Original Lyrics: Zero Tokei Lyrics (Romanized)
Translated Title:
Zero Clock
1.Led along by a buried memory,
2.Shining within my hand,
3.I looked up to a sky of embarkation.4.
5.Time proceeds, repeating in cycles,
6.As it follows this ring of fate.
7.The future’s obstructed… the past closed off…
8.But I’ll make my past this eternal winter!9.
10.The hand of the clock that kept track of this ending world,
11.Even reaching zero, will never stop.
12.I’ll keep counting these infinite nights,
13.In order to gently shine upon someone’s awakening.14.

15.Amid transparent scenery, where only singing voices remain,
16.A flower bloomed… as if trying to introduce color,
17.While covering up the truth.18.
19.Fake smiles that deceive time,
20.Steal a glimpse of that fated day.
21.Hearing the melody that rings out the moment everything falls,
22.There’s only one thing I’ll wish for!23.
24.Even if the reason we were born into the same world,
25.Is merely to part… or to feel this pain…
26.If this is the end, please hold me closer;
27.This empty shell of feelings that yearned for someone….28.
29.Upon this chilled dial are the frozen traces of tears;
30.Still keeping it from moving freely.31.
32.The hand of the clock that kept track of this ending world,
33.Maintains bonds that will never be broken,
34.Allowing the stars that fade with the coming of morning,
35.To keep shining powerfully across the sky.36.
37.The new meaning I discovered within this very moment,
38.Was an eternity that will never be reduced to zero,
39.So as I’m set free, I want to go searching,
40.For someone who loved dearly the sun of spring.
