平沢進 - "星を知る者" / Hirasawa Susumu - "The Man Who Knows the Stars" Lyrics

This is a simple yet beautiful song. It was the opening song for a Playstation game called "Lagnacure Legend"--don't know if there's an official English translation kicking around for this. Anyway, the song was not released on any of Mr. Hirasawa's regular albums, but he offers an mp3 version for sale on his website for 300 yen. I believe this is a remix (?) he did using his solar energy-powered studio, so I'm just going to file this under "Hirasawa Energy Works" for the album tag. ^^;


平沢進 - "星を知る者"


道の砂が聞く
無音の星の歌
夢は確かと
砂塵を舞あげ

風に波は立ち
定めの下に消え
何を見せるか
ひとときの命に

月も見ぬ夜の
迷いを消すように
遠く応える
木々よ何を知る?

風よ誘えよその国へ
木々よ守れよこの夢を
波よ洗えよ行く道を
砂よ描けよその理由を

風よ誘えよその国へ
木々よ守れよこの夢を
波よ洗えよ行く道を
砂よ描けよその理由を

道の砂が聞く
無音の星の歌
夢は確かと
砂塵を舞あげ

Hirasawa Susumu - "Hoshi o Shiru Mono"

Michi no suna ga kiku
Mugon no hoshi no uta
Yume wa tashika to
Sajin o maiage


Kaze ni nami wa tachi
Sadame no moto ni kie
Nani o miseru ka
Hitotoki no inochi ni


Tsuki no minu yoru no
Mayoi o kesu you ni
Tooku kotaeru
Kigi yo nani o shiru?


Kaze yo sasoe yo sono kuni e
Kigi yo mamore yo kono yume o
Nami yo arae yo yuku michi o
Suna yo egake yo sono wake o


Kaze yo sasoe yo sono kuni e
Kigi yo mamore yo kono yume o
Nami yo arae yo yuku michi o
Suna yo egake yo sono wake o


Michi no suna ga kiku
Mugon no hoshi no uta
Yume wa tashika to
Sajin o maiage



Hirasawa Susumu - "The Man Who Knows the Stars"


The sand on the road hears
The song of the silent stars
The dream is certain
Whirl up clouds of sand

Waves rise up in the wind
And vanish just as destined
What do they reveal
To this temporary life?

In order to ease the doubts
Of a moonless night,
The trees in the distance answer me
Oh Trees, what do you know?

Oh Wind, invite me to your land
Oh Trees, guard this dream
Oh Waves, wash the path I tread
Oh Sand, illustrate the reason for it

Oh Wind, invite me to your land
Oh Trees, guard this dream
Oh Waves, wash the path I tread
Oh Sand, illustrate the reason for it

The sand on the road hears
The song of the silent stars
The dream is certain
Whirl up clouds of sand
