Requested by Debora, Tamusic lyrics are pretty hard to find. I’m generally distrustful of using the Touhou wiki as my only source as well, since there’s usually at least one mistake. As for lyric interpretation, keep in mind that the original song is heard in Hell.
guruguru sadamarazu jibun o nakushite
samayoi kaerenai hitori no tabibito
barabara kuzurete ku me no mae maboroshi
doko made yukeba ii? kotae no nai mama
Round and round, undecided, losing yourself Wandering, the lone traveller unable to return Piece into piece crumbling, illusions before your eyes How far should you go? There remains no answer
浮世離れして それでいいよと
信じてるモノが あるよ
ukiyobanare shite sore de ii yo to
shinjiteru mono ga aru yo
There are those who believe they’re fine being free from worldliness
guruguru mawari dasu kotoba o kami shime
jibun ga nozomu mono sore sae aimai
barabara kidzukazu ni moto ni wa modorezu
sore sura shinkou to agamete kiete ku
Round and round, biting down on rotating words What one desires, even that is vague Piece into piece, not realizing, unable to go back to normal Even those revering faith, fade away
その身を焦がしてく それすら気付かず
夢見た姿には未だに還くて
sono mi o kogashite ku sore sura kidzukazu
yume mita sugata ni wa imada ni tookute
Not even noticing that your body is in agony you’re still far from the form you dreamt of
Requested by malekdeneith, I should really listen to more Seventh Heaven Maxion.

aa… zutto mukashi no yume o miteita
nani mo kiowazu sugoshita hibi wa nan to naku nagare kusunda
toku ni mezasu shirube motazu tada ikiteita
Ah.. I’ve always been dreaming about the past Those days I spent carefree somehow grew dull, flowing Not having any particular direction I just simply lived
ただ惰性で 目の前に下がった
色とりどり 問題を解消した
tada dasei de me no mae ni sagatta
iro toridori mondai o kaishou shita
Simply out of habit, I resolved the various problems that brought themselves before my eyes
何気ないあの日々を ずっと退屈だなと
価値など無い「ある日」と思い込んでた
nanige nai ano hibi o zutto taikutsu da na to
kachi nado nai 「aru hi」 to omoi kondeta
I always figured that those simple days were always boring and nothing more than a worthless “day”
でも今なら分かるよ 友と過ごし生きてた
あれこそが輝かしい日々だったと
demo ima nara wakaru yo tomo to sugoshi ikiteta
are koso ga kagayakashii hibi datta to
but now I understand, I lived spending the time with friends I get that those were bright days
mou modorenai hibi
haseta omoi wa samishiku mo ari setsunai
sou natsukashisa de mune ga ippai
minna onaji hitomi onaji sugata de iru noni
Days I can’t go back to anymore My reminiscing thoughts are both lonely and painful Yes, my heart is filled with nostalgia though everyone has similar eyes and similar looks
人ならざる時間を 共に歩む事など
出来はしないものだと 気付いてたのに
hito narazaru jikan o tomo ni susumu koto nado
deki wa shinai mono da to kidzuiteta noni
though I realized we can’t all walk through inhuman time together
若さの無駄遣いを 快感と思ってた
やがて来る離別から 目を逸らして
wakasa no mudadzukai o kaikan to omotteta
yagate kuru ribetsu kara me o sorashite
I thought of the waste of my youth as pleasant averting my eyes away from the parting soon to come
Ah, my first year at university has officially come to an end, and what better way to come back than with a Yumemi arrange? She has quickly become one of my favourite characters. Her and I share a lot of the same aspirations, after all, which are perhaps my main drive as I major in physics.
I have to apologize for lack of translations lately, but a lot has been going on. I’ll definitely be trying to pick up the pace from now on though, starting with this one that I left half-done for months due to its difficulty.
Notes: This is perhaps the most liberal translation I’ve ever done. There is no other way to approach these lyrics unless you want the result to sound like garbage (nothing but noun phrases). Under normal circumstances, I’d slap myself for going so far, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

虚ろな幻想 響いた詩
滲む涙 翳る陽光
消えた魔法 おもいの行方
渇いた 沙 を運ぶ
utsuro na yume hibiita uta
nijimu namida kageru hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita suna o hakobu
It was an empty dream, a poem that resonated Tears run down, the sunlight dims Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings carrying parched sand
君の声も 僕の声も 歪んだまま 超える時空
君の傍に 君の幻に
kimi no koe mo boku no koe mo yuganda mama koeru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni
Your voice, my voice, remaining twisted, overcome space-time by your side, heading to your dream
独り 笑う 孤独の刃 奪う 自由 擦り切れた 咎の雨
足下で 蠢く 声が 囁いて 離れないままで
hitori warau kodoku no yaiba ubau jiyuu suri kireta toga no ame
ashimoto de ugomeku koe ga sasayaite hanarenai mama de
Alone, I laugh, with my blade of solitude, stealing freedom, the worn out rain of treason The voice squirming at my feet whispers, remaining close by
綻んだ 夜に踊っていたいだけ
軌跡の向こう 希望の光
hokoronda yoru ni odotteitai dake
kiseki no mukou kibou no hikari
I just want to keep dancing in the exposed night Beyond our trajectory lies the light of hope
utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru
Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy The closure of my promise I am, I am, looking, at our dream
歪な心の 欠片の先に 君の涙 僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃 縛られた因果 戯れの刃 魔法のような
ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na
Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic
utsukushii uso ni oboreteru itami sae wasureta mama de
tsuioku no kanata no yume mahou o motometeru
habataite wa ochite wa kiete nozonde wa yugande ku yume
souzou no hate ni
nani o nani o kimi wa miteru
Drowning in a beautiful lie, having forgotten even pain it’s a hazy dream beyond my recollection: seeking magic power Disappearing upon falling upon flying, desiring presents a twisting fantasy In the opus of creation at what, at what, are you, looking?
歪な心の 欠片の先に 君の涙 僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃 縛られた因果 戯れの刃 魔法のような
ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na
Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic
世界の幻想 世界の詩
望む色に 沈む夕陽
消えた魔法 想いの行方
渇いた 声 で歌う
sekai no yume sekai no uta
nozomu iro ni shizumu hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita uta de utau
Fantasy of the world, poetry of the world The sun sets into the colour I desire Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings I sing with a parched voice
君の世界 僕の世界 歪んだまま 消える時空
君の傍に 君の幻に
kimi no sekai boku no sekai yuganda mama kieru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni
Your world, my world, remaining twisted, disappear in space-time by your side, to your dream
utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru
Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy The closure of my promise I am, I am, looking, at our dream
