Hypersonic Deadly Tour

Gonna be honest, I closed my eyes and ripped the Japanese lyrics straight off Kafka’s site so I could translate this one myself. One of my most anticipated tracks of the album, I haven’t heard Nachi’s voice do things so amazing since those “pi-hyarara”s from Alstroemeria’s “End of Daylight.” Definitely my most favourite arrange of Corpse Voyage. I’d like to say I’m ready to translate the rest of the album right away, but alas, I am still awaiting lyrics.

Notes: The album title is stylized so the D represents a 4, which, pronounced as “shi” in Japanese, is a homonym for death. Lyrics in (brackets) are transcribed by ear.

焼かれた　躯に　残されてる
かつて人だった　物の証
ようこそ　怖がらないで　おいで
新しい　地獄が　君を呼んでいるよ　いるよ

yakareta karada ni nokosareteru
katsute hito datta mono no akashi
youkoso kowagaranai de oide
atarashii sekai ga kimi o yondeiru yo iru yo

Left behind in their scorched corpses
proof of things that were once human
Welcome, don’t be afraid, come over
A new world of Hell is calling for you, for you

（行き来る回る　運命の歯車
ゆらゆら揺れる　魂の悲鳴に）

(iki kuru mawaru unmei no haguruma
yurayura yureru tamashii no himei ni)

(Coming and going, the gears of fate spin
to the screams of the swaying swaying souls)

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
さあ　おやすみなさい
魂の還る場所　連れて行ってあげるから

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
saa oyasuminasai
tamashii no kaeru basho tsurete itte ageru kara

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Come now and sleep well
I’m going to take you to the place where souls return to after all

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
もう　おやすみなさい
焼かれて　踊る影　きれいでしょう
さあ　踊ってみせて　さあ　ほら　はやく

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
mou oyasuminasai
yakarete odoru kage kirei deshou
saa odotte misete saa hora hayaku

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Good night already
Aren’t the dancing shadows being burnt pretty?
Now, show me your dance, go on, hey, hurry

歪んだ　心に　汚されてる
かつて人だった　物の記憶
ようこそ　諦めて　さあ　おいで
美しい　地獄が　君を呼んでいるよ　いるよ

yuganda kokoro ni yogosareteru
katsute hito datta mono no kioku
youkoso akiramete saa oide
utsukushii sekai ga kimi o yondeiru yo iru yo

Soiled by their twisted hearts
memories of things once human
Welcome, come on over, don’t resist
The beautiful world of hell is calling for you, for you

（行き来る　回る運命　の歯車
ゆらゆら揺れる魂の悲鳴に）

(iki kuru mawaru unmei no haguruma
yurayura yureru tamashii no himei ni)

(Coming and going, the gears of fate spin
to the screams of the swaying swaying souls)

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
さあ　おやすみなさい
魂の叫ぶ声　聴かせてあげるから

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
saa oyasuminasai
tamashii no sakebu koe kikasete ageru kara

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Come now and sleep well
I’m going to let you listen to the screaming souls after all

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
もう　おやすみなさい
焼かれて　叫ぶ影　きれいでしょう
さあ　歌ってみせて　さあ　ほら　はやく

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR

saa utatte misete saa hora hayaku

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Good night already
Aren’t the screaming shadows being burnt pretty?
Now, show me your song, go on, hey, hurry

善も悪も無い　この世界　不平等
哀しい願いも　灰にしてあげるから
焼かれる希望に　喜んで泣いている
魂の還る場所　ここがそう終着駅

zen mo aku mo nai kono sekai fubyoudou
kanashii negai mo hai ni shite ageru kara
yakareru kibou ni yorokonde naiteiru
tamashii no kaeru basho koko ga sou last station

There’s no such thing as good and evil in this world
I’ll turn all inequality and your sorrowful desires to ash after all
For souls sobbing with pleasure in hopes set afire
that’s right, this here is the last station

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
さあ　おやすみなさい
魂の還る場所　連れて行ってあげるから

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
saa oyasuminasai
tamashii no kaeru basho tsurete itte ageru kara

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Come now and sleep well
I’m going to take you to the place where souls return to after all

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
もう　おやすみなさい
焼かれて　踊る影　きれいでしょう
さあ　踊ってみせて　さあ　ほら　はやく

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
mou oyasuminasai

saa odotte misete saa hora hayaku

HYPERSONIC DEADLY TOUR
Good night already
Aren’t the dancing shadows being burnt pretty?
Now, show me your dance, go on, hey, hurry

Credit to the original translation by them on the Touhou Wiki here, I saw some blatant mistakes in it that needed fixing, but also decided to add my own spin to it (mainly to make it less assuming). This might give you an idea of my translation style.

目の前に移る景色
ただゆっくりと時を失ってやがて止まる
「この声は届くのかしら・・・？」
それは木霊することなく　地に落ちた
もう気にしないで

me no mae ni utsuru keshiki
tada yukkuri to toki o ushinatte yagate tomaru
「kono koe wa todoku no kashira…?」
sore wa kodama suru koto naku chi ni ochita
mou ki ni shinai de

The scenery that moves in front of me
will just slowly lose its time and eventually stop
“Will my voice reach you…?”
Without an echo, it just dropped dead
Don’t worry about it anymore

一つの軌道描く
銀色染まる時
全ての輝きを
正しく凍らせる

hitotsu no kidou egaku
gin iro somaru toki
subete no kagayaki o
tadashiku kooraseru

Drawing a single orbit
time is dyed silver
perfectly causing
all light to freeze

ゆらめく炎の影さえ
眠らせて
ささやく誰かの声さえ
眠らせて

yurameku honoo no kage sae
nemurasete
sasayaku dare ka no koe sae
nemurasete

Causing even the shadows of wavering flames
to rest
Putting even the whisper of someone’s voice
to rest

the dreams of the silver night
perfectly cause
the end of all noise

ゆらめく明日の影さえ
眠らせて
差し出す手のひらさえも
眠らせて

yurameku ashita no kage sae
nemurasete
sashi dasu te no hira sae mo
nemurasete

Even causing the shadows of tomorrow
to rest
Even putting outstretched hands as well
to rest

目の前を染める景色
もうゆっくりと色を失ってやがて止まる
「その声は届くのかしら・・・？」
それはそうなんてことなく地に落ちた
もう気にしないで

me no mae o someru keshiki
mou yukkuri to iro o ushinatte yagate tomaru
「sono koe wa todoku no kashira…?」
sore wa sou nante koto naku chi ni ochita
mou ki ni shinai de

The scenery that tints what’s before me
will slowly lose its colour and eventually stop
“Will your voice reach me…?”
Without that being the case it just dropped dead
Don’t worry about it anymore

一つの希望を描く
銀色踊る時
全ての過ちも
等しく凍らせる

hitotsu no kibou o egaku
gin iro odoru toki
subete no ayamachi mo
hitoshiku kooraseru

Drawing a single hope
time dances silver
causing all mistakes as well
to freeze all the same

流れる雫の影さえ
眠らせて
ささやくあなたの声さえ
眠らせて

nemurasete
sasayaku anata no koe sae
nemurasete

Allowing even the shadows of flowing droplets
to rest
Putting the whisper of even your voice
to rest

全てはこの時から
等しく終わらせる

gin iro yoru ni saku
subete ha kono toki kara

Drawing a single hope
blossoming in the silver night
causing everything from this point on
to end all the same

眠らせて
見つめる眼差しさえも
眠らせて

nemurasete
mitsumeru manazashi sae mo
nemurasete

Causing even the shadow of the future
to rest
Putting even fixated gazes as well
to rest

With this rimming orbit
when I darkly share this silver
until I I fall like this
I’ll make it freeze all the same

眠らせて
ささやく私の声さえ
眠らせて

nagareru namida no kage sae
nemurasete
sasayaku watashi no koe sae
nemurasete

Causing even the shadows of flowing tears
to rest
Putting even my whispering voice
to rest

全てが足りるまで
等しく終わらせて

kiri toru kidou egaku
gin iro wakeru toki
subete ga tariru made

Drawing a cut-off orbit
when I share this silver
until the job is done
I’ll cause it to end all the same

眠らせて
繋いだ手のひらさえも
眠らせて

yes, make it all rest
I pray thee…

under the black,over the shine

Requested by Flaemes, it sounds mostly like a song about Murasa repaying Byakuren for her help. With all the usage of imperative form though, I almost feel like it could also be coming from Byakuren’s point of view telling Murasa to come and free her. I’ve probably said this before, but the hardest part about translating a song is the interpretation of the meaning behind the lyrics.

追い風　背に受け
帆を貼れ　空の果てへ
遮る物など無いのだから

oikaze se ni uke
ho o hare sora no hate e
saegiru mono nado nai no dakara

Take the winds against your back
and set sail, to the ends of the sky
There’s nothing to interrupt after all

冷え切った身体
身動きも出来ず
ただ時を待った
逆さまの海

hie kitta karada
mi ugoki mo dekizu
tada toki o matta
sakasama no umi

With a body frozen to the bone
I was unable to move even an inch
I just waited for the right time
The sea was flipped

目に映る
深い漆黒の世界
崩れ始め
溶けるように
消えたい願いさえも
燃えて

me ni utsuru
fukai shikkoku no sekai
kuzure hajime
tokeru you ni
kietai negai sae mo
moete

The deep jet black world
reflected in my eyes begins
to crumble
Even wishes
of wanting to disappear as if melting away
set ablaze

ねぇ、気づいて助けて
両手が動かないの
残った念だけ蝕む
体も意識も
誰かの物に変わる
その先に待つ光が欲しい
ゆらり揺れ　包む光を

nee, kidzuite tasukete
ryoute ga ugokanai no
nokotta nen dake mushibamu
karada mo ishiki mo
dare ka no mono ni kawaru
sono saki ni matsu hikari ga hoshii
yurari yure tsutsumu hikari o

Hey, realize and help
neither of my hands will move
My only feelings that remained erode
My body and consciousness
becomes someone else’s
I want the light that waits beyond
the swaying and engulfing light

閉ざされた心
砕いた貴女は
その先を見つめ
何を思うの？

tozasareta kokoro
kudaita anata wa
sono saki o mitsume
nani o omou no?

You, who broke away
my locked up heart
looks on ahead
What are you thinking of?

誘おう
その目が見つめる場所
連れて行って
落とされた現実空虚な世界
越えて

izanaou
sono me ga mitsumeru basho
tsurete itte
otosareta genjitsu kuukyo na sekai
koete

Let us invite them
Take me to the place where your eyes
are looking
Transcend the empty world of reality
left behind

今、抗え飛びたて
信じた者の為に
邪魔する奴らは蹴散らせ
追い風　背に受け
帆を貼れ　空の果てへ
遮る物など無いのだから
ゆらり揺れ　包む光へ

ima, aragae tobi tate
shinjita mono no tame ni
jama suru yatsura wa kechirase
oikaze se ni uke
ho o hare sora no hate e
saegiru mono nado nai no dakara
yurari yure tsutsumu hikari e

Now, resist and take flight
for the sake of the believers
Kick those who dare get in the way to the curb
Take the winds against your back
and set sail, to the ends of the sky
There’s nothing to interrupt after all
To the swaying and engulfing light

流星追い越し
広がる空は白く
貴方の姿を隠した
小さく小さく鼓動が響きだして
船は航路を定めて進む
抗え飛びたて
信じた者の為に
邪魔する奴らは蹴散らせ
追い風　背に受け
帆を貼れ　空の果てへ
遮る物など無いのだから
ゆらり揺れ　包む光へ

ryuusei oi koshi
hirogaru sora wa shiroku
anata no sugata o kakushita
chiisaku chiisaku kodou ga hibiki dashite
fune wa fune wa kouro o sadamete susumu
aragae tobi tate
shinjita mono no tame ni
jama suru yatsura wa kechirase
oikaze se ni uke
ho o hare sora no hate e
saegiru mono nado nai no dakara
yurari yure tsutsumu hikari e

Overtaking shooting stars
the expanding sky hid your figure
with its whiteness
Barely, barely our pulses begin to echo
The boat’s course is set and advances
Resist and take flight
for the sake of the believers
Kick those who dare get in the way to the curb
Take the winds against your back
and set sail, to the ends of the sky
There’s nothing to interrupt after all
To the swaying and engulfing light

While Hiding A Crime

Requested by Ammy because I totally forgot I was supposed to be doing FELT songs, here is a song about Eirin coming to terms with living on Earth and recognizing its beauty after being homesick.

★ Title: While Hiding A Crime
☆ Album: Fortunes Gate
★ Album Artist: FELT
☆ Vocals and lyrics: Mika[?] (美歌)
☆ Arrangement: NAGI☆
★ Original Title: Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon (千年幻想卿　～ History of the Moon)
☆ Website: http://feltmusic.net/


空の蒼が包み込んだ　君の世界に一つ
音を足して響かせた　眠ったままの泪

sora no ao ga tsutsumi konda kimi no sekai ni hitotsu
oto o tashite hibikaseta nemutta mama no namida

In your world wrapped up by the sky’s blue
was a tear that made a single sound in the midst of sleep

溶かすように　拭うように　そっと　指先が触れた
その瞬間　はじけ飛んだ　錆びついた小さな鍵

tokasu you ni nuguu you ni sotto yubisaki ga fureta
sono shunkan hajike tonda sabi tsuita chiisa na kagi

As if melting away, as if wiping it away, gently brushed your fingertip
In that moment, a small rusty lock burst open

月を隠した雲が　今日を切なくさせた
流れる時間にただ身を任せて　光　想い浮かべた
扉の奥広がる　色のついた足跡
静かな追い風のせいにして　歩　はじめればいい

tsuki o kakushita kumo ga kyou o setsunaku saseta
nagareru toki ni tada mi o makasete hikari omoi ukabeta
tobira no oku hirogaru iro no tsuita ashiato
shizuka na oi kaze no sei ni shite ayumi hajimereba ii

The clouds that hid away the moon made today agonizing
Simply leaving my body to the flow of time, I recalled the light
Footprints imprinted with colour spread out from the inside the door
I should put the blame on the quiet wind chasing me and start walking

大きく息を呑みこんだ　じんわり甘い　季節
探りながら踏みしめる　重なる木の葉の音

ookiku iki o nomi konda jinwari amai kisetsu
sagurinagara fumi shimeru kasanaru ko no ha no oto

The gradually sweet seasons took away my breath with grandiose
Stepping with heavy tread while exploring, the sound of the leaves overlap

深い傷も　癒してきた　罪をまた隠しながら
もう戻れぬ　色褪せない　ふとよぎる愛しい日々

fukai kizu mo iyashite kita tsumi o mata kakushinagara
mou modorenu iro asenai futo yogiru itoshii hibi

Again while hiding a crime that came to heal even my deep wounds
the lovely undulling days in which I can’t return suddenly go by

揺れる髪にぽつりと　落ちた雨の粒は
この頬伝って空へと消えた　呼んでいるかのように
遠く見つめ続ける　蒼い蒼い瞳が
映した願い事　叶うまで　いつも見守っている

yureru kami ni potsuri to ochita ame no tsubu wa
kono hoo tsutatte sora e to kieta yondeiru kano you ni
tooki mitsume tsudzukeru aoi aoi hitomi ga
utsushita negaigoto kanau made itsu mo mi mamotteiru

The droplets of rain that fell into my swaying hair
followed down my cheek and disappeared into the sky as if calling out
Until the wishes projected by her blue, blue eyes
that continue to gaze off far come true, I’ll always be watching over her

月夜が作りだした　淡い眺めに　この手
かざして確かめた　明日の力　掴む　譲れぬ想い
幼い日に描いていた　未来予想図はまだ
形を変えずに心の底で　ずっと導いている

tsukiyo ga tsukuri dashita awai nagame ni kono te
kazashite tashikameta asu no chikara tsukamu yuzurenu omoi
osanai hi ni egaiteita mirai yosou zu wa mada
katachi o kaezu ni kokoro no soko de zutto michibiiteiru

I reach out my hands to the faint view made by the moonlit night
and grasp the power of a certain tomorrow, I can’t hand over these feelings
The drawing of what I thought the future would be that I drew during days of youth
still without a change remains always guiding me from the depths of my heart
