Yozora no Mukou

"Beyond the Night Sky"

Sung by: Yui & Suga Shikao

Are kara bokutachi wa
Nanika wo shinjite koreta ka naa
Yozora no mukou ni wa
Ashita ga mou matte iru

Because of that, I wonder if
We could believe in something...
Beyond the night sky
Tomorrow is already waiting

Dareka no koe ni ki zuki
Bokura wa mi wo hisometa
Kouen no fensu goshi ni
Yoru no kaze ga fuita

Hearing someone’s voice
We hid ourselves
On the other side of the park fence
As the night wind was blowing

Kimi ga nanika tsutaeyou to
Nigirikaeshita sono te wa
Boku no kokoro no yarakai basho wo
Ima demo mada shime tsukeru

As if you were trying to say something
In the way your hand returned my grasp
In a soft place in my heart
Even now, I still feel it

Are kara bokutachi wa
Nanika wo shinjite koreta ka naa
Mado wo sotto akete miru
Fuyu no kaze no nioi ga shita

Because of that, I wonder if
We could believe in something...
Quietly, I tried to open the door
It smelled of the winter wind

Kanashimi tte itsuka wa
Kiete shimau mono na no ka naa
Tameiki wa sukoshi dake
Shiroku nokotte sugu kieta

Is sadness something
That someday completely disappears?
My sigh, for a short time
Showed white, then vanished

Arukidasu koto sae mo
Ichiichi tamerau kuse ni
Tsumaranai joushiki nado
Tsubuseru to omotteta

Even when I start to walk
I hesitate with each step
I had thought that I could crush
My useless common sense

Kimi ni hanashita kotoba wa
Dore dake nokotte iru no?
Boku no kokoro no ichiban oku de
Karamawari shitsuzukeru

The words that I said to you
How many of them remain?
In the deepest part of my heart
The empty efforts continue

Ano koro no mirai ni
Bokura wa tatte iru no ka naa
Subete ga omou hodo
Umaku wa ikanai mitai da

That time in the future
I wonder if, there, we stand...
It seems that things are
Not going as well as we hoped

Kono mama doko mademo
Hibi wa tsuzuite iku no ka naa
Kumo no nai hoshizora ga
Mado no mukou ni tsuzuiteru

I wonder how far along
This everyday life will continue
The cloudless, starry sky
Will continue past the door

Are kara bokutachi wa
Nanika wo shinjite koreta ka naa
Yozora no mukou ni wa
Mou asu ga matte iru

Because of that, I wonder if
We could believe in something...
Beyond the night sky
Already, the morning is waiting

i am so in love with this song now...definitely becoming one of my all-time favorites. especially with Yui's voice... it's heaven. the song is really beautiful, and i prefer this version of the song ( earlier version sung by SMAP) as it has a string orchestra playing as backup.. and both yui and suga shikao are guitarists.. what more can you ask for in these kind of song that set you into a reflective mood. i think the mood in the song is of a sad one... but hopeful.

i know i need to get over my setbacks. i just can't get myself to do it. am still frustrated with what i've done, or what i could have done better. been happening one too many times. if things aren't going to change for the better i think i'll end up a very cynical person...total opposite of my optimistic self. and i'm losing control...losing patience.... sigh, where are those days when i was proud to call myself a lighthouse - stable, firm foundation, illuminating the lives of others.

feel like i'm hitting a glass ceiling somewhere. not progressing from what i am already now. like stagnating.

glass ceiling... is this becoming a habit?

days feel like darkness sometimes.
