Afterglow – Scarlet Sky

当たり前のように

こんなにも近くでつながってて

欠けるなんて思わないよ

atarimae no yō ni

As if it was already a given

konna ni mo chikaku de tsunagattete

We were connected so near each other

kakeru nante omowanai yo

We never thought that it was lacking

決めつけられた狭い箱

ジタバタぶつかっても

どうにもなんないことは

わかり始めたし…

kimetsukerareta semai bako

In this predetermined narrow box

jitabata butsukatte mo

Even if you struggle and bump into it

dō ni mo nannai koto wa

The fact that I was helplessness

wakarihajimetashi…

was something I began to understand…

頭ん中めぐらせた

悲しませたくないから

ただ、笑う顔が見たい(とても)

戦うための制服を着て

勇み足で教室へ進む

開け放つドアを信じ、進め！

atama n naka meguraseta

I kept it inside my mind

kanashimasetaku nai kara

Because I didn’t want to make you sad

tada, warau kao ga mitai (totemo)

It just, I wanted to see your smiling face (So much)

tatakau tame no seifuku o kite

Wearing my uniform for battle

isamiashi de kyōshitsu e susumu

Recklessly, we’ll head towards the classroom

akehanatsu doa o shinji, susume!

Believe that the door can be thrown open, onward!

あの日見た黄昏の空

照らす光は燃えるスカーレット

繋がるからこの空で

離れてもいつでも

あたしたちだけの居場所で

どんなときも共に集まろう

叫ぶ想いは 赤い夕焼けに…

ano hi mita tasogare no sora

The twilight sky that day

terasu hikari wa moeru Sukāretto

The illuminating light was a burning scarlet

tsunagaru kara kono sora de

Because this sky connects us

hanarete mo itsu de mo

Always, even if we’re seperated

atashi-tachi dake no i basho de

In this place that we can call our own

donna toki mo tomo ni atsumarō

let meet up here no matter what

sakebu omoi wa akai yūyake ni…

These feeling we want to shout out, towards this red sunset….

この世界は生きづらくて

眉間にしわ寄せた

睨んだって変わらないね

試練は乗り越えるものと

キレイごとばかりで

苛立つ指先には

文字が並んでた

kono sekai wa iki zuraku te

Living is difficult in this world

miken ni shiwayose ta

My forehead is gettting wrinkled

niranda tte kawaranai ne

It won’t change even if you glare at it

shiren wa norikoeru mono to

Trials are meant to be overcame

kirei-goto bakari de

Only saying pretty things

iradatsu yubisaki ni wa

In my infuriated fingertips

moji ga narandeta

The words formed

苦しいときも

心はいつも正直でいたい

本音は伝えてほしい(君の)

つまらないことは塗りつぶして

何でも吐き出せる仲間たち

雲間の向こうへ共に、行(ゆ)くよ！

kurushī toki mo

Even in hard times

kokoro wa itsu mo shōjiki de itai

I want to always be true to my heart

honne wa tsutaete hoshī (kimi no)

I want (you) to say what you really feel

tsumaranai koto wa nuritsubushite

Paint over all those boring things

nan de mo hakidaseru nakama-tachi

My comrades who can say anything they want

kumoma no mukō e tomo ni, yuku yo！

Together, let’s head towards the back of the clouds. Let’s go!

あの日見た夕影(せきえい)の空

手招きした輝きスカーレット

1人じゃない

嘆くより声に出せばきっと

始まりをここで始める

思い出して今日も いつの日も

見上げれば 微笑んだ夕焼けが…

ano hi mita sekiei no sora

That one special sky we saw that day

temaneki shita kagayaki Sukāretto

It was a beckoning radiant scarlet

Hitori ja nai

You’re not alone

nageku yori koe ni dase ba kitto

Rather than crying, if you let out your voice, surely,

hajimari o koko de hajimeru

Start the beginning here

omoidashite kyō mo itsu no hi mo

Remember this today, remember this in any day

miagere ba hohoenda yūyake ga…

When you look up, this smiling sunset will…

夕間暮(ゆうまぐ)れを連れて帰るなら

怖くないよ 朝を迎えても

大事な大事な空は 一緒さ

yūmagure o tsurete kaerunara

If you bring this twilight sky with you when you go home

kowaku nai yo asa o mukaete mo

It won’t be scary, even if you face the daylight

daiji na daiji na sora wa issho-sa

We’re together through this sky that we treasure so much.

あの日見た黄昏の空

照らす光は燃えるスカーレット

繋がるからこの空で

離れてもいつでも

あたしたちだけの居場所で

どんなときも共に集まろう

叫ぶ想いは 赤い夕焼けに…

First Afterglow song!

I don’t have too much to say about the song. I’m not a huge Afterglow fan but hey, Emo Cocoa Ran sounds good.

I appreciate any suggestions you can give in order to make this translation better.
