The English Translation of "sister's noise" from "A Certain Scientific Railgun S"

Closer than anyone else, your voice couldn't be heard (sister's noise, I find it out)　Continuing to carve it in time, finally, I met you　Sister's noise, I keep searching for it, the place in the wandering heart (sorrow of your heart, I shoot it down)　These feelings we've piled up together, no one can break them!

The city secretly hid you　The place I arrived at, memories revive　The truth that was repeated is distant　Without realizing your pain

Even if the dream entrusted to that day tears me apart　More than anything, I believe only in the precious hope　I want to convey living true to myself more than anything (sister's noise, I find it out)　If the pain of the continuing sadness is to carve its meaning　Sister's voice, I'll deliver it now, turning even tears into strength (sorrow of your heart, I shoot it down)　The strength that connects us will pierce through everything

After-school in the twilight, the usual townscape　Looking up at the sky, I remember the kindness
Your gaze made me realize　The strength of admitting weakness

Your warm hand guides me, even if it tears me apart　More than anything, I want to protect the hope that pierces through the darkness

The passionate feelings I embraced illuminate this world (sister's noise, I find it out)　Continuing to run, continuing to search, your dream begins to move　Sister's noise, it starts to resonate, the loud　meaning of life (sorrow of your heart, I shoot it down)　I understand, irreplaceable bonds won't break

I want to live true to myself more than anything (sister's noise, I find it out)　If the pain of the continuing sadness is to carve its meaning

Closer than anyone else, your voice couldn't be heard (sister's noise, I find it out)　Continuing to carve it in time, finally, I met you　Sister's noise, I keep searching for it, the place in the wandering heart (sorrow of your heart, I shoot it down)　We felt it, the same smile, I'll definitely protect it　Because it can't be broken by anyone anymore!
