nighty-night

Requested by IMGVERTEX, I need to do more Infect Paranoia songs, especially Blue Sky.

Notes: I do not know how the sun gave off a smell.
First off, it’s far, far away.
Secondly, hydrogen is an odourless gas.
Please do not be suspicious of my work’s quality. I can guarantee this line’s translation is 100% accurate.
I’m a scientist.

ねぇ 僕が大人になる頃の世界は
今とは違う景色なのかな?

nee boku ga otona ni naru koro no sekai wa
ima to wa chigau keshiki nano kana?

Hey, when I become a grown-up, will the world
look different than it does now?

ねぇ パパとママの言う 「いい子になること」
それが何を意味するかなんて
知らんぶりしてた日々に
言い訳ばかりしてたよ
数々の失敗たちを
毛布押し込めた

nee papa to mama no iu 「ii ko ni naru koto」
sore ga nani o imi suru ka nante
shiran buri shiteta hibi ni
iiwake bakari shiteta yo
kazukazu no shippai tachi o
moufu oshi kometa

Hey, “becoming a good girl” like papa and mama say
What does that mean? Such things
I pretended not to know, during those days
I did nothing but make excuses
All the many mistakes I made
I smothered in my blanket

何も喋らない君の
右手をぎゅっと握って
お日様の匂いがする

nani mo shaberanai kimi no
migite o gyutto nigitte
ohisama no nioi ga suru

Holding your right hand tightly
as you don’t say a word
the sun makes a smell

そっと目を閉じた
夢見てnighty-night
2人のnighty-night
君とのdreamy-night

sotto me o tojita
yume mite nighty-night
futari no nighty-night
kimi to no dreamy-night

Gently I closed my eyes
Dreaming, nighty-night
Together, nighty-night
With you, dreamy-night

ねぇ 僕が消えていなくなっても世界は
何も変わらず時が過ぎるの?

nee boku ga kiete inaku nattemo sekai wa
nani mo kawarazu toki ga sugiru no?

Hey, even if I come back, will time go by
without the world changing at all?

ねぇ いつか大きな声で笑えること
信じるまま探してみたんだ
後悔したくないけど
飛び越えたい思いたち
選択できない答え
枕押しこめた
優しく微笑む君と
星空を見上げながら
明日もいい日になるよ

nee itsu ka ooki na koe de waraeru koto
shinjiru mama sagashite mita n da
koukai shitakunai kedo
tobikoetai omoi tachi
sentaku dekinai kotae
makura oshi kometa
yasashiku hohoemu kimi to
hoshizora o mi agenagara
ashita mo ii hi ni naru yo

Hey, I tried to search believing I’ll be able to
laugh with a loud voice someday
I don’t want to regret anything
but my thoughts want to take off
I took the response I couldn’t choose
and shoved it in my pillow
With you smiling kindly
while looking up at the starry sky
tomorrow will be another good day

そっと目を閉じた
夢見てnighty-night
2人のnighty-night
君とのdreamy-night

sotto me o tojita
yume mite nighty-night
futari no nighty-night
kimi to no dreamy-night

Gently I closed my eyes
Dreaming, nighty-night
Together, nighty-night
With you, dreamy-night

不安な言葉もいつか
鮮やかに染まっていく
明日の景色描いて
パジャマ着替えたら

fuan na kotoba mo itsu ka
azayaka ni somatte iku
ashita no keshiki egaite
pajama ki gaetara

Even anxious words will someday
will be coloured vividly
Picturing tomorrow’s scenery
when I change into my pajamas

何も喋らない君の
右手をぎゅっと握って
お日様の匂いがする
そっと目を閉じた

nani mo shaberanai kimi no
migite o gyutto nigitte
ohisama no nioi ga suru
sotto me o tojita

Holding your right hand tightly
as you don’t say a word
the sun makes a smell
Gently, I closed my eyes

形のない花 | A Flower Without Form

Requested by Anacoonda ages ago, this song has some awkward grammar going on -so much so that it was painful at some points. I was able to guess who the lyricist for this was based solely on that: the one known for strange structure. くまりす, the Shuriken of EastNewSound. Still nowhere near the real Shuriken’s level of lyric confusion though, that stuff is nuts, but relative to the rest of the ENS crew, it’s a fitting title.

It also seems that Maiko has already translated this song here, if you want another perspective.

ah 白い砂 寄せる波 流れ着く琥珀色と
降り注ぐ暗い雨崩れ落ち泡の中

ah shiroi suna yoseru nami nagare tsuku kohaku iro to
furi sosogu kurai ame kuzure ochi awa no naka

Ah, the white sand, the incoming waves, the colours of amber washing ashore
and the downpouring dark rain fall in the bubbles

ah積み重ねた時代のなか 変わらない何もかも
落としてきた大事なもの 今更気づいても

ah tsumi kasaneta jidai no naka kawaranai nani mo kamo
otoshite kita daiji na mono ima sara kidzuitemo

Ah, in this era where it’s all gathered up, not a thing changes
Even if after all this time I notice the important things I lost

瞬くこの地平で瞳を刺す光
生まれてきた理由も知らない 「モトメテ」
出会いと別れからも覚えた感情と
ひとしきりに溢れた嗚咽は 「アイシテ」

matataku kono chihei de hitomi o sasu hikari
umarete kita riyuu mo shiranai 「motomete」
deai to wakare kara mo oboeta kanjou to
hitoshikiri ni afureta oetsu wa 「aishite」

On this sparkling horizon, the light pierces my eyes
I don’t even know why I was born, “then seek”
The feelings I learned from meetings, even from goodbyes,
and the sobs that temporarily flooded out, “love them”

ah とりとめのない言葉一人傷ついていても
何気ない一言で気持ちが湧き交わる

ah toritome no nai kotoba hitori kizutsuiteitemo
nani ge nai hitokoto de kimochi ga waki majiwaru

Ah, even if I’m hurt alone by unwanted words
with just a few simple words my feelings cross with excitement

ah触れた肌と絡む指に伝わるその思いも
求められたその居場所は自分じゃなくていい

ah fureta hada to karamu yubi ni tsutawaru sono omoi mo
motomerareta sono ibasho wa jibun janakute ii

Ah, even if the home that was saught for and the thoughts passed down
through the skin I touched and entwined fingers aren’t my own it’s fine

幾度と繰り返す惰性さえ心地よい
無益にさえ思えた煙の行く末

ikudo to kuri kaesu dasei sae kokochiyoi
mueki ni sae omoeta kemuri no yukusue

Even the countlessly repeating habits are pleasant
The future of the smoke I even thought was pointless

愛と云う形無い花

ai to iu katachi nai hana

A flower without form called love

瞬くこの地平で瞳を刺す光
生まれてきた理由も知らない 「モトメテ」
出会いと別れからも覚えた感情と
ひとしきりに溢れた嗚咽は 「アイシテ」

matataku kono chihei de hitomi o sasu hikari
umarete kita riyuu mo shiranai 「motomete」
deai to wakare kara mo oboeta kanjou to
hitoshikiri ni afureta oetsu wa 「aishite」

On this sparkling horizon, the light pierces my eyes
I don’t even know why I was born, “then seek”
The feelings I learned from meetings, even goodbyes,
and the sobs that temporarily flooded out, “love them”

Innocent Beats

Perhaps my favourite song from this EastNewSound album.
Personally, I think Raiko has one of the best designs of all the Touhou.

一人 星のない空を眺め
今は この気持ち冷めないよに
君が 初めて奏でた音に
そっと心動き出す

hitori hoshi no sora o nagame
ima wa kono kimochi samenai yo ni
kimi ga hajimete kanadeta oto ni
sotto kokoro ugoki dasu

Gazing at the starless sky alone
it doesn’t feel like my feelings will subside now
Gently my heart gets moving
to your first played sound

始まりの Beat, My Beat… 胸の奥で
存在の証明を
私の Beat, My Beat… 響かせたい
今すぐに Beat, My Beat, My Beat

hajimari no Beat, My Beat… mune no oku de
sonzai no shoumei o
watashi no Beat, My Beat… hibikasetai
ima sugu ni Beat, My Beat, My Beat

The primordial Beat, My Beat… in my heart
My proof of presence
My very own Beat, My Beat… I want to make it ring
Right away Beat, My Beat, My Beat

何時か 今見ている風景も
変わる 私の知らないうちに
ギュッと 心が苦しくなるよ
だけと 立ち止まれなくて

itsu ka ima miteiru fuukei mo
kawaru watashi no shiranai uchi ni
kyutto kokoro ga kurushiku naru yo
dakedo tachi tomarenakute

Someday, the sights I see right now
will change while I’m unaware
Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my heart
However, I just can’t stop here

始まりの Beat, My Beat… 胸の奥で
存在の証明を
私の Beat, My Beat… 響かせたい
今すぐに Beat, My Beat, My Beat

hajimari no Beat, My Beat… mune no oku de
sonzai no shoumei o
watashi no Beat, My Beat… hibikasetai
ima sugu ni Beat, My Beat, My Beat

The primordial Beat, My Beat… in my heart
My proof of presence
My very own Beat, My Beat… I want to make it ring
Right away Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat… 重なり合う
私達の存在
未来の Beat, My Beat… もっと遠く
始まりの Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat… kasanari au
watashitachi no sonzai
mirai no Beat, My Beat… motto tooku
hajimari no Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat… reverberates
Our presence
A future Beat, My Beat… even further
The primordial Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Requested by Flaemes, I’m starting to get a lot of requests piled up now. Cue sirens blaring in the background, I’ve gone against the original order I was supposed to do them in. Being very overdue on working on requests, I figured I’d start off here with what looks like the shortest one. I can’t recall if Kafka said he’d do 昊飛ぶ郵便屋さん, but if so, that might be an extra one off the list, and a very tough looking one, at that.

Notes: 「そんな夢に ah…」 is effectively untranslatable, given the grammatical structure of English. There is no verb. I put it as “I’ll see your dream and ah…,” but there is no “see,” I only wrote that there to allow me to put “and” in as well, so I could add in the vagueness of the original line. To give a more literal translation, it’d be “I’ll ___ your dream.”

閉ざした景色は 逆さまデタラメ
好きとか嫌いじゃ 視えない裏と表
口には出せない 貴方のコトだと
本当は何にも変わっていないはずで

tozashita keshiki wa sakasama detarame
suki toka kirai ja mienai ura to omote
kuchi ni wa dasenai anata no koto da to
hontou wa nan ni mo kawatteinai hazu de

This sealed off scenery is upside down, all nonsense
Love and hate, they’re both unseeable sides of the same coin
I can’t express how I feel about you
all because I thought nothing would be different

ありふれたエブリデイ 唐突に過ぎて
忘れられたサムデイ ”私、此処にいるよ”

arifureta eburidei toutotsu ni sugite
wasurerareta samudei “watashi, koko ni iru yo”

Everyday, plain as always, passes by all of a sudden
Someday, forgotten, “I’ll be right here”

否定したいよ こんな結末
何時か貴方の為に そんな夢に ah…

hitei shitai yo konna ketsumatsu
itsu ka anata no tame ni sonna yume ni ah…

I don’t want to accept an ending like this
Someday, for your sake, I’ll see your dream and ah…

二人 笑い合うエブリデイ 壊れてしまうよ
裏表のサムデイ ”私、此処にいるよ”

futari warai au eburidei kowarete shimau yo
uraomote no samudei “watashi, koko ni iru yo”

Everyday, with us smiling at each other, accidentally fell apart
Someday, double dealing, “I’ll be right here”
