This is a little sketchy, so don't take my word for it if something sounds wrong, but I really wanted to try to do an EVERLONG track in English. There's something really sweet - almost childish - about the tone of Mitsuhiro's lyrics.
ヨナギ / Evening Calm
God doesn't exist, but
Even if there's no one to hear,
Somehow, I still find myself praying now
“There's no such thing as eternal life”
The girl who told me that,
She already can't go to the land of toys
You're drifting about and sleeping on a sunken ship
And now, I'm riding on the back of a whale that's rocking from side to side, side to side*
Searching for you
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you**
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?
Your red blood has a timbre that can melt through the ice
Somewhere, even now, it's still flowing
Our never-ending love was blazing,
And that fire is still burning gently now,
So it can light your way wherever you are
You're smoking a cigarette by the shoreline,
And the smoke is obscuring your outline
While I'm searching for you
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?
You're drifting about and sleeping on a sunken ship
And now, I'm riding on the back of a whale that's rocking from side to side, side to side,
Searching for you
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
You're not here,
And I have every night of my life left to sail until I find you
Right?
Notes:
*In hindsight, it might actually be the girl riding the whale - it's not really clear
**I don't know if I'm reading this right, but I think the idea is that the girl has passed away and he's searching for her in his dreams
