Another one of Amen’s Unpublished Translations. This one began as a by-ear transcription.

That feeling of wanting to be more and reach your full potential never seems to go away, does it.

この右手で　一つ　掴めるものなんて
きっと　小さなもので　きっと　大事なものね

kono migite de hitotsu tsukameru mono nante
kitto chiisa na mono de kitto daiji na mono ne

If there’s one thing I can grasp with this right hand of mine
I’m sure it’s something small and something important

ハジマリ　オワリ　だなんて
気にしない　生き方がいいね

hajimari owari da nante
ki ni shinai ikikata ga ii ne

It’s best to live not caring
about beginnings, endings and such

過ぎ去った日々に残る
香りだけに（甘えたいけど…）

sugi satta hibi ni nokoru
kaori dake ni (amaetai kedo…)

Though I’d like to lean on the aroma
left in days long gone…

手招きたい　手招きたい　のは
手招きたい　手招きたい　のは
なぜ　なぜ　なぜ　なぜ
不思議　不思議　不思議

temanekitai temanekitai no ha
temanekitai temanekitai no ha
naze naze naze naze
fushigi fushigi fushigi

I want to beckon, I want to beckon
I want to beckon, I want to beckon
But why? But why? But why? But why?
It’s a mystery – mystery – mystery

抱きしめたい　愛おしい　のに
こんなにも　泣きたい　のは
なぜ　なぜ　なぜ　なぜ

daki shimetai itooshii noni
konna ni mo nakitai no wa
naze naze naze naze

I want to embrace you, and it feels precious
and yet I want to cry so much
But why? But why? But why? But why?

気づかないまま　消えた　虹の彼方

kidzukanai mama kieta niji no kanata

As I was unaware, it disappeared over the rainbow

もっと　上手になりたいの…
もっと　遠くに行きたいの…
もっと　幸せになりたいの…

motto jouzu ni naritai no…
motto tooku ni ikitai no…
motto shiawase ni naritai no…

I want to become even more skilled…
I want to go even further…
I want to become even happier…

未来はきっと　虹の彼方

mirai wa kitto niji no kanata

The future surely lies over the rainbow

この左手　一つ　描けるものなんて
もっと　あるはずだけど　きっと　それでもよくて

kono hidarite hitotsu egakeru mono nante
motto aru hazu dakedo kitto sore demo yokute

There should be more that I can draw with this left hand of mine
but even if there’s not, I’m sure that’s fine anyway

サヨナラ　マタネ　だなんて
気にしない　生き方がいいね

sayonara mata ne da nante
ki ni shinai ikikata ga ii ne

It’s best to live not caring
about “goodbyes,” “see yous” and such

これからの日々に映る
光だけに（灼かれたいけど…）

kore kara no hibi ni utsuru
hikari dake ni (yakaretai kedo…)

Though I’d only like to be burnt red
by the light of the coming days

手招きたい　手招きたい　のは
手招きたい　手招きたい　のは
なぜ　なぜ　なぜ　なぜ
不思議　不思議　不思議

temanekitai temanekitai no ha
temanekitai temanekitai no ha
naze naze naze naze
fushigi fushigi fushigi

I want to beckon, I want to beckon
I want to beckon, I want to beckon
But why? But why? But why? But why?
It’s a mystery – mystery – mystery

手放したい　忘れたい　のに
こんなにも　惹かれる　のは
なぜ　なぜ　なぜ　なぜ

konna ni mo hikareru no wa
naze naze naze naze

Although I want to let go and forget
I’m still very much drawn in
But why? But why? But why? But why?

どんな色を　足せたら　虹が出来る？

donna iro o tasetara niji ga dekiru?

What colour can I add to make a rainbow?

もっと　自由になりたいの…
もっと　優しくになりたいの…
もっと　賢くありたいの…
もっと　可愛くありたいの…

motto jiyuu ni naritai no…
motto yasashiku ni naritai no…
motto kashikoku aritai no…

I want to become even freer…
I want to become even kinder…
I want to become even smarter…
I want to become even cuter…

もっと　幸せになりたいの…

陽だまり | Sunshine

Another of Amen’s Unpublished Translations, except this one was actually commissioned for and published on the GENSOstorage channel. Never made it to the site for some reason though. (I was too lazy to do the romaji and put in the artist info. This will be a common theme.)

☆ Title: 陽だまり
★ Album: Fairy Tales
☆ Album Artist: Milkclip
★ Vocals: Kannomiya Ruri（神乃宮瑠璃）
☆ Lyrics & Arrangement: Minekawa Sana（峰川真）
☆ Original Title: Sunny Rutile Flection (サニールチルフレクション)
★ Site: https://milkclip.blogspot.com/p/link.html

陽だまりの中で一人目を閉じていれば
別の世界に迷い込んだみたいに感じた

hidamari no naka de hitori me o tojite ireba
betsu no sekai ni mayoi konda mitai ni kanjita

When I closed my eyes alone in the sun
I felt like I wandered into a different world

光の雨の中で一人取り残され
切り取られた世界に一体何思うのか
静けさに問いかけても答えはでなくて
感じられるのは暖かな日差しだけだった

hikari no ame no naka de hitori tori nokosare
kiri torareta sekai ni ittai nani omou no ka
shizukesa ni toi kaketemo kotae wa denakute
kanjirareru no wa atatakana hizashi dake datta

Left behind in a downpour of light,
just what do you think about in a cut off world?
Though I ask the stillness, no response comes back
All that I could feel was the warmth of the sunlight

手を伸ばし　手をかざし
光を掴んで
手を伸ばし　手をかざし
光を閉じ込め

te o nobashi to o kazashi
hikari o tsukande
te o nobashi te o kazashi
hikari o toji kome

Reaching out, holding out my hands
Seizing the light
Reaching out, holding out my hands
Locking away the light

陽だまりに溶けるように
陽だまりに混ざるように

hidamari ni tokeru you ni
hidamari ni mazaru you ni

As if melting in the sun
As if mixing together in the sun

手を伸ばし　手をかざし
微かな熱を
手を伸ばし　手をかざし
確かな日差しを

te o nobashi to o kazashi
kasuka na netsu o
te o nobashi to o kazashi
tashika na hizashi o

Reaching out, holding out my hands
For the faint heat
Reaching out, holding out my hands
For the doubtless sunlight

光を集めて
小さな陽だまりを
光を閉じ込めて
小さな陽だまりを

hikari o atsumete
chiisa na hidamari o
hikari o toji komete
chiisa na hidamari o

Gathering the light
The small spot where the sun shines
Locking away the light
The small spot where the sun shines

ILIAS

The first of Amen’s unpublished translations. Expect to see more of these soon. Seems like I was originally too lazy to finish the romaji transcription. Great song, although short. The power of belief is strong.

☆ Title: ILIAS
★ Album: beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Vol.1
☆ Album Artist: KONAMI
★ Vocals: Sakaue Nachi (坂上なち)
☆ Lyrics: Haruka
★ Arrangement: Masayoshi Minoshima

climbing on 先は見えなくても
今は何も考えない
風が吹いたこの心（すきま）に
狭い時間、広い時間

climbing on saki wa mienakutemo
ima wa nani mo kangaenai
kaze ga fuita kono sukima ni
semai jikan, hiroi jikan

Climbing on, even if you can’t see ahead
Right now, your mind is clear
In the windy gaps of our hearts
A cramped time, a vast time

Say for you ずっと呼んでいたい
君がいつか立ち上がるって
風が吹いて二人繋ぎ
変わる景色、変わる想い

Say for you zutto yondeitai
kimi ga itsu ka tachi agaru tte
kaze ga fuite futari tsunagi
kawaru keshiki, kawaru omoi

“You’ll rise up someday”
I’ll say it for you, I’ll always want to call out to you
The wind blows, connecting us
Changing sceneries, changing feelings

夢を見ていた　君との夢を
何もない場所　ただ二人だけで
君は見ていた　ずっとこの先
その想いはとても強く

yume o miteita kimi to no yume o
nani mo nai basho tada futari dake de
kimi wa miteita zutto kono saki
sono omoi wa totemo tsuyoku

I was dreaming a dream shared with you
Nothing was there, just us two alone
You were always looking ahead
With exceedingly strong hope

目覚めた朝に　変わらぬ景色
いつもと違った自分を見せて
追いかけてくる　過去の影さえ
瞳に映したものだけ

mezameta asa ni kawaranu keshiki
itsu mo to chigatta jibun o misete
oi kakete kuru kako no kage sae
hitomi ni utsushita mono dake

You wake up in the morning to an unchanging scenery
Show them a different ‘you’ than usual
Even the shadows of the past chasing after you
only exist in your own eyes

信じ続ける　強い想いが
自分の心（すきま）に残り始めて
過去の自分に　もう戻らない
今すぐ拳を突き上げて

shinji tsudzukeru tsuyoi omoi ga
jibun no sukima ni nokori hajimete
kako no jibun ni mou modoranai
ima sugu kobushi o tsuki agete

Strong feelings of continuous belief
will begin remain in the gaps of your heart
There’s no going back to who you used to be
Raise your fist in the air right now

Nights of Blood

Suggested by a user on my Discord server (https://discord.gg/QCh4AptK9G). Time for some good old Asriel again. The idea of a captive princess growing sick of waiting and doing things for herself isn’t all that original at this point, but the way that KOKOMI writes the lyrics makes the story being told here captivating nonetheless. Being able to take something old and make it feel fresh is an amazing skill. I also intend to do 虹色セレナーデ eventually. It was my first Asriel song and what got me interested in them.

☆ Title: Nights of Blood
★ Album: Xanadu
☆ Album Artist: Asriel
★ Vocals and lyrics: KOKOMI
☆ Arrangement and composition: Kurose Keisuke (黒瀬圭亮)

両手を縛って　囚われの姫の真似をした
誰もが誰かの　運命なら解きにきてください

ryoute o shibatte toraware no hime no mane o shita
dare mo ga dare ka no unmei nara toki ni kite kudasai

With both my hands tied, I imitated a captive princess
If everyone has someone destined for them, please come untie me

いくら待っても　迎えの来ない
長い夜　数え尽きたから
私が探しに行くわ　悪くはない

ikura mattemo mukae no konai
nagai yoru kazoe tsukita kara
watashi ga sagashi ni yuku wa waruku wa nai

No matter how long I waited, nobody came for me
I’ve grown tired of counting the long nights
so I’ll be the one to go out and search – that doesn’t sound too bad

Nights of Blood
か弱い私じゃない　新たに今
生まれ変わろうか
求めてばかり　受身な愛　さよなら
Blood of knight
負けない強さは　乙女の心にも
剣を授けたりするのです

Night of Blood
kayowai watashi janai arata ni ima
umare kawarou ka
motomete bakari ukemi na ai sayonara
Blood of knight
makenai tsuyosa wa otome no kokoro ni mo
tsurugi o sazuketari suru no desu

Nights of Blood
I’m not my old weak self
Shall I now be reborn anew?
Goodbye to passive love, filled only with seeking
Unyielding strength will also grant its sword
to damsels’ hearts

両手を解いて　そのまま高く掲げましょう
細い腕の先　食い込むほど指をぎゅっと握る

ryoute o hodoite sono mama takaku kakagemashou
hosoi ude no saki kui komu hodo yubi o gyutto nigiru

How about we free our hands and hold them up high?
I grip the slender ends of my arms with my fingers so tight that they dig in

身体に眠る　私がいった
運命は自分で決めるの
縛るも解くも(ah)すべては　あなた次第

karada ni nemuru watashi ga itta
unmei wa jibun de kimeru no
shibaru mo toku mo (ah) subete wa anata shidai

The me sleeping within once said
that fate is something you decide by yourself
Whether you’re bound or freed, ah, all depends on you

Nights of Blood
か弱い私じゃない　新たに今
生まれ変わろうよ
求めるだけの　過去にもう　さよなら
Blood of knight
負けない強さを誓う　乙女は英雄に
剣も携えていきます

Nights of Blood
kayowai watashi janai arata ni ima
umare kawarou yo
motomeru dake no kako ni mou sayonara
Blood of knight
makenai tsuyosa o chikau otome wa eiyuu ni
tsurugi mo tazusaete yukimasu

Nights of Blood
I’m not my old weak self
I shall now be reborn anew
Goodbye already to my past filled only with seeking
Blood of knight
Damsels who vow unyielding strength become heroes
and even go on with a sword in hand

いつだって心は私の為　いつだって想いは誰かの為
強さと弱さ　それすらも愛せるなら
身体に眠る　私がいった
運命は自分で決めるから
守られれる日々は終わりです

itsu datte kokoro wa watashi no tame itsu datte omoi wa dare ka no tame
tsuyosa to yowasa sore sura mo aiseru nara
karada ni nemuru watashi ga itta
unmei wa jibun de kimeru kara
mamorareru hibi wa owari desu

My heart is always there for my sake, my feelings are always there for others’ sake
Strength and weakness – If I can love even that…
The me sleeping within once said
that fate is something you decide by yourself
so my days of being protected are over
