Calling Opus

These lyrics seem to be about Remilia’s faith in Sakuya and her power. I think I like EoSD Sakuya’s theme more than Flowering Night. I feel it represents her serious side and determination to defeat the player, her will to protect her master. Meanwhile, Flowering Night seems to show off her more “perfect, elegant maid” persona.

銀色に 輝く その刃の 向こう側
響く 誰かを呼ぶ声
前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
描けるはず そう 君なら

gin iro ni kagayaku sono yaiba no mukou gawa
hibiku dareka o yobu koe
mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
egakeru hazu sou kimi nara

On other side of your silver shining blade
is a resonating voice calling out for somebody
Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If it’s you, yes, you should be able to pull it off

例えば 花が風に散っていったとして
それを止める事に何の意味があるだろう

tatoeba hana ga kaze ni chitteita toshite
sore o tomeru koto ni nan no imi ga aru darou

Let’s suppose that a flower went and fell in the wind
What meaning do you think would there be in stopping that?

再び世界は回る
束の間の喜びと ほんの少しのすれ違いさえ 今はもう…

futatabi sekai wa mawaru
tsuka no ma no yorokobi to hon no sukoshi surechigai sae ima wa mou…

Once again the world spins around
Even things like the slight crossing of paths and the delights of a moment, will now shortly…

舞い散る花のように 誇り高く飛べ
世界の果てまでも その姿を変えていく

mai chiru hana no you ni hokori takaku tobe
sekai no hate made mo sono sugata o kaete iku

Proudly soar far off just like a dancing flower
as far as even the ends of the world, we’ll be changing that

銀色に 輝く その瞳に 映るのは
遠い 希望を呼ぶ声

gin iro ni kagayaku sono hitomi ni utsuru no wa
tooi kibou o yobu koe

Reflected in your silver shining eyes
is a distant voice calling for hope

前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
照らしてよ  君の声で

mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
terashite yo kimi no koe de

Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
Shine upon everything with your voice

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

例えば 星が流れ消えていったとして
それを止める事に何の意味があるだろう

tatoeba hoshi ga nagare kiete itta toshite
sore o tomeru koto ni nan no imi ga aru darou

Let’s suppose that a star shot off and went and vanished
what meaning do you think would there be in stopping that?

それでも世界は回る
束の間の悲しみと ほんの少しの温かささえ 今はもう…

sore demo sekai wa mawaru
tsuka no ma no kanashimi to hon no sukoshi no atatakasa sae ima wa mou…

Even so the world still spins around
Even things like the slightest warmth and the sorrows of a moment, will now shortly…

舞い散る花のように 誇り高く飛べ
世界の果てまでも その姿を変えていく

mai chiru hana no you ni hokori takaku tobe
sekai no hate made mo sono sugata o kaete iku

Proudly soar far off just like a dancing flower
as far as even the ends of the world, we’ll change that

銀色に 輝く その刃で 切り裂いて
遠い あの日が呼ぶ声

gin iro ni kagayaku sono yaiba de kiri saite
tooi ano hi ga yobu koe

Using your silver shining blade
slice apart the voice of that far day calling out

前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
照らすなら  君の歌で

mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
terasu nara kimi no uta de

Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If you’re going to shine do it with your song

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

銀色に 輝く その刃の 向こう側
響く 誰かを呼ぶ声
前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
描けるはず そう 君なら

gin iro ni kagayaku sono yaiba no mukou gawa
hibiku dareka o yobu koe
mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
egakeru hazu sou kimi nara

On other side of your silver shining blade
is a resonating voice calling out for somebody
Face foward, lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If it’s you, yes, you should be able to pull it off

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

Decive

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one who has a tough time with Sally lyrics, specifically ワニ and shuriken’s. Sometimes I tend to overthink things as well. 泡沫 was relatively easy and made sense too, but Wan~椀~.. We don’t speak about Wan~椀~.

真夜中 孤独の鐘
捕まえたガラクタの心
割れやすいから
せめて 優しく触れ

mayo naka kodoku no kane
tsukamaeta garakuta no kokoro

semete yasashiku fure

The heart of rubbish that the bell of solitude
caught in the dead of night
is very easy to break so
I’ll at least be gentle with it

可憐に堕ちて往く姿
見守り届けてあげる
かわいい 玩具らしくね
ねぇ逆さまにグルグル舞って
言われたとおりにして?

karen ni ochite yuku sugata
mi mamori todokete ageru
kawaii omocha rashiku ne
nee sakasama ni guruguru matte
iwareta toori ni shite?

The figure sweetly descends down
I’ll watch over it as I send it for you
like a cute plaything right?
Hey, dance for me, upside down in circles
Will you do as you’ve been told?

狂い出した 時計の針
騙されてる キミに乗せて
流し込んだ 創り話
思い通り もうじき変わる

kurui dashita tokei no hari
damasareteru kimi ni nosete
nagashi konda tsukuri banashi
omoi doori moujiki kawaru

The hands of the clock put forth madness
it’s placed onto you, you’re being deceived
Made up tales were poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon things will change

いつから 描いていた
幻や ガラクタの心
割れやすいから
此処で 優しく撫で

itsu kara egaiteita
maboroshi ya garakuta no kokoro

The heart of illusions and rubbish
drawn from some time ago
is very easy to break so
right here I’ll stroke it gently

役目 終えるその時まで
見守り続けてあげる
かわいい 道具らしくね
さぁ逆さまに変わる世界
言われたとおりにして?

yakume oeru sono toki made

Until the time when I’ve ended my role
I’ll continue to watch over and protect you
just like a cute tool right?
Come now, the world will turn upside down
will you do as your told?

壊れかけた 時計の針
踊り続けた キミに深く
注ぎ込んだ 毒の蜜で

koware kaketa tokei no hari
odori tsudzuke kimi ni fukaku
sosogi konda doku no mitsu de
omoi doori moujiki kanau

The hands of the clock are in ruins
I continue to dance closely to you
A poison nectar was poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon my wish will come true

狂い出した 時計の針
騙されてる キミに乗せて
流し込んだ 創り話

it’s placed onto you, you’re being deceived
Made up tales were poured down your throat
Just as I want, soon things will change

恨まれたって
留まる理由見つからない
記憶や笑顔さえ 切り裂き
嘘つきで 本当を今

uramareta tte
todomaru riyuu mitsukaranai
kioku ya egao sae kiri saki
usotsuki de honto o ima

I’ve held this grudge
I can’t find any reason to be confined here
I’ll tear even memories and smiles to shreds
As a deceiver, I’ve now

さらけ出した 夢を纏う
踊り続け キミと繋ぐ
注ぎ込んだ 毒の蜜で

omoi doori moujiki kanau subete ga

exposed the truth, clad in dreams
I continue to dance connected to you
With the poison nectar was poured down your throat
just as I want, soon my wish will come true, it all will

complicated

I don’t have much to say here, but that sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end really hooked me, plus, it’s Itori.

Notes: The last sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end, while it all essentially means “change,” those kanji are all used for different things, so I attempted to translate it to reflect the wording as best I could. Maybe I should have just kept it all as “change” though. Edit: I decided to do so

How many times will I have to laugh?

I can’t do anything with what didn’t exist

everything would change into the colour of the world you desire

Sweet Dreams

I’ve always enjoyed lyrics about dreams, dreams are really fascinating to me. If you’ve never had a lucid dream before, you’re really missing out. It’s such a unique experience.

昔の幻(ぼく)が笑う
指差した先に
夢が
あっただろう
つかめただろう
今は遠い幻で

mukashi no boku ga warau
yubi sashita saki ni
yume ga
atta darou
tsukameta darou
ima wa tooi maboroshi de

The phantom of me from the past laughs
At the end of where it pointed at
there was
a dream wasn’t there?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

言葉にしたら壊れてくのに
形にしなきゃ見えもしないのに
隙間に浮かぶ不確かな声
抱え込むのは淡い夜の夢

kotoba ni shitara kowarete ku noni
katachi ni shinakya mie mo shinai noni
sukima ni ukabu fu tashika na koe
kake komu no wa awai yoru no yume

Even though if I put it into words it will get destroyed
Even though I can’t even see it, I need to give it shape
An unreliable voice rises up through the gap
What I’m holding with me are dreams of that faint night

昔の幻(ぼく)が笑う
指差した先に
何が
あっただろう?
つかめただろう?

atta darou?
tsukameta darou?
ima wa tooi maboroshi de

The phantom of me from the past laughs
At the end of where it pointed at
what was there?
What was there I wonder?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

長い眠りに つく前に
あなたの声が聞こえた気がした
何を頼りに 眠ったらいい
教えて sweet dreams

nagai nemuri ni tsuku mae ni
anata no koe ga kikoeta ki ga shita
nani o tayori ni nemuttara ii
oshiete sweet dreams

Before you were stuck in this long dream
I got a feeling I heard your voice
What should I rely on to sleep nicely?
Teach me of your sweet dreams

全て終わりに する為に
何かを諦めていた気がした
長い旅と 夢の終わる頃
聞かせて sweet dreams

subete owari ni suru tame ni
nani ka o akirameteita ki ga shita
nagai tabi to yume no owaru koro
kikasete sweet dreams

In order to put an end to everything
I got a feeling you had abandoned something
When your long journey and dreams come to an end
tell me about your sweet dreams

前を向いても何もないのに
振り返っても何もないのに
隙間に浮かぶ不確かな道
迷い込むのは遠い夜の夢

mae o muitemo nani mo nai noni
furikaettemo nani mo nai noni
sukima ni ukabu fu tashika na michi
mayoi komu no wa tooi yoru no yume

Even though there’s nothing when I look ahead
Even though there’s nothing when I look back
An unreliable path rises up through the gap
Where I’m straying into are dreams of that faint night

The phantom of you is here
Presented in your hands
what was there?
What was there I wonder?
It was graspable wasn’t it?
But now it exists as a far illusion

夢の世界の続きの歌を
聴かせて sweet dreams

osoi mezame ni furueteru
anata no koe ga kikoeta ki ga shita
yume no sekai no tsudzuki no uta o

Quaking at your late awakening
I got a feeling I heard your voice
Let me hear the song of the sequel of the world
of your dreams, those sweet dreams

全て終わりに する為に
あなたは諦めていた気がした
物語と 夢の終わる頃

In order to put an end to everything
I got a feeling you had given up
When your story and dreams come to an end
tell me about your sweet dreams

君はひとりで
まだ何を探しているの
終わるはずのない
物語 信じたまま

kimi wa hitori de
mada nani o sagashiteiru no

Just what are you
still searching for, all alone?
I remained believing that
your story will never end
