I love when a good translation comes together. When the lyrics are so down to earth that it actually looks like you know what you’re doing.

暗がりで　膝抱えて
繋いでいた　夕日の色
誰にも　気にされないで
消えてなくなりたかった

kuragari de hiza kakaete
tsunaideta yuuhi no iro
dare ni mo ki ni sarenai de
kiete naku naritakatta

In the dark I held my knees
and connected the colours of sunset
With no one to care
I wanted to disappear and die off

捨てられないものばかり
集めては　微笑んでた
誰のための物語？
いつから迷い込んでた？

suterarenai mono bakari
atsumete wa hohoendeta
dare no tame no monogatari?
itsu kara mayoi kondeta?

I just can’t throw these things away
I smiled as I collected them
Just who’s sake is this story for?
How long has it been since I’ve gone astray?

あの日に浮かんだ笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　似ていて

ano hi ni ukanda waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo niteite

The laughter that floated around on that day
also resembles the shrieks of the present me

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

ienai

言えない

I can’t speak

心満たされないまま
繋いでいた　曇り空に
映した　幼さの色
ズレ始めた　物語

kokoro mitasarenai mama
tsunaideita kumorizora ni
utsushita osanasa no iro
zure hajimeta monogatari

Unable to fill my heart’s desires
colours of immaturity were reflected
in the connected cloudy sky
This story started to fall out of place

あからさまな結末に
おびえては　微笑んでた
僕のための物語
崩れて書き直すばかり

akarasama na ketsumatsu ni
obiete wa hohoendeta
boku no tame no monogatari
kuzurete kakinaosu bakari

They smile as I become afraid of
a plain and simple ending
This story is for my sake
merely crumbling and being rewritten

あの日に壊した笑い声
今の僕の悲鳴にも　聴こえて

ano hi ni kowashita waraigoe
ima no boku no himei ni mo kikoete

The laughter destroyed on that day
also sounds like the shrieks of the me now

小さな部屋で　星を散りばめて
祈っていたの　ただ祈っていたの
離れて　また近づいて
笑顔で　傷つけるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de hoshi o chiri bamete
inotteita no tada inotteita no
hanarete mata chikadzuite
egao de kizutsukeru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I prayed, I did nothing but pray
Growing apart and then drawing near again
they hurt me with their smiles after all
Ah, even now

癒えない

ienai

I’ll never heal

小さな部屋で　夢を散りばめて
願っていたの　ただ願っていたの
感情は消しておいて
心に突き刺さるから
ああ　今も

chiisa na heya de yume o chiri bamete
negatteita no tada negatteita no
kanjou wa keshite oite
kokoro ni tsuki sasaru kara
aa ima mo

Within this small room studded with dreams
I wished, I did nothing but wish
I’ll erase my emotions while I’m ahead
my heart will be impaled after all
Ah, even now

言えない

ienai

I can’t speak

Whoa, spent much longer than I thought I’d need to on this one. It had some pretty tough lines in it, I thought this song was a bit beyond what I could do before I started. I’m not all too familiar with the characters of DDC, so I can’t really offer much input on meanings or anything here this time.

野に一条　渡る川より
こっちよおいで
漂流者を呼び寄せ

no ni hitosuji wataru kawa yori
kocchi yo oide
hyouryuusha o yobi yose

Rather than the river extending across the plain
come over this way instead
I call out for the drifters

心を食み　枯れ切った頃に
病み患い熱を帯びて

kokoro o hami karekitta koro ni
yami wazurai netsu o obite

Back when I ate my heart and withered up
sick with malady, I wore a fever

離れる　流れる
抗えないことばかり
滝は雨　泣いた雨
汚れた身を削いで空

hanareru nagareru
aragaenai koto bakari
taki wa ame naita ame
kegareta mi o soide sora

Drifting away, streaming away
nothing but going with the flow
Waterfalls of rain, the sky cried down rain
chipping away at my polluted body

怒りを裂け夜ら　癒えるものか
願いの族　小人である

ikari o sake yora ieru mono ka
negai no zoku kobito de aru

The nights cleave up anger, like hell I’ll be healed
in this clan of wishers, as a Kobito

紙芝居の続きを秘めて
時　遥かに　肖像画の人はと

kamishibai no tsuzuki o himete
toki haruka ni shouzouga no hito wa to

“When you hide the sequel to the paper picture story
far off in time, what about the people in the portrait?”

問いかければ　知らぬと応え
もういいよ　おいで　あれは君

toikakereba shiranu to kotae
mou ii yo oide are wa kimi

If that question is asked, “I don’t know” is the response
Don’t worry about it, come now, that there is you

降りやめ　閉じた雨
浸るほどに満ちてまた
錆びた雨　黴びた雨
打ちつけた　彩り坂

furi yame tojita ame
hitaru hodo ni michite mata
sabita ame kabita ame
uchitsuketa irodori saka

The rain that closed, that stopped pouring
grows again to the point where I’m soaked
The rusted rain, the moldy rain
beat down against the hill’s colours

月舞踏は夜明けまでの宴
地鳴り篭る

tsuki butou wa yoake made no utage
jinari komaru

The moon’s dance is a party up until dawn
I’m confined to the ground’s rumbles

積みきれたかい？
そんな鬼の落し物を━。

tsumi kireta kai?
sonna oni no otoshimono o

Did I pack it with me?
The lost property of that oni

出し風場になぁれ
次の世へと渡るなら
舞い風刃になぁれ
もしもそれを望むなら

dashi kaze ba ni naare
tsugi no yo e to wataru nara
maikaze ba ni naare
moshimo sore o nozomu nara

It’ll become a place of rushing wind
if I cross into the next world
It’ll turn to dancing razor wind
if I were to wish it so

見つけての声はそこにいたか
禊の針

mitsukete no koe wa soko ni ita ka
misogi no hari

Was the voice I found really there?
In that purification needle

光を刺せ夜ら　褒美の実とは
その日を乞う祈りである

hikari o sase yo ra houbi no mi to wa
sono hi o kou inori de aru

The light piercing nights, the fruit of their reward is
begging for that day, as a prayer

Rebirth

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

Requested by Maria, this song actually seems to be part of an interlinked plot between the songs and albums. I wonder what happened before this?

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く　プログラムへと
仕組まれた「解」は視えずに　missing　link　幻影のままで━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku puroguramu e to
shikumareta 「kotae」 wa miezu ni missing link maboroshi no mama de

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into a program
Without seeing the planned “solution” the missing link remains an illusion

乾いた大地を撫でる狂気の風　吹き抜けて行く
乱された境界線、マイナスへの符号が重なる

kawaita daichi o naderu kyouki no kaze fuki nukete iku
midasareta kyoukaisen, mainasu e no fugou ga kasanaru

The wind of madness gently brushes across the parched earth, blowing through
The borderline was thrown into disorder, code turns negative and piles up

羅列されたcodeの海に溺れて
logical　chart　　停まらない衝動、吞み込まれてく

raretsu sareta code no umi ni oborete
logical chart tomaranai shoudou, nomi komareteku

Drowning in the sea of enumerated code
The logical chart, unstopped impulses, are swallowed up

消えゆくmemory.歪んだ視界　映し出す在りし日の残像
寄り添い歩み繋いだ誓い　壊れはじめる
抗う術を無くした腕は遠い過去を仰ぎ
消え行く光、掴めないまま凍り付いて逝く…

kie yuku memory. yuganda shikai utsushi dasu arishi hi no zanzou
yori soi ayumi tsunaida chikai koware hajimeru
aragau sube o nakushita ude wa tooi kako o aogi
kie yuku hikari, tsukamenai mama koori tsuite yuku…

Memory gradually fades. In this distorted field of vision the afterimage of the old days are projected
The sworn oath walks, getting close, and begins to be destroyed
Having lost the means to resist, my arm reaches for the distant past
Unable to grasp the disappearing light, I’ll be frozen…

0と1がムゲンの螺旋を描く　アナグラムへと
刻まれた逃れる事出来ない　my　fate　繰り返して━━

zero to ichi ga mugen no rasen o egaku anaguramu e to
kizamareta nogaretu koto dekinai my fate kuri kaeshite

Zeroes and ones draw an infinite spiral into an anagram
I can’t follow the escape plan that was carved, my fate repeats

ノイズと熱に支配された景色に、我は願った。
共に歩んだ人の子等を護る強さを与え給え…
消去されて行く「オモイデ」はゼロになり
やがて、この腕も紅く紅く染まりゆく…

noizu to netsu ni shihai sareta keshiki ni, ware wa negatta.
tomo ni ayunda hito no ko nado o mamoru tsuyosa o atae tamae…
shoukyo sarete yuku 「omoide」 wa zero ni nari
yagate, kono ude mo akaku akaku somari yuku…

Within an environment ruled by noise and fever, I prayed.
Give me the power to protect the children and others I walked together with, please…
My dying out “memories” will turn into zeroes
Soon enough, these arms will also be dyed bloodily…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時　慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
嘆きの雨は紅き涙へ　染まり続ける
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま常闇の中へ…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
nageki no ame wa akaki namida e somari tsudzukeru
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama tokoyami no naka e

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
The rain of grief will keep on being dyed with red tears
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the light, it disappears into endless darkness…

戒めの鐘鳴り響く時　慟哭が重なり、ハジマル。
斯くも儚き脈打つ鼓動　壊し続ける
『今標されし墓標の影に　望むは黒き血の穏招』
無限の彼方、聞こえる運命　我に降り注ぎ…
災い照らす史書に導かれし未来は遠く
消え逝く光、護れないまま　やがて生まれ変わる
覚醒の閧を上げて　破壊の隷属へと…

imashime no kane nari hibiku toki doukoku ga kasanari, hajimaru.
kakumo hanaki myaku utsu kodou kowashi tsudzukeru
『ima shirusareshi bohyou no kage ni nozomu wa kuroki chi no onshou』
mugen no kanata, kikoeru sadame ware ni furi sosogi…
wazawai terasu shisho ni michibikareshi mirai wa tooku
kie yuku hikari, mamorenai mama yagate umare kawaru
mezame no toki o agete hakai no reizoku e to…

When the bell of caution chimes, the wailing screams start to overlap
My pounding heartbeat is so fleeting, as it continues to destroy
‘Right now in the shadows of the marked gravestones, what I desire are the calm beckons of the black blood’
Beyond infinity, I can hear my destiny, it downpours onto me…
The future led by the history books that shed light on catastrophes is now distant
Unable to protect the disappearing light, before long I’ll start a new life
I’ll raise up my war cry when I awake, towards the underlings of destruction…

 

This song is actually pretty far down the story, it'd probably more sense if I had translated what came previous to it.
