Alone
(English)

I hear the wind as it calls out,
And the world suddenly seems so small
And soon I see, the revealing truth,
Of how lonely I can be

The footsteps all upon the sand
Look so depressing when made by one man
And the solo beach is surrounded by the sea
How nostalgic it sounds to me

Without a voice to call back to you
What is the point of screaming at all?
Without a hand to wipe away the tears,
What is the use of crying when I’m all alone?


Chorus:
The sands of time, are all slowly dwindling away
Into the shadowy darkness of eternity
And all the paths I travel seem to go astray
And now I’m back at the start
Despite this fact
I’ll continue walking down the lonely path
No matter how far


The city lights are like tiny stars
Glimmering across the sky
But at night, it seems, that town is all empty
As I stand here on the street

Now what is there a point to call a name.
When there is not a name that you know?
And what’s the point of feeling anything
When the loneliness creates a hole in your heart?


Chorus:
How can I wish upon those lovely stars
when my sky is always filled with the clouds and the rain?
If I want something to crave, something to hold
I’d have to find on my own
So now I must walk
This endless road before me now and today
The road called life.


What is this point of having hope at all?


Chorus:
The sands of time are slowly dwindling away
And the tears in my eyes just won’t fade away,
And all the forks on the road all lead to one place
They end right back at the start.
Despite this fact
I’ll continue walking down the lonely path
...That leads me to you...
This is kinda my own English translation of the song "Alone" by Shimokawa Mikuni. This is the 2nd ending song of the anime "Gensomaden Saiyuki." I love the song sooo much and all that I tried rewriting to song so it could be sung in English. I dunno whether or not I'll send in my own audio for the song (In other words, Me actually singing my translation) but here is the lyrics here.

Disclaimers: The actual song "Alone" does NOT belong to me. It belongs to Shimokawa Mikuni, Saiyuki, and their recording companies. This version of the song DOES belong to me and I would rather have one ask me first before it is used by someone else. I did not create this song for commercial purposes (in other words, to get money out of it), but because I am a fan of the anime and a lover of this song.
