YOASOBI – The Blessing aka Shukufuku (English Translation Lyrics)[Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Opening]
Year: 2022
Lyrics:
Falling asleep thinking of the stars floating far far away,
No matter where the future you chose, and the path you wished for, lead,
It’s fine because I’ll live together with you.
The memories of the distant past,
You continued wishing on this planet which you were brought to.
What if we could leap into the sparkling landscape far away.
Praying by yourself in a lonely world,
You dream, and see the future.
If you have chosen to move forward instead of running, then…
It’s not the image that someone drew,
It’s not the stage someone has chosen,
It’s the story that we will go on making,
Because I will definitely not leave you alone.
Until the blade hidden in your heart severs the chains someday,
Forever, ah-
I’ll fight together with you.
The destiny that has been imposed upon you,
Destroy all of that.
We are not puppets.
It’s your world. It’s your future.
You can turn it into any story you want.
In the cockpit which you board,
As if to escape, or to hide,
Your crybaby self is no longer there.
Before I knew it, you have become this strong.
This is your life.
(It doesn’t belong to anyone else.)
There is no answer to it.
(It’s the path you choose by yourself.)
Just break the spell already,
Now is the time to leap out of the fiction that has been set up,
Now is the time to fly away, ah-
At a speed that no one can catch up,
You kick up from the ground and into the air, and soar in the sky.
The future which is cursed,
You are the one who will go on changing it with your hands.
By moving forward without escaping,
I’m sure there are lots of things you can grab hold of.
You can become even stronger.
The fact that you were born in this star,
The fact that you will continue living in this world,
So that you can love it all, ah-
I give my fullest blessing to you.
