with a gentle gaze
whose cheek, wet with rain,
smelled of tears
Nostalgic music
echoes in the silence
My forgotten memories
wander about
"Dreaming" is flying away on tiny wings,
the two of us going together
to a place where my memories won't disappear,
crossing the distant sea, the sky
Shine on me
in the dark of night
I want to see you,
with your
gentle gaze...

Vocals: Kinya (has he dropped the "Kotani" or something?)
Hatenaki yume motomeru shirube naki sekai de… (1)
Kasanaru omoi kokoro tsukisasu kodou
Shizuka ni tsuzuku tamerai mo nai uta (2)
Tooku sora no kanata kara mazariatta bokura no kage
Hitsuzen to kimagure no naka shirusareta kioku
Surechigatta toki no uzu (3)
Kuchihatetemo kimi no koe wo shinjite
Hatenaki yume motomeru shirube naki mirai de
Boku ga hikari nakushitemo itsuka (4)
Kimi ga tomoshite kureta kirameku mune no honoo
Tsubasa ni kawaru kibou no kakera (5)
Yamanai ame to yasashiku nureru tsuki
Kizutsuitemo ii kaze ni yure yuku bojou
Kurayami mo tsuranuku shisen aoku sunda hitomi no oku
Zetsubou mo kodoku mo koete kizamareta shirushi
Yugandeku toki no hazama (6)
Kawashita kizuna ni kimi wo kanjita
Hakanaki michi wo tadoru kotae naki sekai de
Fui ni mayoi tachidomatteru kimi yo
Mune kiramekasu kibou no asu e
Hakanaki yume motomeru kotae naki sekai de
Boku no negai todokeru kagayaku mune no honoo
Hatenaki yume motomeru shirube naki sekai de
Boku ga hikari nakushitemo itsuka
Kimi ga tomoshite kureta kirameku mune no honoo
Tsubasa ni kawaru kibou no kakera
Translation:
We're seeking our endless dreams in a world with no guidance...
With tangled emotions and a heart-piercing beat,
our ballad continues, quietly and without faltering
From the other side of the far-off sky, our shadows blur together
Our memories are chronicled somewhere between whim and inevitability(7)
Even if everything decays and falls to ruin in the whirlpool of time we spent passing each other by,
I'll believe in your voice
We're seeking our endless dreams in a future with no guidance
Even if I lose this light someday
there will still be the shining blaze you lit in my heart
We'll turn these fragments of hope into wings
An unceasing rain and a gently-soaked moon
I don't care if I get hurt; I just want to move on, blown about by the wind
A look from your clear, innocent eyes cuts through the darkness(8)
We'll pass through despair and loneliness and leave our mark behind
During the time I spent distorting myself to avoid creating ties,
I felt you there
We're following a fleeting path in a world with no answers
When you're suddenly lost and unable to move forward,
my heart will shine and show the way to a hopeful tomorrow
We're seeking our fleeting dreams in a world with no answers
The shining blaze in my heart will convey my wish
We're seeking our endless dreams in a world with no guidance
Even if I lose this light someday
there will still be the shining blaze you lit in my heart
We'll turn these fragments of hope into wings

(7) "'Hitsuzen'... A naturally foreordained event. A state in which other outcomes are impossible. A result which can only be obtained by a single causalty, and other causalties would necessarily create different results." That would be how Yuuko defines hitsuzen in the Del Rey version of xxxHOLiC, but for brevity's sake, "inevitability" will do. ^_^
(8) "Aoi" can mean blue, green, or inexperienced, whichever interpretation you prefer.
