Tsujitsuma Awase ni Umareta Bokura Lyrics English translation

At the base of a mountain in a faraway country, the purest water in this world gushed forth
Soon, it became a river in which schools of fish gathered
They were eaten by starving bears, who were skinned by a hunter
He sold their pelts at the market and bought a hair ornament for his daughter
Wicked people came and took everything away
Right at the middle of history, during the era when God too was a baby
The tears shed by a mother soaked the earth smelling of ashes
They evaporated after being charred by the sun, and turned into polluted rain clouds

These clouds crossed the ocean and made rain fall on a desert which had been dry for 5 months
A poet who survived by drinking the rain water returned to his country of birth and sang a song
By the time children who hummed it were recruited and sent out to the front-lines
A girl's whose head was blown off became dust and returned to the earth, without anyone knowing about that

Great trees which grew up there were chopped down to build a town
We were born with dirty faces by the time dark smoke rose through the sky
Some people are killed by well-intentioned people, while others manage to earn a living with their bad intentions
Other lives were saved because they stayed spectators, we were born because it was logical

The values crucified on skyscrapers are shedding tears of blood
Because people whose only virtue is consumption all throw stones at them
The paintbrush of a painter who draws paintings that never sold was smashed
He lives below the overhead rail tracks where a train full of vain people travelsamazarashi - Tsujitsuma Awase ni Umareta Bokura - http://motolyrics.com/amazarashi/tsujitsuma-awase-ni-umareta-bokura-lyrics-english-translation.html
Songs are made to fit people, categorizing all their emotions
When you feel sad, listen to this song, the ones who are lonely should listen to that song
If you start doubting, not wanting to be deceived, you come to think everything is dodgy
When you can't trust people anymore, you're categorized as being mentally sick

My unhealthy heart is starving and yelling out it wants to see more tragedies
A stranger who found a just cause decapitates without feeling guilty
Murders, adultery, religion, and the popular stores
School bullying, the TV dramas at 9 PM, war and the hit chart

These are stones everyone stumbles on, but since everyone thinks they're special
A boy who wasn't chosen stood up, tightly grasping a knife
If the throng in front of the train station where anonymity is taken for granted was dyed in red
It's because the sunset was beautiful
We were born because it was logical

We're still struggling at the end of this foolish history
We don't understand anything after all, and only talk about forgiving or not forgiving
The criminals who got death penalty, the wicked pretending to be saints
The sinful you, and me too, one day we'll all become dust and return to the earth

If flowers are to bloom on top of it, that would be enough to repay the world
If people are going to love each other there, that would be enough to give value to this world
That's why you should at least love people, love them your entire life
We were born because it was logical, in this good for nothing world
