Tales of Abyss - Karma

ガラス玉ひとつ 落とされた 追いかけてもうひとつ落っこちた
(Garasudama hitotsu otosareta oikakete mou hitotsu okkochita)
I dropped a marble; when I chased after it, I dropped another
ひとつ分の陽だまりに ひとつだけ残ってる
(Hitotsubun no hidamari ni hitotsu dake nokotteru)
Only one remains in a single sunny spot

心臓が始まった時 嫌でも人は場所を取る
(Shinzou ga hajimatta toki iya demo hito ha basho wo toru)
The moment their hearts begin to beat, like it or not, people claim their own place
奪われない様に 守り続けてる
(Ubawarenai you ni mamoritsudzuketeru)
They keep protecting it so that it isn't snatched away

汚さずに保ってきた手でも　汚れて見えた
(Yogosazu ni tamotte kita te demo yogorete mieta)
Though I kept my hands clean, they look dirty
記憶を疑う前に　記憶に疑われてる
(Kioku wo utagau mae ni kioku ni utagawareteru)
Before I doubt my memory, my memory will doubt me


必ず僕らは出会うだろう　同じ鼓動の音を目印にして
(Kanarazu bokura ha deau darou onaji kodou no oto wo mejirushi ni shite)
We'll meet each other for sure, making our identical heartbeats into our landmarks
ここに居るよ　いつだって呼んでるから
(Koko ni iru yo itsudatte yonderu kara)
I am here, because I'm always calling
くたびれた理由が　重なって揺れる時
(Kutabireta riyuu ga kasanatte yureru toki)
When our worn-out motives overlap and tremble,
生まれた意味を知る
(Umareta imi wo shiru)
I'll know the meaning of my birth


存在が続く限り 仕方無いから場所を取る
(Sonzai ga tsudzuku kagiri shikata nai kara basho wo toru)
So long as we continue to exist, we can't help but claim our own place
ひとつ分の陽だまりに　ふたつはちょっと入れない
(Hitotsubun no hidamari ni futatsu ha chotto hairenai)
It's impossible for two to enter a single sunny spot

ガラス玉ひとつ　落とされた　落ちた時　何か弾き出した
(Garasudama hitotsu otosareta ochita toki nanika hajikedashita)
I dropped a marble; when it fell, something split open
奪い取った場所で　光を浴びた
(Ubaitotta basho de hikari wo abita)
It bathed in light at the place where I plundered it

数えた足跡など　気付けば数字でしか無い
(Kazoeta ashiato nado kidzukeba suuji de shika nai)
When you think about it, the footsteps you've counted are nothing but numbers
知らなきゃいけない事は　どうやら1と0の間
(Shiranakya ikenai koto ha douyara ichi to zero no aida)
Somehow, what I have to know is somewhere between "one" and "zero"

初めて僕らは出会うだろう　同じ悲鳴の旗を目印にして
(Hajimete bokura ha deau darou onaji himei no hata wo mejirushi ni shite)
We'll meet each other for the first time, making our same scream's flags into our landmarks
忘れないで　いつだって呼んでるから
(Wasurenaide itsudatte yonderu kara)
Don't forget, because I'm always calling
重ねた理由を二人で埋める時
(Kasaneta riyuu wo futari de umeru toki)
When we bury our collective motives together,
約束が交わされる
(Yakusoku ga kawasareru)
We will exchange a promise

鏡なんだ　僕ら互いに
(Kagami nanda bokura tagai ni)
We are mirrors, each of us meant
それぞれのカルマを　映す為の
(Sorezore no karuma wo utsusu tame no)
To reflect every bit of the other's karma
汚れた手と手で　触り合って
(Yogoreta te to te de sawariatte)
We will touch each other's dirtied hands
形が解る
(Katachi ga wakaru)
And grasp their shape


ここに居るよ　確かに触れるよ
(Koko ni iru yo tashika ni sawareru yo)
I am here, I can definitely feel you
一人分の陽だまりに　僕らは居る
(Hitoribun no hidamari ni bokura ha iru)
We are here in the same sunny spot


忘れないで　いつだって呼んでるから　同じガラス玉の内側の方から
(Wasurenaide itsudatte yonderu kara onaji garasudama no uchigawa no hou kara)
Don't forget, because I'm always calling from inside the same marble
そうさ　必ず僕らは出会うだろう　沈めた理由に十字架を建てる時
(Sou sa kanarazu bokura ha deau darou shizumeta riyuu ni juujika wo tateru toki)
That's right, we'll meet each other for sure; when we build a cross on our submerged motives
約束は果たされる
(Yakusoku ha hatasareru)
We will fulfill our promise
僕らはひとつになる
(Bokura ha hitotsu ni naru)
We will become one
