Requested by Maria, this song actually seems to be part of an interlinked plot between the songs and albums. I wonder what happened before this?

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く プログラムへと
仕組まれた「解」は視えずに missing link 幻影のままで━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku puroguramu e to
shikumareta 「kotae」 wa miezu ni missing link maboroshi no mama de

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into a program
Without seeing the planned “solution” the missing link remains an illusion

乾いた大地を撫でる狂気の風 吹き抜けて行く
乱された境界線、マイナスへの符号が重なる

kawaita daichi o naderu kyouki no kaze fuki nukete iku
midasareta kyoukaisen, mainasu e no fugou ga kasanaru

The wind of madness gently brushes across the parched earth, blowing through
The borderline was thrown into disorder, code turns negative and piles up

羅列されたcodeの海に溺れて
logical chart  停まらない衝動、吞み込まれてく

raretsu sareta code no umi ni oborete
logical chart tomaranai shoudou, nomi komareteku

Drowning in the sea of enumerated code
The logical chart, unstopped impulses, are swallowed up

消えゆくmemory.歪んだ視界 映し出す在りし日の残像
寄り添い歩み繋いだ誓い 壊れはじめる
抗う術を無くした腕は遠い過去を仰ぎ
消え行く光、掴めないまま凍り付いて逝く…

kie yuku memory. yuganda shikai utsushi dasu arishi hi no zanzou
yori soi ayumi tsunaida chikai koware hajimeru
aragau sube o nakushita ude wa tooi kako o aogi
kie yuku hikari, tsukamenai mama koori tsuite yuku…

Memory gradually fades. In this distorted field of vision the afterimage of the old days are projected
The sworn oath walks, getting close, and begins to be destroyed
Having lost the means to resist, my arm reaches for the distant past
Unable to grasp the disappearing light, I’ll be frozen…

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く アナグラムへと
刻まれた逃れる事出来ない my fate 繰り返して━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku anaguramu e to
kizamareta nogaretu koto dekinai my fate kuri kaeshite

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into an anagram
I can’t follow the escape plan that was carved, my fate repeats

ノイズと熱に支配された景色に、我は願った。
共に歩んだ人の子等を護る強さを与え給え…
消去されて行く「オモイデ」はゼロになり
やがて、この腕も紅く紅く染まりゆく…

noizu to netsu ni shihai sareta keshiki ni, ware wa negatta.
tomo ni ayunda hito no ko nado o mamoru tsuyosa o atae tamae…
shoukyo sarete yuku 「omoide」 wa zero ni nari
yagate, kono ude mo akaku akaku somari yuku…

Within an environment ruled by noise and fever, I prayed.
Give me the power to protect the children and others I walked together with, please…
My dying out “memories” will turn into zeroes
Soon enough, these arms will also be dyed bloodily…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時 慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
嘆きの雨は紅き涙へ 染まり続ける
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま常闇の中へ…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
nageki no ame wa akaki namida e somari tsudzukeru
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama tokoyami no naka e

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
The rain of grief will keep on being dyed with red tears
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the light, it disappears into endless darkness…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時 慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
斯くも儚き脈打つ鼓動 壊し続ける
『今標されし墓標の影に 望むは黒き血の穏招』
無限の彼方、聞こえる運命 我に降り注ぎ…
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま やがて生まれ変わる
覚醒の閧を上げて 破壊の隷属へと…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
kakumo hanaki myaku utsu kodou kowashi tsudzukeru
『ima shirusareshi bohyou no kage ni nozomu wa kuroki chi no onshou』
mugen no kanata, kikoeru sadame ware ni furi sosogi…
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama yagate umare kawaru
mezame no toki o agete hakai no reizoku e to…

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
My pounding heartbeat is so fleeting, as it continues to destroy
‘Right now in the shadows of the marked gravestones, what I desire are the calm beckons of the black blood’
Beyond infinity, I can hear my destiny, it downpours onto me…
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the disappearing light, before long I’ll start a new life
I’ll raise up my war cry when I awake, towards the underlings of destruction…

 

This song is actually pretty far down the story, it'd probably more sense if I had translated what came previous to it.

This song is actually pretty far down the story, it’d probably more sense if I had translated what came previous to it, so we had some context.

彼と彼女とわたしの話 | kare to kanojo to watashi no hanashi | The Story of Him, Her and Me

Requested by Primity, my first Shibayan song. If anyone was actually watching my twitter, you’d see I had a real fun time with this one. The tune of this song resembled Mario Kart in my opinion.

Notes: “Don’t try dodge around the invisible wall or anything” means “Don’t run away from the issue,” or “Don’t beat around the bush” for other wording, in case it seemed vague. Also, I’d like to imagine the girl waiting on the street is the speaker looking in through the window, at the couple.

If you were to ask about my interpretation of this song, it’s about a woman sitting around telling a story about a girl with a boyfriend (or maybe they were more than that?) in a relationship with no love. She tried to engage him but “He’s inside the fog loitering all alone” indicates that he’s detached. One day, he falls for another woman, and the speaker is like “Oh well, I can still see him anytime,” but she has to witness the couple do lover’s things.  In the end, the woman closes the storybook without finishing, and tells her audiences not to peek until she comes back.

こっち向いてねえ話を聞いて
見えない壁越しにごまかしたりしないで
あちらこちら目移りしてる
キャンディばかり舐めないで

kocchi muite nee hanashi o kiite
mienai kabe goshi ni gomakashitari shinai de
achira kochira meutsuri shiteru
kyandi bakari namenai de

Look over here – hey, listen to my story
Stop acting like you’re behind an invisible wall
Your eyes are darting all over the place
Do something besides just licking your candy

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
待ちわびてる女性
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道

furui aparutoman
atsui yakitate pan
kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
machiwabiteru josei
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
A woman tired of waiting
Beyond the foggy glass
a hazy brick road

甘い言葉胸焼けしそうよ
笑顔も憂鬱も手のひらで転がして
眼鏡の奥 きれいに隠した
ひと匙の嘘はどこ?

amai kotoba muneyake shisou yo
egao mo yuutsu mo te no hira de korogashite
megane no oku kirei ni kakushita
hitosaji no uso wa doko?

Sugar coated words make me feel heartburn
Rolling smiles and gloom around in the palm of your hand
Hidden neatly behind your glasses,
where is that spoonful of lies?

寂しがりなの知ってるのよ
わたしを愛してよ甘えさせてあげるわ
なんて呟いても 彼は霧のなか
ひとりで佇んでいるの

samishigari nano shitteru no yo
watashi o ai shite yo amaesasete ageru wa
nante tsubuyaitemo kare wa kiri no naka
hitori de tatazundeiru no

I know you feel lonely
“Love me, I’ll spoil you”
Whisper such as I may, he’s inside a cloud of fog
standing still all alone

地下鉄乗り継いで
バスは橋を渡る
鳥は餌をつまみ
彼はキスをつまむ
耳をくすぐる指
街は歌うメロディ
tu, tu, lu…

chikatetsu nori tsuide
basu wa hashi o wataru
tori wa esa o tsumami
kare wa kisu o tsumamu
mimi o kusuguru yubi
machi wa utau merodi
tu, tu, lu…

After getting off the subway
his bus crosses a bridge
The birds peck at their feed
He gives a peck on the lips
Fingers tickle the other’s ear
The melody the town sings
tu, tu, lu…

恋の終わりは突然なの
ある晩訪れた坂の上のカフェーで
歌の上手な看板娘
ついに彼は射抜かれた

koi no owari wa totsuzen nano
aru ban otozureta saka no ue no kafee de
uta no jouzu na kanban musume
tsui ni kare wa inukareta

The end of love is a sudden thing
Atop a hill, at a cafe he visited one evening
was their poster girl singing wonderfully
At last, he was love-struck

流れる文字はわたしの恋
掠れたインクから溢れ出していくのよ
神様の決めた終わりでも
いつだって会えるもの

nagareru moji wa watashi no koi
kasureta inku kara afure dashite yuku no yo
kamisama no kimeta owari demo
itsudatte aeru mono

The letters flowing on the page are my love
It’s pouring out from the blurry ink
Even if this ending is part of God’s plan,
I’ll always be able to see him

彼と彼女の甘いキス
見つめるわたし
踊る恋人包みこむ
幸せばかり
祝福の鐘鳴り響く
街の教会
tu, tu, lu…

kare to kanojo no amai kisu
mitsumeru watashi
odoru koibito tsutsumi komu
shiawase bakari
shukufuku no kane nari hibiku
machi no kyoukai
tu, tu, lu…

His and her sweet kiss
and me gazing at them
Encompassing the dancing lovers
is nothing but happiness
The blessed bells chime
in the town’s church
tu, tu, lu…

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
彼女の淹れた珈琲
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道
tu, tu, lu…

furui aparutoman
atsui yakitate pan
kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
kanojo no ireta koohii
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi
tu, tu, lu…

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
Coffee she had brewed
Beyond the foggy glass
a smoky brick road
tu, tu, lu…

皮の表紙閉じて
明日は別の街へ
フィナーレは見ないで
部屋の隅へ隠す
時を止めて眠る
恋人のアムール
薔薇の栞あげる
戻るまで待ってて

kawa no hyoushi tojite
asu wa betsu no machi e
finaare wa minai de
heya no sumi e kakusu
toki o tomete nemuru
koibito no amuuru
bara no shiori ageru
modoru made mattete

Closing the leather cover,
tomorrow I’m off to another town
Don’t look at the finale
I’ll hide it in the corner of the room
Time stops as I sleep
The lover’s amour
I’ll give you a rose bookmark
Keep waiting until I return

Stand Proud 【JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Stardust Crusaders Full Opening 1】

ジョジョの奇妙な冒険スターダストクルセイダースのオープニングテーマの歌詞。

Now that the full song is out, I can finish the translation! This song reflects on the anime in many ways. “The men search and pursue after his back as he sneers within the darkness” is a clear reference to the photos produced by Joseph for example.

Notes: 「封印じられてた「時」に 陽の光 浴びせるのは誰だ」 can also be interpreted as “Who will be the one to pour the light on this sealed time?”

そして、集いしスターダスト
100年目の目醒めに呼ばれて
男たちは向かう
時の砂を超えるJourney

soshite tsudoi shi staadasuto
hyakunenme no mezame ni yobarete
otokotachi wa mukau
toki no suna o koeru Journey

And so the stardust gathers together
called by his waking after one hundred years
The men face onwards
on a journey to overcome the sands of time

鎖のよう連なる絡み合うカルマ
白金で断つ運命

hikari de tatsu sadame

Stretching out like a chain, karma becomes intertwined:
a destiny to end it all with platinum light

tojirareta 「toki」 ni
hi no hikari abiseru no wa dare da
mirai nokosu kibou
nagareru hoshi no kureseidaazu

During this sealed “time”
who will be the one to pour the light?
The hope remaining in the future
is in the shooting star crusaders

賭けるのは命 護るべき愛と
TAROTは 配られた

kakeru no wa inochi mamoru beki ai to
kaado wa kubarareta

We’re gambling for life and the love we must protect
and the tarot cards have been dealt

砂漠に響く…

yami no naka warau senaka o

The men search and pursue after his back
as he sneers within the darkness
The requiem of their footsteps
resonates in the desert…

遠い 夕べの 追憶への旅路の
寂しげに 消えて行く その景色 甘い嘘
一握の 願いまで 崩れて また

tooi yuube no tsuioku e no tabiji no
samishige ni kiete yuku sono keshiki amai uso
ichiaku no negai made kuzurete mata

That lonelily disappearing scenery of a journey
leading towards reminiscence of a far night was a sweet lie

It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of wishes are left

君が教えてくれた 美しい希望の色さえも
いつかは 幻に映る

kimi ga oshiete kureta utsukushii kibou no iro sae mo
itsuka wa maboroshi ni utsuru

Even the beautiful colour of hope that you taught me about
will someday be displayed as an illusion

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら 流れていく 光
ま だ I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り 続けてる 世界に
ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
物言わぬ 想いは 君の
ま だ I was crying in the virtual reality
瞳に 映りこんでいる

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura nagerete iku hikari
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari tsudzuketeru sekai ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
mono iwanu omoi wa kimi no
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
hitomi ni utsuri kondeiru

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
light that streams flickering back and forth
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in a world that continues to deceive
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
The thoughts that I’m too shy to speak
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
are taken in by your eyes

追い かけていた 郷愁への光を
寂しげに 弄び 語る差異 見えぬ罠
一握の 想いまで 崩れて また

oi kaketeita kyoushuu e no hikari o
samishige ni moteasobi kataru sai mienu wana
ichiaku no omoi made kuzurete mata

That difference of talking and lonelily playing with
the light leading towards nostalgia that I pursued was an invisible trap

It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of feelings are left

君が教えてくれた あの景色は今どこにあるの
未だ 応える声は無く

kimi ga oshiete kureta ano keshiki wa ima doko ni aru no
imada kotaeru koe wa naku

Where is the landscape that you taught me about now?
There still isn’t a voice to respond to me     

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら 移っていく 季節
ま だ I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り 震えてる 鼓動に
ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
何度も 呼んでは いるのに
ま だ I was crying in the virtual reality
そこには たどり着けずに

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura utsutte iku kisetsu
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari furueteru kodou ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
nando mo yonde wa iru noni
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
soko ni wa tadori tsukezu ni

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
seasons that slowly sway as they pass by
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in the pulse that trembles with lies
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
even though I’ve been here callling out plentily
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
without arriving in that place

これは現実?

それでもいいよ
(それでもいいよ)
そばにいて くれるのなら

Is this reality?
(Is this a dream?)
That’s fine anyways
(That’s fine anyways)
If you’ll stay beside me

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
