Horizon

I’m going to take this time to give some special thanks to Mai for giving me the scans of the Blooming Daydream booklet! I’ll be translating more from this album soon, probably after I’m done with Mother Nature and ZEphyr from Zytokine.

Seasons are changing. The winds are giving away.
Deep in my heart, I can feel there’s something great.

When the sky turns to night, I just wanna give into you.
I can’t set it aside and I keep thinking about the truth.

This city’s skyline could perfectly highlight the night.
The moonlight showing the way to my heart.
A breeze that carries the blossoms among all the stars.
Thought I may try, I can’t give them any names. And I…

…Know that time can be unkind.
Cause when I hold on back, I run away by lying.
Why can’t I face all the sudden feelings I hold?

Eating me from deep inside.
When I think I’m into you, I keep denying
Loving you unlike no other.

Every time, I wake up and I see this clear blue sky,
I envy the birds as they lift, enjoying life.

But the choice still remains if I’ll act or should never try
Making up all the reasons to reach the distant skies.

The falling rain leaves its mark on the darkening ground.
And though I seem to be sure in the day…
Under this simple facade that I’ve kept for a while,
It fades away when our eyes meet time and time again.

When will I try to survive?
Every time I move, I start to lose my courage.
Barries keep what I cannot handle outside.

Understand and make demands.
I shouldn’t give it up before I start on trying.
Picking up the scattered fragments.

Seasons are changing. The winds are giving away.
Deep in my heart, I can feel there’s something great.

When the sky turns to night, I just wanna give into you.
I can’t set it aside and I keep thinking about the truth.

Though I’m afraid, I have lost the fear inside.
Naming these feelings has given me new life.

Once it’s been said, I think I might leave all my doubts behind.
Giving me strength and courage to leap on into the night.

Dream in a dream

We jazz now.

I can’t help but feel bad about just directly taking English lyrics from the Touhou Wiki like this though, so more props to Tegamin for everything as usual!

Life is a dream
Love is a dream
It has told me all the thing must pass

I’m gonna dream
You’re gonna dream
We will repeat over time and time again

Kissing a dream
Missing a dream
I shed a tear in the twilight dark

Beautiful dream
Direful dream
It’s like a kaleidocope, I’m within it

Never ask me the why
I cannot see at all
Where is my paradise?
Is it in my insanity?
I lose my awareness

I dream in a doze sweetly
Now everything just melts in my mind
No border of real, some fictional thing
Round about, coming and going away
I wake in a doze thickly
So everything is a fantasy
Hazy, it’s amazing that I dream in a dream

Never ask me the why
I cannot see at all
Where is my paradise?
Is it in my insanity?
I lose my awareness
I dream in a doze sweetly
Now everything just melts in my mind
No border of real, some fictional thing
Round about, coming and going away
I wake in a doze thickly
So everything is a fantasy
Hazy, it’s amazing that I dream in a dream
Glazy, It’s amazing that I dream in a dream

Stranger in the dusk

Big thanks to Tegamin for the Mother Nature scans, I’ve been searching every day for these. Of course, this had to be the first song I worked on. Next one might be DEATHANDREBIRTH or BOUNCE OF LIFE, I’m not really all too sure yet.

Notes: The words in (brackets) aren’t included in the booklet, and I had an especially tough time deciphering what certain words could be in the 4th stanza down there, if anyone has other suggestions.

現実から 現実への
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
心地の良い 未来の歌
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

genjitsu kara genjitsu e no
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
kokochi no yoi mirai no uta
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

From reality, towards reality
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
A pleasant song of the future
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

手のひらに 落ちた 希望 夢 祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira ni ochita kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dropped into the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

会いたいから 会えないから
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
星はいない 輝かない
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

aitai kara aenai kara
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
hoshi wa inai kagayakanai
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

Because I want to see you, because I can’t see you
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
The stars are all gone, they no longer shine
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

手のひらで 踊る 希望 夢 祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira de odoru kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dancing in the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are crying together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are crying together like stranger in the white
We all are crying together like stranger in the black
We all are crying together like stranger in the dusk

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

omoide no kakera

I’ve been having a lot of trouble coming up with comments on songs lately, haven’t I? I don’t really have too much to say on this one either, except that it may be my least favourite track from the album. Oh yeah, the title means “Fragments of Memories” by the way. 思い出のかけら。

また新しい春が来て
でも 風 まだ 冷たくて

mata atarashii haru ga kite
demo kaze mada tsumetakute

Again, another new spring comes
but still the wind remains freezing

広がる未来
君と僕で 紡いでく 想い出

hirogaru mirai
kimi to boku de tsumuide ku omoide

The future expands
Together, you and me, we’ll weave memories

手をつないで 明日へ祈ったら
この世界の かけらを集めていこう
君となら 歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days

まだ咲かない花だけを
まだやまない雨だけを

mada sakanai hana dake o
mada yamanai ame dake o

It’s just the flower that still hasn’t bloomed
It’s just the rain that still hasn’t stopped

集めていたい
新しい時代の始まる 瞬間を

atsumeteitai
atarashii jidai no hajimaru shunkan o

that I want to gather up
during the moment this new era begins

手をつないで 未来へ願ったら
新しい かけらが降り注ぐ
夜空さえ 照らしていけるはずさ
前を向いて あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide mirai e negattara
atarashii kakera ga furi sosogu
yozora sae terashite ikeru hazu sa
mae o muite ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and wish towards the future
brand new fragments will downpour and rain
Even the night sky should be easy to light up
We’ll look forward and say goodbye to those old days

希望なんて無くても
僕らはまだ生きてる

kibou nante nakutemo
bokura wa mada ikiteru

Even if we lose things like our hope
you and I both will still live on

あの笑顔 もう一度

ano egao mou ichido

Show me that smile, just one more time

手をつないで 明日へ祈ったら
この世界の かけらを集めていこう
君となら 歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days
