Wow, this board has been kind of dead while I was gone.
Anyway, after finishing all the Gunslinger Girl image song translations, I found I missed that particular brand of frustration and confusion that only Revo can provide, hence my choice of song. Well, not really, but close enough. At least this one hasn't got any badly-pronounced Italian to figure out.
Schwarzweiß ~霧の向こうに繫がる世界~
Schwarzweiß ~Kiri no Mukou ni Tsunagaru Sekai~
Schwarzweiß (Black-white) ~A Connected World Beyond the Mist~
光が欲しくて暗闇に手を伸ばす
目醒めを待っていたのは見知らぬ世界
hikari ga hoshikute kurayami ni te o nobasu
mezame o matte ita no wa mishiranu sekai
Wanting light, I reached out into the darkness
Waiting to awaken was an unknown world
そして胸に揺らめく誰かの笑顔を
抱いたままに彷徨いながらも
進む男は行く手を遮る霧を
薙ぎ払う絆憶い(思い)出す......
soshite mune ni yurameku dareka no egao o
daita mama ni samayoinagara mo
susumu otoko wa yukute o saegiru kiri o
nagiharau kizuna omoidasu
And so, embracing someone's smile which flickers in his heart
Even as he wanders, lost
The man who continues onwards remembers the bonds
Which cut through the mist that obscures his path
家路の幻像を描き空を越える物語
黒い宵(ナイト)... 白い息(ブレス)...彼は詩う
無垢な蕾の愛娘(アリス)へと......
ieji no yume [1] o egaki sora o koeru monogatari

Painting a dream of the way home, the legend crosses the sky
Black night... white breath... he sings
To the Alice of the pure bud...
思いを込めても言葉は時に無力で
行動した者だけが真実を掴む
omoi o komete mo kotoba wa toki ni muryoku de
koudou shita mono dake ga shinjitsu o tsukamu
Even if you put your feelings into them, words are sometimes powerless
Only those who act can grasp the truth
やがて胸に煌めく少女の決意は
櫂を手繰り彼方へ漕ぎ出し
虚像を映し相手を惑わす霧を
振り払う強さ手に入れる......
yagate mune ni kirameku shoujo no ketsui wa
kai o tesaguri kanata e kogidashi
kyozou o utsushi aite o madowasu kiri o
furiharau tsuyosa te ni ireru...
And soon, the girl's decision which shines in her heart
Grasps for the oar and begins to row to a faraway place
Obtaining the strength to shake off
The mist that reflects false images, confusing the beholder...
迷いの幻夢(ゆめ)を抜ける扉(ドア)を探す物語
黒い蟲(ワーム)...白い霧(ミスト)...彼女は挑む
無慈悲な森の悪意(マリス)へと......

The legend searches for the door out of the dream of confusion
Black worm... white mist... she issues a challenge
To the malice of the merciless forest...
出会いの数だけ...繫がる冒険譚...
一陣の風(ガスト)に乗って...箱庭(アトリエ)に届くだろう...
出会えるよ何時か...嗚呼...孤独じゃないから...
困難な途でも...今日が最低でも...笑うならきっと......

GASUTO [11] ni notte... ATORIE [12] ni todoku darou
deaeru yo itsuka... aa... hitori ja nai kara...
konnan na michi demo... kyou ga saite demo... warau nara kitto...
The story which has as many meetings as connections
Will surely reach the atelier, riding a gust of wind
We will meet someday... ah... because you're not alone
Even if the path is hard... even if today is bad... if you smile, surely...
やがて胸に旗めく冒険者達(彼ら)の願いは
翼を広げて 世界を廻り
散らばる希望を集め 全てを隔てる霧を
吹き払う光 解き放つ......

tsubasa o hirogete sekai o meguri [14]
chirabaru kibou o atsume subete o hedateru kiri o

And soon, their wishes which flutter in their hearts
Will spread their wings and fly around the world
Gathering up the scattered homes, they will release the light
Which blows away the mist that isolates everything...
白夜の幻想(ゆめ)のような 永遠(とわ)を紡ぐ物語
黒い刃(エッジ)...白い灰(アッシュ)...運命(ぽく)は還える
女神の瞳の虹彩(イリス)へと......

Like the dream of a white night, the legend spins eternity
Black sword... white ash... Destiny is returning
To the irises of your eyes...
