Cry for the Earth
words and music by Hironobu Kageyama
sung by JAM Project
translation by Alinda Sue…



「祈りを込めて 願いを込めて
夜明けを待つんだ 痛みの中で・・・・・」

Refrain the rain 降り止まぬ雨Cry for the earth…
誰も彼も存在を信じないnobody…

名も知らぬ国の 廃墟の街

明日を奪われた 人の列が続く

その声が Refrain 訴えてる
まなざしが Refrain 
(Your worries make me cry!! (note: we think...))
報復が Refrain 繰り返してく
降り止まぬ Cold rain 「CRYING FOR THE EARTH

How can I
 今 僕らは この地球(ほし)で
(Try to find the Answer 何を見つめて
)
How can I
 そう 僕らは どうすれば
(Try to find the Reason   愛を求めて
)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
今日という日を 超えていけるんだろう・・・・・


名も知らぬ国の 人の未来
守られるはずの 幼い夢 命

憎しみが Refrain あふれている
絶望が Refrain
(What the hell is going on!?)
押し寄せる Despair耐えられない
降り止める Cold rain 「CRYING FOR THE EARTH

How can I
 今 僕らは この地球(ほし)で
(Try to find the Answer 何を見つめて
)
How can I
 そう 僕らは 永遠に
(Try to find the Reason   愛を求めて
)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
その罪を ああ 償い続ける

今日も世界のどこかで命がたくさん
虫けらみたいに潰されてくんだ
いとも容易く幼い儚い命が
紙くずみたいに燃やされてくんだ
(Why now? Why now?)
胸に突き刺さる歌だ
(
Why now? Why now?)
何の為に?
いったい誰が
D D D Don’t give up!!
打ちのめされた心で
Stand up! Stand up!
歩き続けてくんだ!!

How can I
 今 僕らは この地球(ほし)で
(Try to find the Answer 何を見つめて
)
How can I
 今 僕らは この場所で
(Try to find the reason 何を信じて)

How can I
 そう 僕らは 永遠に
(Try to find the Answer 愛を求めて)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
その理由(わけ)を 探し続く

”Praying and wishing
In the midst of pain, we waited for dawn…”

Refrain the rain, the unstopping rain that cries for the earth
Nobody, not a single person believes it's existence

In a country with an unknown name, ruins of a town
The line of people who were robbed of tomorrow continues on

That voice is a refrain: an appeal to justice
In our gaze… a refrain that tells us again, 
(Your worries make me cry!!)
A refrain that just keeps repeating
As unstoppable cold rains fall, “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
What can each of us do?
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
For today is the day to do better…

In a country with an unknown name, a person’s future…
We should be protecting the life and the dreams of the young

An overflowing refrain of hatred,
The refrain of despair
(What the hell is going on !?)
Unable to withstand the besiege of despair
As unstoppable cold rains fall, “CRYING FOR THE EARTH”

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
How can each of us through eternity…
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
How can we continue to atone for this guilt?

Even today, everywhere in the world lots of lives
Are squashed as if they were just bugs
With extreme ease, the fleeting lives of the innocent
Are burned away as easily as paper
(Why now? Why now?)
To pierce through to the heart, we sang
(Why now? Why now?)
And for what reason?
So that those that are hurting
D-D-D-Don't give up!!
So those whose spirits have been knocked down
Can stand up! Stand up!
And continue walking!!

How can I… We here now on this planet,
(Try to find the Answer   What are we to find?)
How can each of us now in this place…
(Try to find the answer   What are we to believe?)
How can each of us through eternity…
(Try to find the reason   Longing for love)
(Try to find the Future   Try to find the Love)
We continue to search for a reason behind all this
