 朝焼けに　染まりゆく天と地は
 深く抱き合いひとつになる
 赤き精霊が降りそそぐ　その声は
 彷徨い辿り着いた　私を包みこむ
  asayake ni  somariyuku ten to chi wa
  fukaku idakiai hitotsu ni naru
  akaki seirei ga furisosogu  sono koe wa
  samayoi tadoritsuita  watashi wo tsutsumikomu
     Painted by the morning light, the earth and sky
     Become one in a deep embrace
     Scarlet spirits drench the air, and as I find myself here,
     That voice envelops me

 あぁ　すべての生命は目覚め　この地球は生きる
  ah  subete no inochi wa mezame  kono hoshi wa ikiru [1]
     Ah... All life awakens, [1]
     This planet lives.

 走り去る獅子や　波打つ Sand storm
 傷ついた心は　愛で満たされる
 雲りひとつない　瞳の子供達は
 踊りながら歌を捧げ　静寂を破る
  hashirisaru ouja ya   namiutsu Sand storm [2]
  kizutsuita kokoro wa  ai de mitasareru
  kumori hitotsu nai  hitomi no kodomo-tachi wa
  odorinagara uta wo sasage  seijaku wo yaburu
     The striding king, the billowing sand storm [2]
     My wounded heart fills with love
     Children, their eyes cloudless and bright,
     Dance and sing away the silence

 あぁ　嘆きの天使が いつか この地球に来ても
  ah  nageki no tenshi ga itsuka kono hoshi ni kitemo
     Ah... Though angels of mourning
     May someday find this planet...

 −守られますように　守れるように−
 何処へ続く　祈りの道は
 響けもっと高く　空の彼方へ
 癒された心は　愛に燃えてゆく
  --mamoraremasu you ni  mamoreru you ni--
  doko he tsudzuku  inori no michi wa
  hibike motto takaku  sora no kanata he
  iyasareta kokoro wa  ai ni moete yuku
     --Grant us safety, grant us the power to save--
     Where the path of prayer leads
     Resound high and clear, beyond the broad sky
     My mended heart blazes with love

 −みんなを愛したい　愛されたい−
 そう願う時　乗り越えられる
 守られますように　守れるように…
 すべての生命は　愛にとけてゆく
  --minna wo ai shitai  ai saretai--
  sou negau toki  norikoerareru
  mamoraremasu you ni  mamoreru you ni...
  subete no inochi wa  ai ni tokete yuku
     --I wish to love everyone, I wish to be loved--
     When you make this prayer, you shall prevail
     Grant us safety, grant us the power to save...
     All life melts into love

TRANSLATOR'S NOTES:
* The title of this song may be borrowed from 19th century English writer H. Ridder Haggard's novel 'She'. In it, the narrator speaks of 'the substance from which all things draw their energy, the bright Spirit of the Globe, without which [the world] cannot live, but must grow cold and dead as the dead moon.'
[1] Here and in a later line, the reading 'inochi' (life) is given the kanji 'seimei' (life).
[2] The reading 'ouja' (king/champion) is given the kanji 'shishi' (lion).
