Dear You Hope (Rika) [English Adaptation Lyrics]

Though prayers won’t reach you,

I keep on sending them out into the sky

I still hope that someday they will find you where cicadas cry

How many times have I found myself ripped to pieces no matter how I prepare?

Has all the hope I once held deep within turned to despair?

I promise that next time I will grow stronger and understand

Because if I could do that, I am sure I can reach for your hand

The opening of this story is given once again

I dance the dance that I’ve been taught the same way I did then

This story connects all the worlds that I’ve been fighting for

So I can’t stop my efforts, I must dance again once more

To reach the end, a place where you can go to find

Some happiness and inner peace of mind

Though there may be limits to how many times I can dance

Still I will protect these precious things if I’m given the chance

For that cause I’ll defy even the Gods to attain my one goal

I swear I won’t wander or forsake this hope in my soul

Though like the summer cicadas my life is now short-lived

My only wish is something simple only you can give

Please stay beside me till the end and let me see your smile

That one image will last for a while

So let us now start once more, go to the place we had left way back there

This time we can wish for some ending we can all equally share

At the least our final moments can share something with how this once begun

In that at the end of it we are all here, smiling as one
