THEATRE BROOK - Mabataki (english translation)

I think what I have for the chorus is okay, but those first two verses might be a little wonky.



まばたき / Blink

Music and Lyrics: Sato Taiji

The moment I blinked, I lost sight of it
There was a flash of brilliance, and my sigh became an afterimage, leaving behind a trace*

We repeat it over and over
Do you see the mistake?
Are we layering on words, taking white and calling it black?**

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

The moment I blinked, I lost sight of it
There was a flash of brilliance, and my sigh became an afterimage, leaving behind a trace

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

Since the night always comes on with soft steps,
If you want to meet the morning glow soon, hurry
Hurry, for tomorrow's sunrise

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

Open the door
And step forward

Notes:
*,** Not sure about these lines at all
