Fire Emblem Fates - main theme lyrics translation

Swaying and being swayed

One’s thoughts flow
Like bubbles down the river stream
That hand will open up the path to tomorrow

Reaching out to the light
The un-corruptible golden sword
Will slash in order to wake
Those slumbering hopes
Bringing peace to the world

A soft light scatters from the crystal
Vanquishing the dark like a sunrise

One’s thoughts

Swaying and being swayed,

One’s thoughts flow
Like bubbles down the river stream
That hand will open up the path to tomorrow

On a path to darkness
The empty white throne
One will deceive them all
by spinning a false tale

The blackened sun, will slowly begin to fall
Vanquishing the light like the twilight

One’s thoughts

No matter which path is chosen, surely they
will lead to grief, smiles, regrets, and dreams, surely
there will be wandering roses in those hesitant futures
that will engrave themselves into them, surely
they will sink into the ravine

The wandering heart will drift about
Wishing
a childish wish
That the corpses of those
descendants bound by blood
reflect upon the chaotic water’s surface in the end

So that someone is aware of one’s thoughts

Swaying, and being swayed

My thoughts flow like bubbles
down the river stream
those hands will open up the way to tomorrow

Being swayed, and swaying
