mada owaritaku wa nai mada hajimari mo konai
ima orenji ni somaru ki kazatta sora moyou
fuyu ni utsuru sono mae sukoshi dake miseru kao
yuuyake ni somaru koro yasashisa o miseru you ni
I don’t want it to end yet, the beginning still hasn’t even come At this point, dyed orange, the sky looks suited up Before it turns to winter, I’ll show my face just a little so that I can show my kindness when it becomes sunset
mada saki wa mienakute mada yuku basho mo nakute
ki kazatte kakushitemo kakushi kirenai mama de
fuyu ga kuru sono mae ni sukoshi dake no jikan o
ima watashi ni hoshii no samishisa o kakusu tame ni
I can’t see the end yet, I still have no place to go Whether I’m dressed up or hidden, I can’t conceal it all Before Winter comes upon us, just give me a little time That’s what I need right now, for the sake of hiding my loneliness
Few errors in my by-ear transcription fixed, Nachi’s voice is not easy to transcribe. Man, the Alst album this time around sure is better than FLASHLIGHT, not to mention the original POP | CULTURE. I’m especially enjoying “Sensitive Crisis,” despite not normally being a fan of the style.
Note: I am not going to be spacing out Comiket 87 Alstroemeria Records translations. When I get lyrics for these, I am marathon posting right away. Same with ZYTOKINE, of course.

koko kara wa hitori de ayumu koto o chikau
kimi no te o hanashita kokoro hanarezu ni
nokosareta omoide ima mo kienai de iru yo
subete o nuri kaete subete shiro ni shite
Vowing to walk on without you, all alone here on out I let go of your hand without moving on emotionally Even now I’m left unable to erase these left behind memories Coat everything over, turn it all white
keshiki o shiro ni kaete risetto shitai kokoro mo
furi tsumoru yuki no you kokoro wa omoi mama de
nando mo sakendeita kimi no na o yondeita
sore wa hitotsu no owari koukai ga tsumoru dake
Turn the scenery all white, and the heart I want to reset Just like a fresh layer of snow, my heart remains heavy Over and over I shouted, called out your name That was my single ending, and the regrets just pile up
kore kara wa hitori de yuki no naka o aruku
atatakai kimi no te konya wa mou nai
nokosareta omoi wa sukoshi zutsu kiete yuku no
demo subete no kioku yuki ga kizandeta
From now on, I walk through the snow alone Tonight I don’t have your warm hand to hold on to Will my remaining thoughts disappear little by little? All my memories are marked by the snow though
wasuretai kono omoi nando mo omoi dashite
furi tsumoru yuki wa mata watashi o madowasaseru
shiroi aku sonna yuki watashi wa sou omoeta
sore wa hitotsu no owari wasurenai mune no kizu
I recall the memories I want to forget over and over The snow falling at my feet causes me to lose my way again “It’s white evil, that snow,” I considered it so That was my single ending, the unforgettable scar in my heart
sore demo furi tsudzuku subete o shiro ni shite
watashi no kokoro dake shiro ni wa narenai no
anata o tebanashita ato modori dekinai
nando mo te o nobashi furete wa tokete yuku
It continues to snow anyways, turning everything white Is my heart the only thing unable to turn white? I let go of your hand, there’s no going back anymore I reach my hand out countlessly, and it melts at a touch
kono mama nemuritai subete o wasuretai
anata to ita kioku sore mo tokashitai no
furete wa kieru yuki kienai kono kioku
kienai kisenai yo shiroi yuki no kioku
I want to sleep as it is, I want to forget everything The memories of being with you, I want those to melt too Snow that melts at a touch, and my unfading memories They won’t go, and I can’t make them My white snow memories
Looks like this song isn’t on youtube yet, somehow. I just love the name of this song, it’s a very awe-inspiring title. An “infinite being” sounds even more powerful than a god, if you were to ask me. The final stanza is the best part of it.

Time goes by, and follow There is always me in a dream Gather in a dark night I don’t need to die in a dream
Dream does not fade away Dance a beloved servant a dark night Gather in a dark night Because there is the fantasy
Time goes by, and follow There is always me in a dream Gather in a dark night I don’t need to die in a dream
kanashii yume wa misenai wa
iyashite ageru watashi ga
gensou no chi de maeba ii watashi to
mugen no toki to batsu to yami
owaranu toki ga aru kara
gensou no chi no eien yo watashi wa
I won’t show you any sad dreams I’ll be the one to heal all of your wounds It’s best to dance on these fantastic grounds here with me The time, punishment, and darkness is dreamlike We have unlimited time after all I am the eternity of this land of fantasy
Requested by Niniva Chan, this song sure has a lot of sexual undertones. You might also notice it’s a Syrufit arrange rather than Alst. The lyrics sound like a standard Alst song for the most part, but I could really feel the difference in lyrical style between Mei Ayakura and Haruka.
In other news, this new less conservative way of translation I’ve started going with has been going great.

toki wa kita owari no hajimari kara
te o hikare yasashii hikari no saki
usu gurai heya ni wa yureru kagerou
mezameta toki kara shiawase deshita
The time has come, ever since the beginning of the end I’m pulled by the hand to a gentle light Mirages dance in the dull, dark room Ever since I awoke, I’ve been happy
shizukesa to ondo ga kasanaru toki
nani yori mo idai na anata no moto
soba ni iru yurushi o erareta koto no
hokori ni kawari wa aru no deshou ka?
When the silence and temperature overlap I want to be by your great side more than anything Is there such thing as a replacement for the pride in having earned my place next to you?
潜む影
凍てつく囁きは
途切れ途切れ
また 近づく
嗄れる声
ずっと守ってきた場所
壊さないで
hisomu kage
ite tsuku sasayaki wa
togire togire
mata chikadzuku
kareru koe
zutto mamotte kita basho
kowasanai de
Your shadow lurks Your freezing whispers disconnected come close again I beg with a hoarse voice “Please don’t ruin the place that I’ve always protected”
akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni
subete subete subete subete yudaneyou
mi todokeru ima sono mama o
Stained, stained, stained, stained blood-red The drops, the drops, the drops, the drops that drip are tears Pure wings, pure wings, pure wings, pure feathers fall Where’s all the light that I thought would be here? The cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle repeats going on, going on, going on, going on, without an end Shall we, shall we, shall we, shall we leave everything to it? I’ll see it through, as it is now
hajime kara owari wa kawaranu koto
negattemo kanawanu tsuyogari yori
nani yori mo yowai to kidzuita no desu
kono mama de wa sono te o tsukamenai
From the beginning, the end has been an unchangeable truth Wishing won’t do any good to grant my prayers I’ve realized I’m more weak than anything, than my act I can’t take your hand like this
運命は
生まれた刹那から
必然か、と
誰が問うの？
繰り返す
ずっと守ってきた場所
汚さないで、と
unmei wa
umareta setsuna kara
hitsuzen ka, to
dare ga tou no?
kuri kaesu
zutto mamotte kita basho
yogosanai de, to
Who is it that asks if from the moment of birth destiny is inevitable? Repeating “Please don’t defile the place that I’ve always protected”
akaku akaku akaku akaku somerare
shizuku shizuku shizuku shizuku wa namida
ochiru ochiru ochiru ochiru shiroi hane
aru hazu no hikari wa doko ni
tomaru tomaru tomaru tomaru koto naku
meguru meguru meguru meguru rinne ni
subete subete subete subete yudaneyou

Stained, stained, stained, stained blood-red The drops, the drops, the drops, the drops that drip are tears Pure wings, pure wings, pure wings, pure feathers fall Where’s all the light that I thought would be here? The cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle repeats going on, going on, going on, going on, without an end Shall we, shall we, shall we, shall we leave everything to it?
