Fly again

In an unending,
Brawling battle,
Bleed valor!
Rekka Shinen!
Help the weak until you gain a victory for peace.

In a brawling battle,
Let the sparks fly!
Rekka Shinen!
Flowers and storms and walls--
Overcome them.

With one incantation,
Any darkness is destroyed HA HA HA!
Hope is always power.
Launch the flowers of light.

Can't get really strong
By always winning.
Inside of pain, there blooms
A seed called courage.

As much as this world is overrun with sorrow,
I won't abandon my tears, I won't overlook them.
I'll flame the really unbeatable enemies.
Make a twinkling star bloom in your heart!

In an unending,
Brawling battle,
Bleed valor!
Rekka Shinen!
Help the weak until you gain a victory for peace.

In a brawling battle,
Let the sparks fly!
Rekka Shinen!
Flowers and storms and walls--
Overcome them.
Try again.

With a single kick, I can knock down
Even the guys looking to control others.
People's hearts are free,
Flapping unseen wings.

A dark power is born
From the grief of lost love,
So any kind of love
Should not be wasted.

In the struggle to find paradise in this world,
Even the effort is awesome, not weak.
It's the most fun, it's a blast.
Make a twinkling star bloom in your heart!

In an unending,
Brawling battle,
Bleed valor!
Rekka Shinen!
Brandish justice on friend and foe.

In a brawling battle,
Let the sparks fly!
Rekka Shinen!
But when it comes to love, this is it.

In an unending,
Brawling battle,
Bleed valor!
Rekka Shinen!
Help the weak until you gain a victory for peace.

In a brawling battle,
Let the sparks fly!
Rekka Shinen!
Flowers and storms and walls--
Overcome them.
Fly again.

Notes: "Rekka Shinen" roughly means "Blazing Divine Flame."

Chiriko was actually the first major voice-acting role for Kawakami Tomoko. She went on to a bit bigger role, as Tenjou Utena, title character of Shoujo Kakumei Utena. She's also played Rika of Card Captor Sakura, Hanmyo of Outlaw Star, and Noel of Tenshi ni Narumon.

Translation

Dajia lai la iya sakae
Utsukushiki sanga arishi kuni
Minoru daichi yutaka na umi
Hokorashii inochi yo tokoshie ni

Itsu no hi ka kurokumo ga
Tami no yorokobi ubai ni kuru
Demo anzuru na akirameru na
Mikado to tomo ni kibou no hi o tomose

Kuni ga ayaui toki
Miko to Shichi Seishi
Suzaku shin o yonde
Horobi o sukuu
Kore ga Kounan oukoku no iitsutae

Zhanqi lai la sora utae
Subarashiki yume umareru kuni
Genki na tami sakaeru ichi
Yami ni watashite narau sekai

Isekai kara Miko ga kite
Shichi Seishi to tachiagaru toki
Tami no kokoro hitotsu tonari
Mune no mannaka ni akai hi ga tomoru

Suzaku shin no chikara
Miko to deau toki
Donna negaigoto mo
Kanaeru to iu
Kore ga Kounan oukoku no iitsutae
Mukashi mukashi kara no iitsutae

Dajia lai la. Become even more fruitful,
A land having beautiful mountains and rivers,
Rich soil, abundant seas,
It's always a proud life.

One day, dark clouds
Will come to steal away the subjects' happiness,
But don't fear, don't give up.
With the emperor, light a fire of hope.

When the land is in dangerous times
The Priestess and her Seven Seishi
Will call the Suzaku god
And save us from destruction.
This is the legend of the Kounan kindgom.

Zhanqi lai la. Lo, sing!
A land that gives birth to wonderful dreams,
Cheerful subjects, thriving markets,
A world that will not be handed over to darkness.

When the Priestess comes from the other world
And stands with her Seven Seishi,
The subjects' hearts become one
And a crimson fire of love burns inside their hearts.

When the Priestess encounters
The Suzaku god's power,
Any kind of wish
Can be granted.
This is the legend of the Kounan kingdom,
A legend from long, long ago.

Notes:

1) Dajia la la--Chinese for "Everyone came"
2) Zhanqi lai la--Chinese for "Everyone stood"
