Ai wa Ryuusei

Trowa's second image song is track five from the New Mobile Suit Report Gundam W: OPERATION 4 CD and is titled "Ai wa Ryuusei" or "Love is a Shooting Star". It could also be translated as "Love is a Meteor", but that is far less romantic, yes? A power ballad, this is perhaps Trowa's best Character Song.

風になりたい

言い訳はしないぜ

なぐさめもいらない

俺だけは信じてる
偽りの自由に
縛られた心じゃ
真実はつかめない

血の滲むこの手で守り続けたい
この命なんてきえてゆく流星

さびしげな目をして
遠い空見つめて
いつまでも探してる
広すぎる世界を
傷ついた翼で
駆けてゆく鳥になる

優しさはいらない今のこの俺に
戦いの中で燃え尽きる流星
LONELY

現実も未来も戦いの炎に

包まれて全ては夢さ
だから俺たちの命と消えてゆく笑顔が
新しい世界を作る必ず

最後まで心を

隠してるお前は
真実を見つめてる
どこまでも自由に
大空を羽ばたく
伝説の鳥になれ

悲しみの中から生まれる希望に
夢をたくしたら きえてゆく流星
LONELY

友情も記憶も戦いのさだめに

流されて全ては夢さ
今は荒れ狂う嵐に立ち向かう勇気が
新しい時代を作る 輝き

現実も未来の戦いの炎に

包まれて全ては夢さ
だから俺たちの命と消えてゆく笑顔が
新しい世界を作る 必ず

友情も記憶も戦いのさだめに

流されて全ては夢さ
今は荒れ狂う嵐に立ち向かう勇気が
新しい時代を作る 輝き

Love is a Shooting Star

I won't make excuses why I don't need comfort
I'm the only one who believes in false freedom
You can't grasp the truth with a bound heart

I want to keep protecting you with these bleeding hands

This life is a shooting star that is disappearing

Staring at the distant sky with lonely eyes
I'm forever searching for a world that's too vast
I become a bird that runs with my wounded wings

I don't need kindness,
Now I'm a burning meteor in battle
LONELY

Both the reality and the future are engulfed in the flames of battle
Everything is a dream
That's why our lives and fading smiles will create a new world

You who hide your heart until the end
I'm staring at the truth, anywhere freely
Become a legendary bird that flaps its wings in the sky

If you dream of hope born from sadness,
The shooting star will disappear
LONELY

Friendships and memories are swept away by the fate of battle
Everything is a dream
Courage to face the raging storm now
Brilliance that creates a new era

Both the reality and the future are engulfed in the flames of battle
Everything is a dream
That's why our lives and fading smiles will create a new world

Friendships and memories are swept away by the fate of battle
Everything is a dream
Now I have the courage to face the raging storm
Brilliance that creates a new era
