Eternal Blue  -  Eien no Omoi (Eternal Blue  -  Eternal Love)

hitori no toki wa kizukanakatta                   When I was alone, I did not notice             
me ni shimiru you na aozora o                     the piercing blue sky.
hitori no toki wa kikoenakatta                    When I was alone, I did not hear 
mune o furuwaseru kaze no oto o                   the sound of the wind that chilled my heart.

oshiete kureta no wa dare ka de wa naku           The person who taught me this is not just anyone;
itsu demo chikaku ni ite hagemashite kureru       he is always close by, encouraging me.

anata no kodou kanjinagara omoiegaita wa          As I felt your heartbeat, my mind envisioned
hohoemi kawashi dasareta te o tomadotte           exchanged smiles, outstretched hands, bewilderment  - 
tsunaide iru no futari                            the two of us, bound together.

hitori no toki wa wakaranakatta                   When I was alone, I did not understand
hontou no sabishisa to iu koto                    the true meaning of loneliness.
hitori no toki wa sagasenakatta                   When I was alone, I could not look for
asa ga akeru no o matsu wake o                    a reason to wait for the break of dawn.

afureru hi no hikari tsutsumareru toki            When I am drenched in the overflowing sunlight,
ryoute de dekiru kagiri nobashidakishimeru        two hands draw me close and hold me as tightly as possible.

anata to watashi torimakumono iro o obite iku     You and I, showing the wear of our burdens;
watashi to anata michibikumono terashidasu        you and I, illuminating each other's paths,
kata o yoseau futari                              shoulder to shoulder, together.

anata to watashi haruka tooku hanarebanare demo   You and I are far, far apart, but
watashi to anata kitto itsu ka deaeru wa          you and I can surely someday be reunited  -  
tsuyoku hikiau futari                             strongly drawn together.

Translation Notes: 
"Eien no Omoi" can mean either "Thoughts of Eternity" or "Eternal Love"; 
the double meaning is probably intentional.

The last stanza would flow better if it were "You and I are far, far apart, 
but you and I, strongly drawn together, can someday surely be reunited", but
I decided to keep the original line syntax intact in order to preserve the 
parallelism of the stanzas ending with the word "together", which suits the 
song's theme.

"Hagemashite" in line 6 can also mean "to cheer up".

My translation of line 16 might be a bit shaky.  The expression "--- iro o 
obiru" means, basically, "to look ---", and "torimaku" means "to encircle,
surround, or crowd".  I interpreted its use with "mono" and in the song's
context to mean the things that are hemming Hiro and Lucia in and crowding
them, and the closest word in English I could think of to approximate that
meaning was "burdens".  I believe my translation of the line is acceptable,
but please e-mail me if it isn't.

Working Designs provides a pseudo-translation of this song in the Eternal
Blue manual which is awkward, incomplete, and pays no attention to Japanese
grammatical construction.  I don't know why such a version was published by
a company that obviously had a number of skilled translators in its employ
-  whether the company thought that an extremely stilted translation, which
would presumably be accepted as "authentically Japanese" in its stiltedness,
would make their own version of the song look better, or what  -  but 
hopefully this document will semi-correct the oversight.
