Essence Kanako Ito – 'Beyond the Sorrow'

Beyond Sadness
Overflow SchoolDays ED \Lyrics/Composition: KIRIKO \Arrangement: HIKO \Vocals: Kanako Itou
If I could reach beyond sadness \I wouldn't need anything anymore, not warmth nor tomorrow \The dream that descended into the dark of silence \Who? In a fleeting moment, the light on my cheek spilled \Why? A world that was too fragile \Without knowing how to stop it \I could only wish, yes, for oblivion \If I could reach beyond sadness \I wouldn't need to feel anything anymore \Why...? Words I keep ruminating on, promises that have faded away \Resound beautifully above all else \And now have abruptly ended \Beyond despair, will you return? \The supreme love, on the sails of eternity \I entrust my untainted self \If I could reach beyond sadness \I would no longer fear even a lonely slumber
(林子子's translation)
Towards the Other Side of Sadness
VO: Kanako Itou
If I could reach the other side of sadness
I would no longer need warmth or tomorrow
A dream lightly dances down into the dark silence
Who? In a fleeting moment, the light shone on my cheek
Why? In this overly fragile world
I can find no way to stop it
I only pray for oblivion
If I could reach the other side of sadness
I would no longer need to feel anything beyond that
Why?
Words repeated too often, promises obtained inadvertently
Resonated extraordinarily beautifully
And now, they are cut off silently
If I could reach the other side of despair
Would you return?
Supreme love raises its eternal sails
Offering my untainted body
If I could reach the other side of sadness
Even a lonely, long sleep, I would no longer fear
