English Lyric Translations

散開、シキザクラ | Disperse, Shikizakura

Requested by Alv, this song does not exist on the internet. Vgmdb / youtube / niconico have proven to be essentially useless to me more than I’d like to admit. Due to this, I’m sorry if any of the romaji is inaccurate.

Notes: Shikizakura （四季桜）means “Four season sakura.”

花を身に纏う　小さな飾り
出会いは桜色の空
山道走り抜けたら、二人手をつなごう
空へ散開の舞う花吹雪
頬にポツリ着いた花
心に彩る、ひらり　シキザクラ

hana o mi matou chiisa na kazari
deai wa sakura iro no sora
sandou hashiri nuketara, futari te o tsunagou
sora e sankai no mau hana fubuki
hoo ni potsuri tsuita hana
kokoro ni irodoru, hirari shikizakura

Adorn your body with the flowers, as small decorations
For our meeting, look to the sakura coloured sky
Once you’ve ran through the mountain trail, let’s join our hands
See the blizzard of flowers dancing toward the sky
The flowers that trickle onto your cheek
Adding colour to hearts, they’re graceful shikizakura

暖かい風を抱いた
私の知る季節とは違う
鮮やかな色を纏う
半年前の私みたい

atatakai kaze o idaita
watashi no shiru kisetsu to wa chigau
azayaka na iro o matou
hannen mae no watashi mitai

I embraced the warm wind
This is different from the season I know
Adorned in vivid colours
it’s just as I was half a year ago

まだ少し肌寒いなんて
私の季節と同じだね

mada sukoshi hada samui nante
watashi no kisetsu to onaji da ne

To think it’s still a bit chilly
It’s just like my own season

10月にも咲いてたよ
髪に着く桜の花びら

juugatsu ni mo saiteta yo
kami ni tsuku sakura no hanabira

They had also bloomed in October
The petals of these sakura sitting in my hair

春が私を過ぎても記憶に強く残るよ
何度でも何度も会いにいくよ

haru ga watashi o sugitemo kioku ni nokoru yo
nando demo nando mo ai ni iku yo

Though spring passes me by, they’ll remain strongly in my memory
Time and time again, I would go to see them

花を身に纏う　小さな飾り
出会いは桜色の空
山道走り抜けたら、二人手を…

hana o mi matou chiisa na kazari
deai wa sakura iro no sora
sandou hashiri nuketara, futari te o…

Adorn your body with the flowers, as small decorations
For our meeting, look to the sakura coloured sky
Once you’ve ran through the mountain trail, let’s join our…

空へ散開の舞う花吹雪
頬にポツリ着いた花
心、ひらり舞うよ　シキザクラ

sora e sankai no mau hana fubuki
hoo ni potsuri tsuita hana
kokoro ni irodoru, hirari shikizakura

See the blizzard of flowers dancing toward the sky
The flowers that trickle onto your cheek
Dancing, lightly to your heart, they’re shikizakura

Few errors in my by-ear transcription fixed, Nachi’s voice is not easy to transcribe. Man, the Alst album this time around sure is better than FLASHLIGHT, not to mention the original POP | CULTURE. I’m especially enjoying “Sensitive Crisis,” despite not normally being a fan of the style.

Note: I am not going to be spacing out Comiket 87 Alstroemeria Records translations. When I get lyrics for these, I am marathon posting right away. Same with ZYTOKINE, of course.

ここからは一人で　歩むことを誓う
君の手を離した　心離れずに
残された思い出　今も消えないでいるよ
すべてを塗り替えて　すべて白にして

koko kara wa hitori de ayumu koto o chikau
kimi no te o hanashita kokoro hanarezu ni
nokosareta omoide ima mo kienai de iru yo
subete o nuri kaete subete shiro ni shite

Vowing to walk on without you, all alone here on out
I let go of your hand without moving on emotionally
Even now I’m left unable to erase these left behind memories
Coat everything over, turn it all white

景色を白に変えて　リセットしたい心も
降り積もる雪のよう　心は重いままで
何度も叫んでいた　君の名を呼んでいた
それはひとつの終わり　後悔が積もるだけ

keshiki o shiro ni kaete risetto shitai kokoro mo
furi tsumoru yuki no you kokoro wa omoi mama de
nando mo sakendeita kimi no na o yondeita
sore wa hitotsu no owari koukai ga tsumoru dake

Turn the scenery all white, and the heart I want to reset
Just like a fresh layer of snow, my heart remains heavy
Over and over I shouted, called out your name
That was my single ending, and the regrets just pile up

これからは一人で　雪の中を歩く
暖かい君の手　今夜はもうない
残された思いは　少しずつ消えていくの
でもすべての記憶　雪が刻んでた

kore kara wa hitori de yuki no naka o aruku
atatakai kimi no te konya wa mou nai
nokosareta omoi wa sukoshi zutsu kiete yuku no
demo subete no kioku yuki ga kizandeta

From now on, I walk through the snow alone
Tonight I don’t have your warm hand to hold on to
Will my remaining thoughts disappear little by little?
All my memories are marked by the snow though

忘れたいこの想い　何度も思い出して
降り積もる雪はまた　私を惑わさせる
白い悪、そんな雪　私はそう思えた
それはひとつの終わり　忘れない胸の傷

wasuretai kono omoi nando mo omoi dashite
furi tsumoru yuki wa mata watashi o madowasaseru
shiroi aku sonna yuki watashi wa sou omoeta
sore wa hitotsu no owari wasurenai mune no kizu

I recall the memories I want to forget over and over
The snow falling at my feet causes me to lose my way again
“It’s white evil, that snow,” I considered it so
That was my single ending, the unforgettable scar in my heart

それでも降り続く　全てを白にして
私の心だけ　白にはなれないの
貴方を手放した　後戻りできない
何度も手を伸ばし　触れては解けてゆく

sore demo furi tsudzuku subete o shiro ni shite
watashi no kokoro dake shiro ni wa narenai no
anata o tebanashita ato modori dekinai
nando mo te o nobashi furete wa tokete yuku

It continues to snow anyways, turning everything white
Is my heart the only thing unable to turn white?
I let go of your hand, there’s no going back anymore
I reach my hand out countlessly, and it melts at a touch

このまま眠りたい　すべてを忘れたい
貴方といた記憶　それも溶かしたいの
触れては消える雪　消えないこの記憶
消えない消せないよ　白い雪の記憶

kono mama nemuritai subete o wasuretai
anata to ita kioku sore mo tokashitai no
furete wa kieru yuki kienai kono kioku
kienai kisenai yo shiroi yuki no kioku

I want to sleep as it is, I want to forget everything
The memories of being with you, I want those to melt too
Snow that melts at a touch, and my unfading memories
They won’t go, and I can’t make them
My white snow memories

Infinite Being

Looks like this song isn’t on youtube yet, somehow. I just love the name of this song, it’s a very awe-inspiring title. An “infinite being” sounds even more powerful than a god, if you were to ask me. The final stanza is the best part of it.

Time goes by, and follow
There is always me in a dream
Gather in a dark night
I don’t need to die in a dream

Dream does not fade away
Dance a beloved servant a dark night
Gather in a dark night
Because there is the fantasy

Time goes by, and follow
There is always me in a dream
Gather in a dark night
I don’t need to die in a dream

悲しい夢は　見せないわ
癒してあげる　私が
幻想の地で　舞えばいい私と
夢幻の時と　罰と闇
終わらぬ時が　あるから
幻想の地の　永遠よ　私は

kanashii yume wa misenai wa
iyashite ageru watashi ga
gensou no chi de maeba ii watashi to
mugen no toki to batsu to yami
owaranu toki ga aru kara
gensou no chi no eien yo watashi wa

I won’t show you any sad dreams
I’ll be the one to heal all of your wounds
It’s best to dance on these fantastic grounds here with me
The time, punishment, and darkness is dreamlike
We have unlimited time after all
I am the eternity of this land of fantasy

Wheel of Fortune

Requested by Niniva Chan, this song sure has a lot of sexual undertones. You might also notice it’s a Syrufit arrange rather than Alst. The lyrics sound like a standard Alst song for the most part, but I could really feel the difference in lyrical style between Mei Ayakura and Haruka.
In other news, this new less conservative way of translation I’ve started going with has been going great.

☆ Title: Wheel of Fortune
★Album: Plastik World
☆ Album Artist: Alstroemeria Records

時は来た　終わりの始まりから
手を引かれ　優しい光の先
薄暗い部屋には　揺れる陽炎
目覚めた時から　幸せでした

toki wa kita owari no hajimari kara
te o hikare yasashii hikari no saki
usu gurai heya ni wa yureru kagerou
mezameta toki kara shiawase deshita

The time has come, ever since the beginning of the end
I’m pulled by the hand to a gentle light
Mirages dance in the dull, dark room
Ever since I awoke, I’ve been happy

静けさと温度が　重なる時
何よりも偉大な　あなたの元
側にいる許しを　得られた事の
誇りに代わりは　あるのでしょうか？

shizukesa to ondo ga kasanaru toki
nani yori mo idai na anata no moto
soba ni iru yurushi o erareta koto no
hokori ni kawari wa aru no deshou ka?

When the silence and temperature overlap
I want to be by your great side more than anything
Is there such thing as a replacement for
the pride in having earned my place next to you?

潜む影
凍てつく囁きは
途切れ途切れ
また　近づく
嗄れる声
ずっと守ってきた場所
壊さないで

hisomu kage
ite tsuku sasayaki wa
togire togire
mata chikadzuku
kareru koe
zutto mamotte kita basho
kowasanai de

Your shadow lurks
Your freezing whispers
disconnected
come close again
I beg with a hoarse voice
“Please don’t ruin the place
that I’ve always protected”

紅く紅く紅く紅く染められ
雫雫雫雫は泪
落ちる落ちる落ちる落ちる白い羽根
あるはずの光はどこに
止まる止まる止まる止まることなく
めぐるめぐるめぐるめぐる輪廻に
全て全て全て全て委ねよう
見届ける今　そのままを

akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni
subete subete subete subete yudaneyou
mi todokeru ima sono mama o

Stained, stained, stained, stained blood-red
The drops, the drops, the drops, the drops that drip are tears
Pure wings, pure wings, pure wings, pure feathers fall
Where’s all the light that I thought would be here?
The cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle repeats
going on, going on, going on, going on, without an end
Shall we, shall we, shall we, shall we leave everything to it?
I’ll see it through, as it is now

初めから　終わりは変わらぬ事実（こと）
願っても叶わぬ　強がりより
何よりも弱いと　気付いたのです
このままではその手を　掴めない

hajime kara owari wa kawaranu koto
negattemo kanawanu tsuyogari yori
nani yori mo yowai to kidzuita no desu
kono mama de wa sono te o tsukamenai

From the beginning, the end has been an unchangeable truth
Wishing won’t do any good to grant my prayers
I’ve realized I’m more weak than anything, than my act
I can’t take your hand like this

運命は
生まれた刹那から
必然か、と
誰が問うの？
繰り返す
ずっと守ってきた場所
汚さないで、と

unmei wa
umareta setsuna kara
hitsuzen ka, to
dare ga tou no?
kuri kaesu
zutto mamotte kita basho
yogosanai de, to

Who is it
that asks if from the moment of birth
destiny is
inevitable?
Repeating
“Please don’t defile the place
that I’ve always protected”

紅く紅く紅く紅く染められ
雫雫雫雫は泪
落ちる落ちる落ちる落ちる白い羽根
あるはずの光はどこに
止まる止まる止まる止まることなく
めぐるめぐるめぐるめぐる輪廻に
全て全て全て全て委ねよう
見届ける今　そのままを

akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni
subete subete subete subete yudaneyou
mi todokeru ima sono mama o

Stained, stained, stained, stained blood-red
The drops, the drops, the drops, the drops that drip are tears
Pure wings, pure wings, pure wings, pure feathers fall
Where’s all the light that I thought would be here?
The cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle repeats
going on, going on, going on, going on, without an end
Shall we, shall we, shall we, shall we leave everything to it?
