ARSLAN OVA1 ENDING THEME

Kutsuato no hana / / The flower in a footstep

Thank whichever God you believe in that I finally got myself a nifty Japanese word processor. Which means you don't have to endure my horrid handwriting anymore. For some reason, kanji and I don't get along too well.

takai hoshi no kagayaki ga hoshikute

kimi ga hitori arukidasu

sunani mamireyureru hana no iro mo, tooi me niwa utsuranai

namida hitotsu koboreta asa wa ashi wo tomete ki tsuite

michini tsuzuku ikutsumono ashiato

minna onaji yume wo mita

nakushitamono kasoerunaraba, mabutadojite wasurete

tsuyoi kaze ga fuita dono kizuato mo itsuka umerudeshoo hiroi hana

hito no yume wa chisana hana no inochi yorimo hakanaku

kimi no aruita michi

dono kutsuato ni

itsuka sakunodeshoo ano hanaga

kimi no aruita michi

dono kutsuato ni

itsumo yumerudeshoo ano shiroi hana...

You wish for the radiance of the high star

And you walk away alone

Even the color of the flowers, swaying and covering the sand,

is not reflected in your distant gaze

You notice the morning when one tear overflowed

has stopped your feet

Your footprints keep on following the road

Everyone has seen that same dream

If you count the things you've lost,

You will close your eyes and forget

Someday the strong wind will quiet

And that white flower will fill each of your footsteps

The dreams of man are more ephemeral than the life of a small flower

On that road you walk on,

In each of your footsteps,

That flower will someday bloom

On that road you walk on,

In each of your footsteps,

That white flower will someday sway

And I repeat there is no claim here to its correctness. I'm not good enough in Japanese to think that everything I hear is what the mumbling singer says.
