Even now, the boos are cling to my ears

koukyona sora* yo

in the empty sky

Translator notes:

1. In the booklet there is only “神様が 仮に存在するのな”, but at the part I highlighted he sings something like “星明かり (hoshiakari)”, then I preferred to translate like this, I think I could translate what is written as “If, momently, god exists” (?)

Romaji notes:

* it’s wroten 天 (ten) but he sings 空 (sora)

** it’s not wroten, but he sings like that, probably 星明かり (hoshiakari) (?)

*** it’s wroten 運命(unmei) but he sings 定め(sadame)
