SIDE-BY-SIDE

Translated Title:: ELEGY

1.“Words alone can never save you.” Suddenly held by that thought
2.The whole word is linking arms, standing in my way.3.
4.When I was a child, I told a once-in-a-lifetime lie.
5.The bill for it has now come due, and I can’t get out of it the way I usually do6.
7.You can hear my voice, right? I thought I already knew you could.
8.You always turn your back to face away from the place sadness arrives.9.

10.Don’t lean on love. Don’t speak of love.
11.Don’t try so hard to brandish it about.12.
13.Why do you rely on it so quickly? Why do you depend on it so?
14.Don’t cover one eye with something so unclear.15.
16.Though we’re inhaling the same oxygen, we can no longer let out the same breath.
17.If wilting is what defines a flower, then I want to burn it right, until the very end.18.
19.There are things we understand better by the grip of a hand than the exchange of words.
20.And so, we let go of each other’s hands… Because we love talking too much21.
22.Don’t lean on love. Don’t speak of love.
23.Don’t try so hard to brandish it about.24.
25.Why do you rely on it so quickly? Why do you depend on it so?
26.On a theorem that can’t be resolved in a whole lifetime.27.
28.You sing, in a voice louder than love. You dance, in a light fainter than dreams.
29.No matter how hideously that light shines.
30.We were chosen.31.
32.You sing, in a voice louder than love. You dance, in a light fainter than dreams.
33.No matter if my body, if the world stubbornly rejects me
34.I’ll choose tomorrow.35.
36.You sing, in a voice louder than love. You dance, in a light fainter than dreams.
37.No matter how hideously that light shines.
38.We were chosen.

Depending on the characters, the title can also be read as "Many Changes" or "Late Summer"

illion - BANKA English Translation
Tokyo Ghoul (film) Theme Song English Translation

1.言葉でなんか救えない　そんな想いに抱かれてしまった
2.全世界が手をつなぎ　僕の行く手を通せんぼする3.
4.子供ながらについたあの　一世一代の嘘のツケが
5.今になって降ってきたの？　得意の許され方も通じない6.
7.声が聞こえるでしょ？　知っていたはずだよ
8.悲しみが来た場所　君が背を　いつも向ける方9.
10.愛にもたれないで　愛を語らないで
11.無理にふりかざしたりはしないでよ12.
13.なんですぐ頼るの？　なんでよりかかるの？
14.そんな　曖昧なもので　片目を　ふさがないで15.
16.同じ酸素を吸ってるのに　もう同じ息は吐けない
17.枯れるまでが花なのなら　最後まで　ちゃんと燃やすよ18.
19.声で交わすよりも手を握る方が　わかることがあるよ
20.だから僕らは　その手を離すの　お喋りが好きなの21.
22.愛にもたれないで　愛を語らないで
23.無理にふりかざしたりはしないでよ24.
25.なんですぐ頼るの？　なんでよりかかるの？
26.一生費やしても　解けぬ定理に27.
28.愛より大きな声で君は唄う　夢よりもかすかな光の中で舞う
29.たとえどれだけその光が　醜く輝いていたってさ
30.僕ら　選ばれてしまった31.
32.愛より大きな声で君は歌う　夢よりもかすかな光の中で舞う
33.たとえこの身体も世界も　僕をかたくなに拒んでも
34.僕は明日を選ぶ35.
36.愛より大きな声で君は唄う　夢よりもかすかな光の中で舞う
37.たとえどれだけその光が　醜く輝いていたってさ
38.僕ら　選ばれてしまった
