Nostalgia
By Any Unborn Child
(Disclaimer: Tsubasa and its wonderful characters are not mine. I love it to death though.)
Sora no hate made mou sugu
Sabishii taiko ga hibiku koro
Fui ni sukitooru mune no
Aganai ni mimi wo katamukete
Around the time the lonely sound of drums
echoes to the end of the sky
Suddenly my heart becomes transparent
I listen to its redemption
In the little group of theirs…
Consisting of Syaoran,
Sakura,
Fai,
Kurogane,
And Mokona…
There is something that keeps them together.
Something that helps them hang on.
Something that gets them through one day to the next.
Yasashisa no furisosogu
aki no hi no yuugure ni
Doushite umare mo shirazu
Setsunasa wa komi ageru
Mayowazu ni aruketara
tooku made yukeru no ni
Kareta namida
no shijima de
Utai tsudukeru
nostalgia
At the autumn dusk
when tenderness showers down
Why does bitter-sweetness
well up in me,
not knowing where it was born?
I could go farther if I were able
to walk without getting lost
In the silence of exhausted tears
I keep on singing
nostalgia
This force drives them to the brink of insanity.
They wrack their brains and senses on what was,
And not what will be.
It also drives them to better themselves.
To search far and wide for the key to the salvation of their loved ones….
To regain something lost many moons ago…
To leave places and people far behind and never look back…
To go back to the place called home…
To help those who need it the most…
To make the future right.
Douka shinjinaide ite
Watashi no namida mo tameiki mo
Kitto hito yori mo sukoshi
Hakanai kimochi ga suki na dake dakara
Please don't believe
my tears nor sighs
I just cherish these fleeting feelings
a little better than others do
There are a lot of things that they wish they could take back.
There are a lot of things that they wish they said or did in the first place.
There is a lot of regret.
There is a lot of rejoice.
The forces that drive them are no more than what makes the human condition.
They make themselves forget.
They make themselves remember.
They want to remember.
They want to forget.
Whatever else is there, they confront it.
In their own special ways.
Aozameta madogiwa de
shinobi naku senritsu wa
Shiawase no kage nokoshite
ai no yume wo tomurau
Hitori zutsu aruketara
tooku made yuketa kana
Furikaeru shiroi hoho ni
Kuchidukeru no wa
nostalgia
By the pale window,
the melody shed silent tears
and mourn the dream of love,
leaving behind the shadow of happiness
I wonder we could've come farther
if we had been able to walk separately
It kisses the white cheek
that is looking back
nostalgia
They try their best with their own inherited resolve.
They try their hardest with their own wishes and dreams.
They dream and dream and dream,
And wish and wish and wish.
They fight with all that they can muster.
They don't fight at all.
Yasashisa no furisosogu
aki no hi no yuugure ni
Kiete yukitaku naru yona
sabishi sa wo amayakasu
Mayowazu ni aruketara
tooku made yuke takana
Fuka sugiru sora no shita
Utai tsudukeru
nostalgia
At the tender twilight of an autumn day,
it rains softly
Upon my loneliness
With which I would disappear
I have to walk, without straying,
to reach the distance
Underneath the sky so blue
I continue to sing the song of
nostalgia
There is a lot that they have to face.
Their hopes.
Their dreams.
Their failures.
Their own fates.
They will have to face those they have lost, and others they have gained.
Whatever the case,
They will do it together.
In the midst of nostalgia.
Fin
(A/N: I really love Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona. They work so well as a team, in spite of their own demons, and they manages to work together to fix themselves, and each other. The lyrics in this fic are from the song "Nostalgia" by FictionJunctionYUUKA. It's a great song, and I hope you take a listen.)
