あの日(ひ)飛(と)び出(だ)した 港(みなと)は遠(とお)く蜃気楼(しんきろう)
The harbor I ran from that day is now a distant mirage
荒(あ)れ狂(くる)う黄昏(たそがれ)のときに 駆(か)け引(ひ)きされる命(いのち)の価値(かち)
In the violent dusk, the value of life is weighed
 
 
海(うみ)はまたむき出(だ)しの 脅威(きょうい)をみせて 覆(おお)いつくす
The sea bares its threat again and covers everything
試(ため)される闘(たたか)いの日々(ひび)は 果(は)てなく続(つづ)き 老(お)いを知(し)らしめる
Days of being tested, of fighting on, stretch endlessly and teach me to grow old
 
 
大(おお)いなる海(うみ)へと 何(なに)が駆(か)り立(た)てるのか
What is it that drives me toward the vast sea?
躊躇(ためら)うことなど 許(ゆる)されぬ
Not even a moment of hesitation is allowed
薄(うす)れゆく意識(いしき)に 失(うしな)わぬ誇(ほこ)り抱(だ)いて
Even as my consciousness grows dim, I keep a pride I never lost
儚(はかな)い勝利(しょうり)がよぎる夢(ゆめ)
A brief victory passes through my dream
 
 
血(ち)のにおい 生(い)きた証(あかし)たどる 自問自答(じもんじとう)は罪(つみ)のせめぎあい
Following the smell of blood, searching for proof I've lived—asking and answering myself, the clash of sin
 
 
奪(うば)われゆくのは、この獲物(えもの)か若(わか)さか
What's been taken from me: this prey, or my youth?
抗(あらが)うことなど出来(でき)ぬように
It feels as if I can no longer resist
食(く)い尽(つ)くされるのは肉体(にくたい)か我(わ)が心(こころ)か
What's been devoured completely: my body, or my heart?
負(ま)けぬ 負(ま)けぬと言(い)いきかせて
I tell myself over and over, I won't lose, I won't lose
 
 
大(おお)いなる海(うみ)へと 何(なに)が駆(か)り立(た)てるのか
What is it that drives me toward the vast sea?
疑(うたが)うことなど 微塵(みじん)もなく
Without a single doubt
敗北(はいぼく)の途中(とちゅう)で 失(うしな)わぬ誇(ほこ)り抱(だ)いて
On the way to defeat, I keep a pride I never lost
儚(はかな)い勝利(しょうり)はすり抜(ぬ)ける
A brief victory slips from my hands
海(うみ)をゆく獅子(しし)此処(ここ)に在(あ)る
The lion sailing the sea is here
