そう俺は夢を掴む者 野望のため刀を赤く染める

Sou ore wa yume wo tsukamu mono yabou no tame katana wo akaku someru

Yes, I am the one who seizes dreams.  I dyed my sword red for [my] ambitions.
戦国の世が世であるから何を犠牲にしても天下を取る

Sengoku no yo ga yo de aru kara nani wo gisei ni shite mo tenka wo toru

Because this is a world of warring states, I will take the whole country no matter what I need to sacrifice.

何もかも省みずに故郷の母にも手紙書けず

Nani mo kamo kaerimizu ni kokyou no haha ni mo tegami kakezu

Without looking back at anything, without writing letters to my mother in my hometown,
己の未熟さを知り気付けば体は血に染まった

Onore no mijakusa wo shirikidzukeba karada wa chi ni somatta

I realized my own immaturity, and colored my body with blood.

残酷な戦の痕 俺たちは敗れた人

Zankoku na ikusa no ato oretachi wa yabureta hito

The remains of a cruel battle, we are the defeated ones.
敗者には救いさえもなく 無情に雨は降り注ぐ

Haisha ni wa sukui sae mo naku mujou ni ame wa furisosogu

There is not even salvation for the vanquished [for the] heartless rain pours down incessantly.
墓標に夢は露と散る

Bohyou ni yume wa tsuyu to chiru

[Our] dreams scatter like dew on our gravestones.

遠く向こうから聴こえてくる

Tooku mukou kara kikoetekuru

I can hear it from the distant beyond,
優しく悲しい旋律

Yasashiku kanashii senritsu

a gentle, sad melody.

少女は何処かで歌ってるようだ

Shoujo wa doko ka de utatteru you da

It’s as if a maiden is singing somewhere.
透き通った声が響きわたる

Sukitootta koe ga hibikiwataru

A crystal-clear voice resounds.

ふと涙零れ落ちた

Futo namida koboreochita

Suddenly, my tears welled up and fell.
故郷が思い浮かんだ

Furusato ga omoiukanda

Memories of my hometown came back to me.
歌声が俺に気付かせた

Utagoe ga ore ni kidzukaseta

That singing voice made me realize that
平穏が一番大切だと

Heion ga ichiban taisetsu da to

tranquility is the most important thing.

もし生まれかわれるなら

Moshi umarekawareru nara

If I were to be reborn,
この声の少女のように

Kono koe no shoujo no you ni

like the voice of [that] maiden,
歌声で人を救えるような

Utagoe de hito wo sukueru you na

 I want an existence where
存在になりたいと思うんだ

Sonzai ni narittai to omounda

I can save people with my song.

今の俺がそうであるように

Ima no ore ga sou de aru you ni

If I could take away someone’s burdens
誰かの重荷を外せたなら

Dare ka no omoni wo hazuseta nara

as mine are taken now…
嗚呼

Aaaa

Ah!
