Requested by Ageng, this song will be remembered for it’s ellipses, and seemingly unusual usage of とs, and だけs.

fu…

途切れる風に　耳を塞ぐ夜に
舞う涙の雫　踊る鬼人と
スペルのカードが…答えさえ曖昧に見せて…
転生は修羅の如し…ah…

togireru kaze ni mimi o fusagu yoru ni
mau namida no shizuku odoru kijin to
superu no kaado ga… kotae sae aimai ni misete…
tensei wa shura no gotoshi…ah…

In the pausing wind, in the night of closed ears
drops of tears swirl, the dancing Kijin
and the spell card… even show an answer, vaguely…
Reincarnation can be likened to fighting… ah…

戻れない…帰れずに…逃げ路を探すのよ…

modorenai… kaerezu ni… nigemichi o sagasu no yo…

Unable to go back… unable to go home… searching for an escape…

廻る…回路は儚さと
君への想いだけ募るだけ…もうすぐねぇ、時が止まる…
君にねぇ…逢えた事を想い泣きながら転生を空へ願う…

mawaru… kairo wa hakanasa to
kimi e no omoi dake tsunoru dake… mou sugu nee, toki ga tomaru…
kimi ni nee… aeta koto o omoi nakinagara tensei o sora e negau…

Going around… the cycle just gets worse
proportional to my feelings towards you and the transience… Any moment, hey, time will stop…
While I cry thinking about how I was able to meet you, I wish to the sky for rebirth

スペルのカード　逆さまな心　停止させないでと　鬼人が唄う
凍りつくように　体が止まって　君の瞳さえ　見えなくなるようで…

superu no kaado sakasama na kokoro teishi sasenai de to kijin ga utau
koori tsuku you ni karada tomatte kimi no hitomi sae mienaku naru you de…

The spell card, the flipped heart, “don’t let it stop,” Kijin chants
As if being frozen, my body stops, it feels like I can’t even see your eyes anymore…

スペルのカード　逆さまな心　停止させないでと　鬼人が踊る
凍りつくように　体が止まって　君の瞳さえ　見えなくなるようで…

superu no kaado sakasama na kokoro teishi sasenai de to kijin ga odoru
koori tsuku you ni karada tomatte kimi no hitomi sae mienaku naru you de…

The spell card, the flipped heart, “don’t let it stop,” Kijin dances
As if being frozen, my body stops, it feels like I can’t even see your eyes anymore…

fu…

途切れる風に　目を塞ぐ間に
舞う涙の夢と　踊る鬼人と
スペルのカードが…答えさえ曖昧に揺れて…
転生は修羅の如し…ah…

togireru kaze ni me o fusagu aida ni
mau namida no yume to odoru kijin to
superu no kaado ga… kotae sae aimai ni yurete…
tensei wa shura no gotoshi…ah…

In the pausing wind, while eyes are closed,
dreams of dancing tears, the dancing Kijin
and the spell card… even the answer sways vaguely…
Reincarnation can be likened to fighting… ah…

戻れない…帰れない…ワタシ何処…行けばいい？…

modorenai… kaerenai… watashi doko… ikeba ii?…

Unable to go back… unable to go home… where… should I go?…

永久に…回路は儚さと
君への想いだけ走るだけ…もうすぐねぇ、時が止まる…
君にねぇ…逢えた事を想い泣きながら転生を空へ願う…

towa ni… kairo wa hakanasa to
kimi e no omoi dake hashiru dake… mou sugu nee, toki ga tomaru…
kimi ni nee… aeta koto o omoi nakinagara tensei o sora e negau…

Eternally… the cycle runs on
proportional to my feelings towards you, and the transience… Any moment, hey, time will stop…
While I cry thinking about how I was able to meet you, I wish to the sky for rebirth

スペルのカード　逆さまな心　停止させないでと　鬼人が唄う

Requested by my friend Lori, lyrics were found transcripted on a website. I somewhat question the structure of that last stanza there, but what can you do?

Notes: 「早起きにして六文の得」 is based on a proverb, 「早起きは三文の徳」, that essentially translates to “early bird catches the worm,” literally translating into “Waking up early is a benefit for those with little cash.” In this version though, instead of 三文, it’s 六文, which is the fare to cross the river Sanzu.

「丑の刻参り」, or “the two o’clock curse” as I named it, refers to the curse where you drive a nail through a doll into a sacred tree of a shrine for seven nights in a row between 1-3am to kill the person it represents. Imagine a voodoo doll. In the song here though, it only takes one night.

もう、そこには誰もいはしない。
だから、
もう、そこには君もいやしない。

mou, soko ni wa dare mo iwashinai.
dakara,
mou, soko ni wa kimi mo iyashinai

Not anymore, is anyone there.
Therefore,
not anymore, are you there either.

そこに只、在るのは。
二度と生を刻むことの無い骸―。

soko ni tada, aru no wa.
nido to sei o kizamu koto no nai mukuro―.

The things, that are simply there.
Are but corpses that will never chip at life again―.

首と躯とは離れ離れ。

kubi to karada to wa hanarebanare

Their heads and bodies can be defined as apart.

幸福に沈む、傍ら、磔に。

maboroshi ni shizumu, katawara, haritsuke ni.

Sinking into an illusion of joy, while also, into crucifixion.

そして、僕といえば、
二度と地を踏むことさえない屍―。

soshite, boku to ieba,
nido to chi o fumu koto sae nai kabane―.

And, if you speak of me,
you speak of a corpse never to even tread upon earth again―.

足を踏み入れた蓬莱の地に、
僕らの楽園を夢見たのに

ashi o fumi ireta hourai no chi ni,
bokura no rakuen o yume mita noni

On the grounds of Mount Hourai that we treaded,
although we dreamt of our paradise

ああ僕らは
何も知らなかったんだ
何もかもが嘘つきのこんな幻想郷があることも

aa bokura wa
nani mo shiranakatta n da
nani mo kamo ga usotsuki no konna sekai ga aru koto mo

Ah, we didn’t
know a single thing
not that this kind of world, gensokyo, where every little thing is a liar, existed either

ああ何を
違えてしまったのか
僕らはきっと仲良く生きていける筈だったのに

aa nani o
tagaete shimatta no ka
bokura wa kitto naka yoku ikite ikeru haze datta noni

Ah, what did we
end up going against?
Despite the fact that we surely should’ve been able to live on good terms

―せめて、君がいさえすれば…

―semete, kimi ga i sae sureba…

―At least, as long as you were here…

そんな思いが、胸を掠めては、　　消えた。

sonna omoi ga, mune o kasumete wa,      kieta.

those kinds of thoughts brushed by my heart, and disappeared.

こんな恐ろしいところには、
もはや、
一刻たりとてもいられない。

konna osoroshii tokoro ni wa,
mohaya,
hitotoki tari totemo irarenai.

In this kind of dreadful place,
no longer,
not even one more moment can I stay.

そうしてその足を。
自ら死地に追いやる愚か者―。

sou shite sono ashi wo.
mizukara shichi ni oi yaru oroka mono―.

With that, I was a  fool.
Who personally drove his feet into a land of death―.

もっとも安全な方法とは。

mottomo anzen na ikikata to wa.

The safest way to live can be defined as.

常に自分の手に握り置くもので。

tsune ni jibun no te ni nigiri oku mono de.

Something to always grip firmly in one’s own hands.

けして理解のできぬ、
世界に触れてなどしてはならない。

keshite rikai no dekinu,
sekai ni furete nado shite wa naranai.

You must not come in contact with a world,
that doesn’t understand that in the least.

なんて悪趣味な人形戯曲。
誰も人間ではいられなかったか

nante akushumi na ningyou asobi.
dare mo matomo de wa irarenakatta ka

What an untasteful toy theater.
Could no one be honest, be human?

ああ彼らは
かくも愚かだったのだ
暗闇の向こう側で謎のピエロが嗤っている

aa karera wa
kakumo oroka datta no da
kurayami no mukougawa de nazo no piero ga waratteiru

Ah, as for them
they were all so foolish.
The mysterious clown is sniggering on the other side of the darkness.

ああボクこそ
最後の勝者なのだ
愚か者共の末路をその正義の証として

aa boku koso
saigo no shousha na no da
oroka mono domo no matsuro o sono seigi no akashi toshite

Ah, but as for me
I’ll surely be the final victor
as proof of the justice of the fateful end of those fools

そして誰もいなくなる前に

soshite dare mo inaku naru mae ni

And then, before everyone dies off

これは心の最奥に刻み込む、墓標。

kore wa kokoro no oku ni kizami komu, bohyou.

This will etch into the depths of my heart, the tombstones.

疑いもせず　手に取る報い
好奇心こそ最大の敵よ

utagai mo sezu te ni toru mukui
koukishin koso saidai no teki yo

Without a doubt, they get their just desserts
It’s curiousity that’s the greatest enemy

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

一人夜歩き　忍び寄る影は
幼さゆえ気づけずにいたか

hitori yo aruki shinobi yoru kage wa
osanasa yue kidzukezu ni ita ka

Walking alone at night, the creeping shadow
is it because he was childish that he couldn’t tell?

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

足掻くことさえ　試せぬほどに
聡さとは愚かさと同義か

agaku koto sae tamesenu hodo ni
satosa to wa orokasa to dougi ka

Smarts to the point where you can’t even try to struggle
can that be defined as the same as foolishness?

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

恋の苦さと　命の甘さ
大人の味は油断大敵

koi no nigasa to inochi no amasa
otona no aji wa yudan taiteki

The bitterness of love and the sweetness of life
as for the flavour of adults, not being alert is the greatest foe

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

一夜限りの　丑の刻参り
警戒など意味のない世界

hitoyo kagiri no ushi no koku mairi
keikai nado imi no nai sekai

Bound to one night, the two o’clock curse
it’s a world where precaution has no meaning

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

最期にしては　粗食にすぎたか
早起きにして六文の得

saigo ni shite wa soshoku ni sugita ka
hayaoki ni shite rokumon no toku

Was it more than a simple meal for the end?
The early bird catches a ticket to the afterlife

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

正直者が　馬鹿を見るのだ
臆病者に進む道なし

shoujiki mono ga baka o miru no da
okubyou ni susumu michi nashi

Honest people just look like fools
There’s no road to advance for cowards

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人

sou, kizamarerubeki da hitori hitori

Yes, they should be engraved, one person by one

ああ何を 違えてしまったのか 僕らはきっと仲良く生きていける筈だったのに
ああせめて 君がいてくれたなら 最後の正直者を信じられたかもしれないな
などと馬鹿めが！ 世迷いごとに沈め！ 正直者が馬鹿を見るそんな世界の理なら
ああ！ボクこそ 最後の勝者なのだ！ その真実を噛み締めて今楽園を後にして
墓標に刻んだ数だけ 胸に込み上げる勝利の余韻に嗤う。

aa nani o tagaete shimatta no ka bokura wa kitto naka yoku ikite ikeru haze datta noni
aa semete kimi ga ite kureta nara saigo no shoujiki mono o shinjirareta kamo shirenai na
nado to baka me ga! yomayoiigoto ni shizume! shoujiki mono ga baka o miru sonna sekai no ruuuru nara aa! boku koso saigo no shousha na no da! sono shinjitsu o kami shimete ima rakuen o ato ni shite bohyou ni kizanda kazu dake mune ni komi ageru shouri no yoin ni warau.

Ah, what did we end up going against? Despite the fact that we surely should’ve been able to live on good terms. Ah, at least, if you were here for me, I might’ve been able to believe the last honest ones, says the idiots! Sink in your nonsense!  If honest people just look like fools, if that’s the way of that world. Ah! As for me, I’ll surely be the final victor! Chew on that truth and leave paradise behind now. With each time I carved into a tombstone, I snigger at the afterglow of victory filling my chest.

Lyrics by NAGI this time, and I sure could feel a difference when translating. Some of the sentences were real mouthfuls that just continued on and on. My head needs a rest after those.

★ Title: Under Empty
☆ Album: Icicle Fall
★ Album Artist: FELT

☆ Website: http://feltmusic.net/


遠い空　黒く霞んでく　世界を闇で包んで
やがて満ちる孤独　心に纏う影を隠し

tooi sora kuroku kasunde ku sekai o yami de tsutsunde
yagate michiru kodoku kokoro ni matou kage o kakushi

The distant sky grows black, wrapping the world in darkness
Soon the rising loneliness will hide the shadows my heart adorns

はじけ飛び　流れた　一筋の光を追って
崩れゆく　欠けた世界　取り戻せない

hajike tobi nagareta hitosuji no hikari o otte
kuzure yuku kaketa sekai tori modosenai

I chase the beam of light that flew off and streamed
This crumbling, broken world, can’t be taken back

夢へ導く　未来の手に　言葉預けた
走り出した　空の向こうへ　光る君を追って

yume e michibiku mirai no te ni kotoba azuketa
hashiri dashita sora no mukou e hikari kimi o otte

I left my words in the hands of the future leading to my dreams
and began to run to the other side of the sky, chasing you as you shine

限りなく続く　未来で　一人たたずむ
爆煙の影　見透かせない　世界隠して
この手に握りしめ　重なる　思いの強さに
ただ一つ　確かに触れた　時を描くような　今を信じて

kagiri naku tsudzuku mirai de hitori tatazumu
bakuen no kage misukasenai sekai kakushite
kono te ni nigiri shime kasanaru omoi no tsuyosa ni
tada hitotsu tashika ni fureta toki o egaku you na ima o shinjite

I stand still alone in this future continuing without end
Smoke of explosions and their shadows, opaque, hide the world
I believe in a present like one that paints a time when the only thing I certainly
felt is the piling up strength of thoughts that I grasp in my hands

静寂に身を委ねて　立ち止まり　息を止めた
長い夢へと落ち　時の流れが薄れ行く

seijaku ni mi o yudanete tachi domari iki o tometa
nagai yume e to ochi toki no nagare ga usure yuku

I surrendered myself to silence, stopping still and holding my breath
and fall into a long dream, the flow of time fades away

光降る空間　止めどなく走り続けた
過去を越え　今を進み　その先まで

hikari furu kuukan tomedo naku hashiri tsudzuketa
kako o koe ima o susumi sono saki made

In a space where light shines down, I ran on without stopping
exceeding the past, going forward in the present, and beyond

立ちはだかる壁を壊し　手を差し伸べれば
動き出した　終幕の空　飛ぶことを恐れて

tachi hadakaru kabe o kowashi te o sashi nobereba
ugoki dashita shuumaku no sora tobu koto o osorete

If I were to lend a hand in destroying the wall in the way
I’d fear flying in a sky of an end that’s begun to move

止めどなく溢れ　もがいて　強く望んだ
この先の空　ぶつかる気持ちさえ踏み越えて
月を紅く染めた一瞬の　刹那的強さも
もう一つ　確かに魅せた　時に色をつける　君の眼差し

tomedo naku afure mogaite tsuyoku nozonda
kono saki no sora butsukaru kimochi sae fumi koete
tsuki o akaku someta isshun no setsunateki tsuyosa mo
mou hitotsu tashika ni miseta toki ni iro o tsukeru kimi no manazashi

Like an endless overflow, I struggled and strongly wished
Even these feelings that conflict with the sky beyond this, I’ll overcome
The momentary strength the instant you coloured the moon scarlet
also certainly enchanted one more, your look adds colour to time

果てしなく繰り返される　幻想に埋もれてく
夢の終わりを　今告げたこと　記憶に刻んだ

hate shinaku kuri kaesareru gensou ni umorete ku
yume no owari o ima tsugeta koto kioku ni kizanda

Being buried in illusions that are repeated endlessly
I etched in my memory things that now told of the end of the dream

限りなく続く　未来で　一人たたずむ
爆煙の影　見透かせない　世界隠して
この手に握りしめ　重なる　思いの強さに
ただ一つ　確かに触れた　時を描くような

kagiri naku tsudzuku mirai de hitori tatazumu
bakuen no kage misukasenai sekai kakushite
kono te ni nigiri shime kasanaru omoi no tsuyosa ni
tada hitotsu tashika ni fureta toki o egaku you na

I stand still alone in this future continuing without end
Smoke of explosions and their shadows, opaque, hide the world
Similar to painting a time when the only thing I certainly
felt is the piling up strength of thoughts that I grasp in my hands

止めどなく溢れ　もがいて　強く望んだ
この先の空　ぶつかる気持ちさえ踏み越えて
月を紅く染めた一瞬の　刹那的強さも
もう一つ　確かに魅せた　時に色をつける　君の眼差し

tomedo naku afure mogaite tsuyoku nozonda
kono saki no sora butsukaru kimochi sae fumi koete
tsuki o akaku someta isshun no setsunateki tsuyosa mo
mou hitotsu tashika ni miseta toki ni iro o tsukeru kimi no manazashi

Like an endless overflow, I struggled and strongly wished
Even these feelings that conflict with the sky beyond this, I’ll overcome
The momentary strength the instant you coloured the moon scarlet
also certainly enchanted one more, your gaze adds colour to time

It almost feels more like a song about Aya, since it refers so much to flying through the sky and all that.

淡く燃え 広がるの　この狭い 視界の中
光の輪 くぐり抜けた羽が

awaku moe hirogaru no kono semai shikai no naka
hikari no wa kuguri nuketa hane ga

In my narrow, faintly spreading blaze of a field of vision
was ring of light that my wings passed through

振り返ることもなく　ひたすらに 飛び続け
知らぬ間に傷が増えていった

furi kaeru koto mo naku hitasura ni tobi tsudzuke
shiranu ma ni kizu ga fueteitta

Without even looking back, just being set on keeping flying
before I knew, the wounds had added up

木々や花の壁を越えて　雲を追いこした
そこで手に入れられる　ものなんて何一つも無い

kigi ya hana no kabe o koete kumo o oi koshita
soko de te ni irerareru mono nante nani hitotsu mo nai

We crossed over walls of all the trees and flowers, and passed the clouds
There’s not one thing at all that can be obtained there

道なき旅の途中　落とした 僕等の羽は
いくつもの弱さ連れて　そっと 消えていった

michi naki tabi no tochuu otoshita bokura no hane wa
ikutsu mo no yowasa tsurete sotto kieteitta

In the middle of a roadless journey, the feathers we dropped
had took with them much weakness and quietly disappeared

凍てついた心には　手のひらで魔法かける
いつだって強くありたいから

itetsuita kokoro ni wa te no hira de mahou kakeru
itsu datte tsuyoku aritai kara

I cast magic with the palm of hand in my frozen heart
because I always want to be strong

悲しみに染められて　時だけが 過ぎたって
気がつけば 鮮やかな世界へと…

kanashimi ni somerarete toki dake ga sugita tte
ki ga tsukeba azayaka na sekai e to…

but I’ve been dyed in sadness, and only time moved
Now that I realized, off towards a bright world…

願い 声に出す前に　此の手で叶えよう
全てを操る　それぞれの力で
この星の下

negai koe ni dasu mae ni kono te de kaneyou
subete o ayatsuru sorezore no chikara de
kono hoshi no shita

Before I put my wishes into voice, lets grant it with our own hands
we’ll handle everything, with each of our powers
underneath these stars

歌うたう風の声　儚い夢に つかまって
生みだす 新たな日々　強く 胸に抱いて

uta utau kaze no koe hakanai yume ni tsukamatte
umi dasu arata na hibi tsuyoku mune ni daite

The voice of the wind singing a song is caught in an empty dream
New days bring more to the world, I hold them tightly to my chest

道なき旅の途中　落とした 僕等の羽は
いくつもの弱さ連れて　そっと…

michi naki tabi no tochuu otoshita bokura no hane wa
ikutsu mo no yowasa tsurete sotto…

In the middle of a roadless journey, the feathers we dropped
had took with them much weakness and quietly…

歌うたう風の声　儚い夢に つかまって
生みだす 新たな日々
澄んだ 空に 舞った 過去たちを
強く 胸に抱いて

uta utau kaze no koe hakanai yume ni tsukamatte
umi dasu arata na hibi
sunda sora ni matta kakotachi o
tsuyoku mune ni daite

The voice of the wind singing a song is caught in an empty dream
The new days that bring more to the world
and the previous days in which we danced in the clear sky
I hold tightly to my chest
