こんにちは！
Hellos and welcome, dear readers!
結構初めからですが最近それ以上に
とても迷走してる気がするタカペンです！
So I've been kind of slacking off on my dual language blog entries, but hopefully I can get back more or less on track now.
それでもちゃんと英語カバー動画の投稿します！
これ大事！
Here's my new English cover song!

動画について/About the Video
実はこの曲、配信されてすぐ聴いてはいたのですが
うん、何この難しすぎるメロディーって思って
やらないつもりでした(笑)
I'd checked out this song the moment it came out, but was like nah, I can't make heads or tails out of the melody, I ain't gonna cover it.
ひょんなことでやることになりましたが
やって良かったです！ 楽しかった！！
Ended up translating and covering it, and surprisingly enjoyed it more than I initially expected. lol
難しいって思った部分も意外といけたし！
むしろ別部分が練習不足で粗が目立ちます(笑)
The part that I thought I couldn't possibly do was a bit less difficult that I imagined, so it was the other parts that I couldn't quite cover well enough with my lack of practice.
タカペンの永遠の課題は練習不足なんだろな～
と思ってます
Lack of practice will likely be my bane forever, unfortunately!
でもいいや、英訳歌詞が本命だもの！
歌じゃないもの！！
But hey, my main focus is really on the translyrics, not the singing, so yeah, the singing can kind of take a back seat... :)
英語歌詞 / English Translated Lyics
Thousands of wishes
Thousands of pledges
May they all reach you
Thousands of wounds
Thousands of bloods
They're all badges of honor
Go beyond the time and spin
Keeping happiness hidden withal
Leaving traces of war
Daring to speak no more
Living true within the heart
Things such as truth
They are invisible
They are things you only feel
Go to sleep, go to sleep, o’ you world
The sky and the wind too, even the beast
Go to sleep, go to sleep, o’ loneliness
Even the overlapping times
A never-ending dream, it’s as if
It’s a mirage that tells your tale like so
Thousands of wishes
Thousands of pledges
May they all reach you
Thousands of wounds
Thousands of bloods
They’re all badges of honor
Go to sleep, go to sleep, o’ you world
The sky and the wind too, even the beast
Go to sleep, go to sleep, o’ loneliness
Even the overlapping times
Go and dance, go and dance, o’ you heart
The shouting star, see, it’s wandering about
A never-ending dream, it’s as if
It’s a mirage that tells your tale like so
