The coupling song that came with FictionJunction’s latest single, Toki no Mukou Maboroshi no Sora. This is the more serene of the two, and vocals were done by my most favorite of the four, KEIKO. Her song describes of a paradise that can be found when she is a accompanied to a summer field, much like the concept of the single that dreams will come true if they cross time and enter the sky of illusions.

Original Lyrics
野原
この手を離さず
明日へと続く道を
貴方と二人
行きたい
ハシバミの木陰には
微笑みの記憶だけを
花びらのように
残して
よろこびの待つ野原へ
貴方と行こう
遠くで呼んでいるのは
懐かしい故郷のうた
海を越え風を抱き
心を汚さぬように
ただ愛に耳を澄ませて
憧れの住むところ
真白い最果てまで
一歩ずつ歩いて行くだけ
導く星のあることを
この世界はいつでも
夏の野原の輝きに
溢れていた
憧れの住むところ
夏草の燃え落ちる
最果てまで
続いている
道を
海を越え風を抱き
こころを空の中へ
解き放つ夏の
野原へ

Translation
The Field
I will not let go of this hand
I want us to walk
The road that leads to
Tomorrow
Under the shadow of the hazel tree
I had left behind
Only the memory of your smile
Like a flower petal
Joy awaits at the field
We’ll go there together
The distant call is
The song of our sentimental home
When we cross the sea, and embrace the wind
Our hearts do not feel shame
But our ears can clearly make out love
The places where yearning dwells
Are at the farthest, whitest ends
We’ll merely walk step by step
The leading star
Will always exist in this world
And the radiance of the summer field
Overflows
The places where yearning dwells
Is filled with burnt summer grass
Till the farthest ends
But we’ll still continue
Down the road
When we cross the sea, and embrace the wind
We’ll release our hearts
Into the sky
And the summer field
