新調 マミのおけさ節 | shinchou mami no okesabushi | Mami’s Brand New Okesabushi

Phew, the translation was the easy part of this one, but getting all the kanji transcribed took a while. I had a lot of trouble figuring out some of them. I guess that’s what I get for putting off my studies. According to the dictionary, Okesabushi is a style of Japanese folk song associated with the Niigata prefecture. This’ll probably be the last song from this album I do.

夢想恋歌 | musou renka | Fantasy Love Song 【Watamote Full Ending 2】

Warning, this is a pretty vulgar song. Of course, if you haven’t seen the anime, or if you don’t know about it at least, this song’ll really seem off the rocks. I’m not surprised I couldn’t find an english translation for this, it seems to be a severely underrated song. I really how the enka style is implemented in it.

Notes: 「喪がいて」 seems to be a play on words, combining 「喪女」 and the verb 「もがく」.
「忌みTATION!」 and　「廃TENSION!」 are taking advantage of the sound reading of the kanji to make english sounding words, I haven’t seen that before.

パードゥン？なんて？今おっしゃった…？
脳天キック　喰らうようで
固く結ばれた　ぼっちの協定
共に喪女った　キミは変わって
バーチャル彼氏　デフォな時代で
わざわざリアルに　作ってないで
「ケツでも揉めば　目ぇ覚ますんか…？」
お巡りさんまでアン・ドゥ・トロワ！

paadun? nante? ima osshatta…?
nouten kikku kurau you de
kataku musubareta bocchi no kyoutei
tomo ni mojo tta kimi wa kawatte
baacharu kareshi defo na jidai de
wazawaza riaru ni tsukuttenai de
「ketsu demo momeba mee samasu n ka…?」
omawarisan made an・du・torowa!

Pardon? What did you just say…?
It’s like I took a kick to the head
Our pact of solitude was fastened tightly
together we were creeps, you’ve changed
During a default era of virtual boyfriends
without actually making real ones
“If you’re even wagging your ass, will you wake up…?”
All the way to the police officer, one two three!

アッー！！！
さぁさぁ　乳繰り合っちゃって？　勝手にサカってろFXXK！
たった一人の友人も　どいつもこいつも「裏切りゴッメーン」

Aaa!!!
saa saa chichikuri acchatte? katte ni sakattero FXXK!

Ahh!!!
Now now, you’ve been secretly seeing someone else? Go and FXXK like animals all you want!
Even my one and only friend, all of them will say “Sorry I betrayed you”

己！オノレ！惚れた？ハレタ？呪え！ノロエ！おろろえー

Bastards! Bastards! In love? Swooning? Damn it! Damn it! Uh huh huh huh
Within my headphones, all I can hear is ____!

恨みつらみ渦巻く世界よ　いっそこの手で終わらせようか
痛みも何も感じなくていい　奈落の底に二人落ちようか
紅く染まる愛しい貴女よ　走馬灯巡る　夜明け

urami tsurami uzumaku sekai yo isso kono te de owaseyou ka
itami mo nani mo kanjinakute ii naraku no soko ni futari ochiyou ka
akaku somaru itoshii anata yo soumatou meguru yoake

It’s a world whirling with resentment – shouldn’t we sooner end it with our own hands?
We don’t need to feel pain or anything else – shall we fall to the depths of hell together?
You’re so lovely dyed crimson – like a revolving lantern comes dawn

せいぜい尻軽　ヤッちゃって？　ちっとも悔しくないDEATH!
むしろ三次のオスとか　興味もクソもないからオーライ

seizei shirigaru yacchatte? chotto mo kuyashikunai DEATH!
mushiro sanji no osu to ka shumi mo kuso mo nai kara oorai

At most you’ve got loose morals? Not at all a regrettable DEATH!
Instead of having a 3D pig, I’ve got no interest in that shit so I’m alright

何がホント！何が嘘で！コレハ…夢か？あばばばー
青春に背を向け　喪がいては逃避行

nani ga honto! nani ga uso de! kore wa… yume ka? abababaa

What’s real? What are lies? Is this a… dream? Abababaa
Ignoring youth, my struggles are an escape

妬み嫉み交わる世界よ　こっちへおいで楽になるから
生まれ変わりまた会える日まで　その唇を永久に塞ごう…

netami sonemi majiwaru sekai yo kocchi e oide raku ni naru kara
umare kawari mata aeru hi made sono kuchibiru o towa ni fusagou

It’s a world crossed with jealousy and envy – Come with me, it’ll be easier that way
Until the day that we’re reborn and meet again let’s seal those lips for eternity…

どうせ、誰も　最期は独り　溺れゆくわ　覚めぬ夢…

douse, daremo saigo wa hitori oboreyuku wa samenu yume…

After all, everyone’s alone during their final hour – We’ll all sink into an unending dream…

脳内ジャック！最高じゃん！　忌みTATION!　廃TENSION!

nounai jakku! saikou jan! imi TATION! hai TENSION!

Brain jack! Isn’t it the best? ImiTATION! High TENSION!

恨みつらみ渦巻く世界よ　いっそこの手で終わらせようか
痛みも何も感じなくていい　奈落の底に二人落ちようか
紅く染まる愛しい貴女よ　走馬灯巡る　夜明け

刹那のMisty | setsuna no Misty | A Misty Moment

Request by Primity. Looks like I couldn’t sleep until I did at least a little bit more editing to this.  Today was supposed to be a day to catch up on my to-do list, but I ended up doing nothing on it. ＿|￣|○

Notes: During the line “もうそれしか聞こえないとナイテタ,” due to “naiteta” being in katakana, it’s a vague meaning. It could mean “cried” or “sang.” It could be interpreted either as the person being driven mad by the song crying that they can’t hear anything but it anymore, or the meaning I currently have in place. I chose this because the rest of the stanza also comes from the perspective of the singer.

闇に揺らめく歌が聞こえた
狂ってゆくもどちらでもない
足は止まらず通り過ぎては
行き交う音にキミはいなくて

yami ni yurameku uta ga kikoeta
kurutte yuku mo dochira demo nai
ashi wa tomarazu toori sugite wa
yuki kau oto ni kimi wa inakute

My song wavering in the darkness could be heard
Even if you turn mad, there’s no other way
Without stopping your feet, passing on through
you’re no longer here for my sound

“hello,my dear friend” 私にコタエテホシイノ

“hello, my dear friend” watashi ni kotaete hoshii no”

“Hello, my dear friend” I want to hear you respond to me

ah,こっちを向いてよ気付いてるでしょ？
ありのままでいいの・・・
もう、歌しか聞こえなくていいよ
キミを狂わせたのはダレナノ？

ah, kocchi o muite yo kidzuiteru desho?
ari no mama de ii no…
mou, uta shika kikoenakute ii yo
kimi o kuruwaseta no wa dare nano?

Ah, face right this way, you notice don’t you?
You’re fine as you are…
It’s alright if you’re deaf to all but the song
Who’s the one that’s driven you mad?

足元にある無数の刹那でさえ　ほらキエテク
月は輝くことさえ忘れてく
私の歌があればそれだけでいい
もうそれしか聞こえないとナイテタ

ashimoto ni aru musuu no setsuna de sae hora kiete ku
tsuki wa kagayaku koto sae wasurete ku
watashi no uta ga areba sore dake de ii
mou sore shika kikoenai to naiteta

Everything down at your feet, look, it’ll vanish before you can start to count
You’ll even forget that the moon shines
As long as you have my song, that alone’s enough
“You won’t hear anything but that anymore” I sang

見上げた空に願いの数だけあるユメ
そこには二人で見るユメなんてないことを
知ってたんだよ　ずっと前から私
ねえ一度でいいから振り向いてよ

mi ageta sora ni negai no kazu dake aru yume
soko ni wa futari de miru yume nante nai koto o
shittetan da yo zutto mae kara watashi
nee ichido de ii kara furi muite yo

You have a dream for every time you pray up to the sky
Those are not the kinds of dreams that I share with you
I’ve known that, all along I have
Hey, just this once I’ll let you take a look back

終わらないでと思えば思うほどに
今、夜明けがキミを優しく包み込んでゆくの
足は止まらず通り過ぎてゆくキミ
もうこの歌聞こえなくなったから

owaranai de to omoeba omou hodo ni
ima, yoake ga kimi o yasashiku tsutsumi konde yuku no
ashi wa tomarazu toori sugite yuku kimi
mou kono uta kikoenaku natta kara

The more I give it though, the more I think “Never end”
but now, the dawn comes to tenderly embrace you
Without stopping your feet, you pass on through
you’ve become unable to hear my song, after all

I think I went in a bit over my head here with this one, so many new words.. Usually in song translations I only come across a small handful. The Mamizou arrange in this album looks like it’s going to be tough too.

Notes: The pororoca is a tidal bore, with waves up to 4 metres high that travel as much as 800 km inland upstream on the Amazon River and adjacent rivers.

遥かな山の麓　光が照らす水面
人間との距離はそっと　平和の雫　潤している

haruka na yama no fumoto hikari ga terasu minamo
hito to no kyori wa sotto heiwa no shizuku uruoshiteiru

Far off at the base of the mountain, where the light shines on the water’s surface
our distance from humans is secretly moistened with drops of harmony

光学迷彩 妖怪弾道　水棲技師
河童よ　人間よ　友情の架け橋は何処？

kougaku meisai youkai dandou suisei gishi
kappa yo hito yo yuujou no kake hashi wa doko?

Optical camouflage – youkai ballistics – aquatic engineers
Where is the suspension bridge for the friendship between kappa and humans?

ゆっくりと　じっくりと　見続けて来た

Slowly and carefully I came to take a gaze
from the shining country under the river

Looking completely like cucumbers

The stream of freezing water, the toughness of cold iron
Always showing signs that our we raise our relationship with humans

幻想幕府　分水境界　伸びる腕
河童よ　人間よ　生命の故郷は其処

gensou bakufu bun sui kyoukai nobiru ude
kappa yo hito yo seimei no furusato wa soko

Illusion shogunates – part water boundaries – our arms are outstretched
Kappa and humans, where we came into existence is over there

大逆流　ポロロッカ　大涙浴びて
水は輪廻と循環の象徴ね

dai gyakuryuu pororokka oonamida abite
mizu wa rinne to junkan no shouchou ne

The giant tidal bore, the pororoca, bathe in that giant wave
Water is the symbol of samsara and cycles

きっちりと　寸分の誤りもなく
物理計算　観測する幻想郷

kicchiri to sunbun no ayamari mo naku
butsuri keisan kansoku suru gensoukyou

Without fail, without the slightest mistake
Gensokyo is observing the calculations of physics

Our hearts are clear in this world of water, the ripples will cure dryness
We’ll give you the key to our “bridge” with the power to satisfy our curious hearts
