Day dreamers

Requested by Alice, the lyrics don’t exactly suggest the characters whose themes this song is based off, if you ask me. I don’t know if there was a message somewhere (perhaps a tweet?) by the one of the artists explicitly saying who it’s about, or if the lyrics are completely generalized (not Touhou related), but, for the time being, Renko x Merry is a good assumption to make.

月を巡る星の数だけ
ワタシは夢を見る
二人は出会うまでの全てを捨てて
どこまでいけるの?

tsuki o meguru hoshi no kazu dake
watashi wa yume o miru
futari wa de au made no subete o sutete
doko made ikeru no?

For each star revolving around the moon
I have a dream
Throwing away everything until we meet,
how far can we go?

花びら舞い散る桜の下で
夜闇を照らした夢物語
いまから始めよう もう一度だけ
見果てぬ あの星掴むまで

hanabira mai chiru sakura no shita de
yo yami o terashita yume monogatari
ima kara hajimeyou mou ichido dake
mi hatenu ano hoshi tsukamu made

Under the cherry blossom tree with petals dancing down
is a story of a dream that lit up the dark night
Let’s begin, starting now, just one more time
until we catch the furthest stars

この瞳が宿す幻想に導かれ
きっと何度でも何度でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kono me ga yadosu yume ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the fantasies and dreams housed in my eyes
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

星を探して さぁ夜の街へ
今日も 運命の徒に身を委ね
私たちだけの夢を現に変える

hoshi o sagashite saa yoru no machi e
kyou mo unmei no itazura ni mi o yudane
watashitachi dake no yume o utsutsu ni kaeru

Searching for the stars, let’s go, into the night city
Today too, we’ll leave ourselves to the whims of destiny
and change our dreams alone into reality

深く暗い闇の其処から
あなたが呼ぶ声が
いまでも思い出せず胸を引き裂く
あなたはだれなの?

fukaku kurai yami no soko kara
anata ga yobu koe ga
ima demo omoi dasezu mune o hiki saku
anata wa dare nano?

From the depths of a deep darkness,
your calling voice,
unable to be recalled even now, rips out my heart
Just who are you?

心を渦巻く二つの色が
ワタシの最後の夢物語
今から始めよう もう一度だけ
二人の想い出残す為

kokoro o uzu maku futatsu no iro ga
watashi no saigo no yume monogatari
ima kara hajimeyou mou ichido dake
futari no omoide nokosu tame

The two colours sweeping our hearts
make up the end of my dream story
Let’s begin, starting now, just one more time
for the sake of leaving memories of us together

この瞳を奪う現実に導かれ
きっと何でも何でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kono me o ubau yume ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the reality and dreams stealing away my eyes
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

星の流れる この夜の街に
今日も運命の徒が微笑んで
私たちだけの幻想が現実に変わる

hoshi no nagareru kono yoru no machi ni
kyou mo unmei no itazura ga hohoende
watashitachi dake no yume ga utsutsu ni kawaru

In the night city, with the stars shooting,
today too, with the whims of destiny smiling,
our dreams and fantasies alone are going to transform into reality

ふと耳を澄ませば
嗚呼、懐かしいあの声
世界の全てを暴く声
また出会えると信じて
溢れた涙

futo mimi o sumaseba
aa, natsukashii ano koe
sekai no subete o abaku koe
mata de aeru to shinjite
afureta namida

If you happen to clear your ears
ah, you’ll hear that nostalgic voice
The voice revealing everything about the world
Believing that we’ll be able to meet again
the tears flooded out

心に残る記憶に導かれ
きっと何でも何でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kokoro ni nokoru kioku ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the memories remaining in my heart,
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

君を探して また夜の街へ
今日は運命の徒を乗り越えて
私たちだけの明日を未来に変える

kimi o sagashite mata yoru no machi e
kyou wa unmei no itazura o nori koete
watashitachi dake no yume o utsutsu ni kaeru

Searching for you, to the night city again,
today we’ll overcome the whims of destiny
and turn our dreams of tomorrow alone into the reality of the future

ラジエスセシア | Radiesthesia

Requested by zenys, radiesthesia means dowsing (as in, dowsing rod, I imagine), a word that you’ll probably never hear ever again in your life. The lyrics to this song was tough (as in, I didn’t know many of the words), but it turned out great. These are some nice lyrics.

糸を束ねて手繰るその手は凍りつき
薄く交わされた言葉はただ流され
朽ちてゆく希望を抱え 一歩一歩
暗く押し寄せる迷い隠し この道を

ito o tabanete taguru sono te wa koori tsuki
usuku kawasareta kotoba wa tada nagasare
kuchite yuku kibou o kakae ippo ippo
kuraku oshi yoseru mayoi kakushi kono michi o

Your hand, bundling thread and puling it in, freezes
The words that were lightly exchanged are just swept away
Bearing a decaying hope, I go step by step
hiding the obscuring doubt closing in over this road

また繰り返し 明日が来るのだろう
掠れた想い

mata kuri kaeshi ashita ga kuru no darou
kasureta omoi

Repeating all over again, tomorrow will come won’t it?
My feelings are blurred

雨に晒されてもがく 丘を越えてはるかな旅路へ
長く長くゆらり先は霞みゆく
風に揺れる首飾り 心映す鏡のラジエスセシア
歩みは止めず 夢を

ame ni sarasarete mogaku oka o koete haruka na tabiji e
nagaku nagaku yurari saki wa kasumi yuku
kaze ni yureru kubi kazari kokoro utsusu kagami no rajiesuseshia
ayumi wa tomezu yume o

I struggle exposed to the rain, going on a journey far over the hills
For miles and miles, beyond is a swaying mist
My necklace shakes in the wind, a radiesthesia mirroring my heart
Keeping on walking, I dream

募る焦りは隠せずまだ絡みつく
固く閉ざされた扉は嘲けのよう
振り返り照らしてみても道はなく
綱を這わせては鍵を探す 彼方まで

tsunoru aseri wa kakusezu mada karami tsuku
kataku tozasareta tobira wa azake no you
furi kaeri terashite mitemo michi wa naku
an o iwasete wa kagi o sagasu kanata made

Unable to hide it, the growing impatience still constricts me
The firmly closed door appears to mock me
Even if I look back and try to illuminate a path, there isn’t one
Causing the rope to crawl, I’ll search for the key as far as the horizon

渇いた胸に からりからりと脆く
崩れた世界 沈む
震える指は わずかな望みさえも
見つけられない

kawaita mune ni karari karari to moroku
kuzureta sekai shizumu
furueru yubi wa wazuka na nozomi sae mo
mitsukerarenai

In my parched heart, clattering clattering fragilely,
my ruined world sinks
Not even the slightest of hope can these
trembling fingers of mine find

果てに残された一人 膝をついて叫びは虚空へ
代わる代わる はらり涙零れゆく
褪せて曇る首飾り 嘆き響く無常のラジエスセシア
どうかこの背に 羽を

hate ni nokosareta hitori hiza o tsuite sakebi wa kokyuu e
kawaru kawaru harari namida kobore yuku
asete kumoru kubi kazari nageki hibiku mujou no rajiesuseshia
douka kono se ni hane o

Left behind alone at the end, on my knees I scream in vain to the sky
One after another, the tears gently fall
Losing colour, my necklace grows cloudy, an ever-changing radiesthesia echoing grief
Please grant me wings

ああ 探し求めど 影も形も見えず
この身には大きすぎたのか

aa sagashi motomedo kage mo katachi mo miezu
kono mi ni wa ooki sugita no ka

Ah, though I search and seek, I can’t see a shape or shadow
Was this too much for this body to bear?

枷にはめられた未来 砂をかぶる祈りは痛みへ
淡く淡く ひらり花は散ってゆく
陰り落ちる首飾り 終わり告げる寡黙のラジエスセシア
光を願う 空へ

kase ni hamerareta mirai suna o kaburu inori wa itami e
awaku awaku hirari hana wa chitte yuku
kageri ochiru kubi kazari owari tsugeru kamoku no rajiesuseshia
hikari o negau sora e

The future was then shackled, prayers covered in sand head towards the pain
Faintly, faintly, the flower flutters as it scatters
Darkening, my necklace falls, a silent radiesthesia spelling the end
I beg toward the sky for light

望んだ記憶は灰になり
風に 消えて
どこまでも見透かされていたような気がしてた

nozonda kioku wa hai ni nari
kaze ni kiete
doko made mo mi kasukasareteita you na ki ga shiteta

Memories that I desired turn to ash
and vanish in the wind
No matter where they go, I’ve been getting the feeling they’ve been looked right past

閉じたままの瞳では
(本当の色はわからない)
閉じたままの心では わからない

tojita mama no hitomi de wa
(honto no iro wa wakaranai)
tojita mama no kokoro de wa wakaranai

With my eyes remaining closed
(True colour isn’t clear to me)
With my heart remaining closed it’s just not clear

心に 落ちて 色付いた
空に消えた 影法師
あの日から また形を変えて
揺らぐ 気持ちのよう

kokoro ni ochite iro dzuita
sora ni kieta kageboushi
ano hi kara mata katachi o kaete
yuragu kimochi no you

It fell down to my heart and changed colours
A silhouette that faded into the sky
Ever since that day, it changes still
and sways like feelings do

言葉にできない想いを
黄金色の風に乗せ
誰かの心まで届くなら
響いてくれるなら…

kotoba ni dekinai omoi o
kogane iro nno kaze ni nose
dare ka no kokoro made todoku nara
hibiite kureru nara…

These feelings that I can’t put into words
I set loose on the golden wind
If it would just reach to someone’s heart
If it would echo for me…

あの日の記憶は灰になり
風に 溶けて
何もかも与えられていたような気がしてた

ano hi no kioku wa hai ni nari
kaze ni tokete
nani mo kamo ataerareteita you na ki ga shiteta

Memories from that day turn to ash
and are scrambled in the wind
I’ve been getting the feeling that they could’ve gave anything and everything

閉じたままのこの手では
(本当の色はつかめない)
閉じたままの心では つかめない

tojita mama no kono te de wa
(honto no iro wa tsukamenai)
tojita mama no kokoro de wa tsukamenai

With my hands remaining closed
(I can’t grasp true colour)
With my heart remaining closed I just can’t seize it

心に 触れて 焼き付いた
歪んだ あの影法師
窓辺から 空を仰いだまま
落ちた 孤独のよう

kokoro ni furete yaki tsuita
yuganda ano kageboushi
madebe kara sora o aoida mama
ochita kodoku no you

It touched my heart and seared into it
that crooked silhouette
As I looked by the window up at the sky
I fell, as if in solitude

この手で 隠した心は
黄金色の風に乗り
誰かの心まで届くから
響いてくれるから…

kono te de kakushita kokoro wa
kogane iro no kaze ni nori
dare ka no kokoro made todoku kara
hibiite kureru kara…

The heart I hid with my own hands
rides upon the golden winds
because it’ll reach to someone’s heart
because it’ll echo for me…

見えなかったはずの 心
今 はっきりと見える 心
君と僕を繋ぐ 心の色さえ

mienakatta hazu no kokoro
ima hakkiri to mieru kokoro
kimi to boku o tsunagu kokoro no iro sae

I shouldn’t have been able to see that heart
but now I can clearly see that heart
Even the colours of our hearts tie us together

心に 落ちて 色付いた
空に消えた 影法師
あの日から また形を変えて
揺らぐ 気持ちのよう

kokoro ni ochite iro dzuita
sora ni kieta kageboushi
ano hi kara mata katachi o kaete
yuragu kimochi no you

It fell down to my heart and changed colours
A silhouette that faded into the sky
Ever since that day, it changes still
and sways like feelings do

言葉にできない想いを
黄金色の風に乗せ
誰かの心まで届くなら
響いてくれるなら…

kotoba ni dekinai omoi o
kogane iro nno kaze ni nose
dare ka no kokoro made todoku nara
hibiite kureru nara…

These feelings that I can’t put into words
I set loose on the golden wind
If it would just reach to someone’s heart
if it would echo for me…

I can’t help but feel bad about just directly taking English lyrics from the Touhou Wiki like this though, so more props to Tegamin for everything as usual!

Life is a dream
Love is a dream
It has told me all the thing must pass

I’m gonna dream
You’re gonna dream
We will repeat over time and time again

Kissing a dream
Missing a dream
I shed a tear in the twilight dark

Beautiful dream
Direful dream
It’s like a kaleidocope, I’m within it

Never ask me the why
I cannot see at all
Where is my paradise?
Is it in my insanity?
I lose my awareness

I dream in a doze sweetly
Now everything just melts in my mind
No border of real, some fictional thing
Round about, coming and going away
I wake in a doze thickly
So everything is a fantasy
Hazy, it’s amazing that I dream in a dream

Never ask me the why
I cannot see at all
Where is my paradise?
Is it in my insanity?
I lose my awareness
I dream in a doze sweetly
Now everything just melts in my mind
No border of real, some fictional thing
Round about, coming and going away
I wake in a doze thickly
So everything is a fantasy
Hazy, it’s amazing that I dream in a dream
Glazy, It’s amazing that I dream in a dream
