宵闇の　影を切り取る　言の葉の | Of Words That Cut Down the Shadows of Twilight

Also featured in Zytokine’s XXX.

Notes: Though the 誘え is in imperative form there, I figure that was just to bust a rhyme with へ, rather than actually commanding to “lure towards the past”.

暗い夜の風が
瞬いて
あるはずのものを
探してる

kurai yoru no kaze ga
matataite
aru hazu no mono o
sagashiteru

In the dark night the wind
twinkles
searching for a thing that
should be

見えないわけじゃない
ただ見たくない

mienai wake janai
tada mitakunai

It’s not like I can’t see it
I just don’t want to

今はそれでいい
後悔は明日すればいい

ima wa sore de ii
koukai wa ashita sureba ii

I’m fine with that now
I just need to put off regrets until tomorrow

夜の色を好きな色へ
塗り替えて
隠せばいいよ
何もかもが終わる

yoru no iro o suki na iro e
nuri kaete
kakuseba ii yo
nani mo kamo ga owaru

Repainting the colour of the night
into one that I like
I just need to hide it
Every last thing will end

誘え過去へ　遠い影が
振り向いて
別離を告げる
『後ろの正面だあれ？』

sasoe kako e tooi kage ga
furi muite
wakare o tsugeru
『ushiro no shoumen daare?』

Towards the luring past, the distant shadows
turn around
They say their goodbyes
‘Who is it who stands behind me?”

daylight moonlight
手をふってさよなら
見えない　もうない　思い出せない

daylight moonlight
te o futte sayonara
mienai mou nai omoi dasenai

daylight moonlight
Wave your hands goodbye
Not in sight, not here anymore, unable to be recalled

雨の雫が
夜に嘘を歌わせる
重ねて歌えば
もう忘れてしまえばいい

ame no shizuku ga
yoru ni uso o utawaseru
kasanete utaeba
mou wasurete shimaeba ii

Droplets of rain
cause the night to sing lies
If it sings again
it’d be better to forget it all already

夜明けの晩に本当は何を
間違えた？
正しささえも
何もかもが終わる

yoake no ban ni hontou wa nani o
machigaeta?
tadashisa sae mo
nani mo kamo ga owaru

During the daybreak’s evening, what was mistaken
deep down?
Even that which is right,
everything last thing will end

例え過去へ　小さく胸が
痛んでも
別離を告げる
『後ろの正面　　　　　　？』

tatoe kako e chiisaku mune ga
itandemo
wakare o tsugeru
『ushiro no shoumen           ?』

Even if towards the past, my chest
hurts a little
I’ll say my goodbyes
‘       is it who stands behind me?’

終わりの来ない
終わった世界
届かぬ声は
夜明けを願う

owari no konai
owatta sekai
todokanu koe wa
yoake o negau

An ended world with an
unapproaching ending
My unreaching voice
wishes for a dawn

For some reason, I get the image of Christmas when listening to this. I still have to wonder what it means exactly by “Lets try to transcend the future technology”.

No video again here, but hey, we’ve got some pretty nice lyrics this time around (In my opinion at least)! It was a pretty easy translate too I might say, no ambiguity here.

★ Title: unbAlance
☆ Album: MOTHER NATURE
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: cold kiss (Nana Takahashi (高橋 菜々))
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Lulluby of Deserted Hell (廃獄ララバイ)

すり減ってしまった心の
隙間を埋められるように
美しい世界を欲しがっていたのは
ああ　浅はかだったね

surihette shimatta kokoro no
sukima o umerareru you ni
utsukushii sekai o hoshigatteita no wa
aa asahaka datta ne

Similar to covering up the holes in my heart
that has been worn down so much
To have wished for a beautiful world was
ah, foolish wasn’t it?

滲む光　世界の残酷な色をどうやって
君から隠してあげられるかを考えていた

nijimu hikari sekai no zankoku na iro o dou yatte
kimi kara kakushite agerareru ka o kangaeteita

Light is blotted out – what will we do with these cruel colours of the world
I had thought about if I could possibly hide them away from you

触れる吐息　like ringing in eternity
交わす言葉 like singing in eternity
揺れる心 like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

fureru toiki like ringing in eternity
kawasu kotoba like singing in eternity
yureru kokoro like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

I feel a deep sigh like ringing in eternity
We exchange words like singing in eternity
My heart shakes like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

君の言葉　１つ１つに　凍えていた僕は　もういない
だけどね　寂しいよ

kimi no kotoba hitotsu hitotsu ni kogoeteita boku wa mou inai
dakedo ne samishii yo

I, who had been frozen up by your words one by one, have already left
however I sure feel lonely

好き勝手　壊した言葉で
隙間を埋められるように
懐かしい言葉を欲しがっていたのに
ああ　できなかったね

suki katte kowashita kotoba de
sukima o umerareru you ni
natsukashii kotoba o hoshigatteita noni
aa dekinakatta ne

Similar to covering up the holes with words
that just destroyed as they pleased
Although I had wished for words dear to me,
ah, it couldn’t be done, could it?

歪む雫　世界が優しさだけに包まれて
君だけを信じていられるかを考えていた

yugamu shizuku sekai ga yasashisa dake ni tsutsumarete
kimi dake o shinjiteirareru ka o kangaeteita

A distorted droplet – the world is wrapped in nothing but kindness
I had thought about if I could possibly keep trusting just you

滲む涙 like ringing in eternity
そらす視線 like singing in eternity
消える想い like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

nijimu namida like ringing in eternity
sorasu shisen like singing in eternity
kieru omoi like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

Tears run like ringing in eternity
I avert my gaze like singing in eternity
Feelings fade away like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

君の笑顔　１つ１つに　怯えていた僕は　もういない
だけどね　寂しいよ

kimi no egao hitotsu hitotsu ni obieteita boku wa mou inai
dakedo ne samishii yo

I, who had been frightened by your smiles one by one, have already left
however I sure feel lonely

触れる吐息　like ringing in eternity
交わす言葉 like singing in eternity
揺れる心 like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

fureru toiki like ringing in eternity
kawasu kotoba like singing in eternity
yureru kokoro like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

I feel a deep sigh like ringing in eternity
We exchange words like singing in eternity
My heart shakes like dancing in eternity
I’m losing forever like missing you, eternity

君の言葉　１つ１つを　手放して　君に返すよ
だからね　寂しいよ

kimi no kotoba hitotsu hitotsu o tebanashite kimi ni kaesu yo
dakara ne samishii yo

One by one I let go of your words and return them back to you
for that reason I sure feel lonely

After hours of getting distracted over and over again, I’ve finally finished the titular track of the album. I’m a sucker for “beauty of the world” style lyrics though. Actually, scratch that, I’m a sucker for most kinds of lyrics.

★ Title: MOTHER NATURE
☆ Album: MOTHER NATURE
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: cold kiss (Nana Takahashi (高橋 菜々))
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Broken Moon (砕月)


言葉で　描けない　優しさ　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここに残ってる

kotoba de egakenai yasashisa oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nokotteru

Who were the ones who taught me the kindness that can’t be described with words I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, remaining right here

形に　残せない　勇気を　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここで歌ってる

katachi ni nokosenai yuuki o oshiete kureta no wa darou
mada mada koko de utatteru

Who were the ones who taught me the courage that can’t retain a shape I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, singing right here

太陽　月　光　花　風　霞
木漏れ日　夕立　笑顔　涙
朧月夜　若葉　陽炎　薄氷　蜃気楼

taiyou tsuki hikari hana kaze kasumi
komorebi yuudachi egao namida
oborodzukiyo wakaba kagerou usurai shinkirou

The sun, the moon, light, flowers, wind and mist
rays of light through the trees, evening rain, smiles and tears
misty moonlit nights, young leaves, heat hazes, thin ice and mirages

太陽　月　光　青葉　夕凪
夜空　走馬灯　笑顔　涙
青嵐　万緑　蝉時雨　漣　星の色

taiyou tsuki hikari aoba yuunagi
yozora soumatou egao namida
aoarashi banryoku semishigure sazanami hoshi no iro

The sun, the moon, light, fresh leaves and the calm evening sea
The night sky, revolving lanterns, smiles and tears
wind through nature, myriads of greenery, the cicada’s cries, water ripples, and the colour of the stars

心を　満たせない　涙を　教えてくれたのは　誰だろう
まだ　まだ　ここに眠ってる

kokoro o motasenai namida o oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nemutteru

Who were the ones who taught me about the tears that don’t cause your heart fill up I wonder
They’re still, they’re still sleeping here

太陽　月　光　色の無い風
流れ星　雨月　笑顔　涙
星月夜　落葉　露時雨　黄昏　帰り花

taiyou tsuki hikari iro no nai kaze
nagareboshi ugetsu egao namida
hoshidzukiyo ochiba tsuyu shigure tasogare kaeribana

The sun, the moon, light, and the colourless wind
shooting stars, rainy nights, smiles and tears
starry nights, falling leaves, outbursts of dew, twilight and reblooming flowers

太陽　月　光　吐息　風花
長い夜　泡沫　笑顔　涙
浮寝鳥　水面　雪時雨　水涸る　銀の色

taiyou tsuki hikari toiki kazabana
nagai yo utakata egao namida
ukinedori minamo yuki shigure mizu karu gin no iro

The sun, the moon, light, deep breaths and snow flurries on the wind
long nights, bubbles on water, smiles and tears
birds sleeping while they float, the water’s surface, snow showers, evaporation, and the colour of silver

懐かしさを忘れてく　もう遠い想い出
風の香りに　心の棘を　残すばかり

natsukashisa o wasurete ku mou tooi omoide
kaze no kaori ni kokoro no toge o nokosu bakari

Forgetting about nostalgia, those are already distant memories
I’ll just leave my heart’s thorns on the wind’s scent

全ては巡り　何度も繰り返す
春夏秋冬　夢　笑顔　涙
生きる事の本当の意味を　教えてくれていた

subete wa meguri nando mo kurikaesu
shunkashuutou yume egao namida
ikiru koto no hontou no imi o oshiete kureteita

Everything cycles, over and over it repeats
Spring, summer, fall, winter, dreams, smiles and tears
Everything taught me what it truly means to be alive

MOTHER NATURE 想像を超えた先へ
何度　躓いてもかまわない
１人だけど　でも独りじゃない　心は　そばにいる

MOTHER NATURE souzou o koeta saki e
nando tsumazuitemo kamawanai
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai kokoro wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, beyond my imagination
It doesn’t matter how many times I trip up
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, my heart is with me

MOTHER NATURE 未来を　紡いでいく
全てを包み込む　その愛で
１人だけど　でも独りじゃない　世界はそばにいる

MOTHER NATURE mirai o tsumuide yuku
subete o tsutsumi komu sono ai de
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai sekai wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, weaving the threads of the future
wrapping up everything up with it’s love
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, the world is with me
