砂の城 そっと 撫でるように 壊したの
よせては返す波に ヒトリ 見惚れていた

suna no shiro sotto naderu you ni kowashita no
yosete wa kaesu nami ni hitori mitoreteita

The sand castle gently, as if being brushed, was destroyed
Alone, I’ve been fascinated by the waves breaking onto shore

どのくらい此処で 生き続けてきたのかを
思いだそうとして ため息 髪を揺らす

dono kurai koko de iki tsudzukete kita no ka o
omoi dasou to shite tameiki kami o yurasu

How long have I came to continue living here?
I try to recall, sigh, and shake my hair

別れの哀しみがふと 爪先からぐっと 込み上げたら
喉の奥が熱くなって 声 奪われる

wakare no kanashimi ga futo tsumesaki kara gutto komi agetara
nodo no oku ga atsuku natte koe ubawareru

When the grief of farewell suddenly up from my tiptoes engulfs me
my throat grows hot, and my voice is stolen

変わる季節を越えて 失ったものたち
数えきれない僕の 歴史の一つ
深く刻まれ残り 消えることはないだろう
人々が愛してきた この景色だけは永遠に
守ってゆくよ

kawaru kisetsu o koete ushinatta monotachi
kazoe kirenai boku no rekishi no hitotsu
fukaku kizamare nokori kieru koto wa nai darou
hitobito ga aishite kita kono keshiki dake wa eien ni
mamotte yuku yo

Crossing over changing seasons, everything that I lost
This one piece of my countless history
I doubt its deeply carved remnants will ever disappear
I’ll at least eternally go and protect this landscape that everybody
has come to love

新しい風の香りは 今でも僕の
古い記憶 運んでくる ほんの一瞬

atarashii kaze no kaori wa ima demo boku no
furui kioku hakonde kuru hon no isshun

Even now, the fresh new scent of the wind
comes and carries my old memories, for just a moment

運命と呼べる 出逢いも幾つかあった
慣れる事のない 苦しみを 背負いながら

unmei to yoberu deai mo ikutsu ka atta
nareru koto no nai kurushimi o seoi nagara

I’ve had a few meetings that you could call fate
while I bear this anguish that you can never get used to

遠い遠い未来の果て そこで先に待つよ
限りのない僕の命 もう一度 君に逢うために

tooi tooi mirai no hate soko de saki ni matsu yo
kagiri no nai boku no inochi mou ichido kimi ni au tame ni

At the end of a far, far future, I’ll be waiting there on ahead
in my limitless life, in order to see you, one more time

君が灯した たった一つの小さく強い
魂は いつの日も 僕を動かす
夢見る未来 いつか 安らげる瞬間(トキ)まで…
信じてる信じている 瞼の裏 君の笑顔
描きながら

kimi ga tomoshita tatta hitotsu no chiisaku tsuyoi
tamashii wa itsu no hi mo boku o ugokasu
yume miru mirai itsu ka yasurageru toki made…
shinjiteru shinjiteiru mabuta no ura kimi no egao
egaki nagara

This single punily strong soul that you lit up
no matter the day, inspires and moves me
It’s a future of dreaming, until when I can someday feel at peace…
I have faith, I have faith, while underneath my eyelids, I picture
your smile

砂漠の真ん中 砂煙に覆われる
そんな夜があっても 恐れはないんだ
満月よ どうか この胸にもっと大きな
輝きを与えて 力を… 守り抜いていくため

sabako no mannaka sunakemuri ni oowareru
sonna yoru ga attemo osore wa nai n da
mangetsu yo douka kono mune ni motto ooki na
kagayaki o ataete chikara o… mamori nuite iku tame

Being in the middle of the desert, covered by a cloud of sand
Even if there are nights like that, I have no fear
Oh, full moon, would you please, give me a greater
radiance in my chest, so that I can… protect this power

君が灯した たった一つの小さく強い
魂は いつの日も 僕を動かす
夢見る未来 いつか 安らげる瞬間まで…
信じてる信じている 瞼の裏 君の笑顔
描きながら

kimi ga tomoshita tatta hitotsu no chiisaku tsuyoi
tamashii wa itsu no hi mo boku o ugokasu
yume miru mirai itsu ka yasurageru toki made…
shinjiteru shinjiteiru mabuta no ura kimi no egao
egaki nagara

This single punily strong soul that you lit up
no matter the day, inspires and moves me
It’s a future of dreaming, until when I can someday feel at peace…
I have faith, I have faith, while underneath my eyelids, I picture
your smile

And Other

Kafka over there had recently received a request to finish up the remaining songs of the FELT discography, but decided to pass the job down to me instead, and so here we are. The brilliant “flower” in this song would seem to be that person the speaker wants to meet here, lighting up her life and all the people around.

雲の隙間に差し込む 暖かな光
遥か彼方で輝く 君にただ逢いたくて

kumo no sukima ni sashi komu atataka na hikari
haruka kanata de kagayaku kimi ni tada aitakute

Shining in the openings between the clouds was a warm light
Radiant far off in the distance, I only want to see you again

生まれ変わった姿に 皆 目を逸らした
熱く溢れた傷みが 現在の僕 造り出した

umare kawatta sugata ni minna me o sorashita
atsuku afureta itami ga ima no boku tsukuri dashita

Everyone cast their eyes aside to my newborn look
The pain that scorchingly flooded out is what made me who I am today

人の心を 人の体を
潤す一輪の華が 美しくて
羨ましくて 遠く眺めているの..

hito no kokoro o hito no karada o
uruosu ichirin no hana ga utsukushikute
urayamashikute tooku nagameteiru no..

The single blossom that enriches people’s hearts
and enriches their bodies is beautiful
and enviable, and gazing far away..

夢の中では幾度も 君に触れていた
頬に震えた雫が 気にもならないほどに

yume no naka de wa ikudo mo kimi ni fureteita
hoho ni furueta shizuku ga ki ni mo naranai hodo ni

In my dreams countless times, I had felt you
The teardrop that shook on my cheek wasn’t anything of concern

吹き抜ける風追い越し 願い伝えたら
眩しい空へと届けて 手をかざし目覚めるよう

fuki nukeru kaze oi koshi negai tsutaetara
mabushii sora e to todokete te o kazashi mezameru you

If I send out wishes faster than the blowing wind
it looks like they’ll be able to reach the dazzling sky, and I’ll hold up my hands and wake up

胸を焦がした 甘い記憶と
ほろ苦い雫 萃めて時を戻すことが 出来たら
この手 何掴むだろう

mune o kogashita amai kioku to
horonigai shizuku atsumete toki o modosu koto ga dekitara
kono te nani tsukamu darou

If I could gather the sweet memories
that I yearned for, and the bittersweet teardrops, and turn back time
what would these hands then grasp I wonder

星降る夜に まばゆく咲いた
君の光を浴びたなら 強い筈の
心を優しい 雨が溶かしはじめる

hoshi furu yoru ni mabayuku saita
kimi no hikari o abita nara tsuyoi hazu no
kokoro o yasashii ame ga tokashi hajimeru

On the night studded with stars, you bloomed blindingly
If I bathed in your light, then a gentle rain
would begin to melt my heart that should be strong

人の心を 人の体を
潤す一輪の華が 美しくて
羨ましくて 遠く眺めているの..

hito no kokoro o hito no karada o
uruosu ichirin no hana ga utsukushikute
urayamashikute tooku nagameteiru no..

The single blossom that enriches people’s hearts
and enriches their bodies is beautiful
and enviable, and gazing far away..

メイドやめますか?人間やめますか?| Quit being a maid? Quit being a human?

お皿が1枚2枚3枚 洗っても洗っても まだまだ山盛り
お皿が4枚5枚6枚 お嬢様たちの 食べ残し
下着が1枚2枚3枚 洗っても洗っても まだまだ山盛り

Their plates, one, two, three, I wash and I wash but there’s always more
Their plates, four, five, six, all these leftovers from the young ladies
Underwear, one, two, three, I wash and I wash but there’s always more
Underwear, four, five, six, the young ladies’ childish…!

朝早起きして 朝食作って お嬢様たち 起こしてお着替え

Waking up early, making breakfast, then the young ladies, waking and dressing them
There’s so much lined up, cleaning the rooms, then when it’s noon, making dinner
Necessary for the afternoon, putting on the tea, then when it’s evening, making supper
then the young ladies, putting them in the bath, and by the time I put them to bed, it’s already tomorrow!

同じ事を繰り返してる メイドやめますか 頭の中

Repeating the same old things, will I quit being a maid? In my head
Continuing to question the same old things, will I quit being a human? You stupid or what?
Repeating the same old things, whether it’s fate, I don’t care anymore
Enough with this, my patience is at it’s limits, I’m going leave this place already!

あら、八意様・・・実は先日メイドを辞めまして・・・
え?永遠亭で雇ってくださる? わたしでよければ、ぜひ・・・!

Oh my, Miss Yagokoro… The truth is I quit being a maid the other day and…
Eh? You’d hire me at Eientei? If you’re fine with me, certainly…!

All these rabbits, one, two, three, I smack them and smack them but they never learn
All these rabbits, four, five, six, all around Miss Eirin, a prank paradise
The neet goes on one raid, two raids, three raids, she wins and she wins but never gets bored
The neet goes on four raids, five raids, six raids, Miss Eirin’s fed up, it’s a hell of neglect

朝早起きして 朝食作って ウサギたち 起こしてエサやり

Waking up early, making breakfast, then the rabbits, waking and feeding them
Cleaning the rooms and the long hallways, then when it’s noon, making dinner
For the afternoon, made to be the neet’s partner, then when it’s evening, making supper
then the rabbits, lining them up and smacking them, kyeeeeeeee!!

Repeating the same old things, it’s not just me, it’s everyone
In an imperfect time, nothing changes, anyway anyway
I’ll continue singing the same old song, I’ll continue dancing the same old dance
Repeating the same errors, before long, the dawn breaks, and the moon sets

・・・という夢を見たんですが、お嬢様どう思われますか?

…is the kind of dream I had, but what do you think, my lady?
Eh? You said you want to quit being a maid?
It’s ok… as long as I’m alive, we’ll always be together after all…

神空ハイブレイド | Divine Sky High Blade

Requested by Alv, I asked a friend the other day what the title even means, and all she said was “it’s chuuni,” which inspired me to give up thinking deeply about what kind of message is supposed to be in this song.

Notes: I’m really terrible at putting lines with an を and no verb into English, because there’s no equivalent way to express that at all. I’m talking about 「存在証明を」 of course. For a quick, basic Japanese lesson, the particle を is usually used to mark the target of action verbs. For example, if you were to put “Eat the apple” into Japanese sentence structure, it’d look like “Apple を eat”. Without a verb in a sentence like that, you’re just left with “(Non-existing verb) the thing.”

白鳥の如く
深い空へ舞い堕ちる
重ねた愛が動き出した
遥か長い幻想の狭間で

hakuchou no gotoku
fukai sora e mai ochiru
kasaneta ai ga ugoki dashita
haruka nagai gensou no hazama de

Just as a swan does
dancing and descending into the deep sky
All the piled up love began to move
at the gap of a far, long fantasy

雲を超えてゆく
陽の光より早く
霞んだ記憶 幼き日に見た浮かぶ理想郷は遠く

kumo o koete yuku
hi no hikari yori hayaku
kasunda kioku osanaki hi ni mita ukabu risoukyou wa tooku

Crossing over the clouds
Faster than the light of the sun
Hazed memories, the floating paradise I saw during my childhood days is far off

離れてゆく

hanarete yuku

drifting away

範疇外の三重奏が色付けば
時を裂いて 風を巻いて
神空ハイブレイド
細胞が横隔膜が燃えるほど
遥か高く 遥か高く
存在証明を

hanchuugai no sanjuusou ga irodzukeba
toki o saite kaze o maite
shinkuu hai bureido
saibou ga oukakumaku ga moeru hodo
haruka takaku haruka takaku
sonzai shoumei o

If the categoryless instrumental trio changes colours,
cleave through time, and coil the wind
divine sky high blade
To the point at which my cells, my diaphragm burns
far and high, far and high,
…the proof of existence

片手に一輪の
花を持って問いかける
[向かい合わせる閃光の嵐を切り抜ける覚悟はお有りかい?]

katate ni ichirin no
hana o motte toi kakeru
[mukai awaseru senkou no arashi o kiri nukeru kakugo wa oari kai?]

In a one hand
I hold a single flower and ask the question
“Do I have the will to cut through the light storm facing me?”

範疇外の三重奏が色付けば
雨弾いて 華を撃って
神空ハイブレイド
細胞が横隔膜が燃えるほど
もっと早く もっと早く
突き刺すように

hanchuugai no sanjuusou ga irodzukeba
ame hajiite hana o utte
shinkuu hai bureido
saibou ga oukakumaku ga moeru hodo
motto hayaku motto hayaku
tsukisasu you ni

If the categoryless instrumental trio changes colours,
repel the rain, and shoot the flowers
divine sky high blade
To the point at which my cells, my diaphragm burns
faster, faster
in order to pierce through

深くまで深くまでそのスピードで
暗闇さえ越えてしまえ
神空ハイブレイド
何十回も何百回も君の名を
叫び続けるだろう
空に舞う時代の渦へ

fukaku made fukaku made sono supiido de
kurayami sae koete shimae
shinkuu hai bureido
nanjuukai mo nanbyakukai mo kimi na o
sakebi tsudzukeru darou
sora ni mau jidai no uzu e

Until I’m deep, until I’m deep, with that speed
transcend even the darkness
divine sky high blade
Tens of times, hundreds of times, I’ll continue to
shout out your name won’t I?
Towards the swirl of times of dancing in the sky
