理想と戦争 (Risou to Sensou)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
油絵の色彩、木々の香り 	aburae no shikisai, kigi no kaori 	Colors of oil paintings; fragrances of the trees;
下駄の音、降り注ぐ蝉の声 	geta no oto, furisosogu semi no koe 	sounds of wooden clogs; sounds of cicadas falling down like rain.
 	 	
物乞いされて断った、当てにされると考えた 	monogoi sarete kotowatta, ate ni sareru to kangaeta 	I turned down a beggar, thinking I was being taken advantage of,
与えるだけ、持っていたのに 	ataeru dake, motte ita noni 	even though I did have enough to give.
貴女は手を差し伸べた、手を出せずにいた私は 	anata wa te o sashinobeta, te o dasezu ni ita watashi wa 	You, meanwhile, gave him a helping hand. Unable to do anything to help,
どうしようもなく人間だ 	dōshiyō mo naku ningen da 	how hopelessly human I am.
 	 	
トリドンシャドウ 	toridon shadō 	Tread on shadow

「貴方と戦う訳ではないのです」 	“anata to tatakau wake de wa nai no desu” 	“It’s not that I will be fighting with you.”
理想に影はなし、鳴りやまぬ砲音 	risō ni kage wa nashi, nariyamanu hōon 	There is no shadow to an ideal. The incessant roars of cannons.
 	 	
姿消した囃子、赤とんぼ 	sugata keshita hayashi, akatonbo 	Traditional musical accompaniment, now gone, and red dragonflies.
錆びた鉄塔、折れた御神木 	sabita tettō, oreta goshinboku 	Rusty steel towers, and broken divine palanquins.
 	 	
頭の奥で鳴り響く低い低い船の汽笛 	atama no oku de narihibiku hikui hikui fune no kiteki 	Deep inside my head, I can still hear the low, low ringing sound of the ship’s steam whistle.
揺れる甲板、遠い昔 	yureru kanpan, tōi mukashi 	The swaying deck of the ship, from the distant past.
「また会いましょう」 	“mata aimashō” 	“Let’s meet again someday,”
に対し、返事のなかった貴女に 	ni taishi, henji no nakatta anata ni 	I said, but you gave no reply,
今も会えないまま 	ima mo aenai mama 	and I still haven’t been able to see you again all this time.
