Code Geass ED1 - Yuukyou Seishunka ~ English cover

/!\ Rien ne m'appartient excepté ma voix et ma traduction /!\

(Enfin, "traduction". Je parle pas japonais, hélas, donc c'est en réalité une adaptation poétique de diverses trads' littérales que j'ai trouvé en ligne-)

Deux covers en un mois whaaaat °o° Je sais pas ce que j'ai mais j'espère que ça va durer. Quoi qu'il en soit, j'espère comme toujours que vous aimerez ce cover autant que j'ai aimé le chanter =D

/!\ I own nothing except my voice and the translation /!\

(Although, "translation". I don't speak japanese, sadly, so this is actually more of a poetic adaptation of various literal translations I've found online.)

Two covers in one month whaaaat °o° I don't know what's with me but I hope it'll last. Anyway, as always I hope you'll enjoy this cover as much as I enjoyed making it =D

Lyrics:

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Enemies such as weakness and rage
Are they not the toughest to engage?
Yet every youthful prisoner
Must face these shapeless foes on their own

Somehow, even after all this time
I can't understand you, Father mine

A night of craze. I'd given chase
After my brothers, fading in the shadows
That's when I heard whispered words:
Lucifer himself beckoning me

Though I should be yearning for
A dream that doesn't end in woe
You are my life and soul
For you I'd give up my all

Thus I live, ever since I was born:
Butterfly, flower, caught in a storm
Knowing my homeland is abloom
In springtime neverending

Though my hands might be soaked in blood
Though I might turn my back on God
Never forget and never doubt:
My spirit is made of the finest thread

Understand, I pray, oh Mother dear
Even if I never show my tears

The dew covered grass underneath my feet will never dry

This is the day when I obtain
The very meaning of my existence
My flag will rise against the skies
Drenched in blood from righteous sacrifice

All I did was loving you
So much I carved it into
My chest, like a tattoo
And I embrace this wound

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Warriors with such shining eyes
Treated like pawns, don't they realize?
What if this youthful chivalry
Is nothing except for a foolish dream?

I am still unable, even now
To protect my love. Oh Father, how...

Can I find the truth? Is there even one in this ever-changing world?

Thus I lived, ever since I was born:
Butterfly, flower, caught in a storm
Knowing my homeland soon would fall
In springtime neverending

Though my hands are now soaked in blood
Though I have turned my back on God
Never forget and never doubt:
My spirit is made of the finest thread

I'll be worthy, Mother, you will see
You'll bestow your honor upon me

Oh you, who walks an animal's path
Lion or tiger, roaring your wrath
Hark! For the homeland of your heart
Awaits beyond the horizon

Fighting for a noble cause
Knowing no better, seeing no flaws
Such is the youthful beauty
Precisely because it can never last

Just you wait and see, the day is nigh
I shall overthrow you, Father mine

They will know the truth. I'll leave it all for the precious world to see.

I think ita really fitting that its sang with a slight french accent as Lelouch is actually like 1/8 french or something

[greekotakugaming]

this is a great cover, your voice fits the song perfectly!

[Roar]

Those high notes though! My word how do you do that?!

[titaniaerzakurogane]

I play this so many times.
I cant just get bored in it.
It's a art like your voice that fit in this song

[joaovictor]

My God, I was carving so long for an english cover for this song. Finally found a masterpiece.

[Galaxy-pvky]

You did the cover so well I freaking love the ed, both the cover and original song

[AlterMesh]

this is such a wonderful cover! the lyrics are beautiful and (i think) capture the kind of poetic air of the original, and your singing was beautiful!!

[leonardoruiz]

That was amazing! Thank you for all your hard work. Awesome cover for an absolutely awesome song and anime!!

[IsaacGreenGoblin-rcbz]

This song fits your voice it's amazing! Great job. I hope I get to listen to more of your music of the same genre!

[leobernardo]

Fantastic! This English cover gave me goosebumps!

[Mitokura]

I am really amazed at how well you adapted the lyrics and made them sound natural. It's a very difficult task.

Aside, your voice sounds great.

[rodrigopachecolemos]

Wow you really did it, is incredible and awesome i love it, i love how your tone was perfect, suscribed

[Pokedeus]

Incroyable, tu arrives à tenir des notes vraiment hautes :O ! J'aime beaucoup les covers que tu fais, tu choisis pas les chansons/OP/ED qu'on voit le plus souvent, mais ceux qui sont tout aussi jolis mais qu'on oublie pour des raisons plus ou moins mystérieuses. Je ne sais pas si tu as déjà écouté l'autre chanson de l'album Yuukyou Seishunka d'ALI PROJECT qui s'appelle Chinkon Shiyou (ou Chinkonshou) - elle est vraiment très jolie !

[metta]

This cover is great and the lyrics are fantastic! I was wondering if I could use them in my cover that I'm planning to make, if not then it's ok, I just really *really* love the words you chose for this song

[akito]

I ain't gonna lie this cover is far the best I've ever heard. It's so calming but the theatrical vibes is makes me I want to listen with it non-stop. And it must be hard for you to nail those high notes. But overall well executed☺️🎉

[afchin_s]

C'est tellement beau ❤️ j'adore

[RealBakuStar]

This is amazing! The only thing I would change is the music sounds a bit gritty, but your voice is beyond perfect for it! If the music wasnt as gritty this would be much better than the original, theres just more feeling and oomf to the way you say the words! Keep up the AMAZING work!

[andreykuranov]

The translation of lyrics is pure genius!

[gogogadget]

I love your song! I've been listening to it on repeat for a month.

[purplelionpoliticsandhisto]

Superb! Able to capture what the song was meant to! This song doesn't get enough respect, it's overshadowed by COLORS sadly...
