English (Official FUNimation)
For you, billions and billions of heartbeats Are nothing at all; just the blink of an eye Although I'm trapped by the past and lament the future Inevitability won't allow for even a speck of miscalculation

Our dreams and futures that form and expand into "infinity" Allow us the right to be vain, While the two hands of the clock point out what is "finite"

All of which leads up to a cruel contact and choice to make Hacking to the Gate So, now, with each passing second, I'll cross world lines

To protect that smile on your face Then, once again, into a time loop without sadness I will be swallowed up as a lone observer

English (Ender Smith translation)
A billion hearts are beating,

in a fleeting, temporal way.

In a moment's pause,

in a blink, they vanish away;

like a flash retreating.

Captured here in tomorrow's past

and lamenting the future, I wait.

I will not lose you!

can't afford to miscalculate --

you're falling too fast!

"Infinity:"

a concept that we made up,

to call our dream and our love

and the right to brag

of the futures that

we have sketched inside our heads.

"Finality:"

one day, the clockface will show;

two hands will point to accuse.

And I will go

to the crossroads

of endings and fate --

Hacking to the Gate!

In this second I'd

cross over world-lines to find

a way to keep you safe from harm!

I'd tear through the fabric of time,

if I could protect your smile!

Once again, I'll fall

into the into the hole that I made,

into a tearless loop of time --

a lonely observer to stay,

and the paradox to reconcile!

Endless proofs, lovely points of view,

revelations never enough --

thoughts so trivial,

you don't even bother to laugh.

It would only bore you.

Foolish! These so-called scientists

posit theorems, act like they hold;

they are childish,

yet they claim to rule the world --

ignorant bliss!

"Infinity:"

What's beyond our sky?

And what's between you and I?

We have claimed the right

to imagine that

these answers might be found.

"Finality:"

it chips away till you're gone,

allowing time to flow on.

I will stop it though,

stop tomorrow,

deny empty fate --

Hacking to the Gate!

I cannot pretend

that I could ever forget

all the promises I made my friends

back when we stood in the sun

and we made our master plans.

So, I'll use ev'ry

trick I have left to succeed

in deceiving time to get you back!

A lonely observer, I'll be,

when I never have to doubt again!
