Code Geass ED1 - Yuukyou Seishunka ~ English cover

/!\ Rien ne m'appartient excepté ma voix et ma traduction /!\

(Enfin, "traduction". Je parle pas japonais, hélas, donc c'est en réalité une adaptation poétique de diverses trads' littérales que j'ai trouvé en ligne-)

Deux covers en un mois whaaaat °o° Je sais pas ce que j'ai mais j'espère que ça va durer. Quoi qu'il en soit, j'espère comme toujours que vous aimerez ce cover autant que j'ai aimé le chanter =D

/!\ I own nothing except my voice and the translation /!\

(Although, "translation". I don't speak japanese, sadly, so this is actually more of a poetic adaptation of various literal translations I've found online.)

Two covers in one month whaaaat °o° I don't know what's with me but I hope it'll last. Anyway, as always I hope you'll enjoy this cover as much as I enjoyed making it =D

Lyrics:

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Enemies such as weakness and rage
Are they not the toughest to engage?
Yet every youthful prisoner
Must face these shapeless foes on their own

Somehow, even after all this time
I can't understand you, Father mine

A night of craze. I'd given chase
After my brothers, fading in the shadows
That's when I heard whispered words:
Lucifer himself beckoning me

Though I should be yearning for
A dream that doesn't end in woe
You are my life and soul
For you I'd give up my all

Thus I live, ever since I was born:
Butterfly, flower, caught in a storm
Knowing my homeland is abloom
In springtime neverending

Though my hands might be soaked in blood
Though I might turn my back on God
Never forget and never doubt:
My spirit is made of the finest thread

Understand, I pray, oh Mother dear
Even if I never show my tears

The dew covered grass underneath my feet will never dry

This is the day when I obtain
The very meaning of my existence
My flag will rise against the skies
Drenched in blood from righteous sacrifice

All I did was loving you
So much I carved it into
My chest, like a tattoo
And I embrace this wound

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Warriors with such shining eyes
Treated like pawns, don't they realize?
What if this youthful chivalry
Is nothing except for a foolish dream?

I am still unable, even now
To protect my love. Oh Father, how...

Can I find the truth? Is there even one in this ever-changing world?

Thus I lived, ever since I was born:
Butterfly, flower, caught in a storm
Knowing my homeland soon would fall
In springtime neverending

Though my hands are now soaked in blood
Though I have turned my back on God
Never forget and never doubt:
My spirit is made of the finest thread

I'll be worthy, Mother, you will see
You'll bestow your honor upon me

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Fighting for a noble cause
Knowing no better, seeing no flaws
Such is the youthful beauty
Precisely because it can never last

Just you wait and see, the day is nigh
I shall overthrow you, Father mine

They will know the truth. I'll leave it all for the precious world to see.
