Ah, my first year at university has officially come to an end, and what better way to come back than with a Yumemi arrange? She has quickly become one of my favourite characters. Her and I share a lot of the same aspirations, after all, which are perhaps my main drive as I major in physics.

I have to apologize for lack of translations lately, but a lot has been going on. I’ll definitely be trying to pick up the pace from now on though, starting with this one that I left half-done for months due to its difficulty.

Notes: This is perhaps the most liberal translation I’ve ever done. There is no other way to approach these lyrics unless you want the result to sound like garbage (nothing but noun phrases). Under normal circumstances, I’d slap myself for going so far, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

utsuro na yume hibiita uta
nijimu namida kageru hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita suna o hakobu

It was an empty dream, a poem that resonated
Tears run down, the sunlight dims
Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings
carrying parched sand

君の声も　僕の声も　歪んだまま　超える時空
君の傍に　君の幻に

kimi no koe mo boku no koe mo yuganda mama koeru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni

Your voice, my voice, remaining twisted, overcome space-time
by your side, heading to your dream

独り　笑う　孤独の刃　奪う　自由　擦り切れた　咎の雨
足下で　蠢く　声が　囁いて　離れないままで

hitori warau kodoku no yaiba ubau jiyuu suri kireta toga no ame
ashimoto de ugomeku koe ga sasayaite hanarenai mama de

Alone, I laugh, with my blade of solitude, stealing freedom, the worn out rain of treason
The voice squirming at my feet whispers, remaining close by

綻んだ　夜に踊っていたいだけ
軌跡の向こう　希望の光

hokoronda yoru ni odotteitai dake
kiseki no mukou kibou no hikari

I just want to keep dancing in the exposed night
Beyond our trajectory lies the light of hope

美しい嘘に　怯えてる　煌めいた　世界の果て
照らし出す　新しい夢　魔法を求めてる
輝いていた　光の先に　浮かんでは歪んでいく　幻想
約束の終わり
夢を　夢を　僕は　視てる

utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru

Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed
a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power
Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy
The closure of my promise
I am, I am, looking, at our dream

歪な心の　欠片の先に　君の涙　僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃　縛られた因果　戯れの刃　魔法のような

ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na

Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears
This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic

独り　願う　記憶の刃　堕ちる　自由　差し出した　咎の風
足下に　広がる　夜空　瞬いて　離れないままで

hitori negau kioku no yaiba ochiru jiyuu sashi dashita toga no kaze
ashimoto ni hirogaru yozora matataite hanarenai mama de

Alone, I wish, with the blade of memory, falling, the wind of treason presented freedom
The night sky reaching to my feet twinkles, remaining close by

綻んだ　夜の色　変わるまで
軌跡の涙　希望の光り

hokoronda yoru no iro kawaru made
kiseki no namida kibou no hikari

Until the exposed colour of the night changes
the tears of our trajectory are lights of hope

美しい嘘に　溺れてる　痛みさえ　忘れたままで
追憶の彼方の陽炎　魔法を求めてる
羽ばたいては　堕ちては消えて　望んでは歪んでいく 幻想
創造の果てに
何を　何を　君は　見てる

utsukushii uso ni oboreteru itami sae wasureta mama de
tsuioku no kanata no yume mahou o motometeru
habataite wa ochite wa kiete nozonde wa yugande ku yume
souzou no hate ni
nani o nani o kimi wa miteru

Drowning in a beautiful lie, having forgotten even pain
it’s a hazy dream beyond my recollection: seeking magic power
Disappearing upon falling upon flying, desiring presents a twisting fantasy
In the opus of creation
at what, at what, are you, looking?

歪な心の　欠片の先に　君の涙　僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃　縛られた因果　戯れの刃　魔法のような

ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na

Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears
This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic

世界の幻想　世界の詩
望む色に　沈む夕陽
消えた魔法　想いの行方
渇いた 声 で歌う

sekai no yume sekai no uta
nozomu iro ni shizumu hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita uta de utau

Fantasy of the world, poetry of the world
The sun sets into the colour I desire
Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings
I sing with a parched voice

君の世界　僕の世界 歪んだまま　消える時空
君の傍に　君の幻に

kimi no sekai boku no sekai yuganda mama kieru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni

Your world, my world, remaining twisted, disappear in space-time
by your side, to your dream

美しい嘘に　怯えてる　煌めいた　世界の果て
照らし出す　新しい夢　魔法を求めてる
輝いていた　光の先に　浮かんでは歪んでいく　幻想
約束の終わり
夢を　夢を　僕は　視てる

utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru

Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed
a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power
Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy
The closure of my promise
I am, I am, looking, at our dream

歪な心の　欠片の先に　君の涙　僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃　縛られた因果　戯れの刃　魔法のような

ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na
