mada owaritaku wa nai mada hajimari mo konai
ima orenji ni somaru ki kazatta sora moyou
fuyu ni utsuru sono mae sukoshi dake miseru kao
yuuyake ni somaru koro yasashisa o miseru you ni
I don’t want it to end yet, the beginning still hasn’t even come At this point, dyed orange, the sky looks suited up Before it turns to winter, I’ll show my face just a little so that I can show my kindness when it becomes sunset
mada saki wa mienakute mada yuku basho mo nakute
ki kazatte kakushitemo kakushi kirenai mama de
fuyu ga kuru sono mae ni sukoshi dake no jikan o
ima watashi ni hoshii no samishisa o kakusu tame ni
I can’t see the end yet, I still have no place to go Whether I’m dressed up or hidden, I can’t conceal it all Before Winter comes upon us, just give me a little time That’s what I need right now, for the sake of hiding my loneliness
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.”

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
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
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
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.

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
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”
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
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”
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

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?
