Celestial Stars Galaxy Cross lyrics

Today was the official release of "Seiten Galaxy Cross," which means we now have the lyrics available to decipher what exactly they are singing about. Despite my best efforts, I misheard a number of lines that are now mistranslated in the subs. Furthermore, the new lines offered context which led me to re-write other lines entirely. Anyway, here is the full version of the song in English. See if you can pick out the references to "Gyakkou no Flugel" and "Fushichou no Flamme"







Celestial Stars Galaxy Cross

Follow that natural desire, be independent
Hope and despair together, embrace them
Keep on fighting, until your life meets its end

A kiss of bright rays and splashes
Marks the birthday of a love-filled rainbow
But no matter how beautiful the day
When something is born
Then something dies

At least let's sing
"I love you!"
Even if the world is a merciless hell
At least let's convey it
"I love you!"
Now it's time to break free
The stars fall through the heavens
Let it ring out! Our Liberty Song

Stardust

A miracle isn't something you wait for
You make it with your own hands and cry out
Turn that tear-stained past into a requiem
Together, the power of all living things can make
A shining future world
Illuminating our beliefs
Celestial Stars, Galaxy Cross

The day will soon come
When you realize that
You are not alone
So let's feel our hearts throb
Through each other's fingertips
As we head for tomorrow

Even amidst this boundless sky
I feel you!
A spirit so free could never die
Even in this eternal dream
I feel you!
Be ambitious, take up your sword
And use its power to sever
Your death from the strings of fate

The courage you've gathered will shine
Becoming a cross that expels the darkness
Pass through and on the rising path before you
Will be the glorious light of
A history even God hasn't seen
Let them soar above! Our Brave Hearts
We are bound together like
Celestial Stars, Galaxy Cross

With these backlit wings
Yes, just believe
Through the undying flames
Ignition...!!
Let's fight unhindered by the past

A miracle isn't something you wait for
You make it with your own hands and cry out
Now matter how many times you fall down
Just keep standing back up
Together, the power of all living things can make
A shining future world
Illuminating our beliefs
Celestial Stars, Galaxy Cross

      Screwed up the link.

      Trying again:

      I thought the title would be the key.

      From Wikipedia ("Galaxy merger"):
      "Galaxy mergers can occur when two (or more) galaxies collide... Toward the late stages of the merger, the gravitational potential (i.e. the shape of the galaxy) begins changing so quickly that star orbits are greatly affected, and lose any memory of their previous orbit."

      And, perhaps more telling (emphasis mine):
      "Galaxy mergers are important because the merger rate is fundamental measurement of galaxy evolution."

      A "Galaxy Cross" (merger) means, for the stars in the galaxies, a disruption of the stable systems to which they had been confined. In other words, it represents freedom and evolution.

      At least, that's my take on how the title relates to the lyrics.
