【Natsuki Karin】 Weigh Anchor / 抜錨 - English cover 【SynthVカバー】 (難易度Lv5)

“Oh, dear ship of mine, you’re still here floating by my side”

I'm super happy with how this one came out. I love this song and I had SO much fun writing the lyrics. Karin is one of the most fun VBs to use, in my opinion, though she's a bit hard. I wish more people used her in English stuff, but I guess I must be the change I wish to see in the world. Rikka and Chifuyu are on harmonies, though you can only really hear Rikka.

Lyrics (feel free to use with credit):
There’s gotta be more wonderful things in life
Than the memories that you cannot forget
I just don’t think it’s beautiful or right
To let go of everything in your head
Maybe it’s true that all of our sad times
Don’t define our lives or our paths ahead
Yet it always seems our woes and delights
Will be compared in the end

Oh, dear ship of mine, you’re still here floating by my side
Weathering the rains and the roiling tides
All of the time that I spent with you’s rooted deep below, but I
Think the anchor needs to lift and
It’s time for us to say goodbye

I put down fingers as I count my wounds
And quantify all the pain that I’ve gone through
The single pinky that I haven’t used
Must be from my deep love for you
There will be many times when your heart aches
Where all of your effort is rendered in vain
Yet your radiant red string of fate’s
Gotten tangled somewhere all the same

I suppose that it’s not that you’re afraid
Of just the things that still remain unknown
You don’t really seem to envy or crave
All of the things you cannot own
Then kindness must not be the only way
To let your strong gratitude for others show
But being unrefined leaves a sour taste
On my tongue when I’m alone

Oh, my dear wings please take me high so I can earn my praise
Though this crowd will never let me slip away
Even in our childhood days, everyone aimed to reach that lofty place
My fever makes things blurry, so
That past is awfully vague

I’ll cut my hair and change how I present
And repaint my nails despite my discontent
I’ll make even my dull and innocent
Features all seem magnificent
One day some people’s wishes will come true
Though many will still remain unanswered too
I hope that we’ll be in the lucky few
Though regardless I’ll be there for you

Oh, flowers with no purpose, scatter on the surface

I put down fingers as I count my wounds
And quantify all the pain that I’ve gone through
The single pinky that I haven’t used
Must be from my deep love for you
There will be trying times when my heart aches
Where all of my effort is rendered in vain
I’ll someday manage to cut away
My cursed red string of fate

Whisper to the petals floating at sea
And give them a gentle kiss out of pity
Only when you can look back freely
Can you let go of memories
There will be confusing times that may ache
But that doesn’t mean all our effort’s in vain
It’s a difficult thing to sustain
Loving someone in this way
