スターシーカー | Star Seeker

Having taken an astronomy class lately, the stars have earned a special place in my heart; I’ve been loving this song a lot lately. There’s also a remix from 改 -Aratame-. This song is part of a series, you can see the next part over at Kafka’s place, here.

Look at the sky.
What a starry night.

uh…

いつか
息詰まるような暮らしの中
描いた夢は

itsu ka
iki dzumaru you na kurashi no naka
egaita yume wa

Someday
I’ll live without having my dream bound
by anyone

誰にも縛られることなく生きる
私の姿

dare ni mo shibarareru koto naku ikiru
watashi no sugata

The dream that I came up with in the middle of a
smothering life

それはまるで
甘い星型弾のように魅力的で

sore wa maru de
amai konpeetoo no you ni miryokuteki de

It was captivating
almost as if it was like a sweet star shaped candy

世界を変えるだけの力を
私は求め始めた

sekai o kaeru dake no chikara o
watashi wa motome hajimeta

so I began to seek the power to
change the world

果てしなく続いてく
遙かなる道を
私らしく、一歩ずつ
しっかりと進んでいくんだ―!

hate shinaku tsudzuite ku
haruka naru michi o
watashi rashiku, ippo zutsu
shikkari to susunde yuku n da―!

Down this distant road
Continuing without an end
Just like me, I’ll advance
one small, firm step at a time―!

Look at the sky.
What a starry night.

小さな両の手では
到底収まりきらぬ無数の星屑たち

chiisa na ryou no te de wa
toutei osamari kiranu musuu no hoshikuzu tachi

There are countless specs of stardust
unable to possibly fit in both my hands

全てこの手へと
飛べない私だけれども、いつか、きっと…!

subete kono te e to
tobenai watashi da keredomo, itsuka, kitto…!

Everything will be mine
I might not be able to fly, but one day, I’m sure…!

いつか
色を失った暮らしの中
描いた夢は

itsu ka
iro o ushinatta kurashi no naka
egaita yume wa

Someday
I’ll live without having my dream being bossed
by anyone

誰にも命じられることなく生きる
私の姿

dare ni mo meijirareru koto naku ikiru
watashi no sugata

The dream that I came up with in the middle of a
colourless life

それは まるで
眩い閃光のよう雑じり気が無く

sore wa maru de
mabayui senkou no you majiri ki ga naku

Without feeling
like it was crossed with dazzling lights

世界を変えるだけの力を
私は探し始めた

sekai o kaeru dake no chikara o
watashi wa sagashi hajimeta

I began to search for the power to
change the world

自由が、ああ、こんなにも
美しいものなら
燦然たるその輝きを
この瞳にも宿そう―!

jiyuu ga, aa, konna ni mo
utsukushii mono nara
sanzen taru sono kagayaki o
kono hitomi ni mo yadosou―!

If freedom is, ah, this much
of a beautiful thing
I feel like the luminant light of the stars
might dwell in my eyes too―!

Look at the sky.
What a starry night.

遠く星雲の向こう側を目指し
はては”Where no man has gone before.”

tooku seiun no mukougawa o mezashi
hate wa saigo no furontia

Aiming far beyond the nebulae
the ends of which are the final frontier “Where no man has gone before.”

夢を追いかける
それは”たられば”ではなく、形を持つ…!

yume o oi kakeru
sore wa “tarareba” de wa naku, katachi o motsu…!

I’ll chase my dream
It’s not a “what if” kind of thing, it’s for real…!

天の川のように。
恋に恋をするように。
あの流れ星のように。

ama no kawa no you ni.
koi ni koi o suru you ni.
ano nagareboshi no you ni.

Like the milky way.
Like falling in love with love.
Like that shooting star.

描いた夢
私の全て
ずっと、抱きしめるんだ―!

egaita yume
watashi no subete
zutto, daki shimeru n da―!

The dream I imagined
Everything of mine
Forever, I’ll embrace them―!

Look at the sky.
What a starry night.

狭いこの家と、この棚と、
そんな全てに逆らって

semai kono ie to, kono shigarami to,
sonna subete ni sakaratte

This cramped house, and these shelves and bonds,
I’ll turn my back against it all

ここから始まっていく
二つとはない私の物語が

koko kara hajimatte iku
futatsu to wa nai watashi no monogatari ga

It all starts from here on
My story as a whole

Look at the sky.
What a starry night.

幻想に跨って
そうだ私こそは永遠のスターシーカー

gensou ni matagatte
sou da watashi koso wa eien no sutaa shiikaa

Stretching into fantasy
That’s right, I, right here, am an eternal star seeker

そして星になる
誰の手も届かぬところへいつか、きっと…!

soshite hoshi ni naru
dare no te mo todokanu tokoro e itsuka, kitto…!

And then I’ll become a star
and one day go where nobody’s hand can reach, for sure…!

lalala…

不思議の国のクリスマス | Christmas in Wonderland

I’m back, and with a Christmas special! I still haven’t made much progress on my light novel though, someone needs to slap me. From now on, I’ve decided to take a less conservative approach to translating songs. I think things are going to look much better here on out.
Thanks for all my supporters, this hobby wouldn’t be so fun without you, and merry Christmas!

Silent night
It’s the rendevous of a holy night in wonderland
Holy night
Visions dance amongst the lights

オマジナイの言葉が ひとり歩きしそうな
妖しげな月明かりの夜 ふたり出かけましよう

omajinai no kotoba ga hitori aruki shisou na
ayashige na tsuki akari no yoru futari de kakemashou

It’s as if magic spells walk on their own
Let’s both go out on this myserious moonlit night

迷いの森に隠された 扉開いて覗き込む
現実と夢の狭間に 描かれた世界

mayoi no mori ni kakusareta tobira hiraite nozoki komu
genjitsu to yume no hazama ni egakareta sekai

Open and gaze into the door hidden by the forest of the lost
You’ll see a world drawn in between dreams and reality

It’s the rendevous of a holy night in wonderland
Holy night
Visions dance amongst the lights
I want to travel through this dream coloured story with you

粉雪の妖精が いたずらに微笑んだ
おとぎ話の 1 ページに迷い込んだみたい

konayuki no yousei ga itazura ni hohoenda
otogi banashi no ichi peeji ni mayoi konda mitai

The snow fairies smiled full of mischief
It’s as if we wandered into a page from a fairy tail

魔法の花の芳しさ ため息の出る美しさ
哀しみがふっと癒される 真っ白な世界

kanashimi ga futto iyasareru masshiro na sekai

The aroma of the magic flowers is a beauty to make you sigh
It’s a snow white world where all your pain will be cured in a snap

niji iro no nazo kake anata to idomitai no

Silent night
It’s the rendevous of a secret night in the mirror world
Holy night
Under the starry sky the visions have questions
I want to take on these rainbow coloured riddles with you

淡く煌くまほろばに導かれ
ホーリーナイト
天使が鳴らす鐘の音に耳澄ます
そうね 今日はクリスマス
ふたりで祝いますか

Silent night
awaku kirameku mahoroba ni michibikare
Holy night
tenshi ga narasu kane no ne ni mimi sumasu
sou ne kyou wa kurisumasu
futari de iwaimasu ka

Silent night
We’re guided by the faint glimmering land of harmony
Holy night
Listen for the sound of the bells the angels ring
That’s right, today is Christmas
Will you celebrate with me?
