Heart, Return to your Origin (jap. original: Kokoro yo Genshi ni modore) Songtext

von Neon Genesis Evangelion

Light! Earth! Flowing air!...

[Instrumental Intro]

Those sad days will soon turn into fossils,
And your pain will be secretly led
To the forest of sleep.
Good night, all of you overly enthusiastic stray children,
Until the day your impatience evolves into a dream.

(Life is waiting for the dazzling morning.)
Even if final confession isn't granted
(Someday the darkness of this era will break into dawn.)
World! Close your eyes.
(Life is awakening, weaving time itself.)
As if to return to your proof
(And so, the light tells your heart)
Heart! Return to your origin.

[Instrumental]

You stand for a long time on the shore of tears
As if to gently conceal your feelings, the secret medicine
Transports them to the open sea of memories.
Good night. Let your fingers and ears, dirtied by morality,
Sleep within my arms.

(Life is waiting for the dazzling morning.)
Rather than hold on to your worn-out scriptures,
(Someday the darkness of this era will break into dawn.)
You! Abandon your prayers.
(Life is awakening, weaving time itself.)
Entrust yourself to the rules of nature.
(And so, the light tells your heart)
Heart! Return to your origin.

(Life is waiting for the dazzling morning.)
Even if final confession isn't granted
(Someday the darkness of this era will break into dawn.)
World! Close your eyes.
(Life is awakening, weaving time itself.)
As if to return to your proof
(And so, the light tells your heart)
Heart! Return to your origin.
