There are a LOT of notes on this track, because, frankly, I adore it. Always have, always will. It doesn't hurt that this is so obviously a Mirai Trunks song, and I love me some classic Mirai Trunks. (Don't even talk to me about Super's Mirai Trunks. Can't recognise him to save my life.) There's also a surprising amount of...not exactly wordplay, per se, but there's very poetic language used. And yes, Japanese being poetic on top of being the most indirect language in the entire galaxy does make for a translation challenge. Hopefully I'm up to it and I won't overexplain anything...or underexplain it!
カーボン色をした 空に浮かぶ
無数の星が瞬く…
ふいに訪れた 来訪者は
時を旅して 今日まで来た
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
ホシ ノ フィラメント
モウスグ キレ ソウ
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
彼が残した 未来からの伝言
あの星は ここから 幾億光年
あの
ふいに訪れた 綺麗な少
時の彼方へ 消えてく
一人残された 泊り客は
再び夜空 見上げていた
過去と未来を結ぶのが
あぁ
あぁ

ホシ ヲ ミル ヨウニ
ノゾイテ ゴラン
アワセ カガミ ハ

あの星は ここから 幾億光年

カーボン色をした 空に浮かぶ
無数の星が瞬く…

Floating in a sky turned carbon-black,
Countless stars glimmer
A sudden visit from a stranger
Who travelled through time until he came to today
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"It seems like the slender threads of the stars
Will be severed very soon..."
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
He left behind a message from the future
It's a hundred million lightyears from here to that star
It's a hundred million of lightyears from that river of stars to here
The beautiful young man who visited suddenly
Vanishes into the depths of time
Left behind on his own, the visitor
Was gazing into the night sky again
Yesterday shines
As tomorrow shines
If we can connect the past to the future today...
Ah, we keep on walking from here, from here
Ah, we keep on praying, from here, from here
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"In order to see those stars
Try peeking into
The opposing mirrors
That are changing the past
Look over your shoulder: you
You are, you are, you are
Waiting
Both now and then..."
・・・・・・・・・・・・・
It's a hundred million lightyears from here to that star
It's a hundred million of lightyears from that river of stars to here
Ah, we keep on walking from here, from here
Ah, we keep on praying, from here, from here
Floating in a sky turned carbon-black,
Countless stars glimmer...
