CRUEL ANGEL'S THESIS |
As you've probably guessed,
this is my favourite NGE piece of music, followed closely by Shinji's theme and
"Air"... Actually it's rivalled by "When I find Peace of Mind", but
I've got more versions of this...
And yes, of course I hate "Fly Me to the Moon"... doesn't everyone??? (See my
music page for an update on this...)
For music other than Cruel Angel's Thesis, go to my music page.
| This is the version on my music page. It's the best one I've found so far, but I'm always looking for a better one... (hint, hint) | |
| This is the actual TV version. Apparently. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound at all like it. For the actual TV version, get an Mp3. I can recommend lots of sites... | |
| This is another version. It sounds... well, sort of like the others. I guess that's because it's the same piece... :) The percussion's fairly different, though. | |
| This one's a more... interesting... variation, with changes to melody, rhythm, and even the harmony in a few places. You can still tell what it is, though, and I happen to like it. | |
Now the important thing... the lyrics. I have them in Japanese and English. The hard part is fitting the English ones to the music. Have you tried it? Actually, most fit really well, it's just some that are completely different. This isn't the extended version, just the normal TV one.

English |
| Zankokuna tenshi no youni, | Like an angel that has no sense of mercy |
| Shounen yo shinwa ni nare | Rise, young boy, to the heavens like a legend... |
| Aoi kaze ga ima, | Cold winds, as blue as the sea, |
| Mune no doa wo tataitemo, | Tear open the door to your heart; I see... |
| Watashi dake wo tada mitsumete, | But unknowing you seem, just staring at me... |
| Hohoenderu Anata | Standing there smiling serenely. |
| Sotto fureru mono, | Desperate, for someone to touch... |
| Motomeru koto ni muchuu de, | A moment of kindness like that in a dream... |
| Unmei sae mada shiranai, | Your innocent eyes, have yet no idea... |
| Itaikena hitomi | Of the path your destiny will follow... |
| Dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou, | But someday you'll become aware of... |
| Sono senaka ni wa, | Everything that you've got behind you... |
| Haruka mirai mezasu tame no, | Your wings are for seeking out a new... |
| Hane ga aru koto | Future that only you can search for. |
| Zankokuna tenshi no theeze, | The cruel angel's thesis bleeds through a portal like your pulsing blood...* |
| Modobe kara yagate tobidatsu, | If you should betray the chapel of your memories. |
| Hotobashiru atsui patosu de, | Cruel angel's thesis enters... |
| Omoide wo uragiru nara, | ...through the window of your soul. |
| Kono sora wo daite kagayaku, | So, boy, stand tall and embrace the fire of the legend. |
| Shounen yo shinwa ni nare! | Embracing the universe like a blazing star! |
* This is where the lyrics seriously stop fitting the music. I can manage the rest, though!
