Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
This time I'm cross-posting this, and I'm already splitting it. I still give the full lyrics to the song, Still for your love (video) in case it's useful to have them for context:
何かが起こりそうな夜は
祈りをささげて 目を閉じなよ
こんな月のとける夜に
愛され生まれてきたのとママは言った
お願い遠くへ行かないでと
なぜママは涙を流すの
ずっとずっとそばにいるよ
小さな心で思ってたけど
あの人に会うまでは
心ゆらされるまでは
そして全てはからまわり
未来がちぎれるのを見た
さぁ 裸足になって 大地けって
虹をこえて 空をつかんで
I wish 胸の十字架をにぎり 朝は
希望があなたにふりそそぎ 夜は
やわらかな光が あなたを包み込み
明日{あす}への勇気を与える
幼い頃に うえつけられた傷は重く
心にのしかかり
暗い狭い世界で 心ない世界で
ゆりかごに似たやすらかな Final song
もう二度と 会えないとわかってても
色を変えてもつながってるから 空は
白い羽根身につけ 大きくはばたいて
未来を変えるよ この手で
I wish 胸の十字架をにぎり 朝は
希望があなたにふりそそぎ 夜は
やわらかな光が あなたを包み込み
明日{あす}への勇気を与える
I wish forever her great happiness la la la
Everynight in your dream I see you I feel you la la la
Tears stood in her eyes la la la Please don't cry la la la
Forever still for you, still for your love
The question is about the following part:
幼い頃に うえつけられた傷は重く
心にのしかかり
暗い狭い世界で 心ない世界で
ゆりかごに似たやすらかな Final song
もう二度と 会えないとわかってても
色を変えてもつながってるから 空は
白い羽根身につけ 大きくはばたいて
未来を変えるよ この手で
Possible translation:
The wounds burned [into me] in childhood
Press heavily on my heart
In a dark and narrow world, in a heartless world
A gentle Final song feeling like a cradle
Even knowing we can't meet again
Because our skies are connected even though they change colors
Tacking white wings to my body [and] flapping wide
I will change the future with these [two] hands!
Question 1:
What is a "final song"? Why is "nita" past tense and not non-past "niru"? Does this song no longer feel like a cradle? When did it then?
Question 2:
L. 2 can be read in like 4 ways:
- "sora wa" as the subject of both tsunagatteru and kaete, as above;
- "sora wa" as the subject of only tsunagatteru (because the sky is connected even though [we] change colors);
- "sora wa" as the subject of only kaete (because we are still related/connected even though the sky changes color);
- "sora wa" as part of the following line (which would then presumably happen in the sky, because having the sky tack wings onto itself doesn't seem to make much sense).
I would exclude #3 because of the position is "sora wa", but why the rest?
