DEATHANDREBIRTH

It’s important to note that this is an arrange of the Ten Desires stage 3 theme, Yoshika’s stage, so you should really read this from her perspective.

This is definitely the hardest song from this album though, I can already tell. I’ll admit right now, my weakest point in Japanese grammar would probably have to be the te verb + は thing, and they’ve really filled this song full of that kind of thing.

きっと夢で忘れたように 夢も忘れて心に触れた
言葉の意味 はき違えては また忘れては どこ行こうか
きっと影がそうしたように 夢もそうして心壊れた
こだわる意味 行き違う日々 また忘れてた これでさようなら

kitto yume de wasureta you ni yume mo wasurete kokoro ni fureta
kotoba no imi haki chigaete wa mata wasurete wa doko ikou ka
kitto kage ga sou shita you ni yume mo shite kokoro kowareta
kodawaru imi iki chigau hibi mata wasureteta kore de sayounara

I’m sure, forgetting dreams just as I forgot as I dreamt, my heart was touched
Since I’m mixing up and again forgetting the meanings of words, where shall we go?
I’m sure, with the dream doing just as the shadows did, my heart broke
Fixated on meanings, the days pass each other, I’ve forgotten again, with this it’s goodbye

でも まだ そばにいる 気がしては 枯れていく
この想いは勘違い?
閉じる世界 望んでたのは 罪の色 終わる命

demo mada soba ni iru ki ga shite wa karete yuku
kono omoi wa kanchigai?
tojiru sekai nozondeta no wa tsumi no iro owaru inochi

Though I’m still by your side, I feel I’m withering away
Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this closing world, what I’ve wished for is, a sinful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you 誰かのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you 生きたかったのに
どうして どうして 涙が 止まらなかったの
I’m here for you 生きていたのかさえ
I’m still waiting for you 忘れて願う
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you dare ka no tame dake ni
I’m still waiting for you ikitakatta noni
doushite doushite namida ga tomaranakatta no
I’m here for you ikiteita no ka sae
I’m still waiting for you wasurete negau
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you, just for someone’s sake
I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to live
why didn’t, why didn’t, the tears ever stop?
I’m here for you, whether I was even alive
I’m still waiting for you, I forget and wish
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

もっと愛を と求めすぎて また傷つけて途方にくれた
笑顔の嘘 はき違えても 信じたふりを続けようか
ぎゅっと握ったナイフの色を 瞳に焼き付けて どこに行くの
ころがる嘘 物言わぬ花 また会いましょう これでさようなら

motto ai o to motome sugite mata kizutsukete tohou ni kureta
egao no uso haki chigaetemo shinjita furi o tsudzukeyou ka
gyutto nigitta naifu no iro o me ni yaki tsukete doko ni iku no
korogaru uso mono iwanu hana mata aimashou kore de sayounara

“Give me more love” I overwished, once again giving pain, I was at a loss
Even if I mistake the lies from that smile, shall we continue pretending I believed you?
Burning the colour of the knife firmly grasped in my hands into my eyes, where will it go?
Lies are scattered about, the flowers won’t say a word, may we meet again, with this it’s goodbye

でも まだ 生きている 気がしては 死んでいく
この想いは勘違い?
堕ちる世界 望んでたのは 嘘の色 終わる命

demo mada ikiteiru ki ga shite wa shinde yuku
kono omoi wa kanchigai?
ochiru sekai nozondeta no wa uso no iro owaru inochi

Though I’m still alive, I feel like I’m dying
Am I mistaken with these feelings?
In this falling world, what I’ve wished for is, a deceitful colour, a life that ends

I’m here for you あなたのためだけに
I’m still waiting for you 死にたかったのに
どうして どうして 心が 壊れなかったの
I’m here for you 正しさの意味さえ
I’m still waiting for you 忘れて笑う
DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you anata no tame dake ni

DEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTHDEATHANDREBIRTH

I’m here for you, for your sake alone
I’m still waiting for you, though I wanted to die
Why didn’t, why didn’t, my heart become broken?
I’m here for you, even the meaning of what’s right
I’m still waiting for you, I forget and laugh

I’m here for you, though I have life
I’m still waiting for you, I’m not alive anymore

Equality

Really good lyrics this time around. This song somewhat reminds me of the Spicy and Wolf opening, Tabi no Tochuu, but much more lonesome.

何もかも嫌で逃げてきたのに
あの日の両手に余るほどの lie
一人きりでも 歩いてみせる
自分の羽で 羽ばたいてみせる

nani mo kamo iya de nigete kita noni
ano hi no ryoute ni amaru hodo no lie
hitori kiri demo aruite miseru
jibun no hane de habataite miseru

Despite running this far because I detested everything
the lie from that day has become too much to bear with these hands
Even though I’m all alone, I’ll show you that I’ll walk on
With my own wings, I’ll show you that I’ll flap them

声にならない声 何度も上げて
風の中 探して 泣いて
本当はどこかで わかっていても
あるはずのないもの それは…

koe ni naranai koe nando mo agete
kaze no naka sagashite naite
hontou wa doko ka de wakatteitemo
aru hazu no nai mono sore wa…

Over and over, I’ll raise this soundless voice
and I’ll search and I’ll cry in the wind
Even though somewhere inside I understand the truth
it’s something that I know should not be…

何もかも捨てて生きてきたのに
今では両手に余るほどの i (アイ)
一人だけでも 歩いていける
自分の羽で 羽ばたいていける

nani mo kamo sutete ikite kita noni
ima de wa ryoute ni amaru hodo no ai
hitori dake demo aruite ikeru
jibun no hane de habataite ikeru

Despite throwing everything away and living this long
nowadays I’ve become too much to bear with these hands
Even though I’m just by myself, I’m able to walk on
With my own wings, I’m able to flap them

声にならない声 どこかで聴いた
風の中 迷って 泣いて
心の片隅に 残った願い
あるはずのないもの それは…

koe ni naranai koe doko ka de kiita
kaze no naka mayotte naite
kokoro no katasumi ni nokotta negai
aru hazu no nai mono sore wa…

From somewhere I listened to a soundless voice
I became lost and I cried in the wind
A wish remained in the depths of my heart
it was something that I knew should not be…

it was gone with the wind…

声にならない声 何度も上げて
風の中 探して 泣いて
本当はどこかで わかっていても
あるはずのないもの それは…

koe ni naranai koe nando mo agete
kaze no naka sagashite naite

Over and over, I’ll raise this soundless voice
and I’ll search and I’ll cry in the wind
Even though somewhere inside I understand the truth

Stranger in the dusk

Big thanks to Tegamin for the Mother Nature scans, I’ve been searching every day for these. Of course, this had to be the first song I worked on. Next one might be DEATHANDREBIRTH or BOUNCE OF LIFE, I’m not really all too sure yet.

Notes: The words in (brackets) aren’t included in the booklet, and I had an especially tough time deciphering what certain words could be in the 4th stanza down there, if anyone has other suggestions.

現実から 現実への
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
心地の良い 未来の歌
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

genjitsu kara genjitsu e no
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
kokochi no yoi mirai no uta
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

From reality, towards reality
(Lets get together in the mirror, in the mirror)
A pleasant song of the future
(Lets sing together in the mirror, in the mirror)

手のひらに 落ちた 希望 夢 祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira ni ochita kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dropped into the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

会いたいから 会えないから
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
星はいない 輝かない
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

aitai kara aenai kara
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
hoshi wa inai kagayakanai
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

Because I want to see you, because I can’t see you
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)
The stars are all gone, they no longer shine
(Lets jump forever in the fever in the mirror)

手のひらで 踊る 希望 夢 祈りの数だけ
涙を流してくれた人もいたね

te no hira de odoru kibou yume inori no kazu dake
namida o nagashite kureta hito mo ita ne

With every prayer, dream and wish dancing in the palm of my hand
there was also a person to give me their tears, wasn’t there?

We all are crying together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are crying together like stranger in the white
We all are crying together like stranger in the black
We all are crying together like stranger in the dusk

We all are painting it together and we’ll be torn apart again
We all are painting it together like stranger in the red
We all are painting it together like stranger in the blue
We all are painting it together like stranger in the dusk

omoide no kakera

I’ve been having a lot of trouble coming up with comments on songs lately, haven’t I? I don’t really have too much to say on this one either, except that it may be my least favourite track from the album. Oh yeah, the title means “Fragments of Memories” by the way. 思い出のかけら。

また新しい春が来て
でも 風 まだ 冷たくて

mata atarashii haru ga kite
demo kaze mada tsumetakute

Again, another new spring comes
but still the wind remains freezing

広がる未来
君と僕で 紡いでく 想い出

hirogaru mirai
kimi to boku de tsumuide ku omoide

The future expands
Together, you and me, we’ll weave memories

手をつないで 明日へ祈ったら
この世界の かけらを集めていこう
君となら 歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days

まだ咲かない花だけを
まだやまない雨だけを

mada sakanai hana dake o
mada yamanai ame dake o

It’s just the flower that still hasn’t bloomed
It’s just the rain that still hasn’t stopped

集めていたい
新しい時代の始まる 瞬間を

atsumeteitai
atarashii jidai no hajimaru shunkan o

that I want to gather up
during the moment this new era begins

手をつないで 未来へ願ったら
新しい かけらが降り注ぐ
夜空さえ 照らしていけるはずさ
前を向いて あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide mirai e negattara
atarashii kakera ga furi sosogu
yozora sae terashite ikeru hazu sa
mae o muite ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and wish towards the future
brand new fragments will downpour and rain
Even the night sky should be easy to light up
We’ll look forward and say goodbye to those old days

希望なんて無くても
僕らはまだ生きてる

kibou nante nakutemo
bokura wa mada ikiteru

Even if we lose things like our hope
you and I both will still live on

あの笑顔 もう一度

ano egao mou ichido

Show me that smile, just one more time

手をつないで 明日へ祈ったら
この世界の かけらを集めていこう
君となら 歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days
