Have a Good Dream

It’s funny, there are two types of songs: Ones that are easy to translate, and ones that simply aren’t. This would fall under the former, it’s a surprise how fast I could get it done.

使い古されてた 言葉を拾って
この気持ちに今 名前を付けたい

tsukai furusareteta kotoba o hirotte
kono kimochi ni ima namae o tsuketai

I’ve become worn out, I gather up words
To this feeling now, I want to give a name

願うだけでは駄目 祈るだけでも駄目
信じるだけでは もう赦せない

negau dake de wa dame inoru dake de mo dame
shinjiru dake de wa mou yurusenai

It’s no good just to wish, it’s no good to pray either
Just having faith alone can’t be allowed anymore

僕の この手では 何一つ つかめないままなら
何を 抱きしめて 眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani hitotsu tsukamenai mama nara
nani o daki shimete nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if every single thing remains out of reach
what will I embrace close? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

全ては終わる もう おやすみなさい
また会う日まで さあ おやすみなさい
いくつも 時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が 聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless times
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

もし このまま 目が 覚めないままなら
何に祈ればいい 夢の中で

moshi kono mama me ga samenai mama nara
nani ni inoreba ii yume no naka de

If my eyes were to remain shut like this, unable to open,
what should I pray to? Inside this dream

僕の この手では 何もかも 壊してしまうなら
何を 思い出し 眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani mo kamo kowashite shimau nara
nani o omoi dashi nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if I just utterly destroy anything and everything
what will I remember? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

信じていいよ もう おやすみなさい
悲しまないで さあ おやすみなさい
長い長い 夜を超えて
優しく”おはよう”と告げる 声が 聴こえるまで

shinjite ii yo mou oyasuminasai
kanashimanai de saa oyasuminasai
nagai nagai yoru o koete
yasashiku “ohayou” to tsugeru koe ga kikoeru made

It’s alright to believe, it’s good night already
Don’t grieve for me, it’s good night see
I’ll pass, I’ll pass, through these long nights
until I can listen to a voice kindly telling me “good morning”

全ては終わる もう おやすみなさい
また会う日まで さあ おやすみなさい
いくつも 時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が 聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless time
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

Remembrance

Phew, been caught up on doing a lot of study recently. Now it’s time to catch up on translating. To begin with, I have plans to cover some more from this album, and next up, more Dancing Dollz maybe.

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
寄り添う月 引き合う星 君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon snuggles up and the stars pull close, close to you

明けない夜があったならいいのにね
呟く君の目に光る紅い星

akenai yoru ga atta nara ii noni ne
tsubuyaku kimi no me ni hikaru akai hoshi

If the night would never end that’d be nice wouldn’t it
There are scarlet stars shining in your eyes as you murmur

さあ 手を 伸ばしてみたら
さあ 目を 開いてみたら
今でも 手が届くはず 心に 手が届くはず

saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu

Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes
Even now, I should be able to reach, to your heart, I should be able to reach

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
思い出せば この心は 揺れるばかり

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
omoi daseba kono kokoro wa yureru bakari

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
If you recall, this heart does nothing but shake

夜明け前を 照らす青に 染まる世界
空と君を 分ける意味を 失う世界
さあ 手を 伸ばしてみたら
さあ 目を 開いてみたら

yoake mae o terasu ao ni somaru sekai
sora to kimi o wakeru imi o ushinau sekai
saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara

It’s a world dyed in a blue which shines before dawn
It’s a world that loses the meanings which divide you and the sky
Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes

無くしたもの 探しに行けるよ

nakushita mono sagashi ni ikeru yo

I should be able to go and search for what was lost

君が奏でてた 歌を探してた
忘れないように 何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど知っていた この瞬間 もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo shitteita kono shunkan mou nido to nai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had come to know, this moment, that things will never be again

雲一つない 夜空を見て 微笑んでる
君が君で ある理由を 失う世界
今でも手が届くはず 心に 手が届くはず
大事なもの 探しに行こうよ

kumo hitotsu nai yozora o mite hohoenderu
kimi ga kimi de aru riyuu o ushinau sekai
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu
daiji na mono sagashi ni ikou yo

Seeing the cloudless night and smiling
It’s a world which loses the reason that you’re you
Even now, I should be able to reach, your heart, I should be able to reach
Lets go and search for important things

優しさの意味を 誰より知っていた
傷つける事を 何度も何度も諦めて

yasashisa no imi o dare yori shitteita
kizutsukeru koto o nando mo nando mo akiramete

You had known more than anyone else the meaning of kindness
Over and over I give up on hurting

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど分かってた この声は もう届かない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo wakatteita kono koe wa mou todokanai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had understood, that this voice would never reach anymore

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
寄り添う月 引き合う星 君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon draws close, the stars pull together, to your side

君が奏でてた 歌を探してた
忘れないように 何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど知っていた この瞬間 もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo shitteita kono shunkan mou nido to nai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had come to know, this moment, that things will never be again

here

What a touching song. I’m sure we all have moments where we wish we could go back and change things, hopefully not as tragic as this though.

さっきまで 隣で
歩いて幸せだった
当たり前に 感じていたこと
それも曖昧な 帰り際

sakki made tonari de
aruite shiawase datta
atari mae ni kanjiteita koto
sore mo aimai na kaeri giwi

Until just now, by your side
I was happy to walk with you
That was how I had usually felt
That was as well a vague moment before parting

振り返ると 曇る表情
キミはあの時
もう答え 決めてたの

furi kaeru to kumoru hyoujou
kimi wa ano toki
mou kotae kimeteta no

If I reminisce, your expression was cloudy
At that time you had
already decided what you’d say

離れたくないと
素直に言えたら
変えられたのかな
二人の未来
涙が気持ちを
教えてくれてる
いつまでもキミに
居て欲しかった

hanaretakunai to
sunao ni ietara
kaerareta no kana
futari no mirai
namida ga kimochi o
oshiete kureteru
itsu made mo kimi ni
ite hoshikatta

I don’t want to leave you
If I could have honestly said that
I wonder if they could have been different
both of our futures
These tears teach me
all about feelings
I wanted you to be there
with me forever

大好きだった
声が浮かぶ
キミをあの時
もう一度 引き止めて

daisuki datta
koe ga ukabu
kimi o ano toki
mou ichido hiki tomete

I loved you
A voice comes to mind
telling to keep you, that time
from leaving, one more time

思い出している
繋いだ ぬくもり
話した夢とか
くれた言葉を
思い出している
触れられなくても
いつまでもキミに
居て欲しかった

omoi dashiteiru
tsunaida nukumori
hanashita yume toka
kureta kotoba o
omoi dashiteiru
furerarenakutemo
itsu made mo kimi ni
ite hoshikatta

I’m recalling it all
that warmth you fastened
The dreams we talked about
words you told me and more
I’m recalling it all
even though you can’t feel me
I wanted you to be there
with me forever

さよならを聞く前だった
ごめんねと言う口もとを
何度でも 変わらなくても
思い出している

sayonara o kiku mae datta
gomenne to iu kuchi moto o
nando demo kawaranakutemo
omoi dashiteiru

From before I heard your goodbye
I recall your lips as you said sorry
Even though it’ll never change
countlessly I recall it

MyonMyonMyonMyonMyonMyonMyon!

I should never have touched this song.

宵口 鯉口 斬口 飛沫 サラサラ
閃き 斬裂 溜息 息吹 カラカラ
無言に 風立ち 逆巻き 独り さよなら
刃に 何を映しているの? 浮世か、幽世
たちまち 苛立ち 俄かに 別離 バラバラ
無力に 佇み どこかに 独り さよなら
どちらにも動けないこの世界では独りでいつも
中途半端だと笑わないで それでもいつの日か
睨む地獄の果てを
飛び立つ地獄を越えて
見上げる天の彼方を
捉える極楽の日さえも
見つめる地獄の果てを目指して
飛び立つ地獄から抜け出せば 止まらないで
見上げる天の彼方を
掴む極楽の日を

yoiguchi koiguchi kiriguchi shibuki sarasara
hirameki kirisaki tameiki ibuki karakara
ginjimai ni kaze tachi sakamaki hitori sayonara
yaiba ni nani o utsushiteiru no? ukiyo ka, kakuryo
tachimachi iradachi niwaka ni betsuri barabara
muryoku ni tatazumi doko ka ni hitori sayonara
dochira ni mo ugokenai kono sekai de wa hitori de itsumo
chuutohanpa da to warawanai de sore demo itsu no hi ka
niramu jigoku no hate o
tobi tatsu jigoku o koete
mi ageru sora no kanata o
toraeru gokuraku no hi sae mo
mitsumeru jigoku no hate o mezashite
tobi tatsu jigoku kara nuke daseba tomaranai de
mi ageru sora no kanata o
tsukamu gokuraku no hi o

Nightfall, sword sheath, cut, splash, drip drop drip drop
A flash, slice and dice, a sigh, a breath, parched and dried
To the silence, wind rises, and surges, all alone, it’s goodbye
What’s reflected in this blade? A world of suffering or the afterlife?
All at once, irritation, suddenly, separating, apart and apart
Powerlessly, just standing still, off to somewhere, alone I give a goodbye
I can’t move no matter which way, in this world I’ll always be alone
Don’t laugh that I’m left incomplete, but even so, one of these days
I’ll glare at the ends of hell
I’ll transcend this launching hell
and look far off beyond the sky
I’ll even seize a day of paradise
I’ll head for the ends of hell that I set my eyes on
and if I break out from this launching hell, I won’t stop
I’ll look far off beyond the sky
I’ll seize a day of paradise

暁 纏わり 重なり 間合い ザワザワ
競り合い 火花に 煌き 瞳 キラキラ
桜に 風立ち 舞い散り 吹雪 さよなら
刃に 何を映しているの? 浮世か、幽世
見つめる地獄の果てを目指して
飛び立つ地獄を越える様に 止まらないで
見上げる天の彼方を
掴む極楽の日を
辿り着くまで
今を斬り裂くから その先の何かを見せてよ
今を斬り裂いたら 何が残るだろう
今を斬り裂くから その先の何かを見せてよ
何もかも斬り裂いたら 何が待つのだろう
今を斬り裂くから その先の何かを見せてよ
今を斬り裂いたら 何が残るだろう
今を斬り裂くから その先の何かを見せてよ
何もかも斬り裂いたら 私はどこへ往く

akatsuki matowari kasanari maai zawazawa
seriai hibana ni kirameki hitomi kirakira

mitsumeru jigoku no hate o mezashite
tobi tatsu jigoku o koeru you ni tomaranai de

Daybreak, associating, overlapping, now’s the time, chatter chatter
Competition, a shine in the spark, those eyes twinkle twinkle
To the sakura, wind rises, and leaves scatter, like a blizzard, it’s goodbye
What’s reflected in this blade? A world of suffering or the afterlife?
I’ll aim for the ends of hell my eyes are set upon
and in order to cross over this launching hell, I won’t stop
I’ll look far off beyond the sky

I’ll grasp for a day of paradise
until reaching it
I’m going to slice apart the present, show me something that lies afterwards
When I slice apart the present, I wonder what will remain
I’m going to slice apart the present, show me something that lies afterwards
When I slice apart everything, I wonder what will be there to wait
I’m going to slice apart the present, show me something that lies afterwards
When I slice apart the present, I wonder what will remain
I’m going to slice apart the present, show me something that lies afterwards
When I slice apart everything, where will I then go?
