げんきになったときのうた | The Song When I Became Lively

Posted by Amen

Can’t spell slaughter without laughter.
If you have any doubts of what kind of mushroom Marisa ate, I beckon you to the booklet.

Edit: Updated to 2023 standards.

お気に入りのリボン、三つ編みにして
いつもよりも全部ね、オシャレにきめて
誰よりも速く空の向こうへ、飛んで行ってあなたに会いに行くの。

o ki ni iri no ribon mitsuami ni shite
itsu mo yori mo zenbu ne oshare ni kimete
dare yori mo hayaku sora no mukou e tonde itte anata ni ai ni yuku no

Wearing my favourite ribbon as part of a braid
and dressing up more stylishly than usual in every way
I fly across the sky, faster than everyone to go see you

今日はなんだかいつもよりもずっと。
みんな、みんな全てが輝いているの。
きっと、こういう日にはいいことがあるわ。
でもなぜかどうしてもドアが開かないの。

kyou wa nanda ka itsu mo yori mo zutto
minna minna subete ga kagayaiteiru no kitto
kou iu hi ni wa ii koto ga aru wa
demo naze ka dou shitemo doa ga hirakanai no

Today everyone, everyone,
and everything is shining way more than usual for some reason
Good things are certain to happen on days like these,
but for some reason the door won’t open no matter what

煌めいて、花も木もみんなみんな笑っている。私の周りで廻る。

kirameite hana mo ki mo minna minna waratteiru watashi no mawari de mawaru

Everyone’s twinkling, flowers and trees, everyone is laughing, spinning around me

丸いお空を見上げて見れたら、お日様さまたち　きらきらきらりん！
皆で私が頑張れますように、見守ってくれているの？
愛しいあの人もどこかできっと私に向かって笑ってくれる！
そしたら私は、いまよりもずっと、明日を素敵に歩けるの。◇たぶん。

maarui osora o mi agete miretara o hi sama samatachi kira kira kirarin!
minna de watashi ga ganbaremasu you ni mi mamotte kureteiru no? itoshii ano hito
mo doko ka de kitto watashi ni mukatte waratte kureru! soshitara watashi wa
ima yori mo zutto ashita o suteki ni arukeru no ◇tabun.

When I look up at the big round sky I see all the suns twinkle twinkle twinkling back!
Are you watching over me so that I can put my best foot forward?
I’m sure my darling is also out there heading my way with a smile!
If so, I’d be able to make my way through tomorrow more lovelier than now ◇maybe.

とても不思議、不思議ね。楽しくなって。
移り変わる全てが七色に光る。
きっとさっき食べたキノコのお陰。
でも何故か、どうしても足が動かないの。

totemo fushigi fushigi ne tanoshiku natte
utsuri kawaru subete ga nana iro ni hikaru
kitto sakki tabeta kinoko no okage
demo naze ka dou shitemo ashi ga ugakanai no

Isn’t this so, so incredible? Things have gotten fun!
Everything’s changing, shining in a rainbow
I’m sure it’s thanks to the mushroom I ate just now
but for some reason no matter what I can’t move my legs

歌ってる。花も、木も。皆、皆、囁いている。私の周りを廻る。

utatteru hana mo ki mo minna minna sasayaiteiru watashi mawari o mawaru

Everyone’s singing, flowers and trees, everyone’s whispering, circling around me

丸いお空を見上げて見れたら、星屑さまたち　しゃらしゃらしゃらりん！
素敵なお家で明日もきっと、素晴らしい日が待ってるの？
愛しいあの人もいつかはきっと、私のことを認めてくれる！
そしたら私は今よりもずっと、自分を素敵に思えるの。◇たぶん。

maarui osora o mi agete miretara hoshikuzu samatachi shara shara shararin!
suteki na o uchi de ashita mo kitto subarashii hi ga matteru no?
itoshii ano hito mo itsu ka kitto watashi no koto o mitomete kureru!
soshitara watashi wa ima yori mo zutto jibun o suteki ni omoeru no ◇tabun.

When I look up at the big round sky I hear all stardust ring ring ringing back!
Will another wonderful day be awaiting me at this lovely house tomorrow too?
I’m sure someday my darling is going to notice me too!
Then I’d be able to think of myself more lovelier than now ◇maybe.

皆が笑ってる。私を笑ってる。私を指さして笑ってる。
私が嗤ってる。私を嗤ってる。私を指さして、指さして。ああ！！

minna ga waratteru watashi o waratteru watashi o yubi sashite waratteru
watashi ga waratteru watashi o waratteru watashi o yubi sashite yubi sashite aa

Everyone’s laughing, laughing at me, pointing their finger at me, laughing
I’m laughing, laughing at me, pointing my finger at me, pointing at me, ah

誰にも彼にも愛されていない　　“切れっ端”　　の様な女の子がね。
どこまでも続く暗闇の中で　　「助けて欲しい」　　と叫んだってね。
こんなに遠くて暗いところへ、迷い込んじゃった女の子をね。
助けてくれる人なんて居ない。と、気づいた時には手遅れなのよ。

dare ni mo kare ni mo aisareteinai kireppashi no you na onna no ko ga ne
doko made mo tsudzuku kurayami no naka de tasukete hoshii to sakenda tte ne
konna ni tookute kurai tokoro e mayoi konjatta onna no ko o ne
tasukete kureru hito nante inai to kidzuita toki ni wa teokure nano yo

You know that hollow girl that not a single person loves?
They say that within the unending darkness she screamed for help
And that girl who ended up getting lost somewhere so far and dark?
By the time she realized that there’s no one to save her it was too late

皆が皆で、私を囲んで私の周りで嗤っているの。
誰も助けてはくれはしないのに、じっと見つめては
あああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ
耳を塞いでも聞こえる声が
暗闇の中、響いて。

minna ga minna ga watashi o kakonde watashi no mawari de waratteiru no
dare mo tasukete wa kure wa shinai noni jitto mitsumete wa
aaaa
mimi o fusaidemo kikoeru koe ga
kurayami no naka hibiite

Everyone, everyone is surrounding me and laughing all around me
Instead of helping me, they just intently gaze and
aaaahh
even if I block my ears I can hear voices laaaaaaaughing
Resonating in the dark

暗闇を見つめて。一人見つめ返してきたのは私。
自分を見つめて私に私が私を私が私が、私が崩れる。どろりと溶ける。
そうして私は、悲鳴をあげる。

kurayami o mitsumete hitori mitsume kaeshite kita no wa watashi
jibun o mitsumete watashi ni watashi ga watashi o watashi ga watashi ga kuzureru doori to tokeru
sou shite watashi wa aaaaaaa

I gazed at the darkness, and what looked back was me alone
I gaze at myself – to me, I am, at me, I am, I am falling apart, melting into goop
and like that, I let out a scream

しあわせのことば | Words of Happiness

Posted by Amen

This song can be taken a few ways. First of all, view the booklet page. There’s a blood splatter on the final text box, a shady Marisa, and the sight of a seemingly unaware Reimu. One way to look at this, is that the song is coming from Marisa’s point of view (who went crazy on mushrooms in the previous track by the way), and that she’s now come to keep Reimu for herself, forever, as a corpse. Another way, could be Reimu is obvliously singing this with images of a pure love, unaware of the encroaching fate to soon befall.

そっとくちずさむ歌一つ
やわらかに想いをこめて

sotto kuchizusamu uta hitotsu
yawaraka ni omoi o komete

I put a single emotion softly
into the song I quietly sing to myself

ことばでは上手く伝えられず
私にはこれしかできないけど

kotoba de wa umaku tsutaerarezu
watashi ni wa kore shika dekinai kedo

Unable to convey it with words
this is the only thing I can do, however

わからない気持ちを
無理に伝えるよりも

wakaranai kimochi o
muri ni tsutaeru yori mo

rather than pushing myself to convey
these unknown feelings

一緒にね確かめていく
それを愛と呼んでいたい

issho ni ne tashikamete iku
sore o ai to yondeitai

hey, together, lets go and confirm them
I want it to be called love

いつかひとりでいるより
あなたとふたりがいい
そんな風に今よりも強く思えるなら

itsu ka hitori de iru yori
anata to futari ga ii
sonna fuu ni ima yori mo tsuyoku omoeru nara

Instead of being alone someday
it’s better being together with you
If I can think like that more strongly than now

この役目とか決まりとか
どうでもよくなるくらいに
私の傍にいてね

kono yakume toka kimari toka
dou demo yoku naru kurai ni
watashi no soba ni ite ne

to the point where this role or conclusion
and such things cease to matter
hey, stay with me

これからのことを思っては
変わりゆく日々の中怯えるより
あなたと愛を歌いたい

kore kara no koto o omotte wa
kawari yuku hibi no naka obieru yori
anata to ai o utaitai

Instead of thinking of how things’ll be afterwards
and being scared amidst the changing days
I want to sing of love with you

ずっとひとりでいるより
あなたとふたりがいい
そんな風にこれからも強く思えるなら

zutto hitori de iru yori
anata to futari ga ii
sonna fuu ni kore kara mo tsuyoku omoeru nara

Instead of being alone forever
it’s better being together with you
If I can think like that strongly after this

いまはただ二人で
生きていければいいと思うから
私の傍にいてね

ima wa tada futari de
ikite ikereba ii to omou kara
watashi no soba ni ite ne

I think that we should
go on living, just the two of us now, so
hey, stay with me

しあわせのおもいは
まだ言葉にはできないから
私は歌っている

shiawase no omoi wa
mada kotoba ni wa dekinai kara
watashi wa utatteiru

Because I still can’t
put these feelings of happiness into words
I’m singing

墓標 | Tombstones

Posted by Amen

Requested by my friend Lori, lyrics were found transcripted on a website. I somewhat question the structure of that last stanza there, but what can you do?

Notes: 「早起きにして六文の得」 is based on a proverb, 「早起きは三文の徳」, that essentially translates to “early bird catches the worm,” literally translating into “Waking up early is a benefit for those with little cash.” In this version though, instead of 三文, it’s 六文, which is the fare to cross the river Sanzu.

「丑の刻参り」, or “the two o’clock curse” as I named it, refers to the curse where you drive a nail through a doll into a sacred tree of a shrine for seven nights in a row between 1-3am to kill the person it represents. Imagine a voodoo doll. In the song here though, it only takes one night.

もう、そこには誰もいはしない。
だから、
もう、そこには君もいやしない。

mou, soko ni wa dare mo iwashinai.
dakara,
mou, soko ni wa kimi mo iyashinai

Not anymore, is anyone there.
Therefore,
not anymore, are you there either.

そこに只、在るのは。
二度と生を刻むことの無い骸―。

soko ni tada, aru no wa.
nido to sei o kizamu koto no nai mukuro―.

The things, that are simply there.
Are but corpses that will never chip at life again―.

首と躯とは離れ離れ。

kubi to karada to wa hanarebanare

Their heads and bodies can be defined as apart.

幸福に沈む、傍ら、磔に。

maboroshi ni shizumu, katawara, haritsuke ni.

Sinking into an illusion of joy, while also, into crucifixion.

そして、僕といえば、
二度と地を踏むことさえない屍―。

soshite, boku to ieba,
nido to chi o fumu koto sae nai kabane―.

And, if you speak of me,
you speak of a corpse never to even tread upon earth again―.

足を踏み入れた蓬莱の地に、
僕らの楽園を夢見たのに

ashi o fumi ireta hourai no chi ni,
bokura no rakuen o yume mita noni

On the grounds of Mount Hourai that we treaded,
although we dreamt of our paradise

ああ僕らは
何も知らなかったんだ
何もかもが嘘つきのこんな幻想郷があることも

aa bokura wa
nani mo shiranakatta n da
nani mo kamo ga usotsuki no konna sekai ga aru koto mo

Ah, we didn’t
know a single thing
not that this kind of world, gensokyo, where every little thing is a liar, existed either

ああ何を
違えてしまったのか
僕らはきっと仲良く生きていける筈だったのに

aa nani o
tagaete shimatta no ka
bokura wa kitto naka yoku ikite ikeru haze datta noni

Ah, what did we
end up going against?
Despite the fact that we surely should’ve been able to live on good terms

―せめて、君がいさえすれば…

―semete, kimi ga i sae sureba…

―At least, as long as you were here…

そんな思いが、胸を掠めては、　　消えた。

sonna omoi ga, mune o kasumete wa, kieta.

those kinds of thoughts brushed by my heart, and disappeared.

こんな恐ろしいところには、
もはや、
一刻たりとてもいられない。

konna osoroshii tokoro ni wa,
mohaya,
hitotoki tari totemo irarenai.

In this kind of dreadful place,
no longer,
not even one more moment can I stay.

そうしてその足を。
自ら死地に追いやる愚か者―。

sou shite sono ashi wo.
mizukara shichi ni oi yaru oroka mono―.

With that, I was a fool.
Who personally drove his feet into a land of death―.

もっとも安全な方法とは。

mottomo anzen na ikikata to wa.

The safest way to live can be defined as.

常に自分の手に握り置くもので。

tsune ni jibun no te ni nigiri oku mono de.

Something to always grip firmly in one’s own hands.

けして理解のできぬ、
世界に触れてなどしてはならない。

keshite rikai no dekinu,
sekai ni furete nado shite wa naranai.

You must not come in contact with a world,
that doesn’t understand that in the least.

なんて悪趣味な人形戯曲。
誰も人間ではいられなかったか

nante akushumi na ningyou asobi.
dare mo matomo de wa irarenakatta ka

What an untasteful toy theater.
Could no one be honest, be human?

ああ彼らは
かくも愚かだったのだ
暗闇の向こう側で謎のピエロが嗤っている

aa karera wa
kakumo oroka datta no da
kurayami no mukougawa de nazo no piero ga waratteiru

Ah, as for them
they were all so foolish.
The mysterious clown is sniggering on the other side of the darkness.

ああボクこそ
最後の勝者なのだ
愚か者共の末路をその正義の証として

aa boku koso
saigo no shousha na no da
oroka mono domo no matsuro o sono seigi no akashi toshite

Ah, but as for me
I’ll surely be the final victor
as proof of the justice of the fateful end of those fools

そして誰もいなくなる前に

soshite dare mo inaku naru mae ni

And then, before everyone dies off

これは心の最奥に刻み込む、墓標。

kore wa kokoro no oku ni kizami komu, bohyou.

This will etch into the depths of my heart, the tombstones.

疑いもせず　手に取る報い
好奇心こそ最大の敵よ

utagai mo sezu te ni toru mukui
koukishin koso saidai no teki yo

Without a doubt, they get their just desserts
It’s curiousity that’s the greatest enemy

そう、刻まれるべきだ一人一人
