TRUE BLOOD by Rikuo Nura (CV: Jun Fukuyama)
So I was going through my translation folder when I realized I had already translated Rikuo's character song a while back and all I had to do was proof it a few more times. My first time translating a full song and i don't think I'd want to do these very often x_x. Thankfully there were scans of the lyrics otherwise I doubt I'd have done this at all. I've also included the kanji and romanji lyrics so if there's anything wrong with my wording/translation please feel free to let me know~
(Night Rikuo's lines are in italics.)
TRUE BLOOD
Vocals: Jun Fukuyama as Rikuo Nura
English:
You should already know…
Your true strength.
My true, my true self
Is now awakening from wandering my memories.
The childhood dream I abandoned
Is shaking my reviving heart
The bewilderment as I peer into the future
Turns into aspiration
My true, my true self
Even if I were to defy it
Instead of being helpless
My boiling blood burns
I will fight for the friends I must now protect
The words you casually whispered to me
I realized being strong means to believe in them
My true, my true feelings
Even if they will reach no one
Those precious irreplaceable bonds
I will fight so that they are never destroyed
It’s fine if I completely lose my way
It’s fine if I’m completely troubled
But I am myself and nothing else
My true, my true feelings
Even if they will reach no one
Those precious irreplaceable bonds
I will fight so that they are never destroyed
My true, my true self that I see
At the moment when the answer becomes clear to me
Instead of being helpless my boiling blood burns
I will fight for the friends I must now protect
Romanji:

Kanji:
本当の力を。。。
知っているはずだぜ
本当の本当の自分の姿に
今目覚めてく記憶の中彷徨い
捨て去ろうとしてた幼い日の夢が
甦るたび心を揺さぶる
戸惑いながらも覗き込む未来が
憧れに変わる時
本当の本当の自分の姿に
目を背けてしまいそうになっても
どうしようもないほど
熱い血は燃えて
この守るべき仲間のため戦う
キミが何気なくささやいた言葉で
信じることが強さと気づいた
本当の本当の自分の想いが
誰にも届かずに終わっても
どうしてもなくせない大切な絆が
ただ壊されてしまわぬように戦う
思いきり迷うがいい
思いきり悩むがいい
けどオレはオレでしかない
本当の本当の自分の想いが
誰にも届かずに終わっても
どうしてもなくせない大切な絆が
ただ壊されてしまわぬように戦う
本当の本当の自分を見つめて
答えが見えてくる瞬間に
どうしようもないほど熱い血は燃えて
今守るべき仲間のため戦う
