DEATHANDREBIRTH

It’s important to note that this is an arrange of the Ten Desires stage 3 theme, Yoshika’s stage, so you should really read this from her perspective.

This is definitely the hardest song from this album though, I can already tell. I’ll admit right now, my weakest point in Japanese grammar would probably have to be the te verb + は thing, and they’ve really filled this song full of that kind of thing.

きっと夢で忘れたように　夢も忘れて心に触れた
言葉の意味　はき違えては　また忘れては　どこ行こうか
きっと影がそうしたように　夢もそうして心壊れた
こだわる意味　行き違う日々　また忘れてた　これでさようなら

kitto yume de wasureta you ni yume mo wasurete kokoro ni fureta
kotoba no imi haki chigaete wa mata wasurete wa doko ikou ka
kitto kage ga sou shita you ni yume mo shite kokoro kowareta
kodawaru imi iki chigau hibi mata wasureteta kore de sayounara

I’m sure, forgetting dreams just as I forgot as I dreamt, my heart was touched
Since I’m mixing up and again forgetting the meanings of words, where shall we go?
I’m sure, with the dream doing just as the shadows did, my heart broke
Fixated on meanings, the days pass each other, I’ve forgotten again, with this it’s goodbye

でも　まだ　そばにいる　気がしては　枯れていく
この想いは勘違い？
閉じる世界　望んでたのは　罪の色　終わる命

demo mada soba ni iru ki ga shite wa karete yuku
kono omoi wa kanchigai?
tojiru sekai nozondeta no wa tsumi no iro owaru inochi

Though I’m still by your side, I feel I’m withering away
Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this closing world, what I’ve wished for is, a sinful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you 誰かのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you　生きたかったのに
どうして　どうして　涙が　止まらなかったの
I’m here for you 生きていたのかさえ
I’m still waiting for you　忘れて願う
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you dare ka no tame dake ni
I’m still waiting for you ikitakatta noni
doushite doushite namida ga tomaranakatta no
I’m here for you ikiteita no ka sae
I’m still waiting for you wasurete negau
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you, just for someone’s sake
I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to live
why didn’t, why didn’t, the tears ever stop?
I’m here for you, whether I was even alive
I’m still waiting for you, I forget and wish
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

もっと愛を　と求めすぎて　また傷つけて途方にくれた
笑顔の嘘　はき違えても　信じたふりを続けようか
ぎゅっと握ったナイフの色を　瞳に焼き付けて　どこに行くの
ころがる嘘　物言わぬ花　また会いましょう　これでさようなら

motto ai o to motome sugite mata kizutsukete tohou ni kureta
egao no uso haki chigaetemo shinjita furi o tsudzukeyou ka
gyutto nigitta naifu no iro o me ni yaki tsukete doko ni iku no
korogaru uso mono iwanu hana mata aimashou kore de sayounara

“Give me more love” I overwished, once again giving pain, I was at a loss
Even if I mistake the lies from that smile, shall we continue pretending I believed you?
Burning the colour of the knife firmly grasped in my hands into my eyes, where will it go?
Lies are scattered about, the flowers won’t say a word, may we meet again, with this it’s goodbye

でも　まだ　生きている　気がしては　死んでいく
この想いは勘違い？
堕ちる世界　望んでたのは　嘘の色　終わる命

demo mada ikiteiru ki ga shite wa shinde yuku
kono omoi wa kanchigai?
ochiru sekai nozondeta no wa uso no iro owaru inochi

Though I’m still alive, I feel like I’m dying
Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this falling world, what I’ve wished for is, a deceitful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you あなたのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you　死にたかったのに
どうして　どうして　心が　壊れなかったの
I’m here for you 正しさの意味さえ
I’m still waiting for you　忘れて笑う
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you anata no tame dake ni
I’m still waiting for you shinitakatta noni
doushite doushite kokoro ga kowarenakatta no
I’m here for you tadashisa no imi sae
I’m still waiting for you wasurete warau
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you, for your sake alone
I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to die
Why didn’t, why didn’t, my heart become broken?
I’m here for you, even the meaning of what’s right
I’m still waiting for you, I forget and laugh
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this closing world, what I’ve wished for is, a sinful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you あなたのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you　生きたかったのに
どうして　どうして　どうしても　救えなかったの
I’m here for you 生きていながらもう
I’m still waiting for you　生きてはいない

I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to live
Why couldn’t, why couldn’t, at any cost, couldn’t you save me?
I’m here for you, though I have life
I’m still waiting for you, I’m not alive anymore

I’m going to take this time to give some special thanks to Mai for giving me the scans of the Blooming Daydream booklet! I’ll be translating more from this album soon, probably after I’m done with Mother Nature and ZEphyr from Zytokine.

★ Title: Horizon
☆ Album: Blooming Daydream
★ Album Artist: Amateras Records
☆ Vocals: Ahiru (あひる)
★ Lyrics: Renko

☆ Website: http://amateras-records.com/


Seasons are changing. The winds are giving away.
Deep in my heart, I can feel there’s something great.

When the sky turns to night, I just wanna give into you.
I can’t set it aside and I keep thinking about the truth.

This city’s skyline could perfectly highlight the night.
The moonlight showing the way to my heart.
A breeze that carries the blossoms among all the stars.
Thought I may try, I can’t give them any names. And I…

…Know that time can be unkind.
Cause when I hold on back, I run away by lying.
Why can’t I face all the sudden feelings I hold?

Eating me from deep inside.
When I think I’m into you, I keep denying
Loving you unlike no other.

Every time, I wake up and I see this clear blue sky,
I envy the birds as they lift, enjoying life.

But the choice still remains if I’ll act or should never try
Making up all the reasons to reach the distant skies.

The falling rain leaves its mark on the darkening ground.
And though I seem to be sure in the day…
Under this simple facade that I’ve kept for a while,
It fades away when our eyes meet time and time again.

When will I try to survive?
Every time I move, I start to lose my courage.
Barries keep what I cannot handle outside.

Understand and make demands.
I shouldn’t give it up before I start on trying.
Picking up the scattered fragments.

Seasons are changing. The winds are giving away.
Deep in my heart, I can feel there’s something great.

When the sky turns to night, I just wanna give into you.
I can’t set it aside and I keep thinking about the truth.

Though I’m afraid, I have lost the fear inside.
Naming these feelings has given me new life.

Once it’s been said, I think I might leave all my doubts behind.
Giving me strength and courage to leap on into the night.

Stranger in the dusk

Big thanks to Tegamin for the Mother Nature scans, I’ve been searching every day for these. Of course, this had to be the first song I worked on. Next one might be DEATHANDREBIRTH or BOUNCE OF LIFE, I’m not really all too sure yet.

Notes: The words in (brackets) aren’t included in the booklet, and I had an especially tough time deciphering what certain words could be in the 4th stanza down there, if anyone has other suggestions.

★ Title: Stranger in the dusk

★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE

現実から　現実への
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
心地の良い　未来の歌
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

genjitsu kara genjitsu e no
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
kokochi no yoi mirai no uta
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

From reality, towards reality
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
A pleasant song of the future
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

手のひらに　落ちた　希望　夢　祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira ni ochita kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dropped into the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

会いたいから　会えないから
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
星はいない　輝かない
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

aitai kara aenai kara
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
hoshi wa inai kagayakanai
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

Because I want to see you, because I can’t see you
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
The stars are all gone, they no longer shine
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

手のひらで　踊る　希望　夢　祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira de odoru kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dancing in the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are crying together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are crying together like stranger in the white
We all are crying together like stranger in the black
We all are crying together like stranger in the dusk

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

This has to be the most grammatically clear Touhou song I’ve ever read. It’s also the only song I’ve ever heard to use polite form in the lyrics if I recall. It’s a really rare thing to see.

自分に自信が持てず
不安で悩んで迷ったり
他人の言葉に深く落ち込んだりもしたけど

jibun ni jishin ga motezu
fuan de nayande mayottari
tanin no kotoba ni fukaku ochi kondari mo shita kedo

Without having any confidence in myself
I was anxious, troubled and lost
I’ve also fell into deep depression from the words of others, however

塞ぎこむのはやめにしました
人生は短いから時間の無駄です
楽しいことを追いかけることにしました
だって私も幸せになりたいもん！

fusagi komu no wa yame ni shimashita
jinsei wa mijikai kara jikan no muda desu
tanoshii koto o oi kakeru koto ni shimashita
datte watashi mo shiawase ni naritai mon!

I decided to put an end to feeling so down
Life is too short, so that’s just a waste of time
I decided instead to chase after fun things
because after all, I want to become happy too!

見上げた大空は青く
どこまでも果てしなく
ちっぽけな私のことも認めてくれる気がして
見上げた雲は白くて
私を包む空気は
今までこぼした涙を洗い流してくれるから

mi ageta oosora wa aoku
doko made mo hateshi naku
chippoke na watashi no koto mo mitomete kureru ki ga shite
mi ageta kumo wa shirokute
watashi o tsutsumu kuuki wa
ima made koboshita namida o arai nagashite kureru kara

The great sky I looked up to is blue
stretching out with no end in sight
I get a feeling that it notices someone even as little as me
because the clouds I looked up to are white
and the air that wraps up around me
washes away all the tears I’ve shed up to now

取り柄が見つからなくて
あの子を羨んでみたり
そういうのはもう全部これからなしにしましょう？

torie ga mitsukaranakute
ano ko o urayande mitari

Unable to find any positive traits
I looked at the others with envy
Lets go without all those sorts of feelings from here on, shall we?

バカにしたりバカにされたり
そんなのは無意味なことと気づきました
俯くことはやめて前を向きました
だって私も幸せになりたいもん！

baka ni shitari baka ni saretari
sonna no wa muimi na koto to kidzukimashita
utsumuku koto wa yamete mae o mukimashita
datte watashi mo shiawase ni naritai mon!

Making an idiot of others and myself
I realized that there’s no point in things like that
I stopped looking down and began to face forward
because after all, I want to become happy too!

見上げた大空は青く
どこまでも果てしなく
辛いこと苦しいことを忘れさせてくれました
風がゆっくり吹き抜け
その優しい感触は
失った私の自信取り戻してくれました

mi ageta oosora wa aoku
doko made mo hateshi naku
tsurai koto kurushii koto o wasuresasete kuremashita
kaze ga yukkuri fuki nuke
sono yasashii kanshoku wa
ushinatta watashi no jishin tori modoshite kuremashita

The great sky I looked up to is blue
stretching out with no end in sight
letting me forget all the tough and painful times
The wind goes and peacefully blows by
and that gentle feeling it gave me
took back and returned all of the confidence I had lost

この空を高く
どこまでも果てしなく
ちっぽけな私もいつか飛べるような気がして
風がゆっくり吹き抜け
その優しい感触は
傷ついた私の背中そっと押してくれるから

kono sora o takaku
doko made mo hateshi naku
chippoke na watashi mo itsuka toberu you na ki ga shite
kaze ga yukkuri fuki nuke
sono yasashii kanshoku wa
kizutsuita watashi no senaka sotto moshite kureru kara

Far up over this sky
that stretches out with no end in sight
I get a feeling that even someone as little as me will someday be able to fly
Because the wind goes and peacefully blows by
and the gentle feeling it gives me
softly pushes me to go on when I’ve been hurt
