Chasing Rainbows

I’ve been loving this song so much that I decided to transcribe it without a booklet.
It’s been edited according to it now though.

I should also probably note that I took this from the perspective of Miko, having made the new mask of hope.

汚れたこの手で この眼で
作り上げてきた 仮面を
恐れて怯えて いたのは
あなたなの? 私なの?

yogoreta kono te de kono me de
tsukuri agetekita kamen o
osorete obieteita no wa
anata nano? watashi nano?

With these dirtied hands and eyes
I had made this mask
Who was it that feared and was afraid of it
Was it you? Was it me?

その手で包み込んで
その手で照らし出して
傷だらけのこの仮面 愛される事が出来たなら
独りじゃない

sono te de tsutsumi konde
sono te de terashi dashite
kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

Wrap it up with your hands
Light it up with your hands
With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved

you’re not alone

どうしようもないくらい 哀しい
どうしようもないくらい 寂しい
全てを隠してしまえたら
いいのにね いいのにね

doushiyou mo nai kurai kanashii
doushiyou mo nai kurai samishii
subete o kakushite shimaetara
ii noni ne ii noni ne

Sad to the point of being hopeless
Lonely to the point of being hopeless
It’d be nice to be able to hide everything
but you know,
but you know

この手じゃ愛せなくて
この眼じゃ愛せなくて
傷だらけのこの仮面 愛される事が出来たなら
独りじゃない

kono te ja aisenakute
kono me ja aisenakute
kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

Unable to love with these hands
Unable to love with these eyes
With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved
you’re not alone

傷だらけのこの仮面 愛される事が出来たなら
一人じゃない

kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved
you’re not alone

手を伸ばせば 遠く 目をそらせば 近く
行き場の無い 光 翳る事も あるだろう

te o nobaseba tooku
me o soraseba chikaku
ikiba no nai hikari kageru koto mo aru darou

If you reach out your hands far out
If you turn your eyes close by
I bet even the light with no place to go will darken

哀しさ その先に 寂しさ その果てに
愛なんて 夢なんて なくても
さよ なら
さよ なら

kanashisa sono saki ni samishisa sono hate ni
ai nante yume nante nakutemo
sayonara
sayonara

Beyond all the sadness, at the end of the loneliness
even if love, even if dreams aren’t there
farewell
farewell

Have a Good Dream

It’s funny, there are two types of songs: Ones that are easy to translate, and ones that simply aren’t. This would fall under the former, it’s a surprise how fast I could get it done.

使い古されてた 言葉を拾って
この気持ちに今 名前を付けたい

tsukai furusareteta kotoba o hirotte
kono kimochi ni ima namae o tsuketai

I’ve become worn out, I gather up words
To this feeling now, I want to give a name

願うだけでは駄目 祈るだけでも駄目
信じるだけでは もう赦せない

negau dake de wa dame inoru dake de mo dame
shinjiru dake de wa mou yurusenai

It’s no good just to wish, it’s no good to pray either
Just having faith alone can’t be allowed anymore

僕の この手では 何一つ つかめないままなら
何を 抱きしめて 眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani hitotsu tsukamenai mama nara
nani o daki shimete nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if every single thing remains out of reach
what will I embrace close? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

全ては終わる もう おやすみなさい
また会う日まで さあ おやすみなさい
いくつも 時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が 聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless times
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

もし このまま 目が 覚めないままなら
何に祈ればいい 夢の中で

moshi kono mama me ga samenai mama nara
nani ni inoreba ii yume no naka de

If my eyes were to remain shut like this, unable to open,
what should I pray to? Inside this dream

僕の この手では 何もかも 壊してしまうなら
何を 思い出し 眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani mo kamo kowashite shimau nara
nani o omoi dashi nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if I just utterly destroy anything and everything
what will I remember? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

信じていいよ もう おやすみなさい
悲しまないで さあ おやすみなさい
長い長い 夜を超えて
優しく”おはよう”と告げる 声が 聴こえるまで

shinjite ii yo mou oyasuminasai
kanashimanai de saa oyasuminasai
nagai nagai yoru o koete
yasashiku “ohayou” to tsugeru koe ga kikoeru made

It’s alright to believe, it’s good night already
Don’t grieve for me, it’s good night see
I’ll pass, I’ll pass, through these long nights
until I can listen to a voice kindly telling me “good morning”

全ては終わる もう おやすみなさい
また会う日まで さあ おやすみなさい
いくつも 時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が 聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless time
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

Remembrance

Phew, been caught up on doing a lot of study recently. Now it’s time to catch up on translating. To begin with, I have plans to cover some more from this album, and next up, more Dancing Dollz maybe.

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
寄り添う月 引き合う星 君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon snuggles up and the stars pull close, close to you

明けない夜があったならいいのにね
呟く君の目に光る紅い星

akenai yoru ga atta nara ii noni ne
tsubuyaku kimi no me ni hikaru akai hoshi

If the night would never end that’d be nice wouldn’t it
There are scarlet stars shining in your eyes as you murmur

さあ 手を 伸ばしてみたら
さあ 目を 開いてみたら
今でも 手が届くはず 心に 手が届くはず

saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu

Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes
Even now, I should be able to reach, to your heart, I should be able to reach

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
思い出せば この心は 揺れるばかり

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
omoi daseba kono kokoro wa yureru bakari

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
If you recall, this heart does nothing but shake

夜明け前を 照らす青に 染まる世界
空と君を 分ける意味を 失う世界
さあ 手を 伸ばしてみたら
さあ 目を 開いてみたら

yoake mae o terasu ao ni somaru sekai
sora to kimi o wakeru imi o ushinau sekai
saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara

It’s a world dyed in a blue which shines before dawn
It’s a world that loses the meanings which divide you and the sky
Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes

無くしたもの 探しに行けるよ

nakushita mono sagashi ni ikeru yo

I should be able to go and search for what was lost

君が奏でてた 歌を探してた
忘れないように 何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど知っていた この瞬間 もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo shitteita kono shunkan mou nido to nai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had come to know, this moment, that things will never be again

雲一つない 夜空を見て 微笑んでる
君が君で ある理由を 失う世界
今でも手が届くはず 心に 手が届くはず
大事なもの 探しに行こうよ

kumo hitotsu nai yozora o mite hohoenderu
kimi ga kimi de aru riyuu o ushinau sekai
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu
daiji na mono sagashi ni ikou yo

Seeing the cloudless night and smiling
It’s a world which loses the reason that you’re you
Even now, I should be able to reach, your heart, I should be able to reach
Lets go and search for important things

優しさの意味を 誰より知っていた
傷つける事を 何度も何度も諦めて

yasashisa no imi o dare yori shitteita
kizutsukeru koto o nando mo nando mo akiramete

You had known more than anyone else the meaning of kindness
Over and over I give up on hurting

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど分かってた この声は もう届かない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo wakatteita kono koe wa mou todokanai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had understood, that this voice would never reach anymore

夕暮れ時 探していた 一番星
寄り添う月 引き合う星 君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon draws close, the stars pull together, to your side

君が奏でてた 歌を探してた
忘れないように 何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて 君もここにいる
だけど知っていた この瞬間 もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo shitteita kono shunkan mou nido to nai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had come to know, this moment, that things will never be again

望んだ記憶は灰になり
風に 消えて
どこまでも見透かされていたような気がしてた

nozonda kioku wa hai ni nari
kaze ni kiete
doko made mo mi kasukasareteita you na ki ga shiteta

Memories that I desired turn to ash
and vanish in the wind
No matter where they go, I’ve been getting the feeling they’ve been looked right past

閉じたままの瞳では
(本当の色はわからない)
閉じたままの心では わからない

tojita mama no hitomi de wa
(honto no iro wa wakaranai)
tojita mama no kokoro de wa wakaranai

With my eyes remaining closed
(True colour isn’t clear to me)
With my heart remaining closed it’s just not clear

心に 落ちて 色付いた
空に消えた 影法師
あの日から また形を変えて
揺らぐ 気持ちのよう

kokoro ni ochite iro dzuita
sora ni kieta kageboushi
ano hi kara mata katachi o kaete
yuragu kimochi no you

It fell down to my heart and changed colours
A silhouette that faded into the sky
Ever since that day, it changes still
and sways like feelings do

言葉にできない想いを
黄金色の風に乗せ
誰かの心まで届くなら
響いてくれるなら…

kotoba ni dekinai omoi o
kogane iro nno kaze ni nose
dare ka no kokoro made todoku nara
hibiite kureru nara…

These feelings that I can’t put into words
I set loose on the golden wind
If it would just reach to someone’s heart
If it would echo for me…

あの日の記憶は灰になり
風に 溶けて
何もかも与えられていたような気がしてた

ano hi no kioku wa hai ni nari
kaze ni tokete
nani mo kamo ataerareteita you na ki ga shiteta

Memories from that day turn to ash
and are scrambled in the wind
I’ve been getting the feeling that they could’ve gave anything and everything

閉じたままのこの手では
(本当の色はつかめない)
閉じたままの心では つかめない

tojita mama no kono te de wa
(honto no iro wa tsukamenai)
tojita mama no kokoro de wa tsukamenai

With my hands remaining closed
(I can’t grasp true colour)
With my heart remaining closed I just can’t seize it

心に 触れて 焼き付いた
歪んだ あの影法師
窓辺から 空を仰いだまま
落ちた 孤独のよう

kokoro ni furete yaki tsuita
yuganda ano kageboushi
madebe kara sora o aoida mama
ochita kodoku no you

It touched my heart and seared into it
that crooked silhouette
As I looked by the window up at the sky
I fell, as if in solitude

この手で 隠した心は
黄金色の風に乗り
誰かの心まで届くから
響いてくれるから…

kono te de kakushita kokoro wa
kogane iro no kaze ni nori
dare ka no kokoro made todoku kara
hibiite kureru kara…

The heart I hid with my own hands
rides upon the golden winds
because it’ll reach to someone’s heart
because it’ll echo for me…

見えなかったはずの 心
今 はっきりと見える 心
君と僕を繋ぐ 心の色さえ

mienakatta hazu no kokoro
ima hakkiri to mieru kokoro
kimi to boku o tsunagu kokoro no iro sae

I shouldn’t have been able to see that heart
but now I can clearly see that heart
Even the colours of our hearts tie us together

心に 落ちて 色付いた
空に消えた 影法師
あの日から また形を変えて
揺らぐ 気持ちのよう

kokoro ni ochite iro dzuita
sora ni kieta kageboushi
ano hi kara mata katachi o kaete
yuragu kimochi no you

It fell down to my heart and changed colours
A silhouette that faded into the sky
Ever since that day, it changes still
and sways like feelings do

言葉にできない想いを
黄金色の風に乗せ
誰かの心まで届くなら
響いてくれるなら…

kotoba ni dekinai omoi o
kogane iro nno kaze ni nose
dare ka no kokoro made todoku nara
hibiite kureru nara…

These feelings that I can’t put into words
I set loose on the golden wind
If it would just reach to someone’s heart
if it would echo for me…
