The theme of “Harmony.” As you probably know by now, I’m addicted to Haruka’s lyrics. For some reason, they feel really cathartic to translate.

そう夢見る今私は ほら崩れて消えてしまうの?
でも飛び立つきっと必ずいつかここから
-だから夢見てる-

sou yume miru ima watashi wa hora kuzurete kiete shimau no?
demo tobi tatsu kitto kanarazu itsu ka koko kara
-dakara yume miteru-

As I so dream now, will I end up fading away? Just look, I’m falling apart
But surely I’ll take flight, for certain someday, away from here
-As said, I’m dreaming-

今あなたの空飛び立つ そう私にきっとできるの
ほら折れてるこの翼も いつか飛べるわ
———

ima anata no sora tobi tatsu sou watashi ni kitto dekiru no
hora oreteru kono tsubasa mo itsu ka toberu wa
———

To fly away to your sky now, yes, I’m sure for me it’s possible
Look, one day even with my broken wings I’ll be able to fly
———

Stay… there wants to be me near your life
I do not give up surely flying
Because it is place where you are
Fly High. I can fly with the damaged feather

I can fly　きっとあなたへ飛び立つ
この声で貴方信じ
I can fly　ずっと歌い続けたい
Harmony to play for you…

I can fly kitto anata e tobi tatsu
kono koe de anata shinji
I can fly zutto utai tsudzuketai
Harmony to play for you…

I can fly, I’m sure, taking off to you
believing in you with my voice
I can fly, I want to sing forever
Harmony to play for you…

ねぇ壊れたそう私は
空飛ぶこときっとできるの?
ねぇあなたの夢重ねて きっといつかは
-だから夢見てる-

nee kowareta sou watashi wa
sora tobu koto kitto dekiru no?
nee anata no yume kasanete kitto itsu ka wa
-dakara yume miteru-

Hey, I’m broken, as such
can I really fly through the sky?
Hey, we’ll share the same dream, I’m sure someday
-As said, I’m dreaming-

ほら空へと今舞う事 もう私じゃきっとできない?
ねぇ私のこの翼で 想い重ねて
———

hora sora e to ima mau koto mou watashi ja kitto dekinai?
nee watashi no kono tsubasa de omoi kasanete
———

Look, is it certain that now I can’t fly to the sky anymore?
Hey, with my very own wings, our feelings overlapping
———

Stay… there wants to be me near your life
I do not give up surely flying
Because it is place where you are
Fly High. I can fly with the damaged feather

I can fly　きっとあなたへ飛び立つ
この声で貴方信じ
I can fly　ずっと歌い続けたい
Harmony to play for you…

I can fly kitto anata e tobi tatsu
kono koe de anata shinji
I can fly zutto utai tsudzuketai
Harmony to play for you…

I can fly, I’m sure, taking off towards you
believing in you with my voice
I can fly, I want to sing forever
Harmony to play for you…

I can fly　きっとあなたへ飛び立つ
この羽で貴方信じ
I can fly　ずっと歌い続けたい
Harmony to play for you…

I believe I can fly kitto anata e tobi tatsu
kono hane de anata shinji
I can fly zutto utai tsudzuketai
Harmony to play for you…

I believe I can fly, I’m sure, taking off towards you
believing in you with my feathers
I can fly, I want to sing forever
Harmony to play for you…

非統一魔法世界論 | Un-Unified Magic World Theory

Another Dimensional Dream song! Lot’s of jargon in this one.
Not embedding the full song this time, but instead a PV, because it’s cool.

I thought I saw a translation of this somewhere before, but I couldn’t find it again, so here we are.

Notes: I disagree with the “official” title translation, “Disunified Field Theory of Magic,” personally, but you’ll commonly see that used.

”Crashin’ the Gate!!”

今　起こりうること
すべて受け入れてしまえば
何も恐くはない
そうでしょ？

ima okori uru koto
subete uke irete shimaeba
nani mo kowaku wa nai
sou desho?

If you completely accept
all that can possibly happen now
there’s nothing to be afraid of
Isn’t that right?

まだ　常識の檻に
囚われたままでいたなら
哀れな子羊ね

mada joushiki no ori ni
torawareta mama de ita nara
aware na kohitsuji ne

If I had remained still trapped
in the cage of common sense
wouldn’t I be a pitiful lamb

光の速さで　追い越すほどアツい加速
時空乱流　乗りこなして
タラレバの願望　辿り着けたら
夢見のリアル

hikari no hayasa de oi kosu hodo atsui kasoku
jikuu ranryuu nori konashite
tarareba no yokubou tadori tsuketara
yume mi no riaru

At the speed of light, with heated acceleration to the extent of going beyond
riding and breaking through space-time turbulance
when we can reach our hypothetical aspiration,
our dreamt reality

”可能性世界”　並行世界
”変性意識で”　通常意識で
”アクセスしてみたい”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“kanousei sekai” heikou seikai
“hensei ishiki de” tsuujou ishiki de
“akusesu shite mitai”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“The possible worlds” The parallel worlds
“with altered consciousness” with normal consciousness
“I want to try accessing them”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

”多世界解釈を”　矛盾解釈を
”抽象レべルで”　情報レべルで
”レイヤーしてみたら”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
パラレルの軌跡

“tasekai kaishaku o” mujun kaishaku o
“chuushou reberu de” jouhou reberu de”
“reiyaa shite mitara”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
parareru no kiseki

“The many-worlds interpretation” A paradoxical interpretation
“on the abstract level” on the information level
“I better try to layer it”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate

”Crashin’ the Gate!!”

ただ　心の中に
新たな宇宙が生まれて
消えて　また　生まれる
それだけ

tada kokoro no naka ni
arata na uchuu ga umarete
kiete mata umareru
sore dake

It’s just that in my heart
new universes are born
disappear and are born again
That’s all

異を唱える勇気で
嘲りの中を逞しく
生き抜いて来たから

i o tonaeru yuuki de
azakeri no naka o takamashiku
iki nuite kita kara

With the courage to challenge the norm
I boldly lived through the ridicule
and came here after all

歩き疲れた哀れな驢馬　サムい孤独
歪曲率　激化させて
デモシカの感情　辿り着けたら
夢見がリアル

aruki tsukareta aware na roba samui kodoku
waikyokuritsu gekika sasete
demoshika no kanjou tadori tsuketara
yumemi no riaru

Like a donkey tired from walking, in cold solitude
causing the distortion rate to intensify
when we can reach the only emotion to be had,
our dreamt reality

”多重次元世界”　余剰次元世界
”量子力学で”　波動力学で
”アナウンスしてみよう”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“tajuu jigen sekai” yojuu jigen sekai
“ryoushirikigaku de” hadourikigaku de
“anaunsu shite miyou”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“Multi-dimensional worlds” Extra dimensional worlds
“with quantum mechanics” with wave mechanics
“let’s try to announce it”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

”演繹理論を”　帰納理論を
”天文レべルで”　素粒子レべルで
”アナライズしてみよう”
Whenever…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
シリアルな履歴

“eneki riron o” kinou riron o
“tenmon reberu de” soryuushi reberu de
“ananraizu shite miyou”
Whenever…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
shiriaru na rireki

“A deductive theory” An inductive theory

Requested by IMGVERTEX, I need to do more Infect Paranoia songs, especially Blue Sky.

Notes: I do not know how the sun gave off a smell.
First off, it’s far, far away.
Secondly, hydrogen is an odourless gas.
Please do not be suspicious of my work’s quality. I can guarantee this line’s translation is 100% accurate.
I’m a scientist.

ねぇ　僕が大人になる頃の世界は
今とは違う景色なのかな？

nee boku ga otona ni naru koro no sekai wa
ima to wa chigau keshiki nano kana?

Hey, when I become a grown-up, will the world
look different than it does now?

ねぇ　パパとママの言う　「いい子になること」
それが何を意味するかなんて
知らんぶりしてた日々に
言い訳ばかりしてたよ
数々の失敗たちを
毛布押し込めた

nee papa to mama no iu 「ii ko ni naru koto」
sore ga nani o imi suru ka nante
shiran buri shiteta hibi ni
iiwake bakari shiteta yo
kazukazu no shippai tachi o
moufu oshi kometa

Hey, “becoming a good girl” like papa and mama say
What does that mean? Such things
I pretended not to know, during those days
I did nothing but make excuses
All the many mistakes I made
I smothered in my blanket

何も喋らない君の
右手をぎゅっと握って
お日様の匂いがする

nani mo shaberanai kimi no
migite o gyutto nigitte
ohisama no nioi ga suru

Holding your right hand tightly
as you don’t say a word
the sun makes a smell

そっと目を閉じた
夢見てnighty-night
２人のnighty-night
君とのdreamy-night

sotto me o tojita
yume mite nighty-night
futari no nighty-night
kimi to no dreamy-night

Gently I closed my eyes
Dreaming, nighty-night
Together, nighty-night
With you, dreamy-night

ねぇ　僕が消えていなくなっても世界は
何も変わらず時が過ぎるの？

nee boku ga kiete inaku nattemo sekai wa
nani mo kawarazu toki ga sugiru no?

Hey, even if I come back, will time go by
without the world changing at all?

ねぇ　いつか大きな声で笑えること
信じるまま探してみたんだ
後悔したくないけど
飛び越えたい思いたち
選択できない答え
枕押しこめた
優しく微笑む君と
星空を見上げながら
明日もいい日になるよ

nee itsu ka ooki na koe de waraeru koto
shinjiru mama sagashite mita n da
koukai shitakunai kedo
tobikoetai omoi tachi
sentaku dekinai kotae
makura oshi kometa
yasashiku hohoemu kimi to
hoshizora o mi agenagara
ashita mo ii hi ni naru yo

Hey, I tried to search believing I’ll be able to
laugh with a loud voice someday
I don’t want to regret anything
but my thoughts want to take off
I took the response I couldn’t choose
and shoved it in my pillow
With you smiling kindly
while looking up at the starry sky
tomorrow will be another good day

そっと目を閉じた
夢見てnighty-night
２人のnighty-night
君とのdreamy-night

sotto me o tojita
yume mite nighty-night
futari no nighty-night
kimi to no dreamy-night

Gently I closed my eyes
Dreaming, nighty-night
Together, nighty-night
With you, dreamy-night

不安な言葉もいつか
鮮やかに染まっていく
明日の景色描いて
パジャマ着替えたら

fuan na kotoba mo itsu ka
azayaka ni somatte iku
ashita no keshiki egaite
pajama ki gaetara

Even anxious words will someday
will be coloured vividly
Picturing tomorrow’s scenery
when I change into my pajamas

何も喋らない君の
右手をぎゅっと握って
お日様の匂いがする
そっと目を閉じた

nani mo shaberanai kimi no
migite o gyutto nigitte
ohisama no nioi ga suru
sotto me o tojita

Holding your right hand tightly
as you don’t say a word
the sun makes a smell
Gently, I closed my eyes

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.

何処にいるのかも知らず
欲望に囚われた
辿り着くことは出来ず
その身を焦がして堕ちてゆく

doko ni iru no ka mo shirazu
yokubou ni torawareta
tadori tsuku koto wa dekizu
sono mi o kogashite ochite yuku

Not even knowing where you are
you were caught in desire
Being unable to make it
your body will fall, in agony

教えを請うもの 拒みはしない
最果てで 狂いながら

oshie o kou mono kobami wa shinai
saihate de kuruinagara

I won’t reject those who beg for teaching
while going mad at the furthest ends

グルグル 定まらず 自分を失くして
坊径い 帰れない一人の旅人
バラバラ 崩れてく 目の前幻
何処まで行けばいい？ 答えのないまま

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

グルグル 廻り出す言葉を噛み締め
自分が望むもの それさえ曖昧
バラバラ気付かずに 元には戻れず
それすら信仰と崇めて消えてく

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
