Largamente

Commissioned translation. This one is more abstract. The fixation on blades, scars, and a gentle flow gives me the impression of self-harm.

Largemente: with slowness and breadth.

吐き捨てた言葉
見下ろす眼下の空
空虚な胸に　感じた痛み
振り返るともう　行き先は見当たらず
怯えた胸に　覚えた痛みの刃

haki suteta kotoba
mi orosu ganka no sora
kuukyo na mune ni kanjita itami
furi kaeru to mou yukisaki wa mi atarazu
obieta mune ni oboeta itami no yaiba

Words I spat out
The sky I look down on beneath me
The pain I felt in my empty heart
No longer able to find where to go when I look back
The blade of familiar pain in my frightened heart

研ぎ澄まされた
切っ先がなぞる真紅の痕は　放った分の代償
同調していく　形を　その姿を　I Lost…

togi sumasareta
kissaki ga nazoru shinku no ato wa hanatta bun no daishou
shinkuro shite yuku katachi o sono sugata o I Lost…

Sharpened
The blade’s tip traces a crimson scar – the price paid for what was released
Synchronizing form, the shape I lost…

その深みに埋もれ　消えるべくなく
その広さは無限
そう　遠くなるばかり

sono fukami ni umore kieru beku naku
sono hirosa wa mugen
sou tooku naru bakari

Buried in the depths, it shouldn’t disappear
Its width is infinite
Yes, it just keeps going further

ゆるやかに下る流れの
その終点を目指してみないか
Largamente　傷もフィクションならこの世に生まれた確率＝数は？
ゆるやかに漂う流れ
拡がりは何処に向かうだろう
Largamente　嘘も真実ならどんなに楽なのだろう　騙して

yuruyaka ni kudaru nagare no
sono shuuten o mezashite minai ka
Largamente kizu mo fikushon nara kono yo ni umareta kakuritsu kazu wa?
yuruyaka ni tadayou nagare
hirogari wa doko ni mukau darou
Largamente uso mo shinjitsu nara donna ni raku nano darou damashite

Why not try aiming for the end
of the gently descending flow?
Largamente – If even wounds are fictitious, what’s the probability of being born into this world? What’s the count?
Where could the expanse
of the gently drifting flow be headed?
Largamente – How much easier would it be if even lies were real? Deceive me

そう　遠くなる程に痛みは
その重さを増してく　回路の
プロセスを
その繋がりは刃
いま鋭く光る　I Lost… 瞬間を

sou tooku naru hodo ni itami wa
sono omosa o mashite ku kairo no
purosesu o
sono tsunagari wa yaiba
ima surudoku hikaru I Lost… shunkan o

Yes, the further it gets
the more the pain weighs
The process of a circuit
The connections are blades
Now they shine sharply – I lost the moment…

ゆるやかに下る流れの
その終点を目指してみないか
Largamente　傷もフィクションならこの世に生まれた確率＝数は？
ゆるやかに漂う流れ
拡がりは何処へ向かうだろう
Largamente　嘘も真実ならどんなに楽なのだろう　最後まで

yuruyaka ni kudaru nagare no
sono shuuten o mezashite minai ka
Largamente kizu mo fikushon nara kono yo ni umareta kakuritsu kazu wa?
yuruyaka ni tadayou nagare
hirogari wa doko e mukau darou
Largamente uso mo shinjitsu nara donna ni raku nano darou saigo made

Why not try aiming for the end
of the gently descending flow?
Largamente – If wounds aren’t real, what’s the probability of being born into this world? What’s the count?
Where could the expanse
of the gently drifting flow be heading towards?
Largamente – How much easier would it be if even lies were real? Until the end

騙して　幻を見せて　永久の空を
どこにもない弧を描いた地図
なぞる刃の切っ先の線
どこにもないその姿の痕　なぞる刃空しく

damashite maboroshi o misete towa no sora o
doko ni mo nai ko o egaita chizu
nazoru yaiba no kissaki no sen
doko ni mo nai sono sugata no ato nazoru yaiba munashiku

Deceive me and show me an illusion, an eternal sky
A map with an arc drawn that can’t be found anywhere
The line traced by the blade’s tip
A scar of a shape that can’t be found anywhere, the blade traces in futility

研ぎ澄ましたその切っ先　触れたなら
放つ痛みを知る　同調していく（ah）
形を変えその姿を変えて　流れのままに流れ　I Lost…
ゆるやかに下る流れの
その終点を目指して僕達は
Largamente 傷を負い凌ぎ合った

togi sumashita sono kissaki fureta nara
hanatsu itami o shiru shinkuro shite yuku (ah)
katachi o kae sono sugata o kaete nagare no mama ni nagare I Lost…
yuruyaka ni kudaru nagare no
sono shuuten o mezashite bokutachi wa
Largamente kizu o oi shinogi atta

If you touch the sharpened tip of the blade
you’ll know of the pain it releases, synchronizing (ah)
Changing shape and form, going with the flow, I lost…
Aiming for the end
of the gently descending flow
Largamente – together we endured bearing our wounds

吐き捨てた言葉
見下ろす眼下の空
振り返るともう　行き先は見当たらず

haki suteta kotoba
mi orosu ganka no sora
furi kaeru to mou yukisaki wa mi atarazu

Words I spat out
The sky I look down on beneath me
No longer able to find where to go when I look back

朧月夜 | Misty, Moonlit Night

This song has one powerful climax. 朧月夜 is one of my favourite Japanese words, so as soon as I saw this track name, I knew I had to listen to it. I also have a draft done up for リンカーネイション (Reincarnation), so expect that soon.

いびつに歪んだ心、鏡、映すでしょう
薄暗き宵に星を結び円を描く

ibitsu ni yuganda kokoro, kagami, utsusu deshou
usuguraki yoi ni hoshi o musubi en o egaku

If I looked in the mirror, I’d surely see a twisted heart reflected back
Connecting the stars in the dim evening, I draw a circle

まどろみの祝杯　笑う声、もう遠くあり
生かされし人形
『無に慣り、虛に成れ』念じ、夜は更けて
濁れてく朧月夜

madoromi no shukuhai warau koe, mou tooku ari
ikasareshi hitogata
『mu ni nari, kyo ni nare』nenji, yo wa fukete
nigoreteku oborodzukiyo

Groggy toasts and the sound of laughing are now distant
as I’m kept alive as a doll
‘Become used to nothing, become hollow’ I repeat in my head as the night advances
A moonlit night, clouding over

使い果たされた『私』を纏ったまま
この世界を生きて行くの？いじらしく
ぐるりぐるり　罅はいづれ　破滅を迎えて
そろそろ限界が近い気がしてる『あたし』に－－－
与えて、愛して、もう何も無いのだから

tsukai hatasareta『watashi』o matotta mama
kono sekai o ikite yuku no? ijirashiku
gururi gururi hibi wa idzure hametsu o mukaete
soro soro genkai ga chikai ki ga shiteru『atashi』ni－－－
ataete, aishite, mou nani mo nai no dakara

As I wear a ‘me’ that’s been wrung dry,
will I continue to live in this world? Pitifully
Spinning around and around, the cracks will eventually invite ruin
I’m getting the feeling that any time now ‘I’ will reach my limit – – –
Give to me, and love me, for I have nothing left anymore

恋する時間は長くあれ、愛しむでしょう
灯火の外で堕ちた焔、炎を描く

koi suru jikan wa nagaku are, itoshimu deshou
tomoshibi no soto de ochita honoo, en o egaku

May times of romance last long, surely they’re treasured
The flame that fell outside the torch forms a blaze

狂おしく逃亡　激情は緋の雨となり
華萌え舞い散る
『無に慣り、虚に成れ』悟る、時既に
溺れてく霞桜

kuruoshiku toubou gekijou wa hi no ame to nari
hana moe mai chiru
『mu ni nari, kyo ni nare』satoru, toki sude ni
oboreteku kasumizakura

Escaping at wit’s end, my emotions turn into a scarlet rain
Flowers bloom and dance down
‘Become used to nothing, become hollow’ By the time I understood, it was too late
Drowning in prunus verecunda

使い果たされた『私』を纏ったまま
この世界を生きる？這い蹲りながら？
ぐるりぐるり　罅がある　もう止められない
与えて、何でもいい、言葉を、魂を、
『あたし』が望むだけ – – –

tsukai hatasareta『watashi』o matotta mama
kono sekai o ikiru? hai tsukubarinagara?
gururi gururi hibi ga aru mou tomerarenai
ataete, nan demo ii, kotoba o, tamashii o,
『atashi』ga nozomu dake – – –

As I wear a ‘me’ that’s been wrung dry
will I continue to live in this world? While I grovel in the dirt?
Spinning around and around, there are cracks, there’s no stopping it
Give to me, it doesn’t matter what, words, a soul,
as much as ‘I’ desire – – –

目に見えるほど
いびつに歪む心を　留めおかまし　この人形
与えて欲しい、愛して欲しい、望み高く投じた夜空
失うほど何もない、空虚さに喰われそう
今宵壊せ、この身に、僅かの未練も、宿らぬ、最期を
埋もれた人波の世界、届かぬ夜空
『あたし』が消えていく—その前に

me ni mieru hodo
ibitsu ni yugamu kokoro o todome okamashi kono hitogata
ataete hoshii, aishite hoshii, nozomi takaku toujita yozora
ushinau hodo nani mo nai, kuukyosa ni kuwaresou
koyoi kowasu, kono mi ni, wazuka no miren mo, yadoranu, saigo o
umoreta hitonami no sekai, todokanu yozora
『atashi』ga kiete yuku — sono mae ni

Leaving behind
a heart so twisted, it’s visible to the eye, I want you
to give to this doll, to love this doll – hopes thrown high into the night sky
The more I lose, the more I feel like I’ll be consumed by the empty void
Tonight destroy my few last regrets, and the final moments residing outside my body
Buried in a world surging with people, unable to reach the night sky
‘I’ am fading away – – – but before then

いびつに歪む心を　留めおかまし　この人形に
与えて欲しい、愛して欲しい、望み高く投じた星空
失うほど何もない、空っぽに、まるく
綺麗ね　朧月

ibitsu ni yugamu kokoro o todome okamashi kono hitogata ni
ataete hoshii, aishite hoshii, nozomi takaku toujita hoshizora
ushinau hodo nani mo nai, karappo ni, maruku
kirei ne oborodzuki

Leaving behind a heart so twisted, I want you
to give to this doll, to love this doll – hopes thrown high into the starry sky
The more I lose, the more empty and round it appears
Isn’t it pretty? The misty moon
