DEEP RIVER

9SONG & LYRIC: UTADA HIKARU

TRANSLATION: KIWI MUSUME

My finger draws a line
Between two points
Those points are the road I've walked so far, and my destination

The two of us are joining two points
Eventually we'll reach the sea and become one
Though I'm not afraid…

Countless rivers flow
Without so much as asking why
We don't have to
Accept everything
As freely as the names we were given
Now all our pain had flown away

That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why, that's why I chose you

This sword hasn't been entrusted to us
So that we can hear the sound of one sword striking another
Who can we protect with such a contradiction?

I'm searching today
For you, who changed your form so many times
Before you descended before me
We don't need to try
To be accepted anywhere
We have all been blessed with a sword of individuality

Sometimes it's OK to change the direction in which we flow
Without taking anything with us
We don't have to
Accept everything
As freely as the names we were given
Now the birds have flown away, into the sea breeze
