Stranger in the dusk

Big thanks to Tegamin for the Mother Nature scans, I’ve been searching every day for these. Of course, this had to be the first song I worked on. Next one might be DEATHANDREBIRTH or BOUNCE OF LIFE, I’m not really all too sure yet.

Notes: The words in (brackets) aren’t included in the booklet, and I had an especially tough time deciphering what certain words could be in the 4th stanza down there, if anyone has other suggestions.

★ Title: Stranger in the dusk

現実から　現実への
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
心地の良い　未来の歌
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

genjitsu kara genjitsu e no
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
kokochi no yoi mirai no uta
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

From reality, towards reality
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
A pleasant song of the future
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

手のひらに　落ちた　希望　夢　祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira ni ochita kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dropped into the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

会いたいから　会えないから
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
星はいない　輝かない
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

aitai kara aenai kara
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
hoshi wa inai kagayakanai
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

Because I want to see you, because I can’t see you
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
The stars are all gone, they no longer shine
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

手のひらで　踊る　希望　夢　祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira de odoru kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dancing in the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are crying together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are crying together like stranger in the white
We all are crying together like stranger in the black
We all are crying together like stranger in the dusk

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

Man, this is a really solid Zytokine album, maybe my newest favourite. Lyrics not included in booklet are in (these).

眼を閉じて　感じたら
透き通る　光　（眩しくて）
曖昧に崩れてく
世界の　光　（眩しくて）

me o tojite kanjitara
suki tooru hikari (mabushikute)
aimai ni kuzurete ku
sekai no hikari (mabushikute)

When you close your eyes and just feel
you’ll feel the clear light (It’s radiant)
Unclearly it comes crumbling down
The light of the world (It’s radiant)

ここへ来て　触れさせて
透明なその心
見えなくても感じ取れる
君のプラスティック・マインド

koko e kite furesasete
toimei na sono kokoro
mienakutemo kanji toreru
kimi no purasutikku maindo

Come over here and let me feel
that pure heart
Even though I can’t see it, I can sense it
Your plastic mind

夜空に　置き忘れた
あの日の　景色　（眩しくて）
誰かが　欲しがっていた
希望の　光　（眩しくて）

yozora ni oki wasureta
ano hi no keshiki (mabushikute)
dare ka ga hoshigatteita
kibou no hikari (mabushikute)

The scenery from that far day
was left behind in the night sky (It’s radiant)
Somebody had wished for
the light of hope (It’s radiant)

ここへ来て　触れてみて
透明なこの心　（その心）
見えなくても感じ取れる
僕のプラスティック・マインド

koko e kite furete mite
toumei na kono kokoro
mienakutemo kanji toreru
boku no purasutikku maindo

Come over here and try to feel
this pure heart
Even though you can’t see it, you can sense it
My plastic mind

もっと　遠くまで　届けたいよ
きっと　あの日に　戻れるから

motto tooku made todoketai yo
kitto ano hi ni modoreru kara

I want to be able to reach out even further
because surely I’ll be able to return to those days

最後まで　そばにいるよ
最後まで　歌っているよ

saigo made soba ni iru yo
saigo made utatteiru yo

To the very end I’ll be by your side
To the very end I’ll be singing

眼を閉じて　願ったら
差し込んだ　光　（眩しくて）
縁取られては　消える
世界の　光　（眩しくて）

me o tojite negattara
sashi konda hikari (mabushikute)
fuchi torarete wa kieru
sekai no hikari (mabushikute)

When you close your eyes and just wish
you’ll be filled with light (It’s radiant)
Borders being made will result in it vanishing
The light of the world (It’s radiant)

ここへ来て　触れさせて
透明なその心
見えなくても　いつか分かる
君のプラスティック・マインド

koko e kite furesasete
toumei na sono kokoro
mienakutemo itsu ka wakaru
kimi no purasutikku maindo

Come over here and let me feel
that pure heart
Even though I can’t see it, someday I’ll understand
Your plastic mind

もっと　遠くまで　届けたいよ
きっと　あの日に　戻れるから

motto tooku made todoketai yo
kitto ano hi ni modoreru kara

I want to be able to reach out even further
because surely I’ll be able to return to those days

最後まで　そばにいるよ
最後まで　歌っているよ

saigo made soba ni iru yo
saigo made utatteiru yo

To the very end I’ll be by your side
To the very end I’ll be singing

I’ll be honest, I didn’t really like this song all too much, and I’ve been avoiding translating it for the longest time, but I’ve finally decided to do it. It doesn’t seem like it’s a very popular song either. As for the English you hear, I really couldn’t decipher what it said, if anyone else happens to know.

巡る季節が　終わる時の
声をどこかで　聴いた気がしていたのにね

meguru kisetsu ga owaru toki no
koe o doko ka de kiita ki ga shiteita noni ne

I’ve gotten a feeling that somewhere I’ve listened to
the voice of the end of the cycling season, but hey

それは　今は　どこに

sore wa ima wa doko ni

That voice, where could it be right now?

君が残した　忘れ物は
季節を染める　銀色の蜃気楼

kimi ga nokoshita wasuremono wa
kisetsu o someru gin iro no shinkirou

The thing that you had forgotten and left behind
is a silver mirage that colours the season

懐かしい　笑顔だけ
今は　思い出せればいい

natsukashii egao dake
ima wa omoi dasereba ii

Just your nostalgic smile
as long as I can remember that now I’ll be fine

別れが来る事　心のどこかではわかっていて
悲しそうな君の笑顔が　焼き付いて　消える事は無かった
さよならの準備　できないまま　次の季節が来てる
そっと溶けるように　君が消えたとしても　まだ心にいるから

wakare ga kuru koto kokoro no doko ka de wa wakatteite
kanashisou na kimi no egao ga yaki tsuite kieru koto wa nakatta
sayonara no junbi dekinai mama tsugi no kisetsu ga kiteru
sotto tokeru you ni kimi ga kieta toshitemo mada kokoro ni iru kara

A farewell is coming, somewhere within my heart I understand that
Your sad looking smile is burnt in my mind, and has never faded away
Preparing to say goodbye, unable to do that, the next season is approaching
Just like gently melting away, even if you’ve disappeared, you’re still in my heart

la la la …

移る季節が　残す色の
風がどこかで　吹いた気がしていたのにね
それは　今は　どこに

utsuru kisetsu ga nokosu iro no
kaze ga doko ka de fuita ki ga shiteita noni ne
sore wa ima wa doko ni

I’ve gotten a feeling that somewhere a wind
with the colours left behind by passing seasons has blown, but hey
That wind, where could it be right now?

君が残した　忘れ物は
心に響く　銀色の風だね

kimi ga nokoshita wasuremono wa
kokoro ni hibiku gin iro no kaze da ne

The thing that you had forgotten and left behind
is a silver wind that remains in my heart, you know

新しい　季節だけ
今は　受け入れられればいい

atarashii kisetsu dake
ima wa uke irerarereba ii

Just a new season
as long as I can accept that now I’ll be fine

別れが来る意味　本当はどこかではわかっていて
嬉しそうな君は笑顔の　向こう側で　何を思っていたの
さよならの準備　できないまま　次の季節が来てる
きっとどこかでまた　会えるような予感は　まだ心にあるから

wakare ga kuru imi honto wa doko ka de wa wakatteite
ureshisou na kimi wa egao no mukougawa de nani o omotteita no
sayonara no junbi dekinai mama tsugi no kisetsu ga kiteru
kitto doko ka de mata aeru you na yokan wa mada kokoro ni aru kara

The meaning of farewell coming, truth is, somewhere I understand it
What have you been thinking? On the other side of that glad looking smile
Preparing to say goodbye, unable to do that, the next season is approaching
I still have a feeling in my heart that surely somewhere we’ll be able to meet again

別れが来る事　心のどこかではわかっていて
悲しそうな君の笑顔が　焼き付いて　消える事は無かった
さよならの準備　できないまま　次の季節が来てる
そっと溶けるように　君が消えたとしても　まだ心にいるから

wakare ga kuru koto kokoro no doko ka de wa wakatteite
kanashisou na kimi no egao ga yaki tsuite kieru koto wa nakatta
sayonara no junbi dekinai mama tsugi no kisetsu ga kiteru
sotto tokeru you ni kimi ga kieta toshitemo mada kokoro ni iru kara

A farewell is coming, somewhere within my heart I understand that
Your sad looking smile is burnt in my mind, and has never faded away
Preparing to say goodbye, unable to do that, the next season is approaching
Just like gently melting away, even if you’ve disappeared, you’re still in my heart

Ten Desires – Syrufit Remix

I imagined this from the perspective of Miko, she wants to grant all the desires of humans, right? Actually, I hardly remember anymore, so bear with me. It’s only natural that if you do nothing but help others, you’ll eventually want to be helped yourself, unless you’re some sort of saint… Oh wait, Miko is one, isn’t she.

小さな笑顔の　その向こう側に
見え隠れする　かすかな赤い棘
もし　言葉にして伝えてくれたら
傷ついても　違う色を描いたのに

chiisa na egao no sono mukougawa ni
mie gakure suru kasuka na akai toge
moshi kotoba ni shite tsutaete kuretara
kizutsuitemo chigau iro o egaita noni

On the other side of that tiny smile
faint red thorns come in and out of sight
If you had put them into words and conveyed them for me
though I’d be hurt I’d have painted a different colour

それは　まるで　夜空に　舞い上がる桜の様
散って　それでもなお　咲き誇る様
それは傷跡　無数の儚い　願いの声
それは　罪深くて　なお　愛おしい

sore wa marude yozora ni mai agaru sakura no you
chitte sore demo nao saki hokoru you
sore wa kizu ato musuu no hakanai negai no koe
sore wa tsumibukakute nao itooshii

Looking as if cherry blossoms dance up in the night sky
falling, but even so, still appearing to be in full bloom
Those are scars, the countless voices of empty wishes
It’s sinful yet also precious

欲しがるだけ　与えてもいいの？
求めるなら　応えてもいいの？
全て　受け止めるなら

hoshigaru dake ataetemo ii no?
motomeru nara kotaetemo ii no?
subete uke tomeru nara

Is it alright to grant all your wishes?
If you seek, can I answer you?
If you would just accept everything

欲しがるだけ　与えてもいいよ
求めるなら　応えてもいいよ
言葉でも　心でも　痛みでも
かまわないよ

hoshigaru dake ataetemo ii yo
motomeru nara kotaetemo ii yo
kotoba demo kokoro demo itami demo
kamawanai yo

It’ll be alright to grant all your wishes
It’ll be alright to answer you if you seek
Whether with words or my heart or my pain
it doesn’t matter

小さな願いの　その向こう側に
見え隠れする　大きな強い夢
もし　言葉にして伝えてくれたら
抱きしめても　涙はいらなかったのに

chiisa na negai no sono mukougawa ni
mie gakure suru ooki na tsuyoi yume
moshi kotoba ni shite tsutaete kuretara
daki shimetemo namida wa iranakatta noni

On the other side of those tiny wishes
large, powerful dreams come in and out of view
If you had put them into words and conveyed them
I’d have embraced them though I wouldn’t have needed tears

それは　まるで　夜空に　舞い上がる桜の様
散って　それでもなお　咲き誇る様
それは傷跡　無数の儚い　願いの声
それは　罪深くて　なお　愛おしい

sore wa marude yozora ni mai agaru sakura no you
chitte sore demo nao saki hokoru you
sore wa kizu ato musuu no hakanai negai no koe
sore wa tsumibukakute nao itooshii

Looking as if cherry blossoms dance up in the night sky
falling, but even so, still appearing to be in full bloom
Those are scars, the countless voices of empty wishes
It’s sinful yet also precious

与えるなら　欲しがってもいいの？
応えるなら　求めてもいいの？
全て　伝えられたら

ataeru nara hoshigattemo ii no?
kotaeru nara motometemo ii no?
subete tsutaeraretara

If you give, is it alright to want?
If you answer, is it alright to seek?
If everything is able to be conveyed

与えるだけ　欲しがってもいいよ
応えるなら　求めてもいいよ
笑顔でも　心でも　痛みでも
かまわないよ

ataeru dake hoshigattemo ii yo
kotaeru nara motometemo ii yo
egao demo kokoro demo itami demo
kamawanai yo

It’ll be alright to want for all you give
It’ll be alright to seek, if you answer
Whether for smiles or for a heart or for pain
it doesn’t matter
