Alice Maestera

Haruka will always be the master of emo lyrics and nobody can tell me otherwise, they’re a guilty pleasure of mine. Kafka probably already has this song translated, like with 99% of Alst songs, but I decided to give this a go just because of the Amateras x Alstroemeria remix album.

夢は全て光失うの? 想いいつか君と重なるの?
1人歩き続けてる今でも 君の笑顔それはひと時の
心揺れる事を隠してる いつか別の道歩む

yume wa subete hikari ushinau no? omoi itsu ka kimi to kasanaru no?
hitori aruki tsudzuketeru ima demo kimi no egao sore wa hitotoki no
kokoro yureru koto o kakushiteru itsu ka betsu no michi ayumu

Will my dreams lose all their light? Will my feelings someday overlap with you?
Alone I continue walking on, even now your smile is momentary
Hiding my heart’s tremors, someday we’ll walk different paths

「貴方は1人じゃないよ」
笑顔で言った言葉が胸にある
私は1人じゃないの?孤独を恐れる運命を見てた

「anata wa hitori janai yo」
egao de itta kotoba ga mune ni aru
watashi wa hitori janai no? kodoku o osoreru sadame o miteta

“You’re not alone”
Those words said with a smile reside in my heart
Am I really not alone? I’ve stared down a fate filled with being scared of solitude

ああ君のそばで ああ夢を見てた
ああでも見えるの別々の道

aa kimi no soba de aa yume o miteta
aa demo mieru no betsubetsu no michi

Ah, by your side, ah, I had seen dreams
Ah, but I can see we have separate paths

時はいつか人を変えてゆく
想い告げる事も許されず
いつも彷徨い続ける?
このまま憂い残す季節そのままで
なにを伝え続け見つめるの?
私取り残されてく

toki wa itsu ka hito o kaete yuku
omoi tsugeru koto mo yurusarezu
itsu mo samayoi tsudzukeru?
kono mama urei nokosu kisetsu sono mama de
nani o tsutae tsudzuke mitsumeru no?
watashi tori nokosarete ku

Time eventually changes people
not permissing the conveyage of feelings either
Will I always continue to wander?
With seasons as they are leaving behind grief like this
what will I see myself continuing to say?
I’m going to be left behind

「貴方は1人じゃないよ」
その言葉の意味今ならわかる
私は1人じゃないと 自分を操る運命を見つめ

「anata wa hitori janai yo」
sono kotoba no imi ima nara wakaru
watashi wa hitori janai to jibun o ayatsuru sadame o mitsume

“You’re not alone”
I now understand the meaning of those words
If I’m not alone, I’ll stare down a fate in which I puppeteer myself

ああ夢の中で ああ夢を見てた
ああ今わかるの2人の気持ち

aa yume no naka de aa yume o miteta
aa ima wakaru no futari no kimochi

Ah, in the dream, ah, I had been dreaming
Ah, I now understand, both of our feelings

季節流れ私歩みだす 想い胸に秘めていつまでも
きっとそれぞれの道を これから 今はわかる強い意志を持つ
君と私別の道を行く 心交差したままで

kisetsu nagare watashi ayumi dasu omoi mune ni himete itsu made mo
kitto sorezore no michi o kore kare ima wa wakaru tsuyoi ishi o motsu
kimi to watashi betsu no michi o yuku kokoro kousa shita mama de

Seasons flow and I walk forth, I‘ll hide my feelings in my chest forever
Surely now, from now on, I’ll have a strong will with which to understand each of our paths
You and me will part ways, as our hearts are crossed

夢は全て光与えるの 想いいつも ここに変わらずに
1人歩き続けてる今でも 残る笑顔それはひと時の
心揺れる事を隠してる いつか別の道歩む

yume wa subete hikari ataeru no omoi itsu mo koko ni kawarazu ni
hitori ayuki tsudzuketeru ima demo nokoro egao sore wa hitotoki no
kokoro yureru koto o kakushiteru itsu ka betsu no michi ayumu

Dreams give all light, my feelings will always be here the same
Alone I continue walking on, even now the remaining smiles are momentary
Hiding my heart’s tremors, someday we’ll walk different paths

無邪気に笑った日々はもう
二度と来ないまま
誰も知らない この場所で
君を探してる

mujaki ni waratta hibi wa mou
nido to konai mama
dare mo shiranai kono basho de
kimi o sagashiteru

The days when I smiled without a single bad thought
will never come again
In this place that nobody knows
I’m searching for you

この空は 何処までも続くの
思い出に変わるまで
信じることが大事だと
言い聞かせ歩き出す

kono sora wa doko made mo tsudzuku no
omoide ni kawaru made
shinjiru koto ga daiji da to
ii kikase aruki dasu

This sky expands as far the eye can see
Until becoming a memory
I walk forth and say that
believing is important

舞い降りた幻想に 浮かぶ奇跡は一度きりで
指切りしよう 忘れない 君と交わした約束を

mai orita gensou ni ukabu kiseki wa ichido kiri de
yubikiri shiyou wasurenai kimi to kawashita yakusoku o

The floating miracle in the fantasy that swept down is a one time thing
Let’s pinky promise, I will never forget the promise I exchanged with you

知らない世界を受け入れて
変わる 少しづつ
此処で私が出来る事
意味を見つけよう

shiranai sekai o uke irete
kawaru sukoshi zutsu
koko de watashi ga dekiru koto
imi o mitsukeyou

Accepting this unknown world
little by little I change
Let’s discover the meaning
of what I can do here

星々が連鎖して弾けた
煌きは終わらない
信じることで見えてくる
幻想を抱き締めて

hoshiboshi ga rensa shite hajiketa
kirameki wa owaranai
shinjiru koto de miete kuru
gensou o daki shimete

The stars chain and bursted open
The sparkles don’t end
I embrace the fantasy that I have
come to see through faith

願い事一つだけ 君に伝えてみたかったよ
そんな奇跡は 夢でいい 今は笑っていたいのに

negaigoto hitotsu dake kimi ni tsutaete mitakatta yo
sonna kiseki wa yume de ii ima wa waratteitai noni

I only have a single wish, I wanted to try telling it to you
It’s fine if that miracle is a dream, I just want to stay smiling now though

君と見ていた あの空は今も変わらない気がしてた
変わる世界と変わらない想い いつか又会えるよ

kimi to miteita ano sora wa ima mo kawaranai ki ga shiteta
kawaru sekai to kawaranai omoi itsu ka mata aeru yo

I got the feeling that the sky I saw with you hasn’t changed even now
The changing world and unchanging feelings, we’ll be able to meet again someday

舞い降りた幻想に 浮かぶ奇跡受け入れることで
信じることができたから 君と交わした約束を

mai orita gensou ni ukabu kiseki uke ireru koto de
shinjiru koto ga dekita kara kimi to kawashita yakusoku o

By accepting the floating miracle in the fantasy that swept down
I managed to have faith after all, in the promise I exchanged with you

僕の中の 影が いつの間にか 消えて
影の中の 僕が 騒ぎ始めたみたい

boku no naka no kage ga itsu no ma ni ka kiete
kage no naka no boku ga sawagi hajimeta mitai

The shadows inside me disappeared before I knew it and
the me inside the shadows began to make noise it seems

(黒いほどに包まれて)
痛みも すでに忘れている
(黒いほどに包まれて)
感覚 その先の闇

(kuroi hodo ni tsutsumarete)
itami mo sude ni wasureteiru
(kuroi hodo ni tsutsumarete)
kankaku sono saki no yami

(Wrapped up to the point of being black)
I’ve already forgotten the pain
(Wrapped up to the point of being black)
That darkness beyond intuition

忘れたくはないけど 忘れても 痛くない
壊したくはないけど 幻だから 愛せない
独り泣いた夜でも 壊れそうな心も
慰めてくれたけど 幻だから愛せない

wasuretaku wa nai kedo wasuretemo itakunai
kowashitaku wa nai kedo maboroshi dakara aisenai
hitori naita yoru demo kowaresou na kokoro mo
nagusamete kureta kedo maboroshi dakara aisenai

I don’t want to forget although, if I do forget, it won’t hurt
I don’t want to destroy although, I’m a phantom so I can’t love
Even during nights where I cried alone, you comforted my heart
that I felt would break, but I’m a phantom so I can’t love

壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと上手に
傷ついてもいいけど 幻だから愛せない
壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと上手に
この夢が醒める頃
さよなら もう一度 巡り会える

kowashitaku wa nai kedo kowashite motto jouzu ni
kizutsuitemo ii kedo maboroshi dakara aisenai
kowashitaku wa nai kedo kowashite motto jouzu ni
kono yume ga sameru koro
sayonara mou ichido meguri aeru

I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy even better
It’s alright if I’m hurt although, I’m a phantom so I can’t love
I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy even better
When I wake up from this dream
good bye, one more time, may we meet again

僕の中の 僕が いつの間にか 消えて
僕の中の 影が 騒ぎ始めたみたい

boku no naka no boku ga itsu no ma ni ka kiete
boku no naka no kage ga sawagi hajimeta mitai

The me inside of me disappeared before I knew it and
the shadows inside me began to make noise it seems

(黒いほどに包まれて)
涙も すでに枯れ果ててる
(黒いほどに包まれて)
失望 その果ての愛

(kuroi hodo ni tsutsumarete)
namida mo sude ni kare hateteru
(kuroi hodo ni tsutsumarete)
shitsubou sono hate no ai

(Wrapped up to the point of being black)
My tears have already dried up
(Wrapped up to the point of being black)
That love at the end of disappointment

信じたくはないけど 信じさせてください
愛したくはないけど 幻だから 壊せない
触れたかったその手も 見せたかった笑顔も
何もかもがわからない 幻だから壊せない

shinjitaku wa nai kedo shinjisasete kudasai
aishitaku wa nai kedo maboroshi dakara kowasenai
furetakatta sono te mo misetakatta egao mo
nani mo kamo ga wakaranai maboroshi dakara kowasenai

I don’t want to belive although, please let me believe
I don’t want to love although, I’m a phantom so I can’t destroy
The hand I wanted to touch and the smile I wanted to show as well
I don’t understand a single thing, I’m a phantom so I can’t destroy

壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと自由に
傷つけてもいいけど 幻だから愛せない
壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと自由に
この夢が終わる頃
さよなら もう一度 笑い合える

kowashitaku wa nai kedo kowashite motto jiyuu ni
kizutsuketemo ii kedo maboroshi dakara aisenai
kowashitaku wa nai kedo kowashite motto jiyuu ni
kono yume ga owaru koro
sayonara mou ichido warai aeru

I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy more freely
It’s alright if I hurt although, I’m a phantom so I can’t love
I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy more freely
When this dream ends
good bye, one more time, may we smile at each other

君が奏でるそのメロディー
心狂わすレクイエム

kimi ga kanaderu sono merodii
kokoro kuwasu rekuiemu

That melody that you play
That requiem that drives hearts wild

忘れたくはないけど 忘れても 痛くない
壊したくはないけど 幻だから 愛せない
独り泣いた夜でも 壊れそうな心も
慰めてくれたけど 幻だから愛せない

wasuretaku wa nai kedo wasuretemo itakunai
kowashitaku wa nai kedo maboroshi dakara aisenai
hitori naita yoru demo kowaresou na kokoro mo

I don’t want to forget although, if I do forget, it won’t hurt
I don’t want to destroy although, I’m a phantom so I can’t love
Even during nights where I cried alone, you comforted my heart
that I felt would break, but I’m a phantom so I can’t love

壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと上手に
傷ついてもいいけど 幻だから愛せない
壊したくはないけど 壊してもっと上手に
この夢が醒める頃
さよなら もう一度 巡り会える

kowashitaku wa nai kedo kowashite motto jouzu ni

kono yume ga sameru koro
sayonara mou ichido meguri aeru

I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy even better
It’s alright if I’m hurt although, I’m a phantom so I can’t love
I don’t want to destroy although, I’ll destroy even better

good bye, one more time, may we meet again

I.N.F.E.R.N.O

Definitely the hardest song of this album so far, phew. If this is coming from Yamada’s point of view, then man, this song really makes her seem heartless.

呼び声 遠く 終わりの果てまで
何か求めて 辿り着いた この世界は
罪の証 揺れる 地獄

yobigoe tooku owari no hate made
nani ka motomete tadori tsuita kono sekai wa
tsumi no akashi yureru inferno

The calling voices are distant, as far as the end of the end
This world reached by seeking something
is proof of sin, a swaying inferno

崩れ始めてる この色
命 揺れて 凍る 罪と罰への 愛を
ひとつ ひとつ 懐かしんで
終わっていく 世界 導かれる 炎へ

kuzure hajimeteru kono iro
inochi yurete kooru tsumi to batsu e no ai o
hitotsu hitotsu natsukashinde
owatte yuku sekai michibikareru honoo e

These colours are beginning to crumble
being reminiscent, one by one, of a love for
sin and punishment where life sways and freezes
In this ending world, you’ll be guided towards the flames

焼かれる魂 落ちる不浄の涙
まだ 消えない傷跡 審判の刃
終わる事は許されず 正しい嘘に 焼かれ続けて

yakareru tamashii ochiru fujou no namida
mada kienai kizuato shinpan no yaiba
owaru koto wa yurusarezu tadashii uso ni yakare tsudzukete

The souls are burnt and impure tears fall
Scars caused by the blade of judgement still don’t fade
An end is not permitted, continue to be burnt in your justful lies

深い愛が 罪ならば まだ 諦められた気がした
汚れきっているなら 呼んで その地獄
焼かれて 砕かれても まだ 許されないこの罪を
抱えて さまよう世界 迷い続けたその先に

fukai ai ga tsumi naraba mada akiramerareta ki ga shita
yogore kitteiru nara yonde sono inferno
yakarete kudakaretemo mada yurusarenai kono tsumi o
kakaete samayou sekai mayoi tsudzuketa sono saki ni

Assuming deep love is a sin, I still had the feeling it was given up on
If you’re all dirtied up, call out for the inferno
Even if you’re burned and crushed, you’ll still bear this unforgivable sin
In this world of wandering, after you’ve continued to be lost

優しい終わり 心安らぐ終わり
そんなものは もう無いってさ 教えてよ その手で

yasashii owari kokoro yasuragu owari
sonna mono wa mou nai tte sa oshiete yo sono te de

there’ll be a gentle ending, a heart warming ending
No, there’s nothing like that anymore, come on and show me with your own hands

恐れ始めてる その傷
命 触れて 狂う 罪と罰への 愛を
ひとつ ふたつ 数えた希望
砕いていく 世界 なにもかもが 炎へ

osore hajimeteru sono kizu
inochi furete kuruu tsumi to batsu e no ai o
hitotsu futatsu kazoeta kibou
kudaite yuku sekai nani mo kamo ga honoo e

They’re beginning to fear their wounds
One, two, I had hopes to count the love for
sin and punishment where life is touched and goes mad
In this crushing world, everything leads to flames

焼かれるこの眼に 浮かぶ不条理の色
まだ 癒えない傷跡 審判の刃
許す事は許されず 眩しい嘘に 焼かれ続けて

yakareru kono me ni ukabu fujouri no iro
mada ienai kizuato shinpan no yaiba
yurusu koto wa yurusarezu mabushii uso ni yakare tsudzukete

The colour of disorder floats in my eyes being scorched
Scars caused by the blade of judgement still don’t heal
Forgiveness is not permitted, continue to be burnt in your bright lies

何もかもが 罪ならば まだ 傷つけられた気がした
砕け 散っていく花 似合う この地獄
焼かれて 捨てられても まだ 許されないこの罪を
信じて さまよう世界 独り叫んだ その先に

nani mo kamo ga tsumi naraba mada kizutsukerareta ki ga shita
kudake chitte yuku hana ni au kono inferno
yakarete suteraretemo mada yurusarenai kono tsumi o
shinjite samayou sekai hitori sakenda sono saki ni

Assuming everything is a sin, I still had the feeling they were being hurt
It matches flowers smashed to pieces, this inferno
Even if they’re burnt and discarded, I still believe in these unforgiven sins
In this world of wandering, after you’ve screamed alone

哀しい祈り もう届かない祈り
そんなものは 意味無いってさ 教えてよ その手で

kanashii inori mou todokanai inori
sonna mono wa imi nai tte sa oshiete yo sono te de

there’ll be sad prayers, prayers that will no longer reach
There’s no meaning in that kind of thing, come on and show me with your own hands

深い愛が 罪ならば まだ 諦められた気がした
汚れきっているなら 呼んで その地獄
焼かれて 砕かれても まだ 許されないこの罪を
抱えて さまよう世界 迷い続けたその先に

fukai ai ga tsumi naraba mada akiramerareta ki ga shita
yogore kitteiru nara yonde sono inferno
yakarete kudakaretemo mada yurusarenai kono tsumi o
kakaete samayou sekai mayoi tsudzuketa sono saki ni

Assuming deep love is a sin, I had the feeling it’s still been given up on
If you’re all dirtied up, call out for the inferno
Even if you’re burned and crushed, you’ll still bear this unforgivable sin
In this world of wandering, after you’ve continued to be lost

優しい終わり 心安らぐ終わり
そんなものは もう無いなら 殺してよ その手で 許される前に

yasashii owari kokoro yasuragu owari
sonna mono wa mou nai nara koroshite yo sono te de yurusareru mae ni

there’ll be a gentle ending, a heart warming ending
If there’s nothing like that anymore why don’t you kill me with your own hands, before you’re forgiven
