Hikaru Utada - Deep River (Poetry At Begining)

Ten to ten wo tsunagu you ni 
Sen wo egaku yubi ga nazoru no wa 
Watashi no kita michi soretomo ikisaki 

As it joins one point to another,
That which my finger, drawing lines, traces
Is the road by which I came, or, perhaps, my destination.

Sen to sen wo musubu futari 
Yagate minna umi ni tadoritsuki hitotsu ni naru kara 
Kowakunai keredo 

The two who tie one line to another;
In the end, since everyone finds his way to the sea,
I'm not afraid, yet...

Oh oh ikutsu mono kawa wo nagare 
Wake mo kikazu ni 
Ataerareta namae to tomo ni 

Oh, oh, letting flow so many rivers*,
Without even paying heed to reason,
Together with the names they have been given...

Oh oh subete wo ukeireru nante 
Shinakute ii yo 
Watashitachi no itami ga ima tobidatta 

Oh, oh, you don't have to
Accept everything, or anything of the sort;
Our pain has now taken flight.

That's why... 
That's why I chose you 

That's why...
That's why I chose you...

Ken to ken ga butsukariau oto o 
Shiru tame ni takusareta ken ja nai yo 
Sonna mujun de dare wo mamoreru no 

This sword was not entrusted 
In order for one to know the sound of two swords' striking;
Whom can one protect with such inconsistency?

Oh oh Nando mo sugata o kaete 
Watashi no mae ni maiorita anata wo 
Kyou wa sagashiteru 

Oh, oh, changing form so many times,
You, who softly alighted before me;
today, I search for you.

Oh oh Doko demo ukeirerareyou to 
Shinaide ii yo 
Jibun rashisa to iu TSURUGI wo minna sazukatta 

Oh, oh, it is better not to think 
that one should just allow one's self be accepted anywhere;
A sword called 'Individuality' is bequeathed to all.

Oh oh Toki ni wa nagare wo kaete 
Nani mo motazu ni 
Ataerareta namae to tomo ni 

Oh, oh, at times changing their course,
Without carrying anything,
Together with the names they have been given...

Oh oh subete wo ukeireru nante 
Shinakute ii yo 
Shiokaze ni mukai toritachi ga ima tobidatta

Oh, oh, you don't have to
Accept everything, or anything of the sort;
Turning to the sea breeze, the birds have taken flight.
