Trinity Cross

It's nothing unusual for Nana to be pretty amazing, but wow. The interesting combination of classical strings and modern electric guitar adds to the impact, though arguably the song is a bit overly dramatic for a show that's primarily an oversexed comedy, and sounds more suited to something more firmly gothic.

Japanese Romanization Translation
真っ白な羽が今 降りそそいで
 目の前の景色ごと 奪うプロローグ
Masshiro na hane ga ima furisosoide
 me no mae no keshiki goto ubau PUROROUGU
Pure white feathers now pour down,
 a prolog stealing away the scene before my eyes.
Interlude ~16 seconds
行き場の無いこの不確かな空
 最後の言葉も聞けずに飛ぶんだ
Yukiba no nai kono futashika na sora
 saigo no kotoba mo kikezu ni tobu nda
Without a destination, I flew off into this uncertain sky,
 unable even to hear your final words.
胸を塞ぐ特別な色
 時に影、時に夢、時には愛を
記憶の欠片が 大切に思えたら
 ささやかな勇気に変わって
重なったシルエット
Mune wo fusagu tokubetsu na iro
 toki ni kage, toki ni yume, toki ni wa ai wo
Kioku no kakera ga taisetsu ni omoetara
 sasayaka na yuuki ni kawatte
Kasanatta SHIRUETTO
Certain colors cloud my heart,
 shadows at times, dreams at times, and at times love;
If I can feel that these fragments of memory are precious,
 they'll transform into a modest courage,
Amassing silhouettes.
祈りは目に見えぬ風になって
 貴方の首筋に届くのなら
置き去りのリグレット 傷も嘘も
 越えて行けるねと思えるから
Believe 瞳を閉じれば浮かぶ
 いくつものかがやき
永遠の証明は このTrinity Cross
Inori wa me ni mienu kaze ni natte
 anata no kubisuji ni todoku no nara
Okizari no RIGURETTO kizu mo uso mo
 koete yukeru ne to omoeru kara
Believe me wo tojireba ukabu
 ikutsu mo no kagayaki
Eien no shoumei wa kono Trinity Cross
For if my prayers become an unseen wind
 and reach the nape of your neck
I'll be able to feel that I can move beyond
 the regrets I've left behind, the wounds and the lies.
Believe. When I close my eyes,
 a great many radiances cross my mind.
The eternal proof is this Trinity Cross.
Interlude ~16 seconds
永久に響くような詩が無くても
 この想いだけは色褪せないよ
Towa ni hibiku you na uta ga nakute mo
 kono omoi dake wa iroasenai yo
Even should I lack the sort of song to resound eternally,
 these feelings alone will never fade.
いつの間にか抱えた痛み
 時に闇 時に雨 時には愛を
全部の情景が 今は素敵だって
 告げられる温もりにも似た
大切な想い
Itsu no ma ni ka kakaeta itami
 toki ni yami toki ni ame toki ni wa ai wo
Zenbu no joukei ga ima wa suteki datte
 tsugerareru nukumori ni mo nita
Taisetsu na omoi
I've borne pains before I noticed them,
 darkness at times, rain at times, and at times love;
All these moving scenes are like warmths
 by which I am told the present is wonderful,
Precious feelings.
誓いと呼べるほど強い力で
 「貴方を守りたい」そう感じた
悲しみのリグレット 罪と罰も
 受け止められると思えるから
Believe 不意な風がいつか
 不安にさせても
永遠の証明は このTrinity Cross
Chikai to yoberu hodo tsuyoi chikara de
 "anata wo mamoritai" sou kanjita
Kanashimi no RIGURETTO tsumi to batsu mo
 uketomerareru to omoeru kara
Believe fui na kaze ga itsuka
 fuan ni sasete mo
Eien no shoumei wa kono Trinity Cross
"I want to protect you," I felt so
 with such strength I could call it a vow.
For I am able to feel that I can accept
 my sorrowful regrets, the sins and the penalties.
Believe. Though some day an abrupt wind
 may set you ill at ease,
The eternal proof is this Trinity Cross.
Interlude ~25 seconds
なんでかな?時々遠く感じたり。
 こんなに近い距離なのに。
今以上にもっと沢山の言葉を
 伝えたくて切なくなったり
果てしない明日へ
Nande ka na? Tokidoki tooku kanjitari.
 Konna ni chikai kyori na no ni.
Ima ijou ni motto takusan no kotoba wo
 tsutaetakute setsunaku nattari
Hateshinai asu e
I wonder why? Sometimes you feel distant,
 despite how close the distance between us is.
There are so many more words now
 I want to tell you, it breaks my heart.
On to a boundless tomorrow.
真白な羽が今降りそそいで
 二人を包み込むヴェールになる
追憶のリグレット 朝も夜も
 もう迷わないと思えるから
Believe 瞳を閉じれば浮かぶ
 いくつものかがやき
永遠の証明は このTrinity Cross
Masshiro na hane ga ima furisosoide
 futari wo tsutsumikomu VEERU ni naru
Tsuioku no RIGURETTO asa mo yoru mo
 mou mayowanai to omoeru kara
Believe me wo tojireba ukabu
 ikutsu mo no kagayaki
Eien no shoumei wa kono Trinity Cross
Pure white feathers now pour down,
 becoming a veil that envelops us both.
For I'll be able to feel that I won't lose my way any more
 to hindsight regrets, the mornings and the nights.
Believe. When I close my eyes,
 a great many radiances cross my mind.
The eternal proof is this Trinity Cross.
