Reason to Live...Chii ^.^




I just discovered this ending theme of Chobits when I was working on some things at Dizon Tech this afternoon. It has a nice tune, mind you....I even downloaded it along with its karaoke version. Here are the lyrics along with the English translation, courtesy of www.animelyrics.com:



Raison D'etre (Reason to Live)
Artist: Rie Tanaka
Ending Theme From Chobits


Romaji Lyrics:

Minaretamachi sarigenaku arukeba
Tashika ni konome niwa utsuru
Mugure ninatte susumu hitonami ni
Umorete obieteru kokoro

Raison d'etre sonna fuu ni
Raison d'etre onajiyouni
waratte shizunde nagarerunowa naze
kagi wo sagashiterunda zutto sgashiterunda
dokomade mienai? sono door no kagi wo

Kotobayorimo daijina nanika ni
Kizukenai toki wa sugiteyuku
Aizu wo machi oshierarerumama
Sashishimesu bekutoru(vectol)ni mukau

Raison d'etre kyoumo sekai de
Raison d'etre shinjirerunowa
Kasukana hikari to kegarenaki shin no ai
Imi wo sagashiterunda zutto sagashiterunda
Dokomade kienai? sono ikiru imi wo

Hiroku fukai meiro ni mayoitsuzuketerunara
Kumotta Lens wo kagayakasetaraii

Raison d'etre Sonna fuu ni
Raison d'etre Onajiyouni
Waratte shizunde nagarerunowa naze
Kagi wo sagashiterunda zutto sagashiterunda
Dokomade mienai? sono door no kagi wo


English Translation:

The town where everyone sleeps,
If I walk with nothing on my mind,
I can see it
Buried under the advancing crowd,
Is my trembling heart

Raison d'etre, in that way
Raison d'etre, in the same way
Smile, fall silent
Why do my emotions sway?
I'm looking for a key
I've always been looking
I can't see it anywhere
Where is key to that door...

What's more important then words?
The time keeps passing and you can't realize it
Waiting for a sign to be taught like this
Facing the vector that was pointed out

Raison d'etre, in today's world too
Raison d'etre, I believe it
A faint light shining on a real love
I'm looking for a reason
I've always been looking
Where could it have dissappeared?
Where is that reason to live...

I hesitate to continue in this deep labyrinth
The cloady lenses could brighten

Raison d'etre, in that way
Raison d'etre, in the same way
Smile, fall silent
Why do my emotions sway?
I'm looking for a key
I've always been looking
I can't see it anywhere
