Makka na Chikai (Red-Blooded Oath)
>> Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Saw this video on ALP's blog - i'll explain here
It's a game called Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判 literally "Turnabout Trial"), English version "Phoenx Wright: Ace Attorney"
but someone changed the characters' dialogs to lyrics of "Makka Na Chikai" (真赤な誓い literally "Red-Blooded Oath but blood IS red ain't it...) from the manga/anime series Busō Renkin (武装錬金 literally "Armored Alchemist")
i posted lyrics in rōmaji (romanised not necessary phonetically Japanese) and - much to my relief - English translation
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
omae to
tachi tomaru hima nankanai sa kangaeru yoyuu nankanai sa
arittake no omoi mune ni shakunetsu no tatakai no naka he

ENGLISH (some literal-translation)
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
With you…
There’s no time to stand idle, and no luxury to just think
Gather your fighting spirit in your chest, within a raging battlefield
In a world filled with massive things, hurdling walls, gathering darkness
I won’t admit defeat, pushing myself to the limit!
Right now, there are so many things I don’t understand,
But for now I’ll just press forward on this path I believe in
It doesn’t matter what enemies, or allies, may cross my path
I will never let this hand go! A red-blooded oath!
Always… always… Chasing after
Ever on… ever on… The strength of tomorrow
Anywhere… anywhere… My heart burns with you
I was always filled with such hope, for that smile, a dream of children
I must protect it at all costs, as long as my boiling blood flows
I don’t care how it happens; I want a world where no one cries
I will be sure to find it, the key to unlock all truths
Even if I should slip up, and feel depressed,
I won’t admit defeat, pressing my way forwards
I will trust in my mission, to protect all loved ones
I will hold it close always! A red-blooded oath!
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
Oh… Oh… Da da da da da da
Right now, there are so many things I don’t understand,
But for now I’ll just press forward on this path I believe in
It doesn’t matter what enemies, or allies, may cross my path
I will never let this hand go! A red-blooded oath!
Always… always… Chasing after
Ever on… ever on… The strength of tomorrow
Always… always… Chasing after
Anywhere… anywhere… My heart burns with you
