Baby, Baby

Requested by Primity, it’s as he said, you can see the growth that both Tsubaki and Mei have underwent since they started. I think I like Tsubaki’s lyrics more when they’re like this rather than her more abstract ones, it’s easier to get perspective.

Notes: During the line “Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear,” I picture that as meaning she can’t pull the blind down the window to block him out. I’m also stuck on the fence about whether I should’ve put “deserty” in place of “desert-like.” Maybe “a sandy place” or “barren” would’ve worked well too.

崩れていく理想の会話
ロープレ通りできないなら
予習したって意味がなくて
むなしいだけ whatever you say

kuzurete iku risou no kaiwa
roopure doori dekinai nara
yoshuu shita tte imi ga nakute
munashii dake whatever you say

We have a talk of crumbling ideals
If you can’t follow the roleplay then
there’s no point in having a lesson prepared
Whatever you say just goes to vain

はぐらかして楽しんでる
私一人置いてけぼり
肝心なとき頼れなくて
寂しいだけ そうきっと

hagurakashite tanoshinderu
watashi hitori oitekebori
kanjin na toki tayorenakute
sabishii dake sou kitto

Always slipping away to have some fun
leaving only me behind
I can’t rely on this crucial time with you
It’s just lonely, surely that’s so

君は一人でも生きていけるからそんな逞しいんだ
弱く生まれた私には難しいことばかり

kimi wa hitori demo ikite ikeru kara sonna takumashii n da
yowaku umareta watashi ni wa muzukashii koto bakari

It’s no wonder you’re so strong, you’re good at living even all alone
For someone who was born weak like me, that’s a little difficult

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の心が どこか知らない場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
ガラス越しでも 消せないまま
大好き goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kokoro ga dokoka shiranai basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
garasu goshi demo kesenai mama
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Your heart is somewhere unknown to me
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
本当の気持ち 隠さないでよ 大丈夫って
君の指先 触れたまつげが 証明する
大好き goodbye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
honto no kimochi kakusanai de yo daijoubu tte
kimi no yubisaki fureta matsuge ga shoumei suru
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Don’t hide your true feelings, it’s alright”
Your that fingertips were touched by my eyelashes leaves proof
that I love you, good bye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Baby, baby! Do you hear?
I’m not ready to tell you goodbye

分かり合ったつもりだった
本当は長い からっぽの距離
気づかなくて 手を伸ばした
踏み外して I almost fall down!

wakari atta tsumori datta
honto wa nagai karappo no kyori
kidzukanakute te o nobashita
fumi hazushite I almost fall down!

We had the intent to understand each other
The truth is we’re separated by a long empty distance
I didn’t notice, I reached out my hand
I lost my footing, I almost fell down!

馬鹿みたいで恥ずかしくて
でも君には言えなかった
もっと近くに行きたかった
寂しいだけ そう まだ

baka mitai de hazukashikute
demo kimi ni wa ienakatta
motto chikaku ni ikitakatta
sabishii dake sou mada

I’m so stupid and embarassed
but I couldn’t say that for you
I wanted to get closer to you
but I’m just still lonely, yes, still

君が何を背負っているのか何一つ知らないんだ
辛いことや苦しいこといろいろあったのかな

kimi ga nani o seotteiru no ka nani hitotsu shiranai n da
tsurai koto ya kurushii koto iroiro atta no kana

Just what burdens are you carrying? I don’t know about even one
I wonder if you’ve had various painful or tough times…

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の欠片が 砂漠みたいな場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
私の手では 連れ出せない
ごめんね goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kakera ga sabaku mitai na basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
watashi no te de wa tsure dasenai
gomenne goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Broken pieces of you are scattered in a desert-like place
Baby, maybe you’re not here
With these hands I can’t take them out
I’m sorry, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
私の気持ち 包み込んでよ 平気だよって
君の視線で 捕らえたんなら 証明して
大好き goodbye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?
watashi no kimochi tsutsumi konde yo heiki da yo tte
kimi no shisen de toraeta n nara shoumei shite
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Wrap up all my feelings, I’m alright”
If I’ve been captured by your sight, prove it
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
君の心が どこか知らない場所にあって
Baby,maybe you’re not here
ガラス越しでも 消せないまま
大好き goodbye

Baby,baby! Are you here?
kimi no kokoro ga dokoka shiranai basho ni atte
Baby,maybe you’re not here
garasu goshi demo kesenai mama
daisuki goodbye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Your heart is somewhere unknown to me
Baby, maybe you’re not here
Even though you’re just behind the glass, I can’t make you disappear
I love you, good bye

Baby,baby! Do you hear?

Baby, baby! Do you hear?
“Don’t hide your true feelings, it’s alright”
Your eyelashes that were touched by my fingertips leaves proof
that I love you, good bye

Baby, baby! Are you here?
Baby, maybe you’re not here

Saint

After translating Dolls, I wondered how many other Alstroemeria songs I liked that were untranslated (even though this was actually arranged by Syrufit), and was surprised to find this one. I spent way longer than I should have, working on this one. I think I may have put a little too many tags onto this one.

渇きを潤すぬるい風
あと幾つ数えるの
切なさが思い出になるまで
少し夢見させて

kawaki o uruosu nurui kaze
ato ikutsu kazoeru no
setsunasa ga omoide ni naru made
sukoshi yume misasete

A lukewarm, damp air that quenches thirst
How many more will you count?
Until my memories become painful
let me dream a little more

もし生まれ変われるなら
想いは届かない場所へ

moshi umare kawareru nara
omoi wa todokanai basho e

If I were to be able to be born again
then off, out to the place where my thoughts don’t reach

記憶 紐を解いて
ひとつずつ辿ってみるの
吸い込まれそうなほど
透き通った時間彷徨う
引き換えに出来るのは
瞳と心と囁き
願い叶うのなら
あなたのキスで溶かして

kioku himo o toite
hitotsu zutsu tadotte miru no
sui komaresou na hodo
suki tootta jikan samayou
hikikae ni dekiru no wa
hitomi to kokoro to sasayaki
nagai kanau no nara
anata no kisu de tokashite

Untying strings of my memories
one by one I try to follow up
It seems I’ve done it enough for them to be sucked in
To wander about a time that’s become transparent

For this, I can exchange
my eyes, heart and whispers
If my wish comes true
then melt with your kiss

見上げる事を躊躇ってた
星空が包み込む
優しく浮かぶは朧月夜
どうして泣いてるの。。。?

mi ageru koto o tameratteta
hoshizora ga tsutsumi komu
yasashiku ukabu wa oborodzukiyo
doushite naiteru no…?

I had hesitated to look on up
The starry sky is wrapped up
by a gently floating misty, moonlit night
Why am I crying now…?

もし生まれ変われるなら
私は私でいさせて

moshi umare kawareru nara
watashi wa watashi de isasete

If I were to be able to be born again
let me stay as myself

もう振り返らない
焦がれる幸せ犠牲に
この手を刃にして
壊す事なんてできない
零れ落ちる涙は
流れ星にならなかった
いっそ消えるのなら
あなたのキスで溶かして

mou furi kaeranai
kogareru shiawase gisei ni
kono te o yabai ni shite
kowasu koto nante dekinai
kobare ochiru namida wa
nagareboshi ni naranakatta
isso kieru no nara
anata no kisu de tokashite

I won’t look back anymore
at the sacrifice it took for this longed for happiness
I turn my arm into a blade
but I can’t destroy anything
My tears that spill and fall
haven’t turned into shooting stars
If they’d sooner disappear
then melt me with your kiss

Without words I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate

I still love you I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate…

Without words I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate

I still love you I melt into moon
I still love you No reason, it’s my fate…

西行寺幽々子の死生観 | Saigyouji Yuyuko no Shiseikan | Yuyuko Saigyouji’s View of Life and Death

As I dug around my song collection, desperately searching for one to translate that hasn’t already been done, I came across this good old one from my “Ultimate Truth” phase. Little did I know how sad this song would be. They say that Yuyuko killed herself you know, due to her power to manipulate death. This song seems to detail it.

何かを求めて誰もが日々を往く
生を費やし次第に近付く

nani ka o motomete dare mo ga hibi o yuku
sei o tsuiyashi shidai ni chika dzuku

Everyone proceeds day after day searching for something
They spend their whole life, gradually drawing near

消え往く者には新たな天命を
辿る輪廻は途切れないはずなのに

kie yuku mono ni wa arata na tenmei o
tadoru rinne wa togi kirenai hazu nanoni

For those who are to disappear, the cycle of a new destiny
to be given through rebirth shouldn’t be broken although

そうここでいくら想いめぐらせても
その答えは一つ

sou koko de ikura omoi megurasetemo
sono kotae wa hitotsu

Yes, right here, no matter how much you think about it
there is only one exception

命捨てるそのために
生かされているなんて
とても認められない

inochi suteru sono tame ni
ikasareteiru nante
totemo mitomerarenai

Living for the intent
of throwing away life, that kind of thing
is by no means acceptable

「また誰の命弄ばれる?」
望むことはあり得ず
縛る宿命解いて
自由に生き続けたい

「mata dare no inochi moteasobareru」
nozomu koto wa ariezu
shibaru sadame hodoite
jiyuu ni iki tsudzuketai

“Whose life have you been playing with again?”
Unable to possibly wish for a thing
I untie the strings of fate
wanting to live on in freedom

この空へ透ける蝶が飛んで消える
行く場所も知らせず

kono sora e sukeru chou ga tonde kieru
yuku basho mo shirasezu

The transparent butterflies fly through this sky then disappear
not even knowing where they will end up

光り躍る美しさだけを目に焼き付かせ
他に何も残さずに

hikari odoru utsukushisa dake o me ni yaki tsukase
hoka ni nani mo nokosazu ni

I’ll let the beauty of this dancing light alone sear into my eyes
without leaving anything else behind

もしこの身消えて無くなったなら
魂どこを彷徨う
心繋ぐ記憶も残せることはないのか

moshi kono mi kiete naku natta nara
omoi doko o samayou
kokoro tsunagu kioku mo nokoseru koto wa nai no ka

If this body of mine were to disappear and rot away
where would my soul roam off to?
Would there really be no way for these memories tied to my heart to remain?

今自らも許せはせぬ
罪を見据え明日を往く
ただ去り難きは人の生
生きる意思が果てようと

ima mizukara mo yuruse wa senu
tsumi o misue asu o yuku
tada sarigataki wa hito no sei
ikiru ishi ga hate you to

Even now, for me myself, I also won’t be excused
heading to a tomorrow where my sins are judged
It’s just hard for people to leave behind their life
“My purpose for living seems to have ended”

訪れる明日は滅びを纏う
けれど心明るく
抱え抜いた苦しみ
その先 全ては終わる
花弁舞い散る様に

otozureru asu wa horobi o matou
keredo kokoro akuruku
kakae nuita kurushimi
sono saki subete wa owaru
hanabira mai ochiru you ni

The tomorrow to come will be clad in destruction
however my heart is now bright
All of my anguish has been drawn out
Afterwards, everything will come to an end
like a flower petal dancing as it falls
