BLUE -Translation-

宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199 追憶の航海

I am finally back from my long lyric translation hiatus! 

My quality checker had a lot of wonderful things keeping him busy and I didn't want to publish something that might come across as not fully thought through, so it ended up being a while. I'll be working through some of my backlog now (yes, I haven't  forgotten any of the translation wishes I have received... I hope), starting with the request from Vincent Vincent way back when Nana sang BLUE in LIVE THEATER (yikes, it really has been a while I am so sorry orz).

Will be continuing with  熱情のマリア (Netsujou no Maria) after this, expect to see it either later today or tomorrow. That one needs quite a few explanatory notes due to being quite multi-layered, so I need a little bit more time to polish it.

So, as per usual, QC done by the esteemed @DarkSoul4242. Here is BLUE!

Japanese	English
君の手に触れてるような 温かい光　この星を照らしていく こんなにも美しい空 側にあること　忘れそうになっていたよ	A warm light that feels like it's touching your hand illuminates this star We were about to forget, that such a beautiful sky is beside us
朝日が射せば目覚める 当たり前に感じる景色の中に 奇跡が眠っていたんだ	Waking up when the morning sun touches you It is inside the scenery you take for granted, that a miracle is sleeping
誰もが限りある時に生まれて 限りない希望を探し続けてる 恐れることも　痛みを知ることも 愛という未来に繋がっていく	Everyone was born to limited time, and continues searching for limitless hope Even being afraid and knowing pain, will lead to a future called love
とめどなく押し寄せる日々に 飲まれぬように　ただ走るしかなくて 本当に大切なもの 気付いているのに　見失いそうになっていたよ	Days keep on coming, ceaselessly, and we can only run on to avoid being overwhelmed We seem to have lost sight of important things, even though we have noticed them
言葉を超えた想いが 蒼い海を巡って　夢を翼に変えてく もっと沢山の歌詞は 煌めく航路―たびじ―へ	Feelings that go beyond words, revolve around a blue ocean, changing dreams into wings Many more lyrics will lead you on to a sparkling journey
きっと何かが始まる瞬間は 輝く笑顔と共にあるだろう 涙で滲んだ闇に迷っても 愛が明日への道を切り開いていく	Certainly the moment something begins, is accompanied with a shining smile Even when lost in the darkness blurred by tears, love will open up the path to tomorrow
誰かのために生きる喜び 初めて君が教えてくれた 小さな灯が惹かれ合い　木霊するように 世界を彩っていく	The joy of living for the sake of someone, you were the first to show me that Little lights attract each other, and as if resonating, they decorate the world
誰もが限りある時に生まれて 限りない希望を探し続けてる 恐れることも　痛みを知ることも 愛という未来に繋がっていく	Everyone was born to limited time, and continues searching for limitless hope Even being afraid, and knowing pain, Will lead to a future called love
「いつも君が幸せでありますように…」	"May you always be happy"
