いつか大人になって
思い出に変わったら
またここで出会いましょう
私は待ってるから

itsuka otona ni natte

mata koko de de aimashou
watashi wa matteru kara

Someday you’ll turn into an adult
and when all our times turn into memories
one more time, let’s meet up here again
after all, I’ll be waiting

初めて出会った時
はじけるような笑顔で
半分こに分ける幸せ
教えてくれたよね

hajimete de atta toki
hajikeru you na egao de
hanbunko ni wakeru shiawase
oshiete kureta yo ne

When we first met each other
with your face, burst into a smile
you taught me how to share
my happiness with you, you know

涙を流したこと
ケンカをしたこと
大人になったときに
どれも思い出になる

namida o nagashita koto
kenka o shita koto
otona ni natta toki ni
doremo omoide ni naru

We’ve had times where we’ve shed our tears
and times when we’ve gotten into fights
When you’ve become an adult
these times will all become memories

皆揃って過ごしたあの夏
どれもこれもが大切な宝物

minna sorotte sugoshita ano natsu
doremo koremo ga taisetsu na takaramono

The time we all spent together during that summer
each and every moment is an important treasure

ただ傍にいてくれるだけで
「幸せ」を感じたまだ覚えてる
君の「ぬくもり」を

Just by staying by my side
I felt “happiness”, I still remember
that “warmth” of yours

anata o wasurenai kara

No matter how many years pass, I will never
ever forget you, so
“thank you” for meeting me

いつもの夕暮れ時は
ただ手を繋いで
あなたに甘えたくて
ちょっと裾を引いてた

itsumo no yuugure toki wa
tada te o tsunaide
anata ni amaetakute
chotto suso o hiiteta

During our usual evenings
we just joined our hands
I had wanted to be spoiled by you
I lightly pulled on your dress

二人で向き合った毎日はただ
どれもこれもが大切だったよね
だから

futari de muki atta mainichi wa tada
doremo koremo ga taisetsu datta yo ne
dakara

Every day we faced each other was simply
each and every moment, precious
and so

いつか今日の日を
思い出して懐かしくなったら
いつでも会いに来て また笑ってよ

someday when you
remember these old days, and they become nostalgic
you can come see me any time, and we’ll smile again

No matter how many years pass, I will always
be right here waiting for you, so
come and see me please

watashi wa yami no naka de hikaru anata o sagasu

I don’t care at all about your way of life smeared in lies
I’ll search through this darkness for your light

ただ優しさに吸い込まれて
笑顔に救われた
あなたがここにいてくれて
本当によかった

tada yasashisa ni suikomarete
egao ni sukuwareta
anata ga koko ni ite kurete
honto ni yokatta

I was just soaked up by your kindness
and saved by your smiling face
For you being here with me
I’m truthfully grateful

あなたに伝えたい
生まれてくれて 「ありがとう」
幸せでした

Someday when you’ve become an adult
I want to shout out to you
“thank you” for being born
I was in pure joy

Saint

After translating Dolls, I wondered how many other Alstroemeria songs I liked that were untranslated (even though this was actually arranged by Syrufit), and was surprised to find this one. I spent way longer than I should have, working on this one. I think I may have put a little too many tags onto this one.

★ Title: Saint
☆ Album: Fragment Reactions
Love best
★ Album Artists: Syrufit (Studio “Syrup Comfiture”)
Alstroemeria Records
☆ Vocals and lyrics: Mei Ayakura (綾倉盟)
★ Arrangement: Syrufit (Studio “Syrup Comfiture”)
☆ Original Title: Reincarnation

 

渇きを潤すぬるい風
あと幾つ数えるの
切なさが思い出になるまで
少し夢見させて

kawaki o uruosu nurui kaze
ato ikutsu kazoeru no
setsunasa ga omoide ni naru made
sukoshi yume misasete

A lukewarm, damp air that quenches thirst
How many more will you count?
Until my memories become painful
let me dream a little more

もし生まれ変われるなら
想いは届かない場所へ

moshi umare kawareru nara
omoi wa todokanai basho e

If I were to be able to be born again
then off, out to the place where my thoughts don’t reach

記憶 紐を解いて
ひとつずつ辿ってみるの
吸い込まれそうなほど
透き通った時間彷徨う
引き換えに出来るのは
瞳と心と囁き
願い叶うのなら
あなたのキスで溶かして

kioku himo o toite
hitotsu zutsu tadotte miru no
sui komaresou na hodo
suki tootta jikan samayou
hikikae ni dekiru no wa
hitomi to kokoro to sasayaki
nagai kanau no nara
anata no kisu de tokashite

Untying strings of my memories
one by one I try to follow up
It seems I’ve done it enough for them to be sucked in
To wander about a time that’s become transparent

For this, I can exchange
my eyes, heart and whispers
If my wish comes true
then melt with your kiss

見上げる事を躊躇ってた
星空が包み込む
優しく浮かぶは朧月夜
どうして泣いてるの。。。?

mi ageru koto o tameratteta
hoshizora ga tsutsumi komu
yasashiku ukabu wa oborodzukiyo
doushite naiteru no…?

I had hesitated to look on up
The starry sky is wrapped up
by a gently floating misty, moonlit night
Why am I crying now…?

もし生まれ変われるなら
私は私でいさせて

moshi umare kawareru nara
watashi wa watashi de isasete

If I were to be able to be born again
let me stay as myself

もう振り返らない
焦がれる幸せ犠牲に
この手を刃にして
壊す事なんてできない
零れ落ちる涙は
流れ星にならなかった
いっそ消えるのなら
あなたのキスで溶かして

mou furi kaeranai
kogareru shiawase gisei ni
kono te o yabai ni shite
kowasu koto nante dekinai
kobare ochiru namida wa
nagareboshi ni naranakatta
isso kieru no nara
anata no kisu de tokashite

I won’t look back anymore
at the sacrifice it took for this longed for happiness
I turn my arm into a blade
but I can’t destroy anything
My tears that spill and fall
haven’t turned into shooting stars
If they’d sooner disappear
then melt me with your kiss

Without words I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate

I still love you I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate…

Without words I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate

I still love you I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate…

Dolls

If I can dance someday then will my dreams come true?

Ah 闇の中で眠る 人形は 夢見続け待つの

Ah yami no naka de nemuru ningyou yume mi tsudzuke matsu no

Ah, sleeping within the darkness, dolls continue to dream and wait
During a time when sorrow keeps on adding up, all alone, until the day they’re picked up

Even surrounded by the dark cloud of sadness, I dream of the day I can dance
Continuing to love and believe in you, waiting for the time when you come to pick me up

I’m not here for anyone else but you, forever and always love me!
Even in the darkness where loneliness persists, I wait to someday be embraced

闇で震えても そうよ I’m your believer
私忘れずに ずっと Love Forever
闇で信じてる そうよ I’m your believer
貴方信じてる ずっと I’m your dolls!

yami de shinjiteru sou yo I’m your believer
anata shinjiteru zutto I’m your dolls!

Even shaking in the darkness, that’s right, I’m your believer
Without forgetting me, always love me forever
Believing while in the darkness, that’s right, I’m your believer
Believing in you, forever I’m your doll!

Ah 夢の中で触れる 温もりは 今も光くれる

Ah, the warmth I feel in this dream even now provides me light
In the midst of love where sorrow accumulates, all alone, until the day I am picked up

Even in the darkness where loneliness persists, I wait to someday be embraced

貴方の胸にやっと触れた そこに温かさはなかった
開くことない貴方の目を そっと愛おしくて触れる
業火の中で朽ち果てても ずっと貴方の傍いられる
貴方のために此処にいるわ

anata no mune ni yatto fureta soko ni atatakasa wa nakatta
hiraku koto nai anata no me wo sotto itooshikute fureru
gouka no naka de kuchihatetemo zutto anata no soba irareru
anata no tame ni koko ni iru wa

Finally I’ve been hugged close your chest, but there was no warmth there
Softly and lovingly I feel you, whose eyes are never to open again
Even when I’m burned to ash in the hellfire, I’ll always be by your side
I’m right here, for your sake alone

I’m a Doll ずっと貴方の物

I’m a Doll zutto anata no mono

I’m a doll, forever belonging to you

Twinkle twinkle, even though it’s surely pretend..
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
The one true face of one person in this world
is reaching to change us all
even all the way across centuries

この世界の内側で
2つのものを比べてくと
変わらないで創られて
頭の中を崩して

kono sekai no uchigawa de
futatsu no mono o kurabeteku to

Within the inside of this world
if you’re to compare two things
it can be made so there’s no difference
I will destroy what’s in your mind

まだ忘れず1人帰る
今確かめられるかな

mada wasurezu hitori kaeru

One person who still has not forgotten returns home
Can they tell something’s off right now?

キラキラ確かなフリしても

Twinkle twinkle, even though it’s surely pretend
it’s expanding even bigger than the new moon
If you think it’s a lie, let’s check for sure
It will become beautiful and priceless
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
The one true face of one person in this world
is reaching to change us all
even far across the centuries

君が良いと人が言うと

迷ってるの
進んでゆく未来さえも
両手に空を抱えて

Why people say “You’re a good person”
I still don’t understand
I’m lost
Even the approaching future
holds up the sky with both arms

今壊れる世界の中で
わからないのはなにかな

ima kowareru sekai no naka de

Right now, within the inside of this broken world
what is it that I don’t understand?

2人で何度も花咲いて
一番星よりも広く膨らむ
そう確かなものじゃない
この歴史は語るために
外側から見た幻想は
この世界の仕組みを少しも変えずに
もう最後に塵となる
これから何世紀さえ

mou saigo ni chiri to naru
korekara nanseiki sae

Together, again and again, blooming
becoming even larger than the largest star in the sky
That’s right, it’s not something that’s real
for the sake of this history to speak
Watching this illusion from the outside
without changing the structure of the world in the slightest
In the very end, it amounts to dust
from here on out and even centuries on

嘘じゃない
何度も花咲いて
この世界の仕組みは少しも変わらず
壊して創られた
言葉の本質の中
立ち止まって見た
この空で一番星よりも輝くものは
そう確かなものじゃない
まるで約束主義みたい

sou tashika na mono janai
marude yakusoku shugi mitai

It’s not a lie
blooming again and again
without changing the structure of the world in the slightest
It can be destroyed, and rebuilt again
it’s in the essence of my words
At this sky that I stopped and looked at
what’s even brighter than the brightest star in the sky is
that’s right, it’s not something that’s for real
it seems as if a rule was made

キラキラ確かなフリしても
