疾走する悲しみの中で | In the Midst of Dashing Grief

Requested by Mayu, the second ever Kancolle song on this site. I enjoyed Katharsis’ first album, 女神の口づけを, and this song sounds pretty great too, as well as having pretty cool lyrics, though I’ve never played the game. Seems like Satellite needs to pick up the slack.

いつも脳裏に浮かぶは死の淵
今日も見てみないフリで誤魔化す

itsu mo nouri ni ukabu wa shi no fuchi
kyou mo mite minai furi de gomakasu

The chasm of death always floats to my mind
Today I pretend not to see it and play dumb again

いつか歴史を繰り返すのだろう
その日怖れ生きてきた

itsu ka rekishi o kuri kaesu no darou
sono hi osore ikite kita

Someday, history will repeat itself, won’t it?
I’ve lived in fear of that day

分かってほしいアナタに話をしたら
「私も同じだよ」と ただ笑った

wakatte hoshii anata ni hanashi o shitara
「watashi mo onaji da yo」 to tada waratta

When I talked to you, hoping you’d understand,
you simply laughed, “I feel the same”

疾走する悲しみの中
二人は戦う
忌まわしい記憶
塗り替えるために

shissou suru kanashimi no naka
futari wa tatakau
imawashii kioku
nuri kaeru tame ni

In the midst of dashing grief
us two fight
in an attempt to paint over
unpleasant memories

帰ろう 鎮守府へと
海底に用はない
掴め、無限の未来
新たな歴史刻め

kaerou chinjufu e to
kaitei ni you wa nai
tsukame, mugen no mirai
arata na rekishi kizame

Let’s return back to home base
We have no purpose in the abyss
Take hold of an infinite future
Engrave your own new history

優しい嘘だと思っていたが
いつしか信じてみたくなっていた

yasashii uso da to omotteita ga
itsu shika shinjite mitaku natteita

At first I thought it was just a white lie,
but before I knew it, I grew wanting to believe

過去には無かった 確かな絆を
今のアナタには感じる

kako ni wa nakatta tashika na kizuna o
ima no anata ni wa kanjiru

I feel a certain bond with you now
that wasn’t there in the past

もしもアナタが心を痛めたならば
またあの時のように 勇気付けたい

moshi mo anata ga kokoro o itameta naraba
mata ano toki no you ni yuukidzuketai

If you get ever feel pain in your heart,
just like that one time, I want to cheer you up again

疾走する悲しみの中
二人は手を取る
時間をかけ得た絆
魅せつけろ
手にせよ 未知の強さ
こんなものじゃないはず
掴め、無限の未来
新たな歴史刻め

shissou suru kanashimi no naka
futari wa te o toru
jikan o kake eta kizuna
mise tsukero
te ni seyo michi no tsuyosa
konna mono janai hazu
tsukame, mugen no mirai
arata na rekishi kizame

In the midst of dashing grief
us two hold hands
Bonds we’ve earned through time,
cast your spell
Take hold of this unknown strength
It doesn’t have to be like this
Take hold of an infinite future
Engrave your own new history

もしもアナタが心を痛めたならば
またあの時のように 勇気付けたい

moshi mo anata ga kokoro o itameta naraba
mata ano toki no you ni yuukidzuketai

If you get ever feel pain in your heart,
just like that one time, I want to cheer you up again

負けられない理由が
二人を強くさせる
忌まわしい記憶
否定をするため

makerarenai riyuu ga
futari o tsuyoku saseru
imawashii kioku
hitei suru tame

The reason we can’t lose
allows us to be strong
for the sake of renouncing
unpleasant memories

帰ろう 鎮守府へと
海底に用はない
掴め、無限の未来
新たな歴史刻め

kaerou chinjufu e to
kaitei ni you wa nai
tsukame, mugen no mirai
arata na rekishi kizame

Let’s return back to home base
We have no purpose in the abyss
Take hold of an infinite future
Engrave your own new history

海にその名を轟かせ

umi ni sono na o todorokase

Make your name roar throughout the seas

この先は 何も見えないなら
この羽で 包んであげるから

kono saki wa nani mo mienai nara
kono hane de tsutsunde ageru kara

If you can’t see anything beyond this point,
I’ll wrap you up with my wings

求める者は 幻にさえも 手を出す
巻き込まれてく 夢や望みさえ 叶わず
立ち向かうなら きっと牙をむく 天使は
死なばもろとも 囁く

motomeru mono wa maboroshi ni sae mo te o dasu
maki komarete ku yume ya nozomi sae kanawazu
tachi mukau nara kitto kiba o muku tenshi wa
shinaba morotomo sasayaku

Those who seek reach out even to illusions
They become engulfed, without dreams or even hopes fulfilled
If you take a stand, the angel surely baring her fangs
will whisper “we shall die together”

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
見えるその天使は 死神
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
時は天使さえも 暗闇に消え

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
mieru sono tenshi wa shinigami
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
toki wa tenshi sae mo kurayami ni kie

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
The angel you see is a reaper
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
In time, even angels fade into the darkness

この夢が 幻と言うなら
悪夢さえ 現実とわからず

kono yume ga maboroshi to iu nara
akumu sae genjitsu to wakarazu

If you call this dream an illusion,
you don’t understand that even nightmares are real

何も見えない この世の果てから 貴方は
見つめ続けた 綺麗な羽した 天使を
逃れきれない 悪夢の中まで 誘う
それさえ今も 知らずに

nani mo mienai kono yo no hate kara anata wa
mitsume tsudzuketa kirei na hane shita tenshi o
nogare kirenai akumu no naka made izanau
sore sae ima mo shirazu ni

At the ends of the earth, you continued to gaze with nothing to see
There’s no escape from the angel with beautiful wings
She will lure you into the middle of the nightmare
Even now, you don’t have the faintest clue

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
見えたその希望は 幻
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
時は天使さえも 死神に変え

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
mieta sono kibou wa maboroshi
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
toki wa tenshi sae mo shinigami ni kae

If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
The hope you saw was an illusion
If I must suffer my downfall you, I’m going to
take you with me.
In time, even angels turn into reapers

開かずのドア ひらけゴマで
ちょいと腕試し
今日は なんだか
いけないことしたいのよ

akazu no doa hirake goma de
choito udedameshi
kyou wa nandaka
ikenai koto shitai no yo

I want to try saying “open sesame”
to open a locked door
Today, for some reason,
I want to try things I shouldn’t do

誘い口上 並べて登場で
さあ始めようか
秘密は ひとりで
内緒は ふたりで
指切りの合図で

sasoi koujou narabete toujou de
saa hajimeyou ka
himitsu wa hitori de
naisho wa futari de
yubikiri no aizu de

With an intro speech, everyone line up on stage
Come now, shall we begin?
Secrets are for one person
Privacy is for two people
marked by a pinky promise

キミとボクがリンクする
境界線なら綱渡り
踊れや歌えや今夜
あの世も この世もない

kimi to boku ga rinku suru
kyoukaisen nara tsunawatari
odore ya utae ya konya
ano yo mo kono yo mo nai

As for the borderline we’re linking
you and I, we’re tightrope walking
Dance and sing, tonight there’s no difference
between this world and the next

右か左か
良いか悪いか
くるくるくる変わる
きっと答えは ウラのウラ
のウラ

migi ka hidari ka
ii ka warui ka
kuru kuru kuru kawaru
kitto kotae wa ura no ura
no ura

Right or left
Good or bad
It’ll go round and round and change
For sure, the answer is the reverse of the reverse
of the reverse

彼の岸へ-120416- | Towards the Far Shore-120416-

Requested by Scoupius Bluese. I haven’t heard too many songs like this. It has a really interesting atmosphere to it. Some of the stanzas overlap and have what seems like multiple singers singing at once, so be careful. I’m not too sure who the singers are though. I don’t know the significance of the numbers in the title either.

Notes: 彼の岸 and 此の岸 literally mean “far shore” and “close shore,” but they’re in reference to the Sanzu river: the Buddhist version of the River Styx. This is the border between our world and the next.

凍りつく心 ひとり 寂しくてほろほろり

koori tsuku kokoro hitori samishikute horo horori

My heart freezes, lonely, all by myself (tears trickle)

夕暮れ闇の水面に 映すは此の岸の
哀しい目の子供
ひとりぼっちで遊んでいた

yuugure yami no minamo ni utsusu wa kono gishi no
kanashii me no kodomo
hitori bocchi de asondeita

Children of this side of the shore with grieving eyes reflect
on the evening’s dark water surface
They were playing in solitude

神様がくれた贈り物
たったひとつの大切な宝物
”あの時から ずっと 一緒。”

kamisama ga kureta okurimono
tatta hitotsu no taisetsu no takaramono
“ano toki kara zutto issho.”

The gift that God gave me
is my one and only precious treasure
“I’ve always been with you, since then.”

溶けていく心 ふたり 寄り添って ふわふわり

tokete yuku kokoro futari yori sotte fuwa fuwari

My hearts melts away, as we grow close (softly softly)

木漏れ日舞うお社に 祈るは彼の岸の
愛する君の永遠の安らかな眠りの為に

komorebi mau oyashiro ni inoru wa kano gishi no
aisuru kimi no towa no yasuraka na nemuri no tame ni

In the shrine where the filtered light dances, my prayers are dedicated
for the sake of my beloved, for your eternal rest in peace on the other side

どんなに離れていても大丈夫
優しい君の想い 最期に知った
”いつまでも ずっと 一緒。”

donna ni hanareteitemo daijoubu
yasashii kimi no omoi saigo ni shitta
“itsu made mo zutto issho.”

No matter how far we are, it’ll be alright
I learned your kind feelings in the bitter end
“I’ll always be with you, forever.”

ありがとう 大好き 絶対忘れない
君が遺してくれた あったかい温もり
”あの時から ずっと 一緒。”

arigatou daisuki zettai wasurenai
kimi ga nokoshite kureta attakai nukumori
“ano toki kara zutto issho.”

Thank you, I love you, and I absolutely won’t forget
the gentle warmth that you left behind for me
“I’ve always been with you, since then.”

電話鳴ったあの時に
覚悟をね 決めていたはずなのにね
最期まで心配かけたね
もう泣かない 約束
「おやすみなさい」

denwa natta ano toki ni
kakugo o ne kimeteita hazu nanoni ne
saigo made shinpai kaketa ne
mou nakanai yakusoku
「oyasuminasai」

When the phone rang
I had prepared myself, or so I thought
Until the very end, I made you worry
Promise me you won’t cry anymore
“Good night”

彼岸と此岸 繋がる橋に この歌響け
「おかえりなさい」

higan to shigan tsunagaru hashi ni kono uta hibike
「okaerinasai」

My song, resound to the bridge between this world and the next
“Welcome home”
