Requested by Kii, ahh 3L’s voice is gorgeous. It seems like this character brought upon the end of the world so that she could see these flowers that would bloom there, whether that’s metaphorical or not, you decide! But, in return, she carries this as her grave sin, and even loses the person she was waiting for.

Notes: 「何時から　摘み取る」 translates literally as “From what time will I pluck out/pick out/nip off” but that sounds real weird in English, no matter how you look at it, when it’s just that. Considering the songs mentioned scars left by thorns in the stanza before it, I interpreted it to be those that she’d be picking out (from herself).
「細い手を伸ばして縋る」 doesn’t say what she’s hanging on to, but it’s implied she’s supporting herself up as evidenced by the following line.

誰も識らない　視てもない
この世界の果て　どんな場所で
目にする景色は　何色の花が咲き乱れてるの？

dare mo shiranai mite mo nai
kono sekai no hate donna basho de
me ni suru keshiki wa nani iro no hana ga saki midareteru no?

Just where is it at? The end of the world
Nobody is aware, and neither will they look
Seen in the scenery there, what colour are the flowers blooming?

黒い空を赤く濁し　二度と再現出来ないパターン
幾重ものcontingency　ah

kuroi sora o akaku nigoshi nido to saigen dekinai pataan
ikue mono contingency ah

I cloud the dark sky with red – a pattern that can never reappear again
A contingency of many layers, ah

後の世に　深く刻む禍根
深く積もる見えぬ祈り　今も誰かの声が　ah

nochi no yo ni fukaku kizamu kakon
fukaku tsumoru mienu inori ima mo dare ka no koe ga ah

Ages later on, the roots of evil will be deeply engraved
Unseen prayers will densely pile up, even now, somebody’s voice goes ah

闇に響くそんな　スティグマの世界に

yami ni hibiku sonna sutiguma no sekai ni

in the dark, ringing out, at that world of stigma

命が生まれ　消え行く定めは希薄
たとえそれでも　他とどう違うの？
色取り取りの　出会いと別れもあるのよ
世界の果てで　私　今でも貴方の影を待つ

inochi ga umare kie yuku samade wa kihaku
tatoe sore demo hoka to dou chigau no?
iro toridori no deai to wakare mo aru no yo
sekai no hate de watashi ima demo anata no kage o matsu

Life is meant to be born and then to fade away – that fate is lacking
but even given all that, how is that different from anything else?
There will be many colours of meetings and partings as well
Even now at the end of the world, I’m still waiting for your shadow

遥か遠い声に怯え　耳を塞ぎ走り抜ける
誰も咎めないから　ah

haruka tooi koe ni obie mimi o fusagi hashiri nukeru
dare mo togamenai kara ah

Becoming scared of the distant voice, you close your ears and run away
because there’s nobody around to blame, ah

いつかきっと君は　振り返る日がくる

itsu ka kitto kimi wa furi kaeru hi ga kuru

Surely, someday, the day when you’ll turn back around will come

小さな棘が　つける傷はとても微細
滲む血やまわる毒が僅かでも
ゆっくりゆっくり流れ出る涙はもう
自分の手では　止められない

chiisa na toge ga tsukeru kizu wa totemo bisai
nijimu chi ya mawaru doku ga wazuka demo
yukkuri yukkuri nagare deru namida wa mou
jibun no te de wa tomerarenai

The scars left by the small thorns are very minute
Even though there’s little blood and there’s hardly any poison
I can’t stop them anymore with these hands of mine
these tears from slowly flowing out, not anymore

何時から　摘み取る
細い手を伸ばして縋る
それが自然で　自分の脚で立つ事を忘れたの
裸足の裏に感じる　痛みこそ
生の証明　罪と昏迷　咎の糾明
何を信じ　何を求め　両の脚で　二つの眼で
咲く花の色を視れば良い

itsu kara tsumi toru
hosoi te o nobashite sugaru
sore ga shizen de jibun no ashi de tatsu koto o wasureta no
hadashi no ura ni kanjiru itami koso
sei no shoumei tsumi to konmei toga no kyuumei
nani o shinji nani o motome ryou no ashi de futatsu no me de
saku hana no iro o mireba ii

When will I start picking out these thorns?
I extend my thin arms and cling on to what I can
That’s only natural, I’ve forgotten how to stand on my own legs
The pain I feel on the soles of my bare feet
That’s the proof of my life; My crime and confusion; Examinations of offenses
What do I believe? What do I seek? On both of my legs, with the two of my eyes
I just want to look at the colours of the blooming flowers

Requested by Maria, I always loved this portion of Nue’s theme.

Notes: The double meaning in 「愛」 was lost in translation. It means love but it’s pronounced “I,” so take of that what you will. It’s also not too obvious in english either, but the “with” in the lines “with a voice” and “with you” is more like the “together with” kind of with.

「I」は線で描いて
色に滲んだ声と
「愛」は線で描いて
音に溶けゆく君と

「I」 wa sen de egaite
iro nijinda koe to
「ai」 wa sen de egaite
oto ni kieru kimi to

“I” draw with only lines
with a voice bled into colour
“Love” draws with only lines
with you fading into sound

「I」は線で描いて
色に滲んだ声と
「愛」は線で描いて
音に溶けゆく君と

「I」 wa sen de egaite
iro nijinda koe to
「ai」 wa sen de egaite
oto ni kieru kimi to

“I” draw with only lines
with a voice bled into colour
“Love” draws with only lines
with you fading into sound

きっと
仮初の昨日と今日の呼吸と、
明日への回廊を彷徨って、
知らぬふりした痛みと苦悩も全部、
私はここで歌い続ける。

kitto
karisome no kinou to kyou no kokyuu to,
ashita e no kairou o samayotte,
shiranu furi shita itami to kunou mo zenbu,
watashi wa koko de utai tsudzukeru

Surely
wandering between the corridors that lead towards tomorrow
and the breath of today and the transience of yesterday
here I will continue to sing about what I pretended to not know
all of the pain, all of the anguish, everything

Requested by Primity, it sounds somewhat like Kaguya is thinking about escaping the moon to find love in this song. Forgetting the past and moving on, being a bird trapped in a cage, changing the present, that kind of thing. “Good luck, all-seeing light” I imagine refers to the moon, she’s wishing a sort of farewell to it. Of course, I might be somewhat off on my interpretations though.

一人に　慣れたなんて
強がりですら　言えるようになった
素直に笑うには　少しだけれど
時が経ち過ぎてた

hitori ni nareta nante
tsuyogari desura ieru you ni natta
sunao ni warau ni wa sukoshi da keredo
toki ga tachi sugitea

“I’m used to being alone”
is just a bluff, but I’ve come to the point that I can say it
There are few times where I can honestly laugh
but time has passed by way too fast

すれ違いは　飽き飽きしてる
遠回りをし続けてた　だけど
それ程伝えたい　言の葉だから
「今」を変えられる
(触れないでね)
優しすぎると　壊れてしまうから

surechigai wa akiaki shiteru
toomawari o shi tsudzuketeta dakedo
sore hodo tsutaetai koto no ha dakara
「ima」 o kaerareru
(furenai de ne)
yasashi sugiru to kowarete shimau kara

I’m sick of crossing paths
I had just continued to go the long way around however
I want to convey my words to that extent so
I can change “the present”
(Don’t touch me)
because if you’re too kind I’ll end up falling apart

隠して　回り道して
いつでも　忘れないでいて
確かな背中合わせの
幸せに寄り添って
月夜には　お似合いね
だからこそ

kakushite mawarimichi shite
itsu demo wasurenai de ite
tashika na senaka awase no
shiawase ni yori sotte
tsukiyo ni wa oniai ne
dakara koso

Taking detours and hiding
Please always remember
Getting close to the happiness of
a certain back-to-back
It’s suitable for this moonlit night
for this reason

嘘吐きには　慣れてしまった
後ろ向きには生きたく無い　だから
籠の中の鳥は　来るとも知らない
誰かを待ってる
いつかの記憶は　いつもと違うから

usotsuki ni wa narete shimatta
ushiromuki ni wa ikitakunai dakara
kago no naka no tori wa kuru to mo shiranai
dare ka o matteru
itsu ka no kioku wa itsu mo to chigau kara

I ended up getting used to liars
because I don’t want to live looking behind my back
I’m waiting for somebody that doesn’t even know
if the bird in its cage will come
that’s because it’s memories from someday are different from usual

「今まで」忘れたくて
「これから」を忘れたくない
泣いてるあなた目がけて
唇を通せんぼ

「ima made」 wasuretakuta
「kore kara」 o wasuretakunai
naiteru anata megakete
kuchibiru o toosenbo

I want to forget “Everything up to now”
I want to remember “Everything from now”
I’m aiming at you as you cry
I’ll hush those lips

本当は永遠なんて　あるわけ無いじゃないの
(だから)泣かないで
(だから)泣かせないで
どうする事も出来る訳ない

honto wa eien nante aru wake nai janai no
(dakara) nakanai de
(dakara) nakasenai de
dou suru koto mo dekiru wake nai

The truth is, nothing like “eternity” could really exist, could it?
(and so) don’t cry
(and so) don’t let yourself cry
It’s not like there’s anything we can do

忘れたふりをしても
紡いだ糸は解かない
誰もがしてる様な
「普通」でいたいだけよ
いつか　きっと一人きりで
まだ泣いていると思うからこそ
そっと背中合わせに
ずっと　恋して　恋して　恋して　恋して　星を眺めたいの
(言葉は何もいらない　遍く光りよ幸あれ)
(私の帰る場所には　一人じゃない)

wasureta furi o shitemo
tsumuida ito wa hodokanai
dare mo ga shiteru you na
「futsuu」 de itai dake yo
itsu ka kitto hitori kiri de
mada naiteiru to omou kara koso
sotto senaka awase ni
zutto koi shite koi shite koi shite koi shite hoshi o nagametai no
(kotoba wa nani mo iranai amaneku hikari yo sachiare)
(watashi no kaeru basho ni wa hitori janai)

Even if I pretended I forgot
the yarn I spun won’t be undone
I just want to live “normally”
like everyone else does
Someday surely all alone
I think I’ll still be crying, because of that
I want to see the stars together
forever in love in love in love in love gently back to back
(I don’t need any words – good luck, all-seeing light)
(Where I’m going home to, I won’t be alone)

Requested by my friend Chiss. Special thanks to Tegamin for transcribing the lyrics, and to Maria for sending me the scans.

“The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky,” could this possibly be refering to heaven?

数多に注ぐ　光に洗われた
何かが欠けて　閉じたこの世界で
地平に溶ける　水平のかなたを
誰かがきっと　見ていた

amata ni sosogu hikari ni arawareta
nani ka ga kakete tojita kono sekai de
chihei ni tokeru suihei no kanata wo
dare ka ga kitto miteita

I was washed by the downpour of light
Something’s missing in this closed off world
Someone has certainly been looking beyond the horizon
that melts at ground level

望んだものが　偽りだとしても
時がやがては　真実に変えるなら
意味も理由も　本当はあるのでしょう
だけど見向きもしないでしょう

nozonda mono ga itsuwari da toshite mo
toki ga yagate wa shinjitsu ni kaeru nara
imi mo riyuu mo honto wa aru no deshou
dakedo mi muki mo shinai deshou

Even if what I wished for is nothing but a lie
If in the end time turns into truth
then meaning and reason would really exist, right?
But it’ll be looked right past won’t it?

どこへ　どこかへ　流れ流されて行こう
帰り支度のまま　心細い旅路
誰が　誰もが　手を振っては夢のあと
今を確かめるように

doko e doko ka e nagare nagasarete yukou
kaeri jitaku no mama kokorobosoi tabiji
dare ga dare mo ga te wo futte wa yume no ato
ima wo tashikameru you ni

To some place, to somewhere, the stream shall go and be drained
as I’m preparing to return home, it’s a lonely journey
Afterwards, after this dream, everyone will wave their hands
as if checking to make sure that they’re awake

人は楽園と呼ぶ　いつか辿り着く場所は
なぜか懐かしい空で
儚げに　おぼろげに　どうしてそんな不安そうに
覗き込む蓮華鏡

hito wa rakuen to yobu itsuka tadori tsuku basho wa
naze ka natsukashii sora de
hakanage ni oboroge ni doushite sonna fuan sou ni
nozoki komu rengekyou

The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky
Fleetingly and vaguely, why so seeming anxiously
do I peer into the lotus mirror?

色の次には　音までなくなって
寂しさだけが　支配する世界で
明けに照らされ
それでも濁り酒は　月を映した

iro no tsugi ni wa oto made nakunatte
sabishisa dake ga shihai suru sekai de
ake ni terasare
sore demo nigorizake wa tsuki wo utsushita

The spectrum between colour and sound dies out
In a world controlled by loneliness alone
I was shined upon by the dawn
but even so my cloudy sake reflected the moon

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life

近く楽園はもう　永遠じゃないと知り
静かに役を終える
たとえその日が来ても
あなたはあなたのままで　在り続けるのでしょう
故に、永遠の巫女

chikaku rakuen wa mou eien janai to shiri
shizuka ni yaku wo oeru
tatoe sono hi ga kitemo anata wa anata no mama de ari tsuzukeru no deshou
yueni, towa no miko

Knowing that the close by paradise is no longer eternal
and quietly ending your duty
for example even if that day did come
you would continue to remain the same as you are wouldn’t you?
And so, would be an eternal shrine maiden

楽園はまた　生まれ変わろうとしてる
とても懐かしい空へ
陰と陽、夢想、綺想が　終わるじゃなく繋がる
此処が夢、此処が境

rakuen wa mata umare kawarou to shiteru
totemo natsukashii sora e
in to you, musou, kisou ga owaru janaku tsunagaru
koko ga yume, koko ga sakai

Paradise tries to be reborn again
towards a very nostalgic sky
Yin and yang, dreams, and fantastic ideas are connected without an end
Here is a dream, here is a border

楽園はただ　全てを受け入れよう
忘れ去られた　全て
それは東の国の　名前のない御伽噺
遙か遠きに　失はれた幻想
続いてく

rakuen wa tada subete wo uke ireyou
wasure sarareta subete
sore wa higashi no kuni no namae no nai otogibanashi
haruka tooki ni ushinawareta gensou
tsuzuite ku

Paradise shall just accept everything
everything that was forgotten
That’s the nursery rhyme without a name from that eastern country
Far away off in the distance, the fantasies that were lost
continue on

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life
Open up your eyes and you’ll see the truth
