キラキラ確かなフリしても
キラキラ何度も星たちが
キラキラ何度も星たちが
この世界のひとつの１人の素顔が
僕らを変えてゆく
はるばる何世紀さえ

kirakira tashika na furi shite mo
kirakira nandomo hoshitachi ga
kirakira nandomo hoshitachi ga
kono sekai no hitotsu no hitori no sugao ga
bokura o kaete yuku
harubaru nanseiki sae

Twinkle twinkle, even though it’s surely pretend..
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
The one true face of one person in this world
is reaching to change us all
even all the way across centuries

この世界の内側で
２つのものを比べてくと
変わらないで創られて
頭の中を崩して

kono sekai no uchigawa de
futatsu no mono o kurabeteku to
kawaranai de tsukurarete
atama no naka o kuzushite

Within the inside of this world
if you’re to compare two things
it can be made so there’s no difference
I will destroy what’s in your mind

まだ忘れず１人帰る
今確かめられるかな

mada wasurezu hitori kaeru
ima tashikamerareru kana

One person who still has not forgotten returns home
Can they tell something’s off right now?

キラキラ確かなフリしても
新しい月よりも膨らんでるよ
嘘なら確かめよう
価値がないと綺麗になる
キラキラ何度も星たちが
この世界のひとつの1人の素顔が
僕らを変えてゆく
はるばる何世紀さえ

 
kirakira tashika na furi shite mo
atarashii tsuki yorimo fukuranderu yo
uso nara tashikameyou
kachi ga nai to kirei ni naru
kirakira nandomo hoshitachi ga
kono sekai no hitotsu no hitori no sugao ga
bokura o kaete yuku
harubaru nanseiki sae

Twinkle twinkle, even though it’s surely pretend
it’s expanding even bigger than the new moon
If you think it’s a lie, let’s check for sure
It will become beautiful and priceless
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
The one true face of one person in this world
is reaching to change us all
even far across the centuries

君が良いと人が言うと
まだわかんない
迷ってるの
進んでゆく未来さえも
両手に空を抱えて

kimi ga ii to hito ga iu to
mada wakannai
mayotteru no
susunde yuku mirai sae mo
ryoute ni sora o kakaete

Why people say “You’re a good person”
I still don’t understand
I’m lost
Even the approaching future
holds up the sky with both arms

今壊れる世界の中で
わからないのはなにかな

ima kowareru sekai no naka de
wakaranai no wa nani kana

Right now, within the inside of this broken world
what is it that I don’t understand?

２人で何度も花咲いて
一番星よりも広く膨らむ
そう確かなものじゃない
この歴史は語るために
外側から見た幻想は
この世界の仕組みを少しも変えずに
もう最後に塵となる
これから何世紀さえ

futari de nandomo hanasaite
ichibanboshi yori mo hiroku fukuramu
sou tashika na mono janai
kono rekishi wa kataru tame ni
sotogawa kara mita gensou wa
kono sekai no shikumi o sukoshi mo kaezu ni
mou saigo ni chiri to naru
korekara nanseiki sae

Together, again and again, blooming
becoming even larger than the largest star in the sky
That’s right, it’s not something that’s real
for the sake of this history to speak
Watching this illusion from the outside
without changing the structure of the world in the slightest
In the very end, it amounts to dust
from here on out and even centuries on

嘘じゃない
何度も花咲いて
この世界の仕組みは少しも変わらず
壊して創られた
言葉の本質の中
立ち止まって見た
この空で一番星よりも輝くものは
そう確かなものじゃない
まるで約束主義みたい

uso janai
nandomo hanasaite
kono sekai no shikumi wa sukoshi mo kawarazu
kowashite tsukurareta
kotoba no honshitsu no naka
tachi domatte mita
kono sora de ichibanboshi yori mo kagayaku mono wa
sou tashika na mono janai
marude yakusoku shugi mitai

It’s not a lie
blooming again and again
without changing the structure of the world in the slightest
It can be destroyed, and rebuilt again
it’s in the essence of my words
At this sky that I stopped and looked at
what’s even brighter than the brightest star in the sky is
that’s right, it’s not something that’s for real
it seems as if a rule was made

キラキラ確かなフリしても
新しい月よりも膨らんでるよ
嘘なら確かめよう
価値がないと綺麗になる
キラキラ何度も星たちが
この世界のひとつの１人の素顔が
僕らを変えてゆく
はるばる何世紀さえ

kirakira tashika na furi shite mo
atarashii tsuki yori mo fukuranderu yo
uso nara tashikameyou
kachi ga nai to kirei ni naru
kirakira nandomo hoshitachi ga
kono sekai no hitotsu no hitori no sugao ga
bokura o kaete yuku
harubaru nanseiki sae

Twinkle twinkle, even though it’s surely pretend
it’s expanding even bigger than the new moon
If you think it’s a lie, let’s check for sure
It will become beautiful and priceless
Over and over the stars twinkle twinkle
The one true face of one person in this world

Kanon

Requested by Primity. This song really sounds traditional, and the language used reflects it too. This was the hardest song I’ve translated yet I think.

Notes: 「調べ」 usually tends means something along the lines of “investigation” or “examination,” but going with the classical theme here, it would lean more to “tune” or “musical performance”, or things such as that.

Near the end of the song, during the footsteps, you can hear a 「おはようございます」 (Good morning) being said, which is Kyouko’s signature line in the Ten Desires storyline, suggesting that it’s her. Kyouko’s a yamabiko (山彦), who people in ancient times believed were responsible for causing the echoes around mountains, which also fits in perfectly with this song.

遥けし春霞　淡く色づき
踏み入れた春日道　白に包まれゆく

harukeshi harugasumi awaku irodzuki
fumi ireta kasuga shiro ni tsutsumare yuku

The far off springtime haze faintly changes colours
Treading along the path of spring sunlight, I’m soon going to be concealed by white

浮かび来る深き谷の中に響く声
投げかけし闇に等しき応え　刹那に木霊舞い戻る
ukabi kuru fukaki tani no naka ni hibiku koe
nage kakeshi yami ni hitoshiki kotae setsuna ni kodama mai modoru

The voice echoes deep within the valley and comes  floating back up
or into the rising darkness, all the same, a response instantly echoes and dances back

誰かいるのかと問えば
誰かいるのか　と我の事を呼ぶ
遥か昔の神々の調べ　重なり響く

dareka iru no ka to toeba
dareka iru no ka to ware no koto o yobu
harukamukashi no kamigami no shirabe kasanari hibiku

If I ask “Is anyone there” then
“Is anyone there” will call out back to myself
The echoes of the melody of gods from long ago overlap

遥けし春霞　たなびく山の
咲き誇る桜花さえ　その身を隠しゆく

harukeshi harugasumi tanabiku yama no
saki hokoru ouka sae sono mi o kakeshi yuku

The far off springtime haze lingers around the mountain
Even the sakura in full blossom will proceed to hide themselves away

人一人彷徨い　怪達住まう地に
古に伝う懐かしき唄　聞こえる数多の言葉

hito hitori samayoi ayakashitachi sumau chi ni
inishie ni tsutau natsukashiki uta kikoeru amata no kotoba

As people wander about alone, the dead reside under the ground
I follow the nostalgic song from ancient times that can be heard, the words are plenty

霞む視界の先に幽か見ゆ　碧の少女の姿
声は立ちのぼる煙となり　また導いてゆく

kasumu shikai no saki ni kasuka miyu midori no kodomo no sugata
koe wa tachi noboru kemu tonari mata michibiite yuku

After the blurred field of vision clears up the green silhouette of a girl becomes faintly visible
her voice rises up alongside the smoke and once again proceeds to show the way

Requested forever ago by Soph, and a big shout out to Tegamin for finding me the lyrics and making this possible!

This song reminds me a lot of western rock for some reason.

目覚め　咲いた時から　君の手だけ握って
答え　分からないけど　今を歩こう

mezame saita toki kara kimi no te dake nigitte
kotae wakaranai kedo ima o arukou

Ever since I woke up and bloomed, I gripped only your hand
Although I don’t know the answer, let’s walk over the present

リンクして　そう　奏でれば　音は増して
遥か遠くまで　響き渡れ　いつでも
タッチして　そう　奏でれば　色は増して
忘れないでいて　光の弦を弾いた記憶を

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
haruka tooku made hibiki watare itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
wasurenai de ite hikari no gen o hajiita kioku o

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Far out through the lands it will resound, forever
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Don’t forget the memories of us playing this chord of light

たとえ　喧騒にまみれて　足を止めてしまって
壊れかけた時でも　今を繋ごう

tatoe kensou ni mamirete ashi o tomete shimatte
koware kaketa toki demo ima o tsunagou

Let’s say that we were overplayed by great noise, stopping us in our tracks
Even when we’re in ruin, let’s connect over the present

リンクして　そう　奏でれば　音は増して
そばで輝いて　振り返らず　いつでも
タッチして　そう　奏でれば　色は増して
そばで囁いて　目を逸らさず　このまま強く

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
soba de kagayaite furi kaerazu itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
soba de sasayaite me o sorasazu kono mama tsuyoku

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Shining at my side without looking back, always
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Whispering by my side with such a strong gaze as this

Ｕｐ　ｔｏ　ｗｈｅｒｅ．．．ゆらゆらと
Ｕｐ　ｔｏ　ｗｈｅｒｅ．．．君が

Up to where… yurayura to
Up to where… kimi ga

Up to where… are you swaying?
Up to where… are you?

リンクして　そう　奏でれば　音は増して
遥か遠くまで　響き渡れ　いつでも
タッチして　そう　奏でれば　色は増して
忘れないでいて　光の弦を弾いた記憶を

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
haruka tooku made hibiki watare itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
wasurenai de ite hikari no gen o hajiita kioku o

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Far out through the lands it will resound, forever
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Don’t forget the memories of us playing this chord of light

Requested by Kii. This was a long one, but it sure was worth it! I’m going to be addicted to this for a long time.

A few notes: For some reason, there are a few changes between the booklet and the sung song, such as 空間 becoming 世界, and the absence of 星 in a few lines, but overall there’s not much of an impact to it.

Now, back to enjoying the music~

★ Title: Panoramic Spectra
☆ Album: 夢 -YUME-
★ Album Artist: SOUND HOLIC
☆ Vocals: Nana Takahashi (高橋菜々)
★ Lyrics and arrangement: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Starbow Dream (スターボウドリーム)

 

時空　夢　揺れる　視界
観たい　夢　その行く先
時空　夢　照らす　光
君の　夢　その行く先

jikuu yume yureru shikai
mitai yume sono yuku saki
jikuu yume terasu hikari
kimi no yume sono yuku saki

A dimensional dream, my vision shakes
A dream I’d like to observe, that’s the destination
A dimensional dream, a shining light
Your dream, that’s the destination

まだ探してる零度の先眠る
金の色を待つ星を抱いた宇宙
今でもどこかに咲いているパノラマ
今でも何かを探してる星雨の中

mada sagashiteru reido no saki nemuru
kin no iro o matsu hoshi o daita uchuu
ima demo doko ka ni saiteiru panorama
ima demo nani ka o sagashiteru ame no naka

Still I search for what rests beyond absolute zero
The cosmos embrace the star waiting for gold
Even now, somewhere a panorama is blooming
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

響く歌滲む視界それさえももう幻
それでも響く歌のその先の描く未来を辿る旅
広がる　Ｐａｎｏｒａｍｉｃ　Ｓｐｅｃｔｒａ

hibiku uta nijimu shikai sore sae mo mou maboroshi
sore demo hibiku uta no sono saki no egaku mirai o tadoru tabi
hirogaru Panoramic Spectra

An echoing song, or a blurry field of view, even those are now illusions
Even so I will pursue this path, a future that draws beyond an echoing song
into a vast panoramic spectra

いらないよその　ｈｅｓｉｔａｔｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｗｈｏｓｅ　ｄｏｍｉｎａｔｉｏｎ？
今速さを超えて向かう　ｔａｋｅ　ｏｆｆ！
君を待つ　ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ　ｅｖｏｌｕｔｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ
さあ古い記憶は捨てて　ｍｏｖｅ　ｏｎ！

iranai yo sono hesitation kowasu no wa whose domination?
ima hayasa o koete mukau take off!
kimi o matsu another evolution kowasu no wa systems of yourself
saa furui kioku wa sutete move on!

We don’t need that hesitation, what will we destroy, whose domination?
Now heading beyond the speed of light, take off!
Waiting for you, another evolution, it’ll destroy systems of yourself
Come now, throw away your old memories and move on!

揺れる　その手を　重ねて　（振りほどいて）
星も　涙も　並べて　（何が見える）
透ける　言葉に　預けて　（心の色）
声に　ならない　想いを　（求めている）

yureru sono te o kasanete (furi hodoite)
hoshi mo namida mo narabete (nani ga mieru)
sukeru kotoba ni azukete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (motometeiru)

Take those stirring hands and once more (shake yourself free)
Lining up the stars and tears (What do you see?)
Leaving in the care of clear words (the colour of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (seeking them)

過ぎる　景色は　七色　（眩しいのに）
小さな　その手で　かかげて　（力になる）
君は　微かに　笑って　（手を握って）
宇宙の　隙間に　まぎれて　（消えて行った）

sugiru keshiki wa nana iro (mabushii noni)
chiisa na sono te de kakagete (chikara ni naru)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The passing landscape blurs into a spectra (although it’s dazzling)
With your own small hands you raised it up (I will help you)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)

軽い目眩を繰り返して眠る
暗黒の果てにある星に咲いた形
今でもどこかで泣いているジレンマ
今でも何かを求めてる星雨の中

karui memai o kurikaeshite memuri
kuro no hate ni aru hoshi ni saita katachi
ima demo doko ka de naiteiru jirenma
ima demo nani ka o motometeru ame no naka

Feeling a light dizziness again, I sleep
A shape blossomed in the star at the edge of darkness
Even now somewhere, someone’s crying in a dilemma
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

どうかまた同じ場所で出会えたら素敵ですね
信じて巡る宇宙のその先の遠い未来を願う旅
消える　Ｐａｎｏｒａｍｉｃ　Ｓｐｅｃｔｒａ

douka mata onaji basho de de aetara suteki desu ne
shinjite meguru uchuu no sono saki no tooi mirai o negau tabi
kieru Panoramic Spectra

Wouldn’t it be great if we could somehow meet again at the same place as before?
With faith, it’s a journey of wishing for a far future beyond the revolving universe
It disappears, the Panoramic Spectra

始めようさあ　ｌｅｖｉｔａｔｉｏｎ　Ｙｅｓ，　Ｉ　ｃａｎ　ｂｅ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｔｒｕｅ　ｎａｖｉｇａｔｏｒ
今弱さを超えて光る　ｔａｋｅ　ｏｆｆ！
見えるはず　ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ　ｄｉｍｅｎｓｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｌｉｆｅ
さあこのままどこまででも　ｍｏｖｅ　ｏｎ！

hajimeyou saa levitation Yes, I can be your true navigator
ima yowasa o koete hikaru take off!
mieru hazu another dimension kowasu no wa systems of your life
saa kono mama doko made demo move on!

Come on let’s start the levitation. Yes, I can be your true navigator
Now shining, surpassing any weakness, take off!
We should be able to see another dimension, it’ll destroy systems of your life
Come now, like this we can go anywhere, move on!

広い　空間の　どこかで　（君の声が）
聴こえた　座標を　探してる　（波に消える）
透ける　グラスに　浮かべて　（心の色）
声に　ならない　想いを　（信じている）

hiroi sekai no doko ka de (kimi no koe ga)
kikoeta basho o sagashiteru (nami ni kieru)
sukeru gurasu ni ukabete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (shinjiteiru)

Within this vast world somewhere (your voice is)
Searching for the coordinates that were audible (vanishing into waves)
Held atop by clear glass (the colours of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (I believe in them)

刻む　景色は　七色　（眩しいのに）
胸に　刺さって　抜けずに　（悲しい色）
君は　微かに　笑って　（手を握って）
宇宙の　隙間に　まぎれて　（消えて行った）

mune ni sasatte nukezu ni (kanashii iro)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The etching landscape blurs into spectra (although it’s dazzling)
Lodged in my chest, never to fall out (a colour of sorrow)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)
