[Shadow Hearts From the New World (Disc 2)] Un gemito dell'estinto ~Game Over~

Album: Shadow Hearts From the New World (Disc 2)
Track: 28

Original lyrics from the poem Nebbie by Ada Negri. Nebbie was eventually turned into a song by Ottorino Respighi. The first verse in Nebbie was also used for the Hanakisou bonus song Hajimari wo Tsugerumono (What Informs of the Beginning). Quite a bit of Shikata's early Italian works come from Respighi.

Original

Alto gracchiando, i corvi,
Fidati all'ali nere,
Traversan le brughiere
Torvi.

Dell'aere ai morsi crudi
Gli addolorati tronchi
Offron, pregando, i brochi nudi.
Come ho freddo!

Son sola;
Pel grigio ciel sospinto
Un gemito destinto
Vola;

English Translation

Piercing caw, the crow
Trusting their black wings
Traverse the wilderness,
grimly.

The air bites rawly
The grieving timbers
Praying, give a bare branch.
As I am cold!

I am alone;
Pushed into the grey heaven
A moan of the dead
soars;

My Italian is so-so, so if you spot a mistake kindly let me know.
