Hatsune Miku - Firefly (蛍) - English & Romaji Subs

Tanabata, Obon―redolent of Japanese summer.

Author's Comment (translated):
It is the season of thinking about people who have been gone, with your eyes shut.
Leisurely enjoy together with somen and mugicha.

Original by PENGUINS PROJECT, Movie by オサレP (Osare P),
From http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11602026

Note:
somen (そうめん) = white and thin noodle. A cold food to have with shoyu flavor soup.
mugicha (麦茶) = cold barley tea.

-----
Title in romaji: Hotaru

Translated lyrics:

Tucking my kneecaps
I burrow into the other side of a round well
And open my hands with my eyes shut tight

The water starts overflowing to the dark which glows once in a hundred years

I hold a distant hand lightly, "It's so cold here"
Crossing over the river in the dark, straying in the drought

I have to go. A whistle calls me
It reminds me of a midday moon

But this way
Again this way
Just this way
I want to be this way still

I can't say a word
I can't see a thing

*Eh-oh The Galaxy Planes flowing slowly and loosely
Eh-oh The Milky Way fluttering far away
Deh-oh The Galaxy Breeze, gathered in hands and hands
Deh-oh No afraid. Now I'm not alone

Rain falls, grass is stifling and wraps up my round body
I scratch soil and grope from the earth to the world, up and down

Cluelessly I think of a distant country
I've crossed the Mekong River and now take to the air

Where are you? Where am I?
In the dark night redolent of summer
My former own in that time now clutches a paper-lantern

It's time for me to halt this repeat
Deep green, soaked with blood surge

But to do that
Again to do that
Forever to do that
I wish you to do that

Welcome your return to my sky

(Repeat * twice)

Now you're not alone

Note:
Paper-lantern = chochin(ちょうちん). Traditional lightning equipment.

@chimp4rent the subs file is made on the software Final Cut. do you have it? I guess what you want to do is difficult.

you'd better make a subs from the beginning. you can get the original video from other videos reprinted from the original, using the url vixy.net/rawvideo/
