Cirno,Q?

Requested by Mark, I present philosophical Cirno.

The further she questions who she is, and what she is, the deeper she falls into a positive feedback loop.

月の夜。
静けさと。
その暗さに。
身を任せ。

tsuki no yoru.
shizukesa to.
sono kurasa ni.
mi o makase.

It’s a moonlit night.
To its silence.
And its darkness.
I leave my body.

一人きり膝を抱え。
そっと問いかける。

hitorikiri hiza o kakae.
sotto toi kakeru.

Sitting all alone, arms around my knees.
I quietly begin to question.

自分という命のこと
自分という存在のこと

jibun to iu inochi no koto
jibun to iu sonzai no koto

About my own life
About my own existence

生まれて死んだならば
どこに行くのだろう？

umarete shinda naraba
doko ni iku no darou?

If I died after being born,
I wonder, where would I go?

ひとの様に…？
或いは別の…？

hito no you ni…?
arui wa betsu no…?

Where humans go…?
Or perhaps elsewhere…?

ただ一人で考えていたい　答が出なくても
それはなんの萌芽か

tada hitori de kangaeteitai kotae ga denakutemo
sore wa nan no houga ka

I want to keep thinking about this all alone, even if no answer shows up
What is that a sign of?

いつしかここに生まれていた
己というものを振り返るのなら

itsu shika koko ni umareteita
onore to iu mono o furi kaeru no nara

If I look back on that known as myself
who, in but a moment, was born here,

いつしかここに疑問を持ち
思索に沈みゆくその深さだけ
何かを踏み外すのか

itsu shika koko ni gimon o mochi
shian ni shizumi yuku sono fukasa dake
nani ka o fumi hazusu no ka

will I losing my footing somewhere
matching how deep I sink in speculation,
calling “here” into question before I realize it?

“この”外側へ…？

“kono” sotogawa e…?

Beyond “this”…?

自分と。
自分以外。
自分は。
何者か。

jibun to.
jibun igai.
jibun wa.
nani mono ka.

Myself and.
That which is not myself.
Myself?
Who am I?

何が一緒で。　何が違うか。
それが大切か。

nani ga issho de. nani ga chigau ka.
sore ga taisetsu ka.

What’s the same? And what’s different?
Is that important?

自分という存在が
他者と違うのなら

jibun to iu sonzai ga
hoka no minna to chigau no nara

If the existence that is myself
is different from everybody else,

そうあるべく生きるとして
何をするべきだろう？

sou aru beku ikiru toshite
nani o suru beki darou?

in order to live as such,
just what should I do?

人のように…？
或いは別の…？

hito no you ni…?
arui wa betsu no…?

What humans do…?
Or what others do…?

薄氷の上を渡る様な　不安定な自問自答
その危うさに両足を踏んで”哲学”を進めるなら
拙いその足取りでも

hakuhyou no ue o wataru you na fuantei na jimonjitou
sono ayausa ni ryouashi o funde “bouken” o susumeru nara
tsutanai sono ashidori demo

It’s an unstable internal debate, like walking across thin ice
If I tread that danger with both of my feet and carry on my “philosophic adventure”
despite the unreliable footing…

いつしか此処で思考を得た
己というものに思い馳せるなら

itsu shika koko de shikou o eta
onore to iu mono ni omoi haseru nara

If I set my thoughts towards myself
who, in but a moment, gained consciousness,

いつしかそれに疑問を持ち
新たに問い直すその多さだけ
何かが変わっていくのか

itsu shika sore ni gimon o mochi
arata ni toi naosu sono oosa dake
nani ka ga kawatte iku no ka

will something change
matching how much I newly requestion,
calling “that” into question before I realize it?

――これ以上先に　踏み入ってはいけない。

――kore ijou saki ni fumi itte wa ikenai.

――I must not step further beyond this point.

言い知れぬ予感にも似た予兆を感じては慄く

ii shirenu yokan ni mo nita yochou o kanjite wa ononoku

I shudder upon feeling an omen, much like a foreboding beyond words

それは己の内に満たした新たなる可能性か？

sore wa onore no uchi ni mitashita arata naru kanousei ka?

Could it be a new possibility fulfilled within myself?

循環し
保つ同一性
投影された　自然のその姿
それらの外へ――外側へと。
自分というものの存在意義を
問いかけ続けることで…

junkan shi
tamotsu douitsusei
touei sareta shizen no sono sugata
sorera no soto e――sotogawa e to.
jibun to iu mono no sonzai igi o
toi kake tsudzukeru koto de…

Circulating
holding identity
Nature’s very form projected
Towards the other side―― beyond those.
By continuing to question the meaning of existence
of something like myself…

いつしかここに現象した
己というものを定義するのなら

itsu shika koko ni genshou shita
onore to iu mono o teigi suru no nara

If I define that which is myself
who, in but a moment, materialized here,

いつしか全てに疑問を持ち
その意味を見出すその重さだけ
何かを求めていくのか

itsu shika subete ni gimon o mochi
sono imi o midasu sono omosa dake
nani ka o motomete iku no ka

will I seek something
matching the weight of the meaning I discover,
calling everything into question before I realize it?

“その”外側へ…？

“sono” sotogawa e…?

Beyond “that”…?

“Lost in space” and “Oceanic blue” have already been translated by Kaf, so I don’t see much more from this album I’ll translate besides perhaps “beyond the stars.”

“Forever love”

そう　初めて貴方と　出会ってからどれくらい
ああ　木屋町通は　五回目の桜

sou hajimete anata to de atte kara dore kurai
aa kiyamachi toori wa gokaime no sakura

Yes, how long has it been since I first met you
Ah, in Kiyamachi Street, it’s the fifth time for cherry blossoms

秘密のチケットで　夜風が誘うわ
緩やかに歪みだした景色の中

himitsu no chiketto de yokaze ga sasou wa
yuruyaka ni hizumi dashita keshiki no naka

With a secret ticket, the night’s wind lures us
into a scenery that’s begun to loosely distort

月灯りに　二人の影が伸びて
夢の世界のドアが開く
生まれ変わっても　また一緒だよ
繋ぎ合った手　永遠のハーモニー

tsukiakari ni futari no kage ga nobite
yume no sekai no doa ga hiraku
umare kawattemo mata issho da yo
tsunagi atta te towa no haamonii

Our shadows extend in the moonlight
and the door to a world of dreams opens up
Even if we’re reborn, we’ll be together again
With hands together, it’s eternal harmony

“Forever love”

そう　瞼に浮かぶは　数えきれない想い出
ああ　独りきり歩く　鴨川の岸辺

sou mabuta ni ukabu wa kazoe kirenai omoide
aa hitorikiri aruku kamogawa no kishibe

Yes, when I close my eyes, I see countless memories
Ah, all alone I walk along Kamokawa’s shore

別れの季節が来るよりも早く
運命が二人の手を解いたけど

wakare no kisetsu ga kuru yori mo hayaku
unmei ga futari no te hodoita kedo

Even faster than the coming of the season of parting
fate untied both of our hands, although

流れ星に　願いの涙捧げ
お伽話のページめくる
奇跡の出会いは　未来の神話
甦る微笑みのシンフォニー

nagareboshi ni negai no namida sasage
otogibanashi no peeji mekuru
kiseki no deai wa mirai no shinwa
yomigaeru hohoemi no shinfonii

Offering wishful tears to a shooting star
we’ll flip the page of the fairy tail
This miraculous meeting will be a future legend
A reviving smile’s symphony

時を越えて　何度でも巡り逢う
広い宇宙に輝く銀河の果てで

toki o koete nando demo meguri au
hiroi uchuu ni kagayaku ginga no hate de

Exceeding time, we’ll meet as much as it takes
at the ends of the galaxy sparkling in the vast cosmos

月灯りに　二人の影が溶けて
夢の世界の色に染まる
うわ言のような呪文唱えて
曖昧な現実を滲ませて

tsukiakari ni futari no kage ga tokete
yume no sekai no iro ni somaru
uwagoto no you na jumon tonaete
aimai na ima o nijimasete

Our shadows melt in the moonlight
and are tinted in the colour of a world of dreams
Chant a delirious spell,
and cause this vague moment of reality to blur

溢れ出す願いの涙捧げ
お伽話のページめくる
奇跡の出会いは　未来の神話
甦る微笑みのシンフォニー

afure dasu negai no namida sasage
otogibanashi no peeji mekuru
kiseki no deai wa mirai no shinwa
yomigaeru hohoemi no shinfonii

Offering overflowing wishful tears
we’ll flip the page of the fairy tail
This miraculous meeting will be a future legend
A reviving smile’s symphony

Regret

Requested by Tewi Inside. I can’t say these lyrics hooked me like the others in the album.
I feel like lyrics like this have been done before, and better, in other Alst songs.
But that’s all just my opinion.

☆ Title: Regret
★ Album: POP | CULTURE 3

★ Lyrics: Haruka

揺れる揺れる　振り子のように　心預け　耳を澄ませば
君の声に　誰かが答え　君の歌で　夢を見る
もしも君が　取り残されて　一人きりで　泣いたとしても
そんな時は　少し休んで　僕の出す腕を　掴めばいい

yureru yureru furiko no you ni kokoro azuke mimi o sumaseba
kimi no koe ni dare ka ga kotae kimi no uta de yume o miru
moshi mo kimi ga tori nokosarete hitorikiri de naita toshitemo
sonna toki wa sukoshi yasunde boku no dasu ude o tsukameba ii

Swaying, swaying, like a pendulum, if you lend out your heart and open your ears
someone will respond to your voice, and will dream because of your song
Even if you so happened to be left behind and cried all alone
During times like that, just take a small rest, it’ll be fine if you hold my arm

いつまでも歩いてた　何もない道ただ歩いてた
こんなに悲しくなる　だけど忘れられないままで
季節が変わる毎に　忘れたいこと忘れられない
こんなに空しくなる　自分からはさよならしよう

itsu made mo aruiteta nani mo nai michi tada aruiteta
konna ni kanashiku naru dakedo wasurerarenai mama de
kisetsu ga kawaru goto ni wasuretai koto wasurerarenai
konna ni munashiku naru jibun kara wa sayonara shiyou

I have always been walking, just walking down a path that leads to nothing
I get so sad, but even so, I remain unable to forget
Every time the seasons change, I’m unable to forget what I want to
I get so empty inside, so I shall say goodbye myself

残してきた　足跡今　誰かがほら　見つけ出す
君がいれば　笑顔作り　悲しみも乗り越えてゆけるよ

nokoshite kita ashiato ima dare ka ga hora mitsuke dasu
kimi ga ireba egao tsukuri kanashimi mo nori koete yukeru yo

The footprints I left behind, someone will, look, discover them
As long as you’re here, I can smile, and I can even overcome grief

巡る巡る　想いは巡る　心今は閉ざしていても
君の声は　僕に届くよ　君の歌で　夢を見る
少し見せた　君の笑顔が　僅かだけど　僕に響いた
そんなことも　見逃さないよ　だから今だけは　身を任せて

meguru meguru omoi wa meguru kokoro ima wa tozashiteitemo
kimi no koe wa boku ni todoku yo kimi no uta de yume o miru
sukoshi miseta kimi no egao ga wazuka dakedo boku ni hibiita
sonna koto mo mi nogasanai yo dakara ima dake wa mi o makasete

Round and round, my feelings go around, even if my heart is closed at the moment
Your voice will reach me, and I will dream because of your song
The few smiles you showed me, while not often, echoed in me
I won’t overlook things like that either, so for the time being, leave yourself to me

季節が変わる毎に　君と歩んだはずだった場所
かけるはずの言葉も　言えないままに胸に残す

kisetsu ga kawaru goto ni kimi to ayunda hazu datta basho
kakeru hazu no kotoba mo ienai mama ni mune ni nokosu

Every time the seasons change, there are places we ought to have walked together
Even the words I should’ve said, remaining unable to say them, stay in my heart

残してきた　足跡なら　続いている　確実に
君がいれば　かまわないさ　苦しみも乗り越えてゆけるよ

nokoshite kita ashiato nara tsuidzuiteiru kakujitsu ni
kimi ga ireba kamawanai sa kurushimi mo nori koete yukeru yo

As for the footprints left behind, they’re continuing, no doubt
As long as you’re there, I don’t mind, and I can even overcome pain

揺れる揺れる　振り子のように　心預け　耳を澄ませば
君の声に　誰かが答え　君の歌で　夢を見る
もしも君が　取り残されて　一人きりで　泣いたとしても
そんな時は　少し休んで　僕の出す腕を　掴めばいい

yureru yureru furiko no you ni kokoro azuke mimi o sumaseba
kimi no koe ni dare ka ga kotae kimi no uta de yume o miru
moshi mo kimi ga tori nokosarete hitorikiri de naita toshitemo
sonna toki wa sukoshi yasunde boku no dasu ude o tsukameba ii

Swaying, swaying, like a pendulum, if you lend out your heart and open your ears
someone will respond to your voice, and will dream because of your song
Even if you so happened to be left behind and cried all alone
During times like that, just take a small rest, it’ll be fine if you hold my arm

こんなに　君が大事と　気づいたとき　言葉も出ない
すでに別の　道を選んで　さよならさえ　言えなくて
今はすべて　僕の妄想　君の笑顔　君の声さえ
思い出して　後悔だけが　僕の胸の中　溢れてくる

konna ni kimi daiji to kidzuita toki kotoba mo denai
sude ni betsu no michi o erande sayonara sae ienakute
ima wa subete boku no mousou kimi no egao kimi no koe sae
omoi dashite koukai dake ga boku no mune no naka afurete kuru

When I realized that you’re so important to me, words wouldn’t come out
I already chose a different path, I couldn’t even say goodbye
Now, it’s all just a delusion of mine, your smile, even your voice
Recalling them, the regret just comes overflowing inside my chest

Deeper Than Your Eyes, Farther Than Platinum Moon

Requested by Eiki. Camellia lyrics usually seem like a pain, so I tend to skip them, but they were pretty nice this time, I think.

日付を一つ超えて　薄く靄が滲んだ夜の
静けさに触れられて　君も動きを止めるのだろう
月の輪　見詰めて
（温度をなくして）

hidzuke o hitotsu koete usuku moya ga nijinda yoru no
shizukesa ni furerarete kimi mo ugoki o tomeru no darou
tsuki no wa mitsumete
(ondo o nakushite)

Passing a single date, being touched by the stillness
of the night thinly blotted with mist, you’ll also stop moving won’t you
Gazing at the the circular moon
(Losing temperature)

まだ深まる夜の海に　白金の球が浮かぶ
まだ解けない目線　絡まったまま　星を探しだす

mada fukamaru yoru no umi ni hakkin no kyuu ga ukabu
mada hodokenai mesen karamatta mama hoshi o sagashi dasu

In the yet deepening sea of night, the platinum sphere floats
My gaze, yet unbroken, remaining tied, searches for stars

明日の朝が眠る　朱色の空は遥か遠い
藍が幽かに爆ぜて　音もなくあたりを満たしていく
木の影が遮って　斑雲の群が覆っても
怖いほどの閑寂に　君も光を漏らすのだろう
月の輪　透かして

ashita no asa ga nemuru shu iro no sora wa haruka tooi
ai ga kasuka ni hazete oto mo naku atari o mitashite iku
ki no kage ga saegitte madara kumo no mura ga oottemo
kowai hodo no kanjaku ni kimi mo hikari o morasu no darou
tsuki no wa sukashite

Tomorrow’s morning sleeps, the vermillion sky stretches long and far
Filling the vicinity without a sound, indigo faintly bursts and spreads
Even if the trees’ shadows obstruct and groups of speckled clouds conceal,
in the scarily tranquil stillness, you’ll also let out your light, won’t you
The circular moon shines through

日付を一つ超えて　薄く靄が滲んだ夜の
静けさに触れられて　君も動きを止めるのだろう
月の輪　見詰めて

hidzuke o hitotsu koete usuku moya ga nijinda yoru no
shizukesa ni furerarete kimi mo ugoki o tomeru no darou
tsuki no wa mitsumete
(ondo o nakushite)

Passing a single date, being touched by the stillness
of the night thinly blotted with mist, you’ll also stop moving won’t you
Gazing at the the circular moon
(Losing temperature)

まだ深まる夜の海に　白金の球が浮かぶ
まだ解けない目線　絡まったまま　星を探しだす

mada fukamaru yoru no umi ni hakkin no kyuu ga ukabu
mada hodokenai mesen karamatta mama hoshi o sagashi dasu

In the yet deepening sea of night, the platinum sphere floats
My gaze, yet unbroken, remaining tied, searches for stars

露がその肌伝う　落ちて消えればまた滴る
どれだけこの夜明けが　近づいても逃げてしまいたい
振り撒かれた光る砂　一つずつ辿って繋いで
道のない夜空では　君も独りじゃ寂しいだろう

tsuyu ga sono hada tsutau ochite kiereba mata shitataru
dore dake kono yoake ga chikadzuitemo nigete shimaitai
furi makareta hikaru suna hitotsu zutsu tadotte tsunaide
michi no nai yozora de wa kimi mo hitori ja samishii darou

The dew follows down your skin, another trickling if it falls and disappears
No matter how close the dawn comes, I just want to run away for good
Following the scattered sparkling sand, I connect them one by one
In the roadless night sky, I’ll bet it’s lonely being by yourself

月の輪　追いかけ　瞳に　映して

tsuki no wa oi kake hitomi ni utsushite

Chasing after the circular moon, casting into our eyes
