Give a Reason for Life

Give a Reason for Life
Slayers NEXT Opening

ME magurushii JIKAN no MURE ga
HASHIri NUkeru MACHI wa SABANNA
kawaru ga waru SYUURU na NYUUSU
ASU ni nareba, dare mo WASUreteru

Time's crowd is drastic,
The city that it runs through is a savanna.
Sure news of an ill change...
We'll get used to it tomorrow, everyone will forget

Ikiteiru IMA, Ikiteiru
sonna naka de NANI ka MOTOme
mogaku you ni NUkeDAsu you ni
kono CHIKARA o TAMEshite mitakute

I live now, I live...
Like it's inside, something searches...
As if it were struggling, as if it were sneaking away,
It wants to test this power.

[CHORUS]
kitto dodo ka ni "KOTAE" aru   Umarete kita KOTAE ga
HITO wa mina,   sore o MOTOme
yarusenai   nogasenai   YUME ni MUkau no

Surely, somewhere there lies "the answer," the answer which was born,
That is what all people wish for,
Facing the dreary dream that they can't let go.

KIZUtsuku KOTO wa kowakunai   dakedo keshite TSUYOkunai
tada, NANI mo shinai mama de   KUyandari wa shitakunai
Here we go! go! HASHIri TSUDZUkeru DARE ni mo TOmerare wa shinai
MIRAI no JIBUN e to   Give a reason for life   TODO ketai

I'm not afraid of getting hurt, but it's not hard to erase.
It's just the way it is without doing anything, and I don't want any regrets.
Here we go! go! Keep on running! No one will be able to stop us.
I want to give a reason for life to my future self.

HAKAri SHIrenai OOkina YAMIga
OTO o TAtete MUkatte KItte mo
ASA ga KIreba DAREka ga Ireba
KOKORO ni aru ZETSUBOU wakeseru

Don't know how big the darkness is
It makes a sound, and I face it.
Morning comes, and someone's there...
It's in my mind, vanishing in despair...

motto TSUYOku IMEEJI shite HOHOEnderu JIBUN o
SHINjiteru OMOi, sore ga
NANI yori mo DARE yori mo YUMEni CHIKAdzuku

I make a very strong image, and smile to myself...
Believe in those thoughts...
From what, from who, approaching the dream...

GOORU ni mo tare tarishinai tadoe, TADOriTSUitatte
ATARAshii YUME ga kitto WATASHI no senaka Osu kara
Here we go! go! HASHIri TSUDZUkeru DAREnimo TOmerare wa shinai
MIRAI no JIBUN e to Give a reason for life TODOketai

Head for my goal, even if I'm staggering...
I want new dreams to break out from within me...
Here we go! go! Keep on running! No one will be able to stop us.
I want to give a reason for life to my future self.

[ Repeat CHORUS ]

TRANSLATION NOTES:
"motto TSUYOku IMEEJI shite HOHOEnderu JIBUN o"
-> ' I make a very strong image, and smile to myself...'
I wasn't sure how to translate it... I wasn't sure whether she was
talking about herself or this dark 'thing' she's singing about.

"GOORU ni mo tare tarishinai tadoe, TADOriTSUitatte"
-> ' Head for my goal, even if I'm staggering...'
There's probably a better way to translate that...

Give a reason
テレビ東京系アニメ「スレイヤーズＮＥＸＴ」オープニングテーマ

目まぐるしい　時間の群れが
走り抜ける　都市（まち）はサバンナ
かわるがわる　シュールなニュース
明日（あす）になれば　誰も忘れてる
生きている　今、生きている
そんな中で　何かを求め
もがくように　抜け出すように
この力を　試してみたくて

※きっとどこかに「答」ある　生まれてきた答が
　人は皆、それを求め
　やるせない　のがせない　夢に向かうの

傷つく事は恐くない　だけどけして強くない
ただ、何もしないままで　悔やんだりはしたくない
Here we go! go!　走り続ける　誰にも止められはしない
未来の自分へと　Give a reason for life　届けたい

計り知れない　大きな闇が
音を立てて　向かって来ても
朝が来れば　誰かが居れば
心にある　絶望は消せる
もっと強くイメージして　微笑んでる自分を……
信じてる思い、それが
何よりも　誰よりも　夢に近づく

ゴールにもたれたりしない　たとえ、辿り着いたって
新しい夢がきっと　私の背中押すから
Here we go! go!　走り続ける　誰にも止められはしない
未来の自分へと Give a reason for life　届けたい
