勇侠青春謳
Vocabulary from ALI PROJECT: 'Yuukyou Seishunka (勇侠青春謳)' (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion ED1 (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ ED1) · 2006).
行けどもけものみち 獅子よ虎よと吠え
茜射す空の 彼方にまほろば
幽囚の孤獨に 彷徨う青春は
弱さと怒りが姿無き敵ですか
父よ 未だ我は
己を知りがたし
先立つ兄らの
見えない背中を追えば
迷いの一夜に明星は誘う
死して終わらぬ
夢を焦がれども
確かな君こそ我が命
烈風の荒野で 蝶よ花よと生き
とこしえの春に 咲き添うまぼろし
混濁の純潔 この身は汚れても
心の錦を信じていてください
母よ けして我は
涙を見せねども
足下の草に露は消えもせで
生まれた意義なら
やがて知る時が来よう
このいま せめての義旗
血汐に浸し
ただ君を愛し
胸に刻んだ
刺青(しせい)のような傷を抱いて
行けどもけものみち 獅子よ虎よと吠え
茜射す空の 彼方にまほろば
勇侠の士となり 戦う青春は
仄蒼きほどに愚かなものでしょうか
父よ 未だ我は
愛ひとつ護れず
仮初めのこの世の真はいづこ
烈風の荒野で 蝶よ花よと生き
とこしえの春に 舞い散るまぼろし
混濁の純潔 この身は汚れても
心の錦を信じていてください
母よ いつか我を
授かりし誉れと
生けどもけものみち 獅子よ虎よと吠え
茜射す空の 彼方はまほろば
高潔の志のもと 戦う青春は
果敢なき時代(とき)ゆえ美しきものとあれ
父よ いつか我は
己に打ち克たん
尊びのこの世の誠はそこに
