Dancing Dollz

Dancing under stars.. I get a vision of witches. One of my friends suggested I make a twitter the other day, I’m curious if I should.

Notes: This seems to be a fairly supernatural song, so I kept 「幻」 as phantom. 「始める」 which precedes it is a transitive verb as well, and I don’t think visions or illusions can actually do things like heal hearts, so phantom seems the most fitting.. Then again, I don’t know if phantoms can heal hearts either. Aw well, either way it doesn’t impact the translation. The little bits of english at the beginning and around the middle and end I wrote down by ear, so they may not be 100% accurate.

誰かが 信じてる 常識を 塗りかえて
踊る心に視え始める 幻
星を頼りに 進んではみるけれど
もし迷ってしまったら 月を探すよ

dare ka ga shinjiteru joushiki o nuri kaete
odoru kokoro ni mie hajimeru maboroshi
hoshi o tayori ni susunde wa miru keredo
moshi mayotte shimattara tsuki o sagasu yo

Reshaping the common sense that others believe in
our dancing hearts begin to see the unreal

We’ll try to move forward using the stars as a guide
but if we end up getting lost, we’ll look for the moon

僕らは独りで
踊り続けてる

bokura wa hitori de
odori tsudzuketeru

We continue to
dance on all alone

歌う事を忘れて 空を見上げてくるくる踊る
この手で掴めない
視えない物でも “存在”のかな
君が望めば 手に入れられるはずなのに なぜ
哀しく 微笑んで 新しい世界へと 消えた

utau koto o wasurete sora o mi agete kurukuru odoru
kono te de tsukamenai
mienai mono demo “aru” no kana
kimi ga nozomeba te ni irerareru hazu nanoni naze
kanashiku hohoende atarashii sekai e to kieta

Forgetting to sing, we look to the sky and dance round and round
Do things you can’t see
or touch really exist?
If you so desired, you could get your hands on them
So why, despite that, did you disappear to a new world with a sad smile on your face?

僕らが 信じてる 常識の裏側に
痛む心が癒えはじめる 幻
星を頼りに 走ってはみるけれど
もしつまづいてしまったら 君を探すよ

bokura ga shinjiteru joushiki no uragawa ni
itamu kokoro ga ie hajimeru maboroshi
hoshi o tayori ni hashitte wa miru keredo
moshi tsumadzuite shimattara kimi o sagasu yo

Behind the common sense that we believe in
the illusions begin to heal my hurting heart
I’ll try to run using the stars as a guide,
but if I ended up stumbling and tripping up, I’ll look for you

僕らは独りで
踊り続けてる

bokura wa hitori de
odori tsudzuketeru

We continue to
dance on all alone

歌う事を忘れて 星を探してくるくる踊る
この眼に映せない
視えない物でも “存在”のかな
季節は巡り 何か 失うはずなのに なぜ
優しく 微笑んで 桜舞う世界へと 消えた

utau koto o wasurete hoshi o sagashite kurukuru odoru
kono me ni utsusenai
mienai mono demo “aru” no kana
kisetsu wa meguri nani ka ushinau hazu nanoni naze
yasashiku hohoende sakura mau sekai e to kieta

Forgetting to sing, we search for the stars and dance round and round
It can’t be reflected in my eyes
Do things you can’t see really exist?
As the seasons cycle I should lose something, but despite this why,
smiling kindly, did you disappear off to a world of fluttering cherry blossoms?

We are dancing under stars, we are still the dancing dolls
and I don’t know why they are disguised, we are still the dancing dolls

歌う事を忘れて それでも君はくるくる踊る
教えてくれていた
視えない物でも “存在”のだと
僕ら望めば 手に入れられるはずなのに なぜ
踊り続けてる
変わる世界はそばに”存在”のに

utau koto o wasurete sore demo kimi wa kurukuru odoru
oshiete kureteita
mienai mono demo “aru” no da to
bokura nozomeba te ni irerareru hazu nanoni naze
odori tsudzuketeru
kawaru sekai wa soba ni “aru” noni

Even though you forget about singing you dance round and round
You had taught me that
even things that you can’t see exist
If we were to make a wish, it should come true, but despite this why
do we continue to dance?
Despite a changing world being right beside us

We are dancing under stars, we are still the dancing dolls
and I don’t know why they are disguised, we are still the dancing dolls

 

I really like this album art, the way Renko and Maribel are in this gives me the picture of two girls chasing after their dreams

2 keys -Rock ReArrange ver.

I’m somewhat confused as to what’s going on exactly in this song. It sounds to me like a girl made a mistake and thought she ruined a relationship, but then found out that it was all a misunderstanding after it was too late, which ended up hurting him too. This rearrange contains a nostalgic teenage romance feel if you ask me,  from the way the guitar is played, the drums are drummed, etc.

それは 輝く意味を 失って
信じてた心 失って
だから 涙 まだここにあって
描いてる あの日への reason

sore wa kagayaku imi o ushinatte
shinjiteta kokoro ushinatte
dakara namida mada koko ni atte
egaiteru ano hi e no reason

It lost its meaning to shine
I lost the heart that I believed in
That’s why the tears are still here
The reason to that day I’m picturing

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

足跡も 残さず 溶けて消えてしまいたい
光の 先には 何もないのに

ashiato mo nokosazu tokete kiete shimaitai
hikari no saki ni wa nani mo nai noni

I want to vanish, to melt without leaving even a trace
despite there being nothing beyond the light

望んだはずの未来 儚い夢
届かなかった声 露と消えて
君に繋がる全てに 鍵をかけたい
君と二人だけで 開けるために

nozonda hazu no mirai hakanai yume
todokanakatta koe tsuyu to kiete
kimi ni tsunagaru subete ni kagi o kaketai
kimi to futari dake de akeru tame ni

The future I expected to see was just a fleeting dream
My unheard voice vanishes with morning dew
I want to lock up everything tied between us
so that we can open it up together, just us alone

それは 重なる意味を 失って
守るべき物も 失って
だけど 僕らまたすれ違って
探してる あの日への reason

sore wa kasanaru imi o ushinatte
mamoru beki mono mo ushinatte
dakedo bokura mata surechigatte
sagashiteru ano hi e no reason

It lost the overlapping meanings
I lost what I should have protected
but we still pass by each other
searching for the reason to that day

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

君の手を 汚さず 全て消してしまいたい
螺旋に 絡まる 君の言葉が

kimi no te o yogosazu subete keshite shimaitai
rasen ni karamaru kimi no kotoba ga

I want to erase everything without staining your hands
Your words are entwined in a spiral

失うはずの世界 儚い夢
届けたかった声 露と消えて
大事なもの全てに 鍵をかけたら
何かが崩れて行く音がして

ushinau hazu no sekai hakanai yume
todoketakatta koe tsuyu to kiete
daiji na mono subete ni kagi o kaketara
nani ka ga kuzurete yuku oto ga shite

The world I should have parted with was but a fleeting dream
My voice I wanted to send out vanishes with morning dew
If I lock up everything important
there’ll be sound saying that something is going to collapse

それは 本当の意味を 欲しがって
帰るべき場所も 失って
なのに 僕らまたすれ違って
笑ってる あの日への reason

sore wa honto no imi o hoshi gatte
kaeru beki basho mo ushinatte
nanoni bokura mata surechigatte
waratteru ano hi e no reason

You wanted to the real meaning behind it
we also lost the place that we should have came home to
and yet we still pass by each other
laughing at the reason to that day

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
震えた指先 僕らのkey
凍り付いた 確かな two keys

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
furueta yubisaki bokura no key
koori tsuita tashika na two keys

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
My fingertips trembled holding our key
I was frozen seeing it was definitely two keys

それは
君の笑顔にも変わって
君の涙にも重なって
一人でも鍵を開けたくて
悲しい嘘を 重ねていた

sore wa
kimi no egao ni mo kawatte
kimi no namida ni mo kasanatte
hitori demo kagi o aketakute
kanashii uso o kasaneteita

It also
transformed into your smile
added to all your tears
Even alone I want to open the lock
I had added in some sad lies

歪んで 滲んで 切り裂いて
壊して 拾って また泣いて
君とじゃなきゃ 開けられないよ
二人で一つの just one key

hizunde nijinde kiri saite
kowashite hirotte mata naite
kimi to janakya akerarenai yo
futari de hitotsu no just one key

I bent, spread and tore it to shreds
Destroyed it then gathered it and cried again
I can’t open it if I’m not with you
together it’s single, just one key

Ancient Princess

Requested by Kii, it’s easy to see how similar the style is to convalla prison. I wonder if all of Oosera’s songs are like this.

Note: 申子 literally means “heaven-sent child,” but I figured translating that as “saint” was more fitting. I guess the speaker here is the “crane of love” called upon to love this fallen angel, but it seems they don’t have much time together, which would explain why the speaker wishes to “destroy the key” and trap her. This might be a bit of an obvious observation, but it seems the princess was the one who called upon the speaker here in her sleep.

神様より堕とされし申子 愚かな罪背負う少女
甘美な声の裏何想う 悪魔の顔持つ天使よ
気付くかしら愛の契約書
誘われ欲望を盗むの?
願うのなら鍵を壊して 籠に囚われし蒼い鳥

kami yori otosareshi moushigo oroka na tsumi seou shoujo
kanbi na koe no ura nani omou akuma no kao motsu tenshi yo
kidzuku kashira ai no contract
izanaware yoku o nusumu no?
negau no nara kagi o kowashite kago ni torawareshi aoi tori

The saint that fell from the grace of God, a foolish sin bearing girl
What is she thinking behind her sweet voice? That angel wearing the face of a devil
I wonder if she’s noticed the contract of love
Have I been called to steal her lust?
If I were to wish, it’d be to destroy the key and trap the young bird in its cage

囁いて命より重い愛を
目醒めさせてそう唇で

sasayaite inochi yori omoi ai o
me samesasete sou kuchibiru de

I’ll whisper to you a love heavier than life
I’ll make you wake up, yes, with my lips

薔薇が咲き誇る遺跡に 孤独埋め眠りにつくの
見上げる月は涙の味 深淵の前迎えに来て?

bara ga saki hokoru iseki ni kodoku ume nemuri ni tsuku no
mi ageru tsuki wa namida no aji shinen no mae mukae ni kite?

The roses bloom fully in the ancient ruins, do you fall asleep to fill the solitude?
The moon up above gives a taste of tears, will you come to greet me before this abyss?

抱き締めて宝石より硬い意志で
羽搏かせてその翼で

daki shimete daiya yori katai ishi de
habatakasete sono tsubasa de

I’ll hug you with determination stronger than diamonds
I’ll make you flap those wings of yours

触れずに胸の奥底
射抜いてね薔薇の棘が貴女を刺してしまう
夢幻に愛のツル溶け絡ませて幸せ無限に味わいましょ

furezu ni mune no oku
inuite ne bara no doke ga anata o sashite shamau
mugen ni ai no tsuru toke karamasete shiawase mugen ni ajiwaimasho

Without touching you the depths of your heart
is shot through, the rose’s thorns end up piercing right through you
Entwine with the crane of love and melt into a dream, let’s forever savour the taste of happiness

神様より堕とされし申子
真なる勝利掴む少女
願うのなら愛を誓って
信じない…でも信じたいの

kami yori otosareshi moushigo
shin naru shouri tsukamu shoujo
negau no nara ai o chikatte
shinjinai… demo shinjitai no

The saint that fell from the grace of God
the girl catches a victory that turns out true
If I were to wish it’d be to take an oath of love
I don’t have faith… but I want to believe

埋めさせて密より甘い愛を
穢れの無いこの瞳で

umesasete mitsu yori amai ai o
kegare no nai kono hitomi de

I’ll fill you up with love sweeter than secrecy
with these eyes that contain no impurity

触れずに胸の奥底
射抜いてね薔薇の棘が貴女を刺してしまう
夢幻に愛のツル溶け絡ませて幸せ無限に味わいましょ

furezu ni mune no oku
inuite ne bara no doke ga anata o sashite shamau
mugen ni ai no tsuru toke karamasete shiawase mugen ni ajiwaimasho

 

Without touching you the depths of your heart
is shot through, the rose’s thorns end up piercing right through you
Entwine with the crane of love and melt into a dream, let’s forever savour the taste of happiness

螺旋の階段駆ける古の遺跡では
一人孤独な姫が愛を求めてた
愛を教えて…今の一時で構わない
その為導くから溢れる幸せ

rasen no kaidan kakeru inishie no iseki de wa
hitori kodoku na hime ga ai o motometeta
ai o oshiete… ima no hitotoki de kamawanai
sono tame michibiku kara afureru shiawase

Running up the spiral stairway of the ancient ruins in which
the one lonely princess had wished for love
I’ll show her true love… It doesn’t matter that we have little time
For that reason I’ll show her the way to overflowing happiness

doom and gloom

Requested by Primity, lets see: Having to repeat a fate over and over, despite knowing it’ll end badly? I’m somewhat reminded of Homura.

Notes: I felt somewhat unsatisfied with my translation here, as you might have noticed from my many edits since I posted. The song seems more clear in the second half, but it woulda been really nice to have some pre-established context to work from this time around. It seems that here, the singer has an opposing force. The singer wants the opposing force to give up her evil ways, as evidenced by “Your eyes, body, and heart burn red | Release it into this blue sky.” Maybe it’s a friend, and that’s who the speaker is fighting to save. This song was somewhat tough, I had to rely a lot on the “this”s and “that”s for perspective, who the speech was aimed at here, which can be pretty vague at times. After relistening countless times, I think I’ve got it down though.

そっと始まった物語は
何度もわたしを操っていた

sotto hajimatta monogatari wa
nando mo watashi o ayatsutteita

The story that started so gently
has manipulated me many times

その度祈った
この世界はきっと
悲しみに溢れ 泣いているから

sono tabi inotta
kono sekai wa kitto
kanashimi ni afure naiteiru kara

Each time I prayed
was because this world was surely
crying, overflowed with sadness

また繰り返すのだろう 人のあやまちを
その運命を辿るように
たった一つの願いも このカラダのように
灰となって 消えてしまうだけ

mata kuri kaesu no darou hito no ayamachi o
sono unmei o tadoru you ni
tatta hitotsu no negai mo kono karada no you ni
hai to natte kiete shimau dake

I’ll have to repeat the mistakes of mankind again won’t I?
In order to follow that fate

Even my single desire, just like this body,
will just turn to ash and disappear

その声はいつも 聞こえていた
わたしの行くべき道を告げた

sono koe wa itsumo kikoeteita
watashi no yuku beki michi o tsugeta

I could always hear that voice
it told me which path I should take

その度叫んだ
この手を振り上げ
“今度こそは”強く 願いながら

sono tabi sakenda
kono te o furi age
“kondo koso wa” tsuyoku negai nagara

Each time I shouted out
I raised my hands up high
while wishing strongly “This time, I’ll definitely…”

この悲しみの果てに 何が見えるだろう
小さな声で呟いても
また同じ結末が 待っているのなら
この運命は 何故繰り返すのか

kono kanashimi no hate ni nani ga mieru darou
chiisa na koe de tsubuyaitemo
mata onaji ketsumatsu ga matteiru no nara
kono unmei wa naze kurikaesu no ka

At the edge of this sorrow, what do you think I’ll see?
Even though I mutter with a small voice
If the same ending really is waiting for me again
why is this fate repeating?

もう何度目だろう この階段
昇りきれば また終わるだけだ
最期をわかっているのに ただ
この身はどうして動くの?

mou nandome darou kono kaidan
nobori kireba mata owaru dake da
saigo o wakatteiru noni tada
kono mi wa doushite ugoku no?

How many times has it been already?
If I scale these stairs it’ll just end again
I understand my final moments so why
does my body keep on moving?

赤く燃える その瞳を 躰を 心を
この青空に解き放って
またわたしは始める 同じ運命を
変わることない結末でも
気高い思いだけは 失くさないままで
何度でも 手を振り上げるのだろう

akaku moeru sono me o karada o kokoro o
kono aozora ni toki hanatte
mata watashi wa hajimeru onaji unmei o
kawaru koto nai ketsumatsu demo
kedakai omoi dake wa nakusanai mama de
nando demo te o furi ageru no darou

Your eyes, body, and heart burn red
Release it into this blue sky
Once again I start the same old fate
Even though the ending won’t change
the one thing I won’t lose are my high hopes
no matter how many times it takes I’ll raise my arms up high
