Translation:
Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?

Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?

They ask me "The beginning or the end?"
"Did you give up Or are you holding on?"
"Are you shrugging off Or in despair?"
You tell me Just to go forward

Am I able to handle this kind of era?
Are you able to handle this kind of era?

Should I leave my body, or remain trapped inside it?
Should I pretend I can see it, or is it just not there anyway?
Should I fight, or raise the white flag?
I'm not going to run away like a victim

In this world, we have to slow down because we don't know everything
That way, we can continue down a cleared path

They ask me "The beginning or the end?"
"Did you give up Or are you holding on?"
"Are you shrugging off Or in despair?"
You tell me Just to go forward

Is it because I've become strong
That I can be without tears
Or ... ?

Niceeeeeeee
Love the lyrics, very powerful

I like them. ^-^

I think I should actually listen to Mirror and Mirrorcle World, now. :P

Nice lyrics.

Thanks so much, the lyrics are so powerful, I just love it !!

era...future...lost feelings - kinda old stuff =/

lol. :innocent

wow thanks.

I found some unofficial romaji on 2ch (credits go to them) and tried to correct the romaji above a little.

Mi wo makasen no ka tte
Fuuin saretai* no ka tte

Mite minu FURI ka tte
Mite mo inai no ka tte

Tatakatteru no ka tte
Shirohata na no ka tte

Giseisha tsura shite
Nigeteru baai ja nai

*I clearly hear "to". Sounds like "tometan".

Thanks for sharing the lyrics and translation! ^^

love them too!!
They are awesome...

yah, it's kind of old stuff, but it's still incredible

Nice!

I wish the third chorus would have been different though...

the theme is nothing new for Ayu. but the melody/mood/singing are very powerful.
wonder if they thought about this full length song when making the album GUILTY.

Wow! I like them! Sounds like a continuation of some older lyrics/themes, as some other members said.

I love the lyrics! Everybody could find himself in this text because we always ask these questions^^

My translation
 

After running through the full track without the CM voice-over, here is my take on the lyrics and translation.

Please everyone remember that at this point, nobody knows the exact lyrics. Even those which were already used in Mirror might have been slightly altered in some way. We simply have to wait for the single to be released and to see the lyric sheet.




Mirrorcle World (Japanese lyrics)
現在のこんな未来を僕は想像してただろうか
現在のこんな未来を君は想像してただろうか

現在のこんな未来を僕は望んでいたのだろうか
現在のこんな未来を君は望んでいたのだろうか

始まりなのかって　終焉なのかって
諦めたのかって　踏ん張ってんのかって

開き直ったかって　絶望したかって
ただ前に進めと　あなたが言うんじゃない

現在のこんな時代を僕は受け止められるだろうか
現在のこんな時代を君は受け止められるだろうか

身を任せんのかって　不意に止めたいのかって
見ているフリかって　見てもいないのかって

戦ってんのかって　白旗なのかって
犠牲者面して　逃げてる場合じゃない

ねえ　僕らのこの世界は減速する予想もなく
このまま加速度だけが増し続けたら

始まりなのかって　終焉なのかって
諦めたのかって　踏ん張ってんのかって

開き直ったかって　絶望したかって
ただ前に進めと　あなたが言うんじゃない

泣かないでいられるのは
強くなったから
それとも・・・



Mirrorcle World (Romaji Transliteration)
Ima no konna mirai wo boku wa souzou shite'ta darou ka
Ima no konna mirai wo kimi wa souzou shite'ta darou ka

Ima no konna mirai wo boku wa nozonde ita no darou ka

Mirrorcle World (English Translation)
I wonder if I ever imagined this kind of future. * (1)
I wonder if you ever imagined this kind of future.

I wonder if I ever hoped for this kind of future.
I wonder if you ever hoped for this kind of future.

Whether it's the beginning or the end, * (2)
Whether you've given up or you're holding your ground,

Whether you feel defiant or have lost all hope,
You tell yourself to just keep moving forward, don't you?

I wonder if I can accept this kind of era. * (3)
I wonder if you can accept this kind of era.

Whether you give in or suddenly want to stop it,
Whether you pretend to see or you're not even looking,

Whether you're fighting or it's a white flag,
Now's not the time to play the victim and run away.

Hey, we can’t expect this world of ours to slow down
At this rate, with its speed only getting faster.

I am able to not be crying
Because I've grown stronger.
Otherwise... * (4)




Notes:
(1) As in: "this kind of future that is presently apparent to come"
(2) 終焉 /shuuen/ = end [of something]; demise; downfall; death
(3) As in: "this kind of era that we are presently in"
(4) As in: "Otherwise [it is because...]".

Now we know why her anniversary single is 'Mirrorcle World' coz it kinda portrait her 'Life' from past til now

really powerful and deep meaning lyrics

Thank you :P

NICE! thank you :D

I LOVE these lyrics. And can I just say the song is AMAZINGGGGGGGg *_*

very inspiring and powerful lyrics!!

Nice lyrics. Themes might be a little overused, but I'd rather have her talk about this stuff than "bedroom time fun!" any day. Plus, I love the song. So pfft.

I love this lyrics so much
I wanna cry now

Good lyrics, but it's the sane old stuff really.


Thanks for the translation :D

nice :)

repeated lyrics... well

thanks for posting!

waww.. this lyric match with the song..
so cool and very strong lyric

the lyrics is so great!

Can't wait to hear the song Mirrocle world itself! and watch the mv too!

Beautiful... I really get what she wants to convey in this song...!

Thank you so much!!

Wow so many versions.... anyway thanks for taking your time to provide the lyrics/translations even though it may not be 100% correct yet...

Very nice. Thank you.

I agree! I'd totally take these lyrics any day. And it doesn't even matter because the song is so amazing. *nods*

Thanks for the translations!!

Thank you! I like lyrics.

This stuff is not new for Ayu (as many people said), but it will never get old...

I love those lyrics *__________*

Thank you for the translations. I love this song.

Thanks, now I can sing along! Great lyrics.

Thanks for the multiple translations haha... evolusean's and masa's are pretty much similar except for the wording... I like those the best :)

Thanks! Such powerful lyrics ;)

the lyrics are amazing, thank you :)

Song sounds as scary as Mirror is. :D But I'm going to get the single even if I got freaked out now. :3 I'm getting it only because of YOU and Depend on you new versions and Life. :D But yeah, nice translation though. <3

really strong, powerful and deep

love the lyrics

thnks for sharing ;)

great lyrics. thanks for posting them.

I love the lyrics! They have such a deep meaning!

Great lyrics.

I feel the same way about the lyrics. :yes

I like the lyrics :)
Powerful indeed. <3

amazing text lol :P 10x ^^

I think some people are being a little overly critical about Ayu's lyrics.

She's very consistent in the themes that she writes about, and I think that's what makes her such a good lyricist sometimes.. I mean she doesn't necessarily have too big of a variety [discussions of controversial topics and so on, but not many artists do that]... but at least she's not singing about lip gloss. XD

SPOILER!!!!

I love the lyrics!!! So powerful!!! Can't wait to buy single. You can listen to it here, unless you don't want to spoil it... up to you!!!

sounds like its about her hearing and career problems

Hi, can I repost the japanese lyrics on another forum?
thank you

Ahhh thank you! I love her lyrics so much!!!

THANKS!

Even though I could pick up certain parts of the song while listening to the original Mirror, it's just so much better seeing the full version translated. These lyrics are quite powerful---they're still hesitant and introspective, as expected of Ayu, but it's a more grown-up type of "What's the meaning of life" question. Goes fabulously with the pounding composition of the song.

thanks for the lyrics, is a wonderfull song, and very personal for Ayu I think ^.^

THanks for posting.
I like it, a lot, but I think it was a little unnecessary to turn Mirror into a single. I mean, I think Mirror was fine, now its become almost obsolete, or, superfluous


I agree 100%

"Should I leave my body, or remain trapped inside it?"

i was brainstorming with my friends on an ayu group on myspace, i said that there might be a coffin...well i said the start reminded me of a dancer person, very elegant, then tore her clothes off into rock glam....lol that's just what i think

sugooooooooooi lyrics . . .

so glad they made full version into a success and even MORE powerful!!! AHHHHH love it so much!!!
