Kanno Youko

隨著"Ghost in the shell"動畫的誕生，

讓我見識到了菅野洋子這號人物；

另一個偉大的音樂創作鬼才。

我想她在我心目中的地位大概已經超越了久石壤吧！

Liveing Inside The Shell



Music: Kanno Youko

Lyrics: Shanti Snyder



Roaming inbetween the worlds of sleep and awake

Seems so far away from where I've been and untrue but unafraid

Intrusting -- my soul -- I know I must be taken to see the world that is

Not so far from now



迷失在夢幻與現實的夾縫中

感覺正在離開自己的場所，感到不安

但是不害怕，相信靈魂

隨著指引前進，為了看見不久的未來



Imaginations come and sweep the shores of my mind

Letting it be, visions pass, and emotions arise--

Letting them go, and beyond are doors I've never seen, opening one by one



想像打著波浪

影像隨波逐流，澎湃的情感

放開手，沒看過的門扉，在面前一扇扇地開啟



(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)

I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me

Look inside, see the light now ever holding you

All the truth is all you need to make of your reality, its right here

Look deep within your shell



[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚

看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒

這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西

一切都在這裡，在自己的深殼中尋找



Finding out a galaxy of planets and stars within me

Listening to each of them singing the same silent melody I've never seen such beauty in possibility -- no speck of doubt or fear



在自己的內心找到銀河，行星與星星

每一個都擁唱著相同的寧靜旋律

從未感覺過如此美麗的可能性，沒有絲毫的疑慮與恐懼



(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)

I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me

I see inside, see the light now ever holding me

All the truth, all I need to make of this reality it's -- beauty within the shell



[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

聽見聲音，聽見呼喚

看得見，現在圍繞著我的內側光芒

這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西

這就是沉睡於殼中的美麗



(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)

I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me

I see inside, see the light now ever holding me

All the truth, all I need to make of this reality, it's inside

Right here within this shell



[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚

看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒

這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西

一切都在這裡，在自己的深殼中尋找



The sandglass starts for another time's beginning from within

Cotton fields, mama's arms are gently unfolding me into the new...



沙漏從內側開始計算著新的世界的開始

棉田、母親的手腕，溫柔地將我送進新的世界



(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)

[Reading]

Here from behind my sight, my thoughts my mind

Show from the light

The time is right

And from the depth within show the balance

Of outer and inner harmony

Mind and heart, soul and spirit undivided

Here's where the true strength and beauty lies

We'll see this before us with our own eyes

We'll see, with our own eyes... LOVE



[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

[Reading]

*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚

看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒

這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西

一切都在這裡，在自己的深殼中尋找



(Wake up and show the light, wake up the time is right)

I hear a voice, hear a voice calling out to me

I see inside, see the light now ever holding me

All the truth, all I need to make of this reality it's -- beauty within the shell



[甦醒吧，射出光芒，現在正是甦醒之時]

*聽見聲音，聽見呼喚

看見內側，看見負責支撐的光芒

這是一切的真實，創造現實不需要其他東西

一切都在這裡，在這個殼中
