Wave Wave Wave

I think I overlooked a few tracks from I, SCREAM. This album is better than I remember. This song seems to be about someone who feels that someone is out of their league, that the person is too good/perfect for the speaker, but the speaker tries her best to get that person’s attention anyways.

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 光 流れて落ちる 光に
映り ただ ゆっくり
滲む 世界に 何を 落として

yurari yura yurayura
yureru hikari nagarete ochiru hikari ni
utsuri tada yukkuri
nijimu sekai ni nani o otoshite

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying light reflecting in flowing and falling
light,
merely at ease
What will I drop in this blurry world?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 気持ち 剥がれて落ちる 未来に
映り 何を願い 何を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yureru kimochi hagarete ochiru mirai ni
utsuri nani o negai nani o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying feelings reflecting in a detaching and falling
future,
what do you wish for? What have you been searching for
while simply swaying?

澄んだ 君の心は広すぎて
どんな言葉 一雫 落としたところで
何も変わらない

sunda kimi no kokoro wa hiro sugite
donna kotoba hitoshizuku otoshita tokoro de
nanimo kawaranai

Your cleared heart is much too spacious
No matter where I shed a drop of words
nothing changes

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる 感じる make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
yosete wa kaeshite make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
yusaburu kanjiru make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
break onto the shore and retreat, make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
shake, feel, make waves

例え 届かなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
心に伝えたい 次は僕からの WAVE

tatoe todokanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
kokoro ni tsutaetai tsugi wa boku kara no WAVE

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる ように 刺さって落ちる 心に
痛み ただ ゆっくり
甘い 痛みに 何を 求めて

yurari yura yurayura
yureru you ni sasatte ochiru kokoro ni
itami tada yukkuri
amai itami ni nani o motomete

Swaying, swaying back and forth
In my pierced and falling heart, as if it’s swaying
is a pain, simply at ease
What do you seek in this sweet pain?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆらり ゆらり ゆらゆら ゆれる 心は
ゆらり 君を願い 君を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yurari yurari  yurayura yureru kokoro wa
yurari kimi o negai kimi o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying swaying, my swaying heart swaying back and forth
sways, wishes for you, has been searching for you
simply swaying back and forth

そうだ 僕の心は狭すぎて
君の言葉 一雫 落とされただけで
どこへも行けない

sou da boku no kokoro wa sema sugite
kimi no kotoba hitoshizuku otosareta dake de
doko e mo ikenai

That’s right, my heart is much too confined
With just a single drop of your words
I can’t go anywhere

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
波間に浮かんで make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
震える 感じる make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
namima ni ukande make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
furueru kanjiru make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
float on the waves, make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
shiver, feel, make waves

例え 叶わなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
どうか響かせて それは君からの WAVE

tatoe kanawanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
douka hibikasete sore wa kimi kara no WAVE

Because even if my wish doesn’t come true, I’ll show you my swimming
Please let it resound, the WAVE from you

澄んだ 君の心は眩しくて
僕の心 一雫 落とすことなんて
許されないけど

sunda kimi no kokoro wa mabushikute
boku no kokoro hitoshizuku otosu koto nante
yurusarenai kedo

Your cleared up heart is dazzling
If I were to do something like shed a drop of my heart
I wouldn’t be forgiven however

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる 感じる make waves

Wan~椀~

Whoa, spent much longer than I thought I’d need to on this one. It had some pretty tough lines in it, I thought this song was a bit beyond what I could do before I started. I’m not all too familiar with the characters of DDC, so I can’t really offer much input on meanings or anything here this time.

野に一条 渡る川より
こっちよおいで
漂流者を呼び寄せ

no ni hitosuji wataru kawa yori
kocchi yo oide
hyouryuusha o yobi yose

Rather than the river extending across the plain
come over this way instead
I call out for the drifters

心を食み 枯れ切った頃に
病み患い熱を帯びて

kokoro o hami karekitta koro ni
yami wazurai netsu o obite

Back when I ate my heart and withered up
sick with malady, I wore a fever

離れる 流れる
抗えないことばかり
滝は雨 泣いた雨
汚れた身を削いで空

hanareru nagareru
aragaenai koto bakari
taki wa ame naita ame
kegareta mi o soide sora

Drifting away, streaming away
nothing but going with the flow
Waterfalls of rain, the sky cried down rain
chipping away at my polluted body

怒りを裂け夜ら 癒えるものか
願いの族 小人である

ikari o sake yora ieru mono ka
negai no zoku kobito de aru

The nights cleave up anger, like hell I’ll be healed
in this clan of wishers, as a Kobito

紙芝居の続きを秘めて
時 遥かに 肖像画の人はと

kamishibai no tsuzuki o himete
toki haruka ni shouzouga no hito wa to

“When you hide the sequel to the paper picture story
far off in time, what about the people in the portrait?”

問いかければ 知らぬと応え
もういいよ おいで あれは君

toikakereba shiranu to kotae
mou ii yo oide are wa kimi

If that question is asked, “I don’t know” is the response
Don’t worry about it, come now, that there is you

降りやめ 閉じた雨
浸るほどに満ちてまた
錆びた雨 黴びた雨
打ちつけた 彩り坂

furi yame tojita ame
hitaru hodo ni michite mata
sabita ame kabita ame
uchitsuketa irodori saka

The rain that closed, that stopped pouring
grows again to the point where I’m soaked
The rusted rain, the moldy rain
beat down against the hill’s colours

月舞踏は夜明けまでの宴
地鳴り篭る

tsuki butou wa yoake made no utage
jinari komaru

The moon’s dance is a party up until dawn
I’m confined to the ground’s rumbles

積みきれたかい?
そんな鬼の落し物を━。

tsumi kireta kai?
sonna oni no otoshimono o

Did I pack it with me?
The lost property of that oni

出し風場になぁれ
次の世へと渡るなら
舞い風刃になぁれ
もしもそれを望むなら

dashi kaze ba ni naare
tsugi no yo e to wataru nara
maikaze ba ni naare
moshimo sore o nozomu nara

It’ll become a place of rushing wind
if I cross into the next world
It’ll turn to dancing razor wind
if I were to wish it so

見つけての声はそこにいたか
禊の針

mitsukete no koe wa soko ni ita ka
misogi no hari

Was the voice I found really there?
In that purification needle

光を刺せ夜ら 褒美の実とは
その日を乞う祈りである

hikari o sase yo ra houbi no mi to wa
sono hi o kou inori de aru

The light piercing nights, the fruit of their reward is
begging for that day, as a prayer

Rebirth

Requested by my friend Chiss. Special thanks to Tegamin for transcribing the lyrics, and to Maria for sending me the scans.

“The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky,” could this possibly be refering to heaven?

数多に注ぐ 光に洗われた
何かが欠けて 閉じたこの世界で
地平に溶ける 水平のかなたを
誰かがきっと 見ていた

amata ni sosogu hikari ni arawareta
nani ka ga kakete tojita kono sekai de
chihei ni tokeru suihei no kanata wo
dare ka ga kitto miteita

I was washed by the downpour of light
Something’s missing in this closed off world
Someone has certainly been looking beyond the horizon
that melts at ground level

望んだものが 偽りだとしても
時がやがては 真実に変えるなら
意味も理由も 本当はあるのでしょう
だけど見向きもしないでしょう

nozonda mono ga itsuwari da toshite mo
toki ga yagate wa shinjitsu ni kaeru nara
imi mo riyuu mo honto wa aru no deshou
dakedo mi muki mo shinai deshou

Even if what I wished for is nothing but a lie
If in the end time turns into truth
then meaning and reason would really exist, right?
But it’ll be looked right past won’t it?

どこへ どこかへ 流れ流されて行こう
帰り支度のまま 心細い旅路
誰が 誰もが 手を振っては夢のあと
今を確かめるように

doko e doko ka e nagare nagasarete yukou
kaeri jitaku no mama kokorobosoi tabiji
dare ga dare mo ga te wo futte wa yume no ato
ima wo tashikameru you ni

To some place, to somewhere, the stream shall go and be drained
as I’m preparing to return home, it’s a lonely journey
Afterwards, after this dream, everyone will wave their hands
as if checking to make sure that they’re awake

人は楽園と呼ぶ いつか辿り着く場所は
なぜか懐かしい空で
儚げに おぼろげに どうしてそんな不安そうに
覗き込む蓮華鏡

hito wa rakuen to yobu itsuka tadori tsuku basho wa
naze ka natsukashii sora de
hakanage ni oboroge ni doushite sonna fuan sou ni
nozoki komu rengekyou

The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky
Fleetingly and vaguely, why so seeming anxiously
do I peer into the lotus mirror?

色の次には 音までなくなって
寂しさだけが 支配する世界で
明けに照らされ
それでも濁り酒は 月を映した

iro no tsugi ni wa oto made nakunatte
sabishisa dake ga shihai suru sekai de
ake ni terasare
sore demo nigorizake wa tsuki wo utsushita

The spectrum between colour and sound dies out
In a world controlled by loneliness alone
I was shined upon by the dawn
but even so my cloudy sake reflected the moon

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life

近く楽園はもう 永遠じゃないと知り
静かに役を終える
たとえその日が来ても
あなたはあなたのままで 在り続けるのでしょう
故に、永遠の巫女

chikaku rakuen wa mou eien janai to shiri
shizuka ni yaku wo oeru
tatoe sono hi ga kitemo anata wa anata no mama de ari tsuzukeru no deshou
yueni, towa no miko

Knowing that the close by paradise is no longer eternal
and quietly ending your duty
for example even if that day did come
you would continue to remain the same as you are wouldn’t you?
And so, would be an eternal shrine maiden

楽園はまた 生まれ変わろうとしてる
とても懐かしい空へ
陰と陽、夢想、綺想が 終わるじゃなく繋がる
此処が夢、此処が境

rakuen wa mata umare kawarou to shiteru
totemo natsukashii sora e
in to you, musou, kisou ga owaru janaku tsunagaru
koko ga yume, koko ga sakai

Paradise tries to be reborn again
towards a very nostalgic sky
Yin and yang, dreams, and fantastic ideas are connected without an end
Here is a dream, here is a border

楽園はただ 全てを受け入れよう
忘れ去られた 全て
それは東の国の 名前のない御伽噺
遙か遠きに 失はれた幻想
続いてく

rakuen wa tada subete wo uke ireyou
wasure sarareta subete
sore wa higashi no kuni no namae no nai otogibanashi
haruka tooki ni ushinawareta gensou
tsuzuite ku

Paradise shall just accept everything
everything that was forgotten
That’s the nursery rhyme without a name from that eastern country
Far away off in the distance, the fantasies that were lost
continue on

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life
Open up your eyes and you’ll see the truth

I’ll turn the future you’ve drawn out into a soggy mess
Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
The meaning of your kindness and of my kindness
are separate

逆さまのまま 浮かぶ涙に
