向着黎明奔去 | Running Towards the Dawn (Short Ver.)

Eden Treaty is really good. Unfortunately Arius’s theme of futility rings a little too close to home as my country continues to deteriorate. There is only loss.

Being only the short version and using the MV as a lyrics source, this will be a bit ghetto. I will edit it for perfection and completion as more is revealed.

☆ Title: 向着黎明奔去

遠く朧に浮かぶ　灯かりを
眺めて溜め息つく
過ぎし日の過ちの　記憶に
苛まれ　苦しんでた　時もあったね

tooku oboro ni ukabu akari o
nagamete tameiki tsuku
sugishihi no ayamachi no kioku ni
sainamare kurushindeta toki mo atta ne

I sigh as I gaze upon the dim light
looming in the distance
There have been times when I’ve suffered,
tormented by memories of past mistakes

迷いを捨てて　恐れを捨てて
走ってく　もう　二度と振り返りはしない

mayoi o sutete osore o sutete
hashitte ku mou nido to furi kaeri wa shinai

I’ll cast away any hesitation, I’ll cast away any fear
and run on, never to look back again

決意は揺るがない　信じた選択の
先にあるものが　償いの
茨道だとしても
かまわないよ

ketsui wa yuruganai shinjita sentaku no
saki ni aru mono ga tsugunai no
ibaramichi da to shitemo
kamawanai yo

My resolve won’t shake – Even if what lies ahead
of the decision I believe in
is a thorny road of redemption
I don’t care

涙を拭いて　立ち上がるんだ　絆を胸に
手を取りあって　微笑みあって
挫けずに　前へ進め
たとえどんなに　長い夜でも　乗り越えられる
もうすぐ　光に満ちあふれた　朝が来る

namida o fuite tachi agaru n da kizuna o mune ni
te o tori atte hohoemi atte
kujikezu ni mae e susume
tatoe donna ni nagai yoru demo nori koerareru
mou sugu hikari ni michi afureta asa ga kuru

Wipe your tears and stand up – With our bonds in our hearts
hand in hand, smiling together
without losing hope, move forward!
No matter how long the night may be, we can make it through
Soon a morning bursting with light will come

青く広がる　空を見上げて　絆を胸に
手を取りあって　微笑みあって
どこまでも　　前へ進め
たとえどんなに　長い道でも　乗り越えられる
まぶしい　光に満ちあふれた　未来へと

aoku hirogaru sora o mi agete kizuna o mune ni
te o tori atte hohoemi atte
doko made mo mae e susume
tatoe donna ni nagai michi demo nori koerareru
mabushii hikari ni michi afureta mirai e to

Look up at the wide blue sky – With bonds in our hearts
hand in hand, smiling together
move forward no matter how far you have to go!
No matter how long the road may be, we can make it through
Towards a future bursting with bright light

Commissioned translation. This may be my favourite Asriel album.

☆ Title: Secret Promise
★ Album: 汝を照らす朧のアリア
☆ Album Artist: Asriel
★ Vocals and lyrics: KOKOMI
☆ Arrangement and composition: 黒瀬圭亮 (Kurose Keisuke)

その仕草を　その涙を
分かって　君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように　無邪気に笑う

sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki ni warau

Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, I smile innocently

作り込むほどに　見えなくなった
君の有りの侭は何処？
誰のコピーが欲しいの？

tsukuri komu hodo ni mienaku natta
kimi no ari no mama wa doko?
dare no kopii ga hoshii no?

The more you acted perfect, the less I could see you
Where is your true self?
Who do you want to copy?

変わらずにそのまま　変わらずに一緒に
懐かしい場所がある

kawarazu ni sono mama kawarazu ni issho ni
natsukashii basho ga aru

The same as always, together as always
There’s a place nostalgic to us

その仕草を　その涙を
分かって　君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように　無邪気なままで

sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki na mama de

Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, remaining innocent

伝えたいフレーズより
溢れる想いが先走る
その声が　そのリアルが　ズルく笑いかける
伝えたいこの想いに　相応しい言葉はなく
手を取って捧ぐ誓い　形の無い Ring に

tsutaetai fureezu yori
afureru omoi ga sakibashiru
sono koe ga sono riaru ga zuruku warai kakeru
tsutaetai kono omoi ni fusawashii kotoba wa naku
te o totte sasagu chikai katachi no nai Ring ni

Overflowing emotions jump out
before the phrase I want to tell you
Your voice, your reality, laughs at me slyly
There are no fitting words for these feelings I want to convey
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form

ありったけ並べ　選んでみても
君が本当に欲しいモノは
僕は分からない

arittake narabe erande mitemo
kimi ga hontou ni hoshii mono wa
boku wa wakaranai

Even if I lay everything out and try to decide
I don’t understand what it is
that you truly want

変わらないはずでも　人は何故その侭いられない
僕も同じ？

kawaranai hazu demo hito wa naze sono mama irarenai
boku mo onaji?

Why can’t people stay the same even though they shouldn’t change?
Am I the same?

その想いも　その姿も
消え去る日がくるの PromiseRing
その前触れをかき消すよう　強くなりたい

sono omoi mo sono sugata mo
kie saru hi ga kuru no PromiseRing
sono maebure o kaki kesu you tsuyoku naritai

A promise ring for the day
when your feelings and your figure vanishes
I want to become strong so I can stamp out any indication

それぞれの道の先が
真逆に進んでいてもいい
その先で　その未来で　また出会えるのなら
この瞬間のこの気持ちを　ずっと持ち続けていたい
手を取って捧ぐ誓い　形の無い Ring に

sorezore no michi no saki ga
magyaku ni susundeitemo ii
sono saki de sono mirai de mata de aeru nara
kono toki no kono kimochi o zutto mochi tsudzuketeitai
te o totte sasagu chikai katachi no nai Ring ni

It doesn’t matter
if our paths go in opposite directions
as long as we can meet again at the end, in the future
I want to keep holding on to the feelings I have in this moment forever
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form

光にかざす手に　刻み付けた印

hikari ni kazasu te ni kizami tsuketa shirushi

A pledge engraved in your hand, held up to the light

その仕草を　その涙を
分かって　君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように　無邪気なままで

sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki na mama de

Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, remaining innocent

伝えたいフレーズより
溢れる想いが先走る
その声が　そのリアルが　ズルく笑いかける
伝えたいこの想いに　相応しい言葉はなく
手を取って捧ぐ誓い　形の無い Ring に

tsutaetai fureezu yori
afureru omoi ga sakibashiru
sono koe ga sono riaru ga zuruku warai kakeru
tsutaetai kono omoi ni fusawashii kotoba wa naku
te o totte sasagu chikai katachi no nai Ring ni

Overflowing emotions jump out
before the phrase I want to tell you
Your voice, your reality, laughs at me slyly
There are no fitting words for these feelings I want to convey
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form

見つけに行こう　照らす道の先に
再び僕らは出会うだろう
何故だかそう　僕はただ　信じているんだ
君を　僕のエゴだとしても
光をそこに感じた

mitsuke ni yukou terasu michi no saki ni
futatabi bokura wa de au darou
naze da ka sou boku wa tada shinjiteiru n da
kimi o boku no ego da to shitemo
hikari o soko ni kanjita

Let’s go in search to the ends of this illuminated road
Chances are we’ll meet once again
How do I know? I simply believe so
Even if it’s just my ego,
I felt you, I felt the light there

Commissioned translation. I love the way the song ends after the final verse.

☆ Title: LostMoon
★ Album: Oratorium
☆ Album Artist: Asriel
★ Vocals and lyrics: KOKOMI
☆ Arrangement and composition: Kurose Keisuke (黒瀬圭亮)

眠りの中で私とあなた
いまひとつになりましょう

nemuri no naka de watashi to anata
ima hitotsu ni narimashou

Let you and I now become one
as we sleep

乾ききったグロスを塗りなおし微笑む
鏡越し見ゆる　愛しい姿
快適な温度　少し熱いくらい
頭の感覚鈍らせて

kawaki kitta gurosu o nuri naoshi hohoemu
kagami goshi miyuru itoshii sugata
kaiteki na ondo sukoshi atsui kurai
atama no kankaku niburasete

I smile after reapplying gloss that dried up
On the other side of the mirror, I can see a lovely figure
The temperature is just right – a little on the hot side
numbing the feeling in my head

退屈な話は嫌　埋め尽くして満たして

taikutsu na hanashi wa iya ume tsukushite mitashite

I don’t want to talk about something boring, fill and fulfill me

今夜の月は満月だそうよ　気付いた？

konya no tsuki wa mangetsu da sou yo kidzuita?

Tonight is supposed to be a full moon, were you aware?

真っ赤に真っ赤に　昂る夜
弾く純潔の花
Moon is hiding, but 曝す月光に
間違いじゃないと教えて欲しい
耳に胸に轟く
その愛は　いつまでも呼ぶ
私を私だけを　誰にも教えない声

makka ni makka ni takaburu yoru
hajiku junketsu no hana
Moon is hiding, but sarasu gekkou ni
machigai janai to oshiete hoshii
mimi ni mune ni todoroku
sono ai wa itsu made mo yobu
watashi o watashi dake o dare ni mo oshienai koe

Red, a night bright red with passion
A snapping flower of purity
The moon is hiding, but in the revealing moonlight
I want you to let me know this isn’t a mistake
Roaring in my ears and chest,
your love always calls out
for me, and me alone, with a voice you’ll let no one else hear

欲しがりの私は我慢を知らなくて
困らせてばかり　わかってるけど
感覚は慣れで　身体で覚えるの
頭の理解は後でいい

hoshigari no watashi wa gaman o shiranakute
komarasete bakari wakatteru kedo
kankaku wa nare de karada de oboeru no
atama no rikai wa ato de ii

Needy as I am, I don’t know restraint
All I do is inconvenience you, but I understand
Feeling is learned through experience, through doing
Understanding it mentally can wait till later

不安は時の迷いで　噂は街の華

fuan wa toki no mayoi de uwasa wa machi no hana

Anxiety is hesitation in time, and rumours are flowers of the town

今夜の月はとても綺麗だね　感じて？

konya no tsuki wa totemo kirei da ne kanjite?

The moon is very pretty tonight – feel it?

狂おしいほど狂いてみなさい
恥じぬ巣食う花びら
Moon is hiding, but 隠しても暴く
やわい言葉じゃもう足りなくて
染み付く香り移す
その愛は　命の媚薬
私を私だけを　生かせる秘め事

kuruoshii hodo kuruite minasai
hajinu sukuu hanabira
Moon is hiding, but kakushitemo abaku
yawai kotoba ja mou tarinakute
shimi tsuku kaori utsusu
sono ai wa inochi no biyaku
watashi o watashi dake o ikaseru himegoto

Try going wild to the point of madness
A flower petal nesting unashamed
The moon is hiding, but even so, I’ll reveal it
Soft words aren’t enough anymore
Your permeating scent transfers
Your love is life’s aphrodisiac
A secret that gives me, and me alone, life

真っ赤に真っ赤な夜　二人事
今夜の満月のせいにして
Moon is hiding, but 照らされるがまま
間違いじゃないと教えて欲しい
耳に胸に轟く
その愛は　命の媚薬に
私を私だけを　狂わせて生かせるの

makka ni makka na yoru futari goto
konya no mangetsu no sei ni shite
Moon is hiding, but terasareru ga mama
machigai janai to oshiete hoshii
mimi ni mune ni todoroku
sono ai wa inochi no biyaku ni
watashi o watashi dake o kuruwasete ikaseru no

Red, a night bright red just between us
Blame the full moon tonight
The moon is hiding, but we go along with being shone upon
I want you to let me know this isn’t a mistake
Roaring in my ears and chest,
your love becomes life’s aphrodisiac
that gives me, and me alone, drives me mad and gives me life

微かな記憶の片隅
名前も知らないあの花

kasuka na kioku no katasumi
namae mo shiranai ano hana

In the faint corners of my memory
That flower whose name I don’t know

違う別の知らない世界が何処かにあって
やり直せるならば何を思う

chigau betsu no shiranai sekai ga doko ka ni atte
yari naoseru naraba nani o omou

If there were a different, unknown world out there somewhere
and I could do things over again, what would I think

混ざらない色はひとつも無くて
綺麗に塗ることは少し難しい

mazaranai iro wa hitotsu mo nakute
kirei ni nuru koto wa sukoshi muzukashii

It’s a little difficult to paint neatly
when every colour mixes together

都合のいい可能性だけを残し
夢を見ていただけ

tsugou no ii kanousei dake o nokoshi
yume o miteita dake

I had only been dreaming
ignoring inconvenient possibilities

壊れた想いが揺らめき続けて
瞬く間に変わってしまった
幾千の願い途絶えたあの日に
描いた未来の行方は

kowareta omoi ga yurameki tsudzukete
matataku aida ni kawatte shimatta
ikusen no negai todaeta ano hi ni
egaita mirai no yukue wa

Shattered hopes continued to flicker
In the blink of an eye, things changed completely
The day the thousands of wishes ceased
was the turning point for the future I pictured

違う別の知らない世界が何処かにあって
やり直せるならば何を思う

chigau betsu no shiranai sekai ga doko ka ni atte
yari naoseru naraba nani o omou

If there were a different, unknown world out there somewhere
and I could do things over again, what would I think

壊れた想いが揺らめき続けて
瞬く間に変わってしまった
幾千の願い途絶えたあの日に
描いた未来の行方は

kowareta omoi ga yurameki tsudzukete
matataku aida ni kawatte shimatta
ikusen no negai todaeta ano hi ni
egaita mirai no yukue wa

Shattered hopes continued to flicker
In the blink of an eye, things changed completely
The day the thousands of wishes ceased
was the turning point for the future I pictured
