That Full Moon Over The Haunted Ship

This song exceeded all expectations I had from the crossfade. It’s really haunting, which is great and unique. I think this may be my favourite song from the album, even though I’m generally not a fan of Camellia songs.

何処までも続く溟い海の終わりで
奈落への滝が嗤い続け轟く
“目指したトコロは此処だったのか?”
今は先を急ぐ 水達に乗せられたまま

doko made mo tsudzuku kurai umi no owari de
naraku e no taki ga warai tsudzuke todoroku
“mezashita tokoro wa koko datta no ka?”
ima wa saki o isogu mizutachi ni noserareta mama

At the end of the everlasting dark sea
the waterfall to hell, continuing to laugh, roars
“Was this the place that you were looking for?”
as we remained carried by waters now hurrying us onwards

Red sky, too high, 悪夢の様に青白い満月
Tonight, to hype, 水平の果て 死霊とさあ踊れよ
Mad tide, they cry, 波は怒りにその躰を震い
You fly, to die, 夜明けを刺した
もう狂いそうなMoonlight

Red sky, too high, akumu no you ni aoshiroi mangetsu
Tonight, to hype, suihei no hate shiryou to saa odoreyo
Mad tide, they cry, nami wa ikari ni sono karada o furui
You fly, to die, yoake o sashita
mou kuruisou na Moonlight

Red sky, too high, the full moon is nightmarishly white
Tonight, to hype, come dance with the ghosts at the end of the horizon
Mad tide, they cry, the waves shake their bodies in anger
You fly, to die, it pierced the dawn
The already maddening moonlight

何処に堕ちるのか何時まで堕ちるのかも
解らないくらいに船は迪んで逝く
止まらない舟唄 止まってしまったビート・ライン
死は生を 生は死をそう 求めたままで

doko ni ochiru no ka itsu made ochiru no ka mo
wakaranai kurai ni fune wa susunde yuku
tomaranai funauta tomatte shimatta biito rain
shi wa sei o sei wa shi o sou motometa mama de

The ship moves on to death such that we can’t comprehend
where we’re going to fall, or how long we’ll fall
The beat line stopped, but the sailor’s song doesn’t stop
as life and death, yes, remained seeking each other

Red sky, too high, 暁は燃え破れた帆を染める
Tonight, to hype, 沈んだ船は私達が踊る
Mad tide, they cry, 雷がほら齧る先を探す
You fly, to die, あまりに澄んだ
もう狂いそうなMoonlight

Red sky, too high, akatsuki wa moe yabureta ho wo someru
Tonight, to hype, shizunda fune wa watashi tachi ga odoru
Mad tide, they cry, ikadzuchi ga hora kajiru saki o sagasu
You fly, to die, amari ni sunda
mou kuruisou na Moonlight

Red sky, too high, the dawn catches fire, tinting the broken sail
Tonight, to hype, we dance aboard the sunken ship
Mad tide, they cry, the lightning searches for where to chew
You fly, to die, it’s all too clear
The already maddening moonlight

眠りについた 貴方の顔を見つめ
そっと さよなら告げ
深い想いは やがて華を咲かせる
そして 夢の続きを

nemuri ni tsuita anata no kao o mitsume
sotto sayonara tsuge
fukai omoi wa yagate hana o sakaseru
soshite yume no tsudzuki o

Looking at your face, and quietly saying farewell,
I fell asleep
Intense feelings will eventually make flowers blossom
and the next part of my dream

いつから忘れていた 大事な大事なもの
いつまで夢をみてた 今さえ夢の続き?

itsu kara wasureteita daiji na daiji na mono
itsu made yume o miteta ima sae yume no tsudzuki?

Since when have I forgotten what was so, so important to me?
How long have I been dreaming? Am I still waiting for the next one?

何年も数えてきた 逃げだしてた過ちが
何度でも深い海へ連れて行く
忘れても思い出して 覚めて行くのが怖くて
私は振り向けない

nannen mo kazoete kita nige dashiteta ayamachi ga
nando demo fukai umi e tsurete yuku
wasuretemo omoi dashite samete yuku no ga kowakute
watashi wa furi mukenai

The mistake of running away that I’ve counted for years
keeps on dragging me into a deep sea
I’ll recall even if I forget, and I’m afraid of waking up
so I can’t look back

何年も我慢してた 意味のない優しさから
何度でも深い闇へ連れて行く
忘れたい消し去りたい 私の記憶と過去に
私はまだ振り向けない

nannen mo gaman shiteta imi no nai yasashisa kara
nando demo fukai yami e tsurete yuku
wasuretai keshi saritai watashi no kioku to kako ni
watashi wa mada furi mukenai

Away from the pointless kindness that I’ve put up with for years
they keep on dragging me into a deep darkness
To my memories and my past that I want to forget and erase,
I still can’t look back

眠りについた 私の心は今
時を 動かさない
深い想いは やがて終わりを告げた
そして 夢の最後を

nemuri ni tsuita watashi no kokoro wa ima
toki o ugokasanai
fukai omoi wa yagate owari o tsugeta
soshite yume no saigo o

My heart now, as it’s asleep,
can’t make time move
Intense feelings eventually signalled the end
and the end of my dreams

この手で壊していた 大事な大事なもの
いつまで夢を見てた いつなら夢が見れた?

kono te de kowashiteita daiji na daiji na mono
itsu made yume o miteta itsu nara yume ga mireta?

With my own hands I had destroyed what was so, so important to me
How long have I been dreaming? When was I able to dream?

何年も過ごしてきた 意味もたない交わりも
何度でも深い場所へ連れて行く
忘れても思い出して 覚めて行くのが怖くて
私は振り向かない

nannen mo sugoshite kita imi motanai majiwari mo
nando demo fukai basho e tsurete yuku
wasuretemo omoi dashite samete yuku no ga kowakute
watashi wa furi mukanai

The meaningless companionships I’ve spent the years with
keep on dragging me into a deep place
I’ll recall even if I forget, and I’m afraid of waking up,
so I will not look back

何年も我慢してた 意味のない優しさから
何度でも深い闇へ連れて行く
忘れたい消し去りたい 壊してた貴方のこと
私はまだ振り向かない

nannen mo gaman shiteta imi no nai yasashisa kara
nando demo fukai yami e tsurete yuku
wasuretai keshi saritai kowashiteta anata no koto
watashi wa mada furi mukanai

Away from the pointless kindness that I’ve put up with for years
they keep on dragging me into a deep darkness
To you, who I destroyed, who I want to forget and erase,
I still will not look back

Crescunt Falsa

Normally, I try to avoid Kumarisu lyrics like the plague, but this one has relatively straightforward grammar, until the disjointed と after 刃. Not to mention, the vocals and arrangement are breathtaking.

I have to say this translation is incomplete though, due to me being unqualified to translate Latin. Google translate picks up the first line, but I’m not sure how to make it work with the Japanese without guessing, and it doesn’t even translate the one with “ingels,” so I’m kinda stuck unless someone can help. It’d be nice to keep it as it is, since not even Japanese people would be expected to understand it, but that’d just be lazy.

Kafka had the great idea that Google translate from Latin to Japanese would work, however, since it’s probably what Kumarisu used. That turns the first line into 非常に満足して書かれました and the second.. still doesn’t work out too good, but it’s something about the glorious excalibur. Then LATEa* from JxL subtiltes sent me this page to use as a reference, which helped with ingels, laetus, and mira. Now, I still don’t know Latin grammar, so this is still just a guess to how the sentence structure goes.

Notes: On the topic of disjointed とs, I chose “that” here. The simplest way to deal with them is usually to just wrap quotation marks around the text, but there’s no hints of speaking at all here. If there was another person here, sure, maybe, but the speaker appears to be all alone. She wouldn’t speak to herself, would she? While just “that” alone sounds a bit strange, I think it’s the most flexible usage as well. For example, 「~と気付いた」 would normally be translated as “realized that~.” Quotation marks aren’t all too natural with the verb “to realize,” and the missing verb here could be anything. I’m probably talking too much at this point, and overthinking things, but eh. At least we can discount the possibility of it being “if/when” this time.

Today I learned that disjointed とs can also precede imaginary ともにs.

溶けて消え行く氷が
熱を奪い溶けてゆく

tokete kie yuku koori ga
netsu o ubai tokete yuku

The ice melting away
melts by stealing heat

白く生まれた世界が
胸の奥迄冷やした

shiroku umareta sekai ga
mune no oku made hiyashita

This world, born white,
chilled me down to the heart

有り体な願いは
scripta laetus mira
飛沫の行く末は
ingels caliburnus gloria

aritei na negai wa
scripta laetus mira
himatsu no yukusue wa
ingels caliburnus gloria

Genuine wishes
were written with joy and wonder
Where the spray ends up
is the great, glorious Caliburn

千切れ舞い散る言葉が
耳を切り裂く刃と

chigire mai chiru kotoba ga
mimi o kiri saku yaiba to

That words that fall, torn into thousands of pieces,
are together with blades that and rip apart my ears

有り体な願いは
scripta laetus mira
飛沫の行く末は
ingels caliburnus gloria

aritei na negai wa
scripta laetus mira
shibuki no yukusue wa
ingels caliburnus gloria

Genuine wishes
were written with joy and wonder
Where the spray ends up
is the great, glorious Caliburn

This seems like something you’d find in an IOSYS song. The arrangement is completely different though. I imagine the “you” here is food.

駆け巡る 嘘も本当も全て狂おしく愛おしい幻想に

I race around the fantasy where lies, truth, everything is maddeningly precious
I want to know – the more I bite, the deeper I can’t resist seeking

Love it! 触れてはイケないものでも Love it! 手を伸ばしそうで

I end up obsessing over endlessly overflowing words of love more than anyone else
so there’s no way I’ll absolutely be able to stand being hurried when you still don’t understand

Love it! 独りよがりでもいいから Love it! 私だけのもの
