月明かりは儚くて | The Moonlight is Fleeting

I’ve become a big Sally fan since I went on my translation break, and at this point, this is probably my favourite song of theirs. Despite Sally songs generally having difficult lyrics, I’m planning on taking on a bunch of them. Shuriken especially is known for his crazy lyrics though, so I’m not sure how well it’ll go.

永遠なんてなかったこと
私はそれでも構わない

eien nante nakatta koto
watashi wa sore demo kamawanai

There was no such thing as eternity
Despite that, I don’t give a care

すべてが変わった 夢じゃないの
掴んで離して触れてみるの

subete ga kawatta yume janai no
tsukande hanashite furete miru no

Everything is different, it’s no dream
I try to get a grip, let go, and feel

最初は戸惑いばかり
二度目はきっと大丈夫

saisho wa tomadoi bakari
nidome wa kitto daijoubu

At first I was just lost and confused
This time around I’m sure I’ll be just fine

お気に入りの赤いリボンを付けて
この広い宇宙をお散歩するの
大好きなお月様にくちづけて
私を太陽まで連れてって

oki ni iri no akai ribon o tsukete
kono hiroi uchuu o osanpo suru no
daisuki na otsuki sama ni kuchi dzukete
watashi o taiyou made tsuretette

I put on my favourite red ribbon
I’m going for a walk through this vast universe
Throw a kiss to my beloved moon
Take me all the way to the sun

赤いルージュ甘い魔法をかけ
少しだけ違う鏡の向こう

akai ruuju amai mahou o kake
sukoshi dake chigau kagami no mukou

With a cast of a sweet, red, rouge magic spell
beyond the mirror where it feels a little off

照れ笑い 優しい声
ふたりの大切な日

tere warai yasashii koe
futari no taisetsu na hi

I see your shy smile, hear your gentle voice
It’s our special day

今日は黒いドレス大人の気分で
ちょっぴり背伸びもたまにはいいよね
大好きなお月様と一緒なら
私はいつだって変われるから

kyou wa kuroi doresu otona no kibun de
choppiri senobi mo tama ni wa ii yo ne
daisuki na otsuki sama to issho nara
watashi wa itsu datte kawareru kara

Today, feeling like an adult, I wear my black dress
It’s alright to act a bit older than you are every now and then
As long as I’m with my beloved moon
I can change anytime after all

ずっとずっと昔の話
光、恐れた少女
ひとりぼっちでいた 暗い部屋の奥
あなたに出会ってah 扉を開いた

zutto zutto mukashi no hanashi
hikari, osoreta shoujo
hitori bocchi de ita kurai heya no oku
anata ni deatte ah tobira o hiraita

It’s a story from long ago
about a girl who feared the light
She was all alone, inside a dark room
Upon meeting you, ah, she opened the door

重力に引き寄せられ
大きな闇が迫る

juuryoku ni hiki yoserare
ooki na yami ga semaru

Being drawn in by gravity
a great darkness approaches

あなたがくれた赤いリボンを付けて
この広い宇宙から護ってみせる
心も体もすべて無くなって
それでもずっとあなたと一緒に

anata ga kureta akai ribon o tsukete
kono hiroi uchuu kara mamotte miseru
kokoro mo karada mo subete naku natte
sore demo zutto anata to issho ni

I put on the red ribbon that you gave me
I’ll show you that I’ll protect it from this vast universe
Even upon losing a heart and body and everything
I’ll always be together with you

So long forever

Call On

Looking at the lyrics alone, you’d think it was an arrange of “Tomorrow Will Be Special, Yesterday Was Not” instead.

優しい オレンジの空に
無力なこの手 高く伸ばした

yasashii orenji no sora ni
muryoku na kono te takaku nobashita

With these powerless hands I reached up high
up towards the gentle orange sky

大地に降り注ぐ 光の粒
連れ去る新しい風
ありのままを受け入れる
命つづく限り

daichi ni furi sosogu hikari no tsubu
tsure saru atarashii kaze
ari no mama o uke ireru
inochi tsudzuku kagiri

Down upon the earth beads of light downpour
and fresh wind takes it all away
I accept everything as it is
within the limits of my life

遥か昔の足跡に問うの
この道が 日々が間違いではなかったかと

haruka mukashi no ashiato ni tou no
kono michi ga hibi ga machigai de wa nakatta ka to

I question the footprints of long time past
if this path, if these days were a mistake

一つの小さな鼓動に
広がる 世界の希望を見た

hitotsu no chiisa na kodou ni
hirogaru sekai no kibou o mita

I saw the hope of the world
expanding across a single small pulse

大地に積もった 光と影
眠った幾つもの声
抱きしめるよう寝ころび
そっと耳を寄せた

daichi ni tsumotta hikari to kage
nemutta ikutsu mo no koe
daki shimeru you nekorobi
sotto mimi o yoseta

Down upon the earth light and shadows piled up
and countless voices slept
I lied down as if giving a hug
and gently brought my ears close

蘇る時よ 心焦がすような
風にもう一度出逢うことはできるでしょうか

yomigaeru toki yo kokoro kogasu you na
kaze ni mou ichido de au koto wa dekiru deshou ka

It’s a time of revival, I wonder if I can meet
the wind that feels like it burns my heart one more time

遥か昔の足跡に問うの
この道が 日々が間違いではなかったかと

haruka mukashi no ashiato ni tou no
kono michi ga hibi ga machigai de wa nakatta ka to

I question the footprints of long time past
if this path, if these days were a mistake

帰る場所なんて 分からないけれど
歩き続けるその先に 明日が待っている

kaeru basho nante wakaranai keredo
aruki tsudzukeru sono saki ni ashita ga matteiru

Things like places to call home are unknown to me
however at the end of all this walking, tomorrow is waiting

明日が待っている

ashita ga matteiru

Tomorrow is waiting

Silver

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
