Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening Theme – Zankoku na Tenshi no Teeze

A Cruel Angel’s These
Vocals: Takahashi Yoko

Like a cruel angel
Young man, become a legend

Even if the blue wind knocks on the door of your chest now
You’re still looking only at me and smiling
Absorbed in yearning for things that you gently touch
Your childish eyes still don’t even know destiny

But will you notice someday? That on your back
There are wings for aiming for the faraway future

A cruel angel’s these will take off from the windowsill before long
On a surging, hot pathos, if you betray your memories
Embracing this universe and shining
Young man, become a legend

You’re forever sleeping in my cradle of love
Only you are the coming morning called upon by the messenger of dreams
The moonlight is reflecting your slender nape
You want to stop all the time in the world and shut them in, but-

If there’s a meaning in the fact that we were able meet
Then that’s right, it’s the bible for me to know freedom

In a cruel angel’s these, the sadness will then start
The shape of the life that you embraced is the moment when you woke from your dream
Shining more light than anyone else
Young man, become a legend

While people weave love, they create history
I still can’t become a goddess, yet I’ll live

A cruel angel’s these will take off from the windowsill before long
On a surging, hot pathos, if you betray your memories
Embracing this universe and shining
Young man, become a legend


Zankoku na Tenshi no Teeze
Vocals: Takahashi Yoko

Zankoku na tenshi no you ni
Shounen yo   shinwa ni nare

Aoi kaze ga ima   mune no doa o tataite mo
Watashi dake o tada mitsumete   hohoenderu anata
Sotto fureru mono   motomeru koto ni muchuu de
Unmei sae mada shiranai   itaike na hitomi

Dakedo itsuka kizuku deshou   sono senaka ni wa
Haruka mirai mezasu tame no   hane ga aru koto

Zankoku na tenshi no teeze   madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de   omoide wo uragiru nara
Kono sora o daite kagayaku
Shounen yo   shinwa ni nare

Zutto nemutteru   watashi no ai no yurikago
Anata dake ga   yume no shisha ni   yobareru asa ga kuru
Hosoi kubisuji o   tsukiakari ga utsushiteru
Sekaijuu no toki o tomete   tojikometai kedo

Moshi mo futari aeta koto ni   imi ga aru nara
Watashi wa sou   jiyuu o shiru tame no baiburu

Zankoku na tenshi no teeze   kanashimi ga soshite hajimaru
Dakishimeta inochi no katachi   sono yume ni mezameta toki
Dare yori mo hikari o hanatsu
Shounen yo   shinwa ni nare

Hito wa ai o tsumuginagara   rekishi o tsukuru
Megami nante narenai mama   watashi wa ikiru

Zankoku na tenshi no teeze   madobe kara yagate tobitatsu
Hotobashiru atsui patosu de   omoide wo uragiru nara
Kono sora o daite kagayaku
Shounen yo   shinwa ni nare

  1. yeah i dont think that is right because the beinning goes:

    Like a angel with no sense of mercy
    Raise young boy to the stars
    just like a Legend

    or something like that i havent seen eva in a long time

  5. What a great site/blog you have! I really don´t care about the english translation, yet. I am so happy that someone, you, have taken your time to write down the japanese vocal, with western letters.
    Thank you! 😀 😀
