[TL] Hokori Takaku aru tame ni - Tenjou Tenge

誇り高く有るために - 天上天下

孤独に打ち勝つ強さ
kodoku ni uchi katsu tsuyosa
All I have ever wanted
それだけがただ欲しかった
sore dake ga tada hoshikatta
was the strength to conquer loneliness.
使命を持つこの体
shimei wo motsu kono karada
I have been entrusted with a mission--
夜の闇に忍び時を待っている
yoru no yami ni shinobi toki wo matteiru
Stealthily, I lie in wait in the night's darkness.

誠を信じ 己を信じて
makoto wo shinji onore wo shinjite
Believe in the truth, and believe in yourself--
誰よりも強くあれ
dare yori mo tsuyoku are
be stronger than everyone else.
誇りのために 義のために
hokori no tame ni gi no tame ni
For the sake of pride, for the sake of justice--
そして愛すべき物そのために
soshite ai subeki mono sono tame ni
and for the sake of those you love.

煌け剣よ　燃えよ剣よ
kirameke ken yo moe yo tsurugi yo
O sword, shine and blaze!
遥かなる夢を抱いて
harukanaru yume wo idaite
With our sights set upon a faraway dream,
天上天下愛を貫け
tenjou tenge ai wo tsuranuke
our love will pierce the Heavens and the Earth.
誇り高く 気高く有るために
hokori takaku kedakaku aru tameni
So that we may remain proud and noble.

TL Notes:
bro it took me 8 minutes to translate this (longer for transcription but i didnt keep track LOL)
sasuga 3 am productivity
THE LYRICS ARE SO NICE!!! really smooth and i think this really captures tjtg - proud, noble, untouchable, regal, just etc.
煌け剣よ　燃えよ剣よ - fun fact!! 剣 is used twice but the first time its pronounced 'ken' and the second time its pronounced 'tsurugi'....... i...... i hope this is just for aesthetic .... it was also really strange to translate HAHA...
誠を信じ - hhmmm i think this is the right makoto? jsyk (unless you're familiar with the Shinsengumi then you definitely know), this makoto can mean sincerity, truth, etc, REALLY NICE THINGS!! But yeah I picked this one bc it felt right? ahha..
遥かなる夢を抱いて　- lit. embracing a faraway dream, but that doesn't sound quite right in english so \o/
使命を持つこの体　夜の闇に忍び時を待っている　- KIMU-NII!!!! /prayer emoji/ ok that aside, this is a strange line? was tempted to say 'this body has been entrusted with a mission' but yeah that's a little strange? also yep you heard right 'shinobi' like ninja hence 'stealth' \o/
