supercell - My Dearest

My second post will be a translation of supercell's new song, My Dearest. Supercell is a band that has no fixed vocalist. Instead, they like to pick a guest female vocalist every once in a while to sing for them. These vocalists even include hatsune miku, a vocaloid. I have been listening to supercell since the time when nagi was their guest vocalist. Nagi is a person on nico nico douga (simply put, Japan's youtube) who covers songs, kinda like sam tsui on youtube. I might do translations of her songs with supercell in the future.
Well anyway, back to the focus of this post. This new song, My Dearest is the opening song for the new anime series called Guilty Crown. As ryo (composer of supercell) himself said, this song is meant to convey the feelings of wanting to be a unique pillar of strength to your loved one. For those who watched Guilty Crown, this can be seen as an illustration of inori and shu's relationship. Also, there are certain bits in the lyrics that can be seen as references to the anime but I will leave it to you to discover them as you read through my translation. Enjoy.

So everything that makes me whole
今君に捧げよう
I'm yours

ねぇ、こんなに笑えたこと
生まれて初めてだよ
きっと私はね
この日のために間違いだらけの
道を歩いてきたんだ
ずっと一人で

遠く遠くどこまでも遠く
君と二人　手を取って永遠に
どこまでだって行けるはず
もう一人じゃないと君はそう言い
また笑う

守るべき大事なものが今あって
だけど為す術もなく立ち尽くす時は
可能性を失って暗闇が君を覆い隠し
絶望に飲み込まれそうな時は
私は君を照らす明かりになるから
例えこの世界の王にだって消せはしない
So everything that makes me whole
今君に捧げよう

I'm yours


ねぇ、この世界にはたくさんの
幸せがあるんだね
いつか二人なら

誰かが君のこと嘘つきと呼んで
心ない言葉で傷付けようとしても
世界が君のことを信じようともせずに
茨の冠を被せようとしても
私は君だけの味方になれるよ
その孤独、痛みを私は知っている
So everything that makes me whole
今君に捧げよう

I'm yours


いつか私を知ることができたなら
必ずその場所に私はいるから
そこに希望の欠片すらなかったとしても
私が在ってはならないものであっても
君は忘れないでいてくれることを
誰よりも私がそのことを知ってる
だから私は君のために全てを
今、捧ごう

So everything that makes me whole
I give it all to you

I'm yours


Hey, this is the first time
That I have laughed so much
All the mistakes that I have committed alone
Must have been for the sake of meeting you today

No matter how far
With my hand in yours forever
The two of us can go anywhere
You told me that I am not alone anymore
And that made me smile again

Now that there is something important to protect
but when you are at your wits' end and come to a standstill
Losing possibilities, you become shrouded in darkness
When despair threatens to swallow you whole
I will become the light that shines on you
Even the king of this world cannot extinguish me

So everything that makes me whole
I give it all to you

I'm yours


Hey, aren't there different happiness in this world?
Some day, if it's the two of us


Even when someone calls you a liar
and tries to hurt you with heartless words
When the world forces you to wear a crown of thorns
Without even trying to believe in you
I will become your ally
because I know the loneliness and pain that you are going through
So everything that makes me whole
I give it all to you

I'm yours

Some day, when you manage to understand me
I will definitely be at that place
Even if there aren't even fragments of hope there
Even if I have become something that I should never be
The fact that you have not forgotten me
Is something I know better than anyone else
And that is why for your sake
I offer my everything to you
