yume o miteta kono toki wa itsu mo tsudzukazu
sugite itta kono mune ni samishisa nokoshite
watashi ga ima kono toki o subete tometemo
te ni shitetai kono mama de
I had a dream where this moment never continued It passed leaving behind a feeling of loneliness in my heart Even if I were to completely stop time now there’s something I’ve been wanting to have, as it is
ichiban daiji na mono wa ima mo kowareta mama nano
tometa jikan modoranai jijitsu
ima mo koko de nakushiteiru mama
toki wa ugoki tsudzuke
What’s most important to me still remains broken It’s a fact that I can’t turn back frozen time Even now, here in a state of loss, time continues to move
yume o mita ima kono toki ni nakushita mono o
modoseru no nara ima demo kono te de
tokei no hari o nando mo tomete mita no
toki wa nagareru noni
If I could restore what I lost during this moment I dreamt of I’d do it myself right now Over and over I tried to stop the hands on the clock, however time flows on
yume o mitemo kono toki wa itsumo nokorazu
sugite itta mune no naka samishisa nokoshite
watashi dake ga kono jikan subete tometeta
ugoki dasunu omoi dake watashi ga tometeta
Even while dreaming, time had passed by, never leaving anything behind except loneliness in my heart Only I had completely stopped time All I had stopped was unmovable feelings
消えた物は 変わる事はない
止めた時間 戻らない事実
今も時は 刻み続けてた
止まることを忘れ
kieta mono wa kawaru koto wa nai
tometa jikan modoranai jijitsu
ima mo toki wa kizami tsudzuketeta
tomaru koto o wasure
There’s no change in what’s disappeared It’s a fact that I can’t turn back frozen time Even now time was continuing to tick Forgetting to stop
Requested by Apolo, I’ve been doing a lot of EastNewSound tracks lately. Have you heard “dignity” in the latest album? It’s pretty good.

澄み渡る空に 想い浮かべたら
幻想の中に君を見た
sumi wataru sora ni omoi ukabetara
gensou no naka ni kimi o mita
When I set my feelings on the pure sky, within the phantasm I saw you
夜明けの風が心地よくて
涙 揺れていた
言の葉の雨が巡り巡るよに
yoake no kaze ga kokochi yokute
namida yureteita
koto no ha no ame ga meguri meguru yo ni
With the sunset’s wind being so pleasant my tears had stirred It’s as if a rain of words circulates
Singing! Border of my love 何時かこの距離を
超えてゆく 不可視の幻想へ
Border of my love 怖くなんてない
君がいる 今を抱き締めるよ
Singing! Border of my love itsu ka kono kyori o
koete yuku fukashi no gensou e
Border of my love kowaku nante nai
kimi ga iru ima o daki shimeru yo
Singing! Border of my love, someday I’ll pass over this distance and head towards an invisible fantasy Border of my love, I’m not scared at all I’ll embrace this moment you’re there
東雲ノ空に 響く旋律は
何時までも続く 君の想
shinonome no sora ni hibiku merodi wa
itsu made mo tsudzuku kimi no uta
The melody sounding in the eastern dawn sky continues on and on, it’s your song, your thought
二人並んで見た景色に
色を付け足して
七色の虹を永遠に描いてる
futari narande mita keshiki ni
iro o tsuke tashite
nana iro no niji o towa ni egaiteru
Standing side by side and adding colour to the scenery we saw, we’ll be drawing a rainbow for eternity
Singing! Border of my love 想いを馳せてた
星の下 二人が出逢う頃
Border of my love 信じ続けてる
君がいたユメに
Border of my love
Singing! Border of my love omoi o haseteta
hoshi no shita futari ga deau koro
Border of my love shinji tsudzuketeru
kimi ga ita yume ni
Border of my love
Singing! Border of my love, before we met under the stars I sent my heart out Border of my love, I’ll keep my faith in the dream where you were Border of my love
Ah, my first year at university has officially come to an end, and what better way to come back than with a Yumemi arrange? She has quickly become one of my favourite characters. Her and I share a lot of the same aspirations, after all, which are perhaps my main drive as I major in physics.
I have to apologize for lack of translations lately, but a lot has been going on. I’ll definitely be trying to pick up the pace from now on though, starting with this one that I left half-done for months due to its difficulty.
Notes: This is perhaps the most liberal translation I’ve ever done. There is no other way to approach these lyrics unless you want the result to sound like garbage (nothing but noun phrases). Under normal circumstances, I’d slap myself for going so far, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

虚ろな幻想 響いた詩
滲む涙 翳る陽光
消えた魔法 おもいの行方
渇いた 沙 を運ぶ
utsuro na yume hibiita uta
nijimu namida kageru hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita suna o hakobu
It was an empty dream, a poem that resonated Tears run down, the sunlight dims Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings carrying parched sand
君の声も 僕の声も 歪んだまま 超える時空
君の傍に 君の幻に
kimi no koe mo boku no koe mo yuganda mama koeru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni
Your voice, my voice, remaining twisted, overcome space-time by your side, heading to your dream
独り 笑う 孤独の刃 奪う 自由 擦り切れた 咎の雨
足下で 蠢く 声が 囁いて 離れないままで
hitori warau kodoku no yaiba ubau jiyuu suri kireta toga no ame
ashimoto de ugomeku koe ga sasayaite hanarenai mama de
Alone, I laugh, with my blade of solitude, stealing freedom, the worn out rain of treason The voice squirming at my feet whispers, remaining close by
綻んだ 夜に踊っていたいだけ
軌跡の向こう 希望の光
hokoronda yoru ni odotteitai dake
kiseki no mukou kibou no hikari
I just want to keep dancing in the exposed night Beyond our trajectory lies the light of hope
utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru
Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy The closure of my promise I am, I am, looking, at our dream
歪な心の 欠片の先に 君の涙 僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃 縛られた因果 戯れの刃 魔法のような
ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na
Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic
utsukushii uso ni oboreteru itami sae wasureta mama de
tsuioku no kanata no yume mahou o motometeru
habataite wa ochite wa kiete nozonde wa yugande ku yume
souzou no hate ni
nani o nani o kimi wa miteru
Drowning in a beautiful lie, having forgotten even pain it’s a hazy dream beyond my recollection: seeking magic power Disappearing upon falling upon flying, desiring presents a twisting fantasy In the opus of creation at what, at what, are you, looking?
歪な心の 欠片の先に 君の涙 僕の涙の意味
溶けない刃 縛られた因果 戯れの刃 魔法のような
ibitsu na kokoro no kakera no saki ni kimi no namida boku no namida no imi
tokenai yaiba shibarareta inga tawamure no yaiba mahou no you na
Past the fragments of our twisted hearts, the meaning of both of our tears This unmelting blade is tied to cause and effect, an ingenuine blade resembling magic
世界の幻想 世界の詩
望む色に 沈む夕陽
消えた魔法 想いの行方
渇いた 声 で歌う
sekai no yume sekai no uta
nozomu iro ni shizumu hikari
kieta chikara omoi no saki
kawaita uta de utau
Fantasy of the world, poetry of the world The sun sets into the colour I desire Magic that disappeared, at the end of my feelings I sing with a parched voice
君の世界 僕の世界 歪んだまま 消える時空
君の傍に 君の幻に
kimi no sekai boku no sekai yuganda mama kieru sekai
kimi no soba ni kimi no yume ni
Your world, my world, remaining twisted, disappear in space-time by your side, to your dream
utsukushii uso ni obieteru kirameita sekai no hate
terashi dasu atarashii yume chikara o motometeru
kagayaiteita hikari no saki ni ukande wa yugande ku yume
yakusoku no owari
yume o yume o boku wa miteru
Scared of a beautiful lie, at the end of a world that gleamed a new dream shines brightly: seeking magic power Floating at the end of the light that shined is a twisting fantasy The closure of my promise I am, I am, looking, at our dream

This song is pretty great, and the lyrics: short and sweet. I should really listen to more CROW’SCLAW. I’ve always enjoyed their remixes of Zytokine songs too.

この暗闇の中でたった一人きり
孤独の中で
この夜はいつまでも どこまでも続いてる
果てしなくずっと
kono kurayami no naka de tatta hitori kiri
kodoku no naka de
kono yoru wa itsu made mo doko made mo tsudzuiteru
hate shinaku zutto
All by myself, alone in this darkness surrounded by solitude This night will forever, on and on, continue without end, always
今時計の針さえずっと静寂に息を潜める
夢が覚める時まで大切なこの想い
胸に秘め
ima tokei no hari sae zutto seijaku ni iki o hisomeru
yume ga sameru toki made taisetsu na kono omoi
mune ni hime
Even the clock’s needle now always conceals its sound in silence Until I wake up from this dream, I’ll keep these precious feelings of mine hidden in my heart
僕の声が聴こえるなら
二人で繋ごう 想いを
boku no koe ga kikoeru nara
futari de tsunagou omoi o
If you can possibly hear my voice let us both string together our feelings
この世界が終わる日まで
歌おう 言葉を紡いで
kono sekai ga owaru hi made
utaou kotoba o tsumuide
Until the moment when the world comes to an end let us sing, weaving words
