Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Gaiden Season 1

Closing Theme to Gaiden Season 1

Pour shining light into the night sky,
Silver curtain of mystery.
The dancing of heavens;
The riddle of the Aurora...
Some day their answers will be revealed.

The creation,
The birth
at some point
from two separate things
of this
wondrous life..
Someone has to give us its answer.

No matter what you do,
For that to happen
Some smart person will take care of things for us.

But why, when asked,
Are these questions always brushed off?
Like when you hesitate to reply...
"Why did you fall in love with me?"
Please don't answer.
While your eyes dance in the Aurora, it's okay for it to remain a mystery.

Yozora ni hikari sosoide
Shinpi no gin no kaaten
Manten no mai
Oorora no nazo wo
Sono setsumei mo itsuka hatasareru deshou.

Fushigi na
Kono inochi sae
Itsuka wa
Mono to mono kara
Tsukuridasu koto
Umiotosu koto
Sono setsumei mo dareka ga nashitogeru deshou.

Dono you ni shite
Sou naru no ka wa
Atama no ii hito ga katazukete kureru.

Keredomo naze to tazuneta toki no
Kotae wa taitei kimetsukeru dake?
Sore ga ittai nanda to iu no ka?
Setsumei shinaide ii no desu.
Oorora no mau hitomi nara shinpi no mama de ii no desu.

夜空に光注いで
神秘の銀のカーテン
満天の舞
オーロラの謎を
その説明もいつか果たされるでしょう。

不思議な
この命さえ
いつかは
物と物から
作り出すこと
産み落とすこと
その説明も誰かが成し遂げるでしょう。

どのようにして
そうなるのかは
頭のいい人が片付けてくれる。

けれどもなぜと尋ねた時の
答えは大抵決め付けるだけ?
それがいったい何だと言うのか
説明しないでいいのです。
オーロラの舞う瞳なら神秘のままでいいのです。
