命の火花が闇に舞い 暁の縁、移ろう誾千代 継がれた意志を抱いて 静けさの奥で決意を映し 冷たい頭と震える手の熱が 本当を語り始める 戦場に響く声と 星明りに溶ける涙 ねえ、私はどちらで息をしているのでしょう? 刃の煌めきに心をさらわれ、ああ 触れるたびに滲む温度 煙が螺旋を描き、無常を纏い 誾千代、瞬きの間に咲き誇る花 誇りも渇望も 肩に沈む見えない鎖 受け継いだ火を掲げ、ああ それは誓い、それとも祈り? 痛みも愛も歴史に刻んで 今、進むべき道だけを見つめている 命が掠め合う刹那 右手と左手が打ち合う刹那 響くものは片方か、それとも両方か(what echoes in the void) 「大丈夫」と何度も唱えても、ああ 「それでも」と叫ぶ血が騒ぐ 雷切に名を刻み、刃を抜く 「これが戦乱に咲く女の覚悟!」 素顔を許す勇気 戦いと祈りのあわいで 優しさを光に変えて 誾千代、今を焦がして消える焔 英訳 Sparks of life swirl in darkness Bonds of dawn fade away (Ginchiyo) Embracing inherited will Reflecting resolve in silent depths Cold mind and the warmth of trembling hands Begin to reveal the truth A voice echoes on the battlefield Tears melt into starlight Tell me, where do I truly breathe? Hey! My heart is swept away by the gleam of the blade, ah Every touch blurs the warmth Smoke draws a spiral, draped in impermanence (Ginchiyo), a flower blooms in the blink of an eye Pride and yearning Invisible chains sinking on my shoulder Raising the inherited flame, ah (Is it an oath, or a prayer?) Etching pain and love in history Now, I gaze only at the path I must walk Hey! Life brushes past in an instant Right hand and left hand clash in an instant What echoes—one or both? (what echoes in the void) No matter how many times I chant "I'm alright," ah Still, my blood shouts "Even so" Hey! Carve my name on Raikiri, unsheathing the blade "This is the resolve of a woman blooming in war!" The courage to reveal my true self Between battle and prayer Turning kindness into light (Ginchiyo), a burning flame that scorches and fades away in this moment
