Deep River - Translated*~ Lyrics
Connecting point to point;
Drawing lines with my finger
Is the road I've came down my true destination?
Line to line, we link together
Before long, everyone arrives at the sea
And will become one. That's why I'm not scared
Oh oh, flowing through
Countless rivers
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without ever asking 'why'?
Our pain just now flew away
That's why
That's why
That's why
That's why I chose you
We weren't entrusted with swords
Just so we'd know how they sound when they clash.
Who can protect you from this kind of contradiction?
Oh oh, you change shape so many times
Floating down before me
Today I'm looking for you.
Oh oh, you don't have to be accepted
Everywhere. Everyone was blessed with a blade
Called "individuality"
Oh oh, sometimes the river flow changes
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without having anything.
The birds facing against the
Sea breeze just flew away
Drawing lines with my finger
Is the road I've came down my true destination?
Before long, everyone arrives at the sea
And will become one. That's why I'm not scared
Countless rivers
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without ever asking 'why'?
Our pain just now flew away
That's why
That's why
That's why I chose you
Just so we'd know how they sound when they clash.
Who can protect you from this kind of contradiction?
Floating down before me
Today I'm looking for you.
Oh oh, you don't have to be accepted
Everywhere. Everyone was blessed with a blade
Called "individuality"
You don't have to accept everything
Oh oh, with the name you're given
Without having anything.
The birds facing against the
Sea breeze just flew away

Hi there everybody! I just wanted to say, what I think this song is about. Although I've read a slightly different translation, all in all it's the same.
There is some kind of intro to Deep River... I've seen it somewhere on youtube, but it's probably been taken down by now ... Hikki talks about how parents love their children, because the children resemble the parents so much. And then the song starts ...
"My finger draws a line Between two points Those points are the road I’ve walked so far and my destination"
That's about life, kinda seen from above.
"The two of us are joing two points Eventually we’ll reach the sea and become one Though I’m not afraid…"
That's about when two people meet each other and their lives get intertwined. "We'll reach the sea and become one" ... to become one is definitely about having a child.
"We flow down many rivers without asking for a why We don’t have to accept everything We're as free as the names we were given Now the pain flies away"
That's so true. People live their lives without questioning it. You don't have to accept everything, because life isn't always fair. We are all independent individuals - we're free. I still think the last line is about death ...
"This sword hasn’t been entrusted to us So that we can hear the sound of one sword striking another Who can we protect with such a contradiction?"
It's like Spiderman: "with great power comes great responsibility". lol. With "this sword" Hikkis means individuality. We weren't born and blessed with the ability to think so that we could kill each other or kill the earth. We have to love and appriciate it all.
"I’m searching today For you, who changed your form so many times Before you descended before me We don’t need to try To be accepted anywhere We have all been blessed with a sword of individuality"
In a way we were always searching for the people we met. We all meet coincidental, nothing is predetermined (at least I don't think so). The person you meet (probably Hikki means the love of your life) has lived for some time and has changed form many times (fx. from baby to teenager to adult) before your meet him/her.
"There are times where the rivers flow changes Without carrying anything with it We don’t have to accept everything We're as free as the names we were given Now the birds fly away with the seabreeze"
Again, life isn't always fair, so you don't have to accept it. You're free to change your life.
"Now the birds fly away with the seabreeze" ... that's about end of life.
I love this song! At first, I thought it was about someone loving someone. now, I think it's about someone who loves someone, but like a river, your love can change for that person. A river won't always be the same. rivers changes, just like love
"Oh oh, sometimes the river flow changes You don't have to accept everything Oh oh, with the name you're given Without having anything. The birds facing against the Sea breeze just flew away"
