			Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth opening song
			Written by: Takahashi Yoko
			Translation: Mark Neidengard

ORIGINAL

Watashi ni kaerinasai, Kioku wo tadori
Yasashisa to yume no minamoto e
Mou ichido hoshi ni hikare, Umareru tame ni
Tamashii no refrain

Aoi kage ni tsutsumareta suhada ga
Toki no naka de shizuka ni furueteru
Inochi no yukue wo toikakeru you ni
Yubisaki wa watashi wo motomeru

Dakishimeteta unmei no anata wa
Kisetsu ni saku Maru de hakanai hana
Kibou no nioi wo mune ni nokoshite
Chiriisogu, Azayaka na sugata de

Watashi ni kaerinasai, Umareru mae ni
Anata ga sugoshita daichi e to
Kono te ni kaerinasai, Meguriau tame
Kiseki wa okoru yo, Nandodemo
Tamashii no refrain

Inoru you ni, Mabuta tojita toki ni
Sekai wa tada yami no soko ni kieru
Soredemo kodou wa mata ugokidasu
Kagiri aru eien wo sagashite

Watashi ni kaerinasai, Kioku wo tadori
Yasashisa to yume no minamoto e
Anata mo kaerinasai, Aishiau tame
Kokoro mo karada mo kurikaesu
Tamashii no refrain

Watashi ni kaerinasai, Umareru mae ni
Anata ga sugoshita daichi e to
Kono te ni kaerinasai, Meguriau tame
Kiseki wa okoru yo, Nandodemo
Tamashii no refrain.


(english translation)

Come back to me, follow the memory
To the origin of gentleness and dreams
Drawn by the stars once more, in order to be born
Soul's Refrain

Your naked body, enfolded by blue shadows
Is quietly trembling in time
As though seeking the whereabouts of life
Your fingertips acknowledge me

Of the fate I was embracing
You bloom in season, like a fleeting flower
You keep the scent of hope in your breast
And quickly become blurred
With a clear form

Come back to me
To the land where you dwelt before you were born
Come back to these hands
In order for us to meet
Any number of miracles will happen
Soul's Refrain

When your eyelids are closed, as though praying
The world simply vanishes into the heart of the darkness
But even so, the rhythm is still moving
Seeking bounded eternity

Come back to me, follow the memory
To the origin of gentleness and dreams
Come back, so we can love together
Repeat with body and heart
Soul's Refrain

Come back to me
To the land where you dwelt before you were born
Come back to these hands
In order for us to meet
Any number of miracles will happen
Soul's Refrain.
