Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie [The Rebellion Story] Ending - Kimi no Gin no Niwa
Thanks to the community over on canta per me for providing some feedback to make this translation better.
Yuki Kajiura said she wanted this song's lyrics to come off as completely neutral and objective, to avoid having them paint a strictly positive or negative view of the events of the movie... Personally I'm not 100% sure she succeeded, as certain lines in this song do sound pretty unsettling to me...

On the other side of the door I carefully opened
lies a world that looks about to crumble.
Will it turn to morning?
Will it turn to night?
While I kept on pondering, the light shone through.
Let's keep playing for just a little longer, until that voice calls out to us,
repeating the time that spins around like a flower.
Here in this room, my dreams
would always play a kind song for you.
What is it that is real?
I chase after a world that I can believe in more strongly than anything else,
heading for your silver garden.
She got lost on her way, and yet
she made it home faster than anyone else, today as always.
All she has to do is carry on running,
as she searches, not for justice, but for happiness... right?
The protector who wants to guard that childlike sleep
takes the door to adulthood and seals it shut.
Did you ever notice?
That silly thing, the truth,
is a thing of the past and will remain as such.
Your future and your hopes and all such things
are but a selfish story
that someone wrote in that distant garden,
but nobody knows of it yet.
The child sings with the voice of a cheerful bird.
What is she hiding? What has she destroyed?
Among burning clocks,
and the secretive scent of flowers,
"I am right here..."
Let's nestle together silently.
Don't go anywhere.
Keep chirping by the windowsill,
regardless of what you may lose.
Within those arms, my dreams
kept constrained the lies and tears
of that kind person.
There's something missing in my heart,
but I will clad myself in light and fly off,
bearing the appearance of a young girl,
heading for a never-ending beginning,
for the true ending.
Let's nestle together silently.
Don't go anywhere.
Keep chirping by the windowsill.
Don't go anywhere.

そっと開いたドアの向こうに
壊れそうな世界はある
朝が来るのか
夜になるのか
迷いながらひかりは綻びて
声が呼ぶまではもう少し遊ぼう
花のように廻る時を繰り返し
夢はこの部屋の中で
やさしい歌をずっと君に歌っていた
何がほんとのことなの
一番強く信じられる世界を追いかけて
君の銀の庭へ
道に迷ったあの子が今日も
一番早く帰りついた
正しさよりも明るい場所を
見つけながら走ればいいんだね
幼い眠りを守りたい番人
大人になる門は固く閉ざされて
君は気付いていたかな？
ほんとのことなんて
いつも過去にしか無い
未来や希望は全て
誰かが描く遠い庭の
我が侭な物語
まだ誰も知らない
ひたむきな小鳥の声で歌う子供は
何を隠し何を壊し
燃える時計
秘密めく花の香り
「ここにいるよ」
静かに寄り添って
何処にも行かないで
窓辺で囀って
何をなくしたって
夢はその腕の中に
優しい人の嘘も嘆きも
閉じ込めていた
何か足りない心で
光を纏い飛んで行こう
少女のかたちをして
終わらない始まりへ
ほんとうの終わりへ
静かに寄り添って
何処にも行かないで
窓辺で囀って
何処にも行かないで
