To open up secret paths,
Escaping the suffering
From those who keep following.
We have a choice in this life.
Mistakes will be made so
It’s up to each one to decide.
Time keeps ticking by.
Don’t realize something is wrong with me.
If I keep it inside,
I have no way to know if it’s all right.
But when anger’s bottled up inside,
Can I resist against unspoken words or try to hide?
Temptation rages into reality.
Even if I find the words to cry,
They disappear and leave behind the traces of my lies.
It’s spilling over the side.
Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
It’s still not too late.
The many times I’ve tried in vain,
For one to confide in
Before it was locked away.
The wrong I’ve done you remains.
But do I accept that there’s no way to take it back?
One chance to live life,
Can I make sense of it before I die?
“Forgive and to forget.”
Take it all for granted and what do we get?
Scaling up the walls of so-called life…
“Impossible” had been a word I chose to recognize.
But even so, I felt so ostracized.
Actions over words, the ones unheard.
Repeatedly, I never knew what was I fighting for.
The end was left in the dark.
Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
It’s still not too late.
Time keeps ticking by.
Don’t realize something is wrong with me.
If I keep it inside,
I have no way to know if it’s all right.
But when anger’s bottled up inside,
Can I resist against unspoken words or try to hide?
Temptation rages into reality.
Even if I find the words to cry,
They disappear and leave behind the traces of my lies.
It’s spilling over the side.
Scaling up the walls of so-called life…
“Impossible” had been a word I chose to recognize.
But even so, I felt so ostracized.
Actions over words, the ones unheard.
Repeatedly, I never knew what was I fighting for.
The end was left in the dark.
Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
I still can be saved.
Requested by pretty much everyone. Warning, by the time I went to proofread this translation for errors, my brain had became a brat and stopped following orders and thinking properly, probably in a protest for sleep.
I lament that I can not make the text white, but I made an attempt at silver.
shiroi iki ga sora e kiete iku hajimaru yoru o mae ni
tsumetai kaze ga kirari to yurasu hoshi
itsu no hi kara datta n darou egaita yume no naka de
kara ni natta kokoro ukabu hakotachi
My white breath fades into the sky, before the beginning night the freezing wind with a gleam causes the stars to shiver I wonder how long it’s been, that in the dreams I imagined the packages crossing my mind became empty
長い眠りを迎える前に
瞬く星の海 走るの
nagai nemuri o mukaeru mae ni
matataku hoshi no umi hashiru no
Before I welcome hibernation I’m going to run towards the sea of twinkling stars
hirogaru gin no sekai usurete yuku ashiato
furi tsudzuite asu ga sukoshi kawaru you
usui kumo no kirema ni kagayku tsuki no akari
kajikandeita yubisaki o nobashita
boku ga todoku you ni
The silver world expands, the footprints fade away Keep on snowing down, and I feel like tomorrow might change a bit The moonlight sparkles in the rifts between the thick clouds I had stretched out my frostbitten fingertips towards them hoping to reach
kisetsu meguru tabi ni umareru atarashii boku ga iru
kawaita kaze ga hakonda tooi hibi
fukurande wa shibondeittta nayami no tane o hitotsu
nozoki komu to sore wa tada itoshii
Each time the seasons cycle, a new me is born during the far days the parched wind had carried When I peek into a single seed of worry that shriveled up upon growing, it’s simply just lovely
寒い夜から目覚める瞬間に
寄り添える温もり 残した
samui yoru kara mezameru toki ni
yori soeru nukumori nokoshita
When waking up from cool, chilly nights I left behind a warmth that I could snuggle up to
uruou hitomi ga utsushita wasuretai kioku o
katari kakete kikoenu you ni kossori to
mi watasu kagiri hirogaru hoshi no umi ga tokashita
tsugi ni de au koro ni wa mou atarashii
kimi ga soko ni wa iru
When I speak about the memories I want to forget that my watery eyes project, I do it discreetly so nobody can hear When the sea of stars that stretches as far as the eye can see has melted the next time we meet, there will already be a new you there
sure chigatta hitokage itsu ka no fuyu kasaneta
itsu made mo itsu made mo mitsumeteta
atsui kumo no kirema ni kagayaku tsuki no akari
kajikandeita yubisaki o nobashita
boku ga todoku you ni
The shadows of people that passed each other added to someday’s winter I’ve always, and always witnessed it The moonlight sparkles in the rifts between the thick clouds I had stretched out my frostbitten fingertips towards them hoping to reach
I’ve been planning to retranslate a couple of サドマゾヒズム (Sadomasochism) songs for a while now, and with the release of ニューサドマゾヒズム (New Sadomasochism), I have even more reason to do so. Of course, I’m going to be cheesy and call it ニュートランスレーション (New Translation).
You can find the original translation over at mirror of paranoia, Jaefine’s site.
Notes: The title, romanized “ennb~ennbi~”, means “Abyss Flames.” When it comes to interpretation on the lyrics’ meanings, I have no idea. Shuriken’s lyrics are well-known for being difficult and very abstract. The meaning of 「奏」 alone is a bit fuzzy to me. Apparently 夜見 means 黄泉, if I did my research correctly. There have been very small changes in the lyrics from the original enn～淵～. I have left in the opening and ending segments as well, though they are not sung in this version of the song (unfortunately).

hikari no naka de wa mienai mono ga kurayami no naka de yoku mieru
ame kaze hare samusa kara kou fukou subete ten no shiwaza
kairyuu no you na seiza ni hito wa moeru you ni kogoeru you ni
mitabi negai o negau ichigun no kirameki gojuu seidan
Within the darkness, you can often see things invisible in the light. From rain, wind, shine and cold, to fortune and misfortune, all of them are acts of the heavens. To the oceanic constellations, people, as if burning, as if freezing, wish their wishes three times. A lustrous herd, a quintuplet cluster.
宙に浮かぶ夜汽車が闇を駈けたら
叶うまで見上げていて 軌道を 夜見の内
chuu ni ukabu yogisha ga yami o kaketara
kanau made mi ageteite kidou o yomi no fuchi
When the night train floating in space races throughout the dark keep looking up until your wishes come true, at its orbit, within the underworld
ある人はまた悲しい傷を負うまま
沖に夜明けの兆しはないから 騒ぐ杜
aru hito wa mata kanashii kizu o ou mama
oki ni yoake no kizashi wa nai kara sawagu mori
As a certain someone still bears a sorrowful scar there’s not a breath of dawn out at sea, so the forest stirs
言葉には変わらぬ想いの音がしたという 瑠璃色の空には
kotoba ni wa kawaranu omoi no oto ga shita to iu ruri iro no sora ni wa
They say the sound of unchanging feelings in words was made out in the azure sky
願いの詩が 星屑絵 降りしきるままで
迎えの灯に渡る 星屑絵 濁流よ 潜れ
negai no shi ga (hoshikuzu e) furi shikiru mama de
mukae no hi ni wataru (hoshikuzu e) dakuryuu o kugure
As the poem of wishes (stardust sketches) downpours torrentially Spanning to the welcoming light (stardust sketches), cut through the impure flow
やがて深い黒の間からの声がと
信じていたいのならば話を続けよう
yagate fukai kuro no ma kara no koe ga to
shinjiteitai no naraba hanashi o tsudzukeyou
Before long, there’ll be a voice out from between the pitch black If you want to keep faith in that then let’s continue the story
野の花を映した光は 瞬いたとされるだけの幻か
no no hana o utsushita hikari wa matataita to sareru dake no maboroshi ka
Is the light that reflected flowers of the field just an illusion perceived to be twinkling?
追えば消えて 星屑絵 砕け散る流星
呼気 かよわく伸びる 星屑絵 天体どこまで
oeba kiete (hoshikuzu e) kudake chiru ryuusei
koki kayowaku nobiru (hoshikuzu e) tentai doko made
Vanishing upon pursuing, (stardust sketches) the shattering shooting stars Extending their breath fragilely, (stardust sketches) how far will the celestials go?
それを何と見紛えた 寂しそうな偽星空
sore o nan to mi magaeta samishisou na nise hoshizora
What could you have mistaken it for? The lonely looking false starry sky
酔えや酔え 彼方に 星屑絵 遠い日 面影
舞い落ちる蜃気楼 星屑絵 降りしきる奏
yoe ya yoe kanata ni (hoshikuzu e) tooi hi omokage
mai ochiru shinkirou (hoshikuzu e) furi shikiru kanade
Elate, elate; in the distance, (stardust sketches) there are traces of distant days Mirages, fluttering down, (stardust sketches) completely downpour
owari to hajimari no kisetsu ni uwasa hodo toki wa nokotteinai
kosame o sake kokage ni yadoreba shizukesa ni de aeru no kamo shirenai
sari gake ni futo toi kaketa 「sono negai ni fukusei wa kiku no ka」to
togire togire ni kikoeta no wa rendou suru youkouro no uneri
In the seasons of the end and the beginning, there’s no time left matching up to rumours. If you avoid the rain and take shelter under the trees’ shadows, perhaps we may meet in silence. About to leave, suddenly questioning “Replication is effective for those wishes?” all that could be heard, in fragments and pieces, was the undulations of a linked smelting furnace
hikari no naka de wa mienai mono ga kurayami no naka de wa yoku mieru
itsu ka no keshiki ni kasaneta toshite modorenai no naraba mayowanai hazu
moshi nozomu nara zatsunen wa sute chakuriku mae no wazuka na sukima ni
fumi dasu to douji ni matataki o mite mou mitabi negai o negau to ii
Within the darkness, you can often see things invisible in the light. Lapping over the scenery of another day, if you’re unable to turn back, then you shouldn’t hesitate. If you wish, you should clear your mind, at the same moment you step out into the narrowest opening before landing, look at the twinkling, and another three times, wish your wishes.
