[Lyrics] Angel Beats! Insert Song – Crow Song [Girls Dead Monster]

I didn’t realize that the Angel Beats insert song singles would be released this soon so unexpectedly I’ll be working on all of them today. First off is Crow Song which appeared near the end of episode 1. Hopefully I’ll have the other two songs Alchemy and My Song up relatively soon. For now enjoy my transliteration and translation of the song.

Romaji

Haigo ni ha SHATTAA no kabe
Yubisaki ha tetsu no nioi
Susume Hajike Donomichi komu desho
find a way Koko kara
found out Mitsukeru
rock wo kanadero
Tooku wo misuero
Ikitsugi sae dekinai machi no naka

Hoshizora ga saikou no butai
Karasu tachi ga KAA KAA to naku yo
Itsumo omou yo Itsu neteru n daro
find a way Atashi mo
song for Utau yo
rock wo hibikase
crow to utau yo

Itsumade konna tokoro ni iru?
Sou iu yatsu mo ita ki ga suru
Urusai koto dake iu no nara
Shikkoku no hane ni sarawarete kiete kure

Zenryoku de mou taore sou da
Yubi mo surikirete itai
Demo ne Yaru yo Kon’ya mo BIGGU na SUTOORII
find a way Koko kara
found out Mitsukeru
rock wo kanadero
luck wo utau yo

Itsumade datte koko ni iru yo
Toorisugite iku hito no naka
Yami ni tozasareta SUTEEJI de
Ima kibou no uta utau yo
Anata datte tsukareteru desho
Sono senaka ni mo todoketai yo
Konna kurayami no naka kara no
Kibou terasu hikari no uta wo
Sono uta wo

English Translation

Behind me is a wall of shutters
My fingertips reek of iron
Keep going and burst out; Every road is packed
Find a way out of here
We’ll find it out
Rock out!
Look far ahead!
You can’t ever take a breather in the city

The starry sky is the best stage
The crows loudly caw
I always wonder when am I sleeping
I’ll find a way too
I’ll sing a song for you
Shout out that rock!
I’ll sing with the crows

How long will you be in this sort of place?
I felt you were that kind of guy
If whining is all you do
Then let the jet black wings take you away into nothing

Even with all my power it’s collapsing
Wearing out my fingers hurts
But you know what? I’ll keep playing; Tonight will also be a big story
Find a way out of here
We’ll find it out
Rock out!
I’ll sing for luck

I’ll continue to be here
Where the people pass by
On the stage closed off by the darkness
Now I’ll sing a song of hope
You must be tired too
I want this song to reach you
From within such a darkness
The song of light shines with hope
This very song

Kanji

背後にはシャッターの壁
指先は鉄の匂い
進め　弾け　どのみち混むでしょ
find a way　ここから
found out　見つける
rockを奏でろ
遠くを見据えろ
息継ぎさえできない街の中

星空が最高の舞台
カラスたちカーカーと鳴くよ
いつも思うよ　いつ寝てるんだろ
find a way　あたしも
song for　歌うよ
rockを響かせ
crowと歌うよ

いつまでこんなところに居る？
そう言う奴もいた気がする
うるさいことだけ言うのなら
漆黒の羽にさらわれて消えてくれ

全力でもう倒れそうだ
指もすり切れて痛い
でもね　演るよ　今夜もビッグなストーリー
find a way　ここから
found out　見つける
rockを奏でろ
luckを歌うよ

いつまでだってここに居るよ
通り過ぎていく人の中
闇に閉ざされたステージで
今希望の詩歌うよ
あなただって疲れてるでしょ
その背中にも届けたいよ
こんな暗闇の中からの
希望照らす光の歌を
その歌を
