Wan~椀~

Whoa, spent much longer than I thought I’d need to on this one. It had some pretty tough lines in it, I thought this song was a bit beyond what I could do before I started. I’m not all too familiar with the characters of DDC, so I can’t really offer much input on meanings or anything here this time.

野に一条 渡る川より
こっちよおいで
漂流者を呼び寄せ

no ni hitosuji wataru kawa yori
kocchi yo oide
hyouryuusha o yobi yose

Rather than the river extending across the plain
come over this way instead
I call out for the drifters

心を食み 枯れ切った頃に
病み患い熱を帯びて

kokoro o hami karekitta koro ni
yami wazurai netsu o obite

Back when I ate my heart and withered up
sick with malady, I wore a fever

離れる 流れる
抗えないことばかり
滝は雨 泣いた雨
汚れた身を削いで空

hanareru nagareru
aragaenai koto bakari
taki wa ame naita ame
kegareta mi o soide sora

Drifting away, streaming away
nothing but going with the flow
Waterfalls of rain, the sky cried down rain
chipping away at my polluted body

怒りを裂け夜ら 癒えるものか
願いの族 小人である

ikari o sake yora ieru mono ka
negai no zoku kobito de aru

The nights cleave up anger, like hell I’ll be healed
in this clan of wishers, as a Kobito

紙芝居の続きを秘めて
時 遥かに 肖像画の人はと

kamishibai no tsuzuki o himete
toki haruka ni shouzouga no hito wa to

“When you hide the sequel to the paper picture story
far off in time, what about the people in the portrait?”

問いかければ 知らぬと応え
もういいよ おいで あれは君

toikakereba shiranu to kotae
mou ii yo oide are wa kimi

If that question is asked, “I don’t know” is the response
Don’t worry about it, come now, that there is you

降りやめ 閉じた雨
浸るほどに満ちてまた
錆びた雨 黴びた雨
打ちつけた 彩り坂

furi yame tojita ame
hitaru hodo ni michite mata
sabita ame kabita ame
uchitsuketa irodori saka

The rain that closed, that stopped pouring
grows again to the point where I’m soaked
The rusted rain, the moldy rain
beat down against the hill’s colours

月舞踏は夜明けまでの宴
地鳴り篭る

tsuki butou wa yoake made no utage
jinari komaru

The moon’s dance is a party up until dawn
I’m confined to the ground’s rumbles

積みきれたかい?
そんな鬼の落し物を━。

tsumi kireta kai?
sonna oni no otoshimono o

Did I pack it with me?
The lost property of that oni

出し風場になぁれ
次の世へと渡るなら
舞い風刃になぁれ
もしもそれを望むなら

dashi kaze ba ni naare
tsugi no yo e to wataru nara
maikaze ba ni naare
moshimo sore o nozomu nara

It’ll become a place of rushing wind
if I cross into the next world
It’ll turn to dancing razor wind
if I were to wish it so

見つけての声はそこにいたか
禊の針

mitsukete no koe wa soko ni ita ka
misogi no hari

Was the voice I found really there?
In that purification needle

光を刺せ夜ら 褒美の実とは
その日を乞う祈りである

hikari o sase yo ra houbi no mi to wa
sono hi o kou inori de aru

The light piercing nights, the fruit of their reward is
begging for that day, as a prayer

Rebirth

Requested by my friend Chiss. Special thanks to Tegamin for transcribing the lyrics, and to Maria for sending me the scans.

“The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky,” could this possibly be refering to heaven?

数多に注ぐ 光に洗われた
何かが欠けて 閉じたこの世界で
地平に溶ける 水平のかなたを
誰かがきっと 見ていた

amata ni sosogu hikari ni arawareta
nani ka ga kakete tojita kono sekai de
chihei ni tokeru suihei no kanata wo
dare ka ga kitto miteita

I was washed by the downpour of light
Something’s missing in this closed off world
Someone has certainly been looking beyond the horizon
that melts at ground level

望んだものが 偽りだとしても
時がやがては 真実に変えるなら
意味も理由も 本当はあるのでしょう
だけど見向きもしないでしょう

nozonda mono ga itsuwari da toshite mo
toki ga yagate wa shinjitsu ni kaeru nara
imi mo riyuu mo honto wa aru no deshou
dakedo mi muki mo shinai deshou

Even if what I wished for is nothing but a lie
If in the end time turns into truth
then meaning and reason would really exist, right?
But it’ll be looked right past won’t it?

どこへ どこかへ 流れ流されて行こう
帰り支度のまま 心細い旅路
誰が 誰もが 手を振っては夢のあと
今を確かめるように

doko e doko ka e nagare nagasarete yukou
kaeri jitaku no mama kokorobosoi tabiji
dare ga dare mo ga te wo futte wa yume no ato
ima wo tashikameru you ni

To some place, to somewhere, the stream shall go and be drained
as I’m preparing to return home, it’s a lonely journey
Afterwards, after this dream, everyone will wave their hands
as if checking to make sure that they’re awake

人は楽園と呼ぶ いつか辿り着く場所は
なぜか懐かしい空で
儚げに おぼろげに どうしてそんな不安そうに
覗き込む蓮華鏡

hito wa rakuen to yobu itsuka tadori tsuku basho wa
naze ka natsukashii sora de
hakanage ni oboroge ni doushite sonna fuan sou ni
nozoki komu rengekyou

The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky
Fleetingly and vaguely, why so seeming anxiously
do I peer into the lotus mirror?

色の次には 音までなくなって
寂しさだけが 支配する世界で
明けに照らされ
それでも濁り酒は 月を映した

iro no tsugi ni wa oto made nakunatte
sabishisa dake ga shihai suru sekai de
ake ni terasare
sore demo nigorizake wa tsuki wo utsushita

The spectrum between colour and sound dies out
In a world controlled by loneliness alone
I was shined upon by the dawn
but even so my cloudy sake reflected the moon

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life

近く楽園はもう 永遠じゃないと知り
静かに役を終える
たとえその日が来ても
あなたはあなたのままで 在り続けるのでしょう
故に、永遠の巫女

chikaku rakuen wa mou eien janai to shiri
shizuka ni yaku wo oeru
tatoe sono hi ga kitemo anata wa anata no mama de ari tsuzukeru no deshou
yueni, towa no miko

Knowing that the close by paradise is no longer eternal
and quietly ending your duty
for example even if that day did come
you would continue to remain the same as you are wouldn’t you?
And so, would be an eternal shrine maiden

楽園はまた 生まれ変わろうとしてる
とても懐かしい空へ
陰と陽、夢想、綺想が 終わるじゃなく繋がる
此処が夢、此処が境

rakuen wa mata umare kawarou to shiteru
totemo natsukashii sora e
in to you, musou, kisou ga owaru janaku tsunagaru
koko ga yume, koko ga sakai

Paradise tries to be reborn again
towards a very nostalgic sky
Yin and yang, dreams, and fantastic ideas are connected without an end
Here is a dream, here is a border

楽園はただ 全てを受け入れよう
忘れ去られた 全て
それは東の国の 名前のない御伽噺
遙か遠きに 失はれた幻想
続いてく

rakuen wa tada subete wo uke ireyou
wasure sarareta subete
sore wa higashi no kuni no namae no nai otogibanashi
haruka tooki ni ushinawareta gensou
tsuzuite ku

Paradise shall just accept everything
everything that was forgotten
That’s the nursery rhyme without a name from that eastern country
Far away off in the distance, the fantasies that were lost
continue on

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life
Open up your eyes and you’ll see the truth

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く プログラムへと
仕組まれた「解」は視えずに missing link 幻影のままで━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku puroguramu e to
shikumareta 「kotae」 wa miezu ni missing link maboroshi no mama de

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into a program
Without seeing the planned “solution” the missing link remains an illusion

乾いた大地を撫でる狂気の風 吹き抜けて行く
乱された境界線、マイナスへの符号が重なる

kawaita daichi o naderu kyouki no kaze fuki nukete iku
midasareta kyoukaisen, mainasu e no fugou ga kasanaru

The wind of madness gently brushes across the parched earth, blowing through
The borderline was thrown into disorder, code turns negative and piles up

羅列されたcodeの海に溺れて
logical chart  停まらない衝動、吞み込まれてく

raretsu sareta code no umi ni oborete
logical chart tomaranai shoudou, nomi komareteku

Drowning in the sea of enumerated code
The logical chart, unstopped impulses, are swallowed up

消えゆくmemory.歪んだ視界 映し出す在りし日の残像
寄り添い歩み繋いだ誓い 壊れはじめる
抗う術を無くした腕は遠い過去を仰ぎ
消え行く光、掴めないまま凍り付いて逝く…

kie yuku memory. yuganda shikai utsushi dasu arishi hi no zanzou
yori soi ayumi tsunaida chikai koware hajimeru
aragau sube o nakushita ude wa tooi kako o aogi
kie yuku hikari, tsukamenai mama koori tsuite yuku…

Memory gradually fades. In this distorted field of vision the afterimage of the old days are projected
The sworn oath walks, getting close, and begins to be destroyed
Having lost the means to resist, my arm reaches for the distant past
Unable to grasp the disappearing light, I’ll be frozen…

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く アナグラムへと
刻まれた逃れる事出来ない my fate 繰り返して━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku anaguramu e to
kizamareta nogaretu koto dekinai my fate kuri kaeshite

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into an anagram
I can’t follow the escape plan that was carved, my fate repeats

ノイズと熱に支配された景色に、我は願った。
共に歩んだ人の子等を護る強さを与え給え…
消去されて行く「オモイデ」はゼロになり
やがて、この腕も紅く紅く染まりゆく…

noizu to netsu ni shihai sareta keshiki ni, ware wa negatta.
tomo ni ayunda hito no ko nado o mamoru tsuyosa o atae tamae…
shoukyo sarete yuku 「omoide」 wa zero ni nari
yagate, kono ude mo akaku akaku somari yuku…

Within an environment ruled by noise and fever, I prayed.
Give me the power to protect the children and others I walked together with, please…
My dying out “memories” will turn into zeroes
Soon enough, these arms will also be dyed bloodily…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時 慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
嘆きの雨は紅き涙へ 染まり続ける
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま常闇の中へ…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
nageki no ame wa akaki namida e somari tsudzukeru
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama tokoyami no naka e

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
The rain of grief will keep on being dyed with red tears
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the light, it disappears into endless darkness…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時 慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
斯くも儚き脈打つ鼓動 壊し続ける
『今標されし墓標の影に 望むは黒き血の穏招』
無限の彼方、聞こえる運命 我に降り注ぎ…
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま やがて生まれ変わる
覚醒の閧を上げて 破壊の隷属へと…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
kakumo hanaki myaku utsu kodou kowashi tsudzukeru
『ima shirusareshi bohyou no kage ni nozomu wa kuroki chi no onshou』
mugen no kanata, kikoeru sadame ware ni furi sosogi…
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama yagate umare kawaru
mezame no toki o agete hakai no reizoku e to…

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
My pounding heartbeat is so fleeting, as it continues to destroy
‘Right now in the shadows of the marked gravestones, what I desire are the calm beckons of the black blood’
Beyond infinity, I can hear my destiny, it downpours onto me…
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the disappearing light, before long I’ll start a new life
I’ll raise up my war cry when I awake, towards the underlings of destruction…

 

This song is actually pretty far down the story, it'd probably more sense if I had translated what came previous to it.

This song is actually pretty far down the story, it’d probably more sense if I had translated what came previous to it, so we had some context.

彼と彼女とわたしの話 | kare to kanojo to watashi no hanashi | The Story of Him, Her and Me

Requested by Primity, my first Shibayan song. If anyone was actually watching my twitter, you’d see I had a real fun time with this one. The tune of this song resembled Mario Kart in my opinion.

Notes: “Don’t try dodge around the invisible wall or anything” means “Don’t run away from the issue,” or “Don’t beat around the bush” for other wording, in case it seemed vague. Also, I’d like to imagine the girl waiting on the street is the speaker looking in through the window, at the couple.

If you were to ask about my interpretation of this song, it’s about a woman sitting around telling a story about a girl with a boyfriend (or maybe they were more than that?) in a relationship with no love. She tried to engage him but “He’s inside the fog loitering all alone” indicates that he’s detached. One day, he falls for another woman, and the speaker is like “Oh well, I can still see him anytime,” but she has to witness the couple do lover’s things.  In the end, the woman closes the storybook without finishing, and tells her audiences not to peek until she comes back.

こっち向いてねえ話を聞いて
見えない壁越しにごまかしたりしないで
あちらこちら目移りしてる
キャンディばかり舐めないで

kocchi muite nee hanashi o kiite
mienai kabe goshi ni gomakashitari shinai de
achira kochira meutsuri shiteru
kyandi bakari namenai de

Look over here – hey, listen to my story
Stop acting like you’re behind an invisible wall
Your eyes are darting all over the place
Do something besides just licking your candy

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
待ちわびてる女性
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道

furui aparutoman
atsui yakitate pan
kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
machiwabiteru josei
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
A woman tired of waiting
Beyond the foggy glass
a hazy brick road

甘い言葉胸焼けしそうよ
笑顔も憂鬱も手のひらで転がして
眼鏡の奥 きれいに隠した
ひと匙の嘘はどこ?

amai kotoba muneyake shisou yo
egao mo yuutsu mo te no hira de korogashite
megane no oku kirei ni kakushita
hitosaji no uso wa doko?

Sugar coated words make me feel heartburn
Rolling smiles and gloom around in the palm of your hand
Hidden neatly behind your glasses,
where is that spoonful of lies?

寂しがりなの知ってるのよ
わたしを愛してよ甘えさせてあげるわ
なんて呟いても 彼は霧のなか
ひとりで佇んでいるの

samishigari nano shitteru no yo
watashi o ai shite yo amaesasete ageru wa
nante tsubuyaitemo kare wa kiri no naka
hitori de tatazundeiru no

I know you feel lonely
“Love me, I’ll spoil you”
Whisper such as I may, he’s inside a cloud of fog
standing still all alone

地下鉄乗り継いで
バスは橋を渡る
鳥は餌をつまみ
彼はキスをつまむ
耳をくすぐる指
街は歌うメロディ
tu, tu, lu…

chikatetsu nori tsuide
basu wa hashi o wataru
tori wa esa o tsumami
kare wa kisu o tsumamu
mimi o kusuguru yubi
machi wa utau merodi
tu, tu, lu…

After getting off the subway
his bus crosses a bridge
The birds peck at their feed
He gives a peck on the lips
Fingers tickle the other’s ear
The melody the town sings
tu, tu, lu…

恋の終わりは突然なの
ある晩訪れた坂の上のカフェーで
歌の上手な看板娘
ついに彼は射抜かれた

koi no owari wa totsuzen nano
aru ban otozureta saka no ue no kafee de
uta no jouzu na kanban musume
tsui ni kare wa inukareta

The end of love is a sudden thing
Atop a hill, at a cafe he visited one evening
was their poster girl singing wonderfully
At last, he was love-struck

流れる文字はわたしの恋
掠れたインクから溢れ出していくのよ
神様の決めた終わりでも
いつだって会えるもの

nagareru moji wa watashi no koi
kasureta inku kara afure dashite yuku no yo
kamisama no kimeta owari demo
itsudatte aeru mono

The letters flowing on the page are my love
It’s pouring out from the blurry ink
Even if this ending is part of God’s plan,
I’ll always be able to see him

彼と彼女の甘いキス
見つめるわたし
踊る恋人包みこむ
幸せばかり
祝福の鐘鳴り響く
街の教会
tu, tu, lu…

kare to kanojo no amai kisu
mitsumeru watashi
odoru koibito tsutsumi komu
shiawase bakari
shukufuku no kane nari hibiku
machi no kyoukai
tu, tu, lu…

His and her sweet kiss
and me gazing at them
Encompassing the dancing lovers
is nothing but happiness
The blessed bells chime
in the town’s church
tu, tu, lu…

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
彼女の淹れた珈琲
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道
tu, tu, lu…

kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
kanojo no ireta koohii
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi
tu, tu, lu…

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
Coffee she had brewed
Beyond the foggy glass
a smoky brick road
tu, tu, lu…

皮の表紙閉じて
明日は別の街へ
フィナーレは見ないで
部屋の隅へ隠す
時を止めて眠る
恋人のアムール
薔薇の栞あげる
戻るまで待ってて

kawa no hyoushi tojite
asu wa betsu no machi e
finaare wa minai de
heya no sumi e kakusu
toki o tomete nemuru
koibito no amuuru
bara no shiori ageru
modoru made mattete

Closing the leather cover,
tomorrow I’m off to another town
Don’t look at the finale
I’ll hide it in the corner of the room
Time stops as I sleep
The lover’s amour
I’ll give you a rose bookmark
Keep waiting until I return
