Looks like this song isn’t on youtube yet, somehow. I just love the name of this song, it’s a very awe-inspiring title. An “infinite being” sounds even more powerful than a god, if you were to ask me. The final stanza is the best part of it.

Time goes by, and follow There is always me in a dream Gather in a dark night I don’t need to die in a dream
Dream does not fade away Dance a beloved servant a dark night Gather in a dark night Because there is the fantasy
Time goes by, and follow There is always me in a dream Gather in a dark night I don’t need to die in a dream
kanashii yume wa misenai wa
iyashite ageru watashi ga
gensou no chi de maeba ii watashi to
mugen no toki to batsu to yami
owaranu toki ga aru kara
gensou no chi no eien yo watashi wa
I won’t show you any sad dreams I’ll be the one to heal all of your wounds It’s best to dance on these fantastic grounds here with me The time, punishment, and darkness is dreamlike We have unlimited time after all I am the eternity of this land of fantasy
Requested by Niniva Chan, this song sure has a lot of sexual undertones. You might also notice it’s a Syrufit arrange rather than Alst. The lyrics sound like a standard Alst song for the most part, but I could really feel the difference in lyrical style between Mei Ayakura and Haruka.
In other news, this new less conservative way of translation I’ve started going with has been going great.

toki wa kita owari no hajimari kara
te o hikare yasashii hikari no saki
usu gurai heya ni wa yureru kagerou
mezameta toki kara shiawase deshita
The time has come, ever since the beginning of the end I’m pulled by the hand to a gentle light Mirages dance in the dull, dark room Ever since I awoke, I’ve been happy
shizukesa to ondo ga kasanaru toki
nani yori mo idai na anata no moto
soba ni iru yurushi o erareta koto no
hokori ni kawari wa aru no deshou ka?
When the silence and temperature overlap I want to be by your great side more than anything Is there such thing as a replacement for the pride in having earned my place next to you?
潜む影
凍てつく囁きは
途切れ途切れ
また 近づく
嗄れる声
ずっと守ってきた場所
壊さないで
hisomu kage
ite tsuku sasayaki wa
togire togire
mata chikadzuku
kareru koe
zutto mamotte kita basho
kowasanai de
Your shadow lurks Your freezing whispers disconnected come close again I beg with a hoarse voice “Please don’t ruin the place that I’ve always protected”
akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni
subete subete subete subete yudaneyou
mi todokeru ima sono mama o
Stained, stained, stained, stained blood-red The drops, the drops, the drops, the drops that drip are tears Pure wings, pure wings, pure wings, pure feathers fall Where’s all the light that I thought would be here? The cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle repeats going on, going on, going on, going on, without an end Shall we, shall we, shall we, shall we leave everything to it? I’ll see it through, as it is now
hajime kara owari wa kawaranu koto
negattemo kanawanu tsuyogari yori
nani yori mo yowai to kidzuita no desu
kono mama de wa sono te o tsukamenai
From the beginning, the end has been an unchangeable truth Wishing won’t do any good to grant my prayers I’ve realized I’m more weak than anything, than my act I can’t take your hand like this
運命は
生まれた刹那から
必然か、と
誰が問うの？
繰り返す
ずっと守ってきた場所
汚さないで、と
unmei wa
umareta setsuna kara
hitsuzen ka, to
dare ga tou no?
kuri kaesu
zutto mamotte kita basho
yogosanai de, to
Who is it that asks if from the moment of birth destiny is inevitable? Repeating “Please don’t defile the place that I’ve always protected”
akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni

I’ve become a big Sally fan since I went on my translation break, and at this point, this is probably my favourite song of theirs. Despite Sally songs generally having difficult lyrics, I’m planning on taking on a bunch of them. Shuriken especially is known for his crazy lyrics though, so I’m not sure how well it’ll go.

永遠なんてなかったこと
私はそれでも構わない
eien nante nakatta koto
watashi wa sore demo kamawanai
There was no such thing as eternity Despite that, I don’t give a care
すべてが変わった 夢じゃないの
掴んで離して触れてみるの
subete ga kawatta yume janai no
tsukande hanashite furete miru no
Everything is different, it’s no dream I try to get a grip, let go, and feel
最初は戸惑いばかり
二度目はきっと大丈夫
saisho wa tomadoi bakari
nidome wa kitto daijoubu
At first I was just lost and confused This time around I’m sure I’ll be just fine
kyou wa kuroi doresu otona no kibun de
choppiri senobi mo tama ni wa ii yo ne
daisuki na otsuki sama to issho nara
watashi wa itsu datte kawareru kara
Today, feeling like an adult, I wear my black dress It’s alright to act a bit older than you are every now and then As long as I’m with my beloved moon I can change anytime after all
anata ga kureta akai ribon o tsukete
kono hiroi uchuu kara mamotte miseru
kokoro mo karada mo subete naku natte
sore demo zutto anata to issho ni
I put on the red ribbon that you gave me I’ll show you that I’ll protect it from this vast universe Even upon losing a heart and body and everything I’ll always be together with you
Requested by Flaemes, I’m starting to get a lot of requests piled up now. Cue sirens blaring in the background, I’ve gone against the original order I was supposed to do them in. Being very overdue on working on requests, I figured I’d start off here with what looks like the shortest one. I can’t recall if Kafka said he’d do 昊飛ぶ郵便屋さん, but if so, that might be an extra one off the list, and a very tough looking one, at that.
Notes: 「そんな夢に ah…」 is effectively untranslatable, given the grammatical structure of English. There is no verb. I put it as “I’ll see your dream and ah…,” but there is no “see,” I only wrote that there to allow me to put “and” in as well, so I could add in the vagueness of the original line. To give a more literal translation, it’d be “I’ll ___ your dream.”

tozashita keshiki wa sakasama detarame
suki toka kirai ja mienai ura to omote
kuchi ni wa dasenai anata no koto da to
hontou wa nan ni mo kawatteinai hazu de
This sealed off scenery is upside down, all nonsense Love and hate, they’re both unseeable sides of the same coin I can’t express how I feel about you all because I thought nothing would be different
ありふれたエブリデイ 唐突に過ぎて
忘れられたサムデイ ”私、此処にいるよ”
arifureta eburidei toutotsu ni sugite
wasurerareta samudei “watashi, koko ni iru yo”
Everyday, plain as always, passes by all of a sudden Someday, forgotten, “I’ll be right here”
否定したいよ こんな結末
何時か貴方の為に そんな夢に ah…
hitei shitai yo konna ketsumatsu
itsu ka anata no tame ni sonna yume ni ah…
I don’t want to accept an ending like this Someday, for your sake, I’ll see your dream and ah…
二人 笑い合うエブリデイ 壊れてしまうよ
裏表のサムデイ ”私、此処にいるよ”
futari warai au eburidei kowarete shimau yo
uraomote no samudei “watashi, koko ni iru yo”
Everyday, with us smiling at each other, accidentally fell apart Someday, double dealing, “I’ll be right here”
