uhm..i’m finally back after a week of laziness ^^
All that is missing from hack/SLASH are now 夜空に沈む, Hack&Slash, structure and FF. I’ll say this again, i do not have lyrics for qualia but as soon as i find them, i’ll translate it.

*存在意義: also “meaning of life” =” raison d’être
*人の在りようくらい自分で決めていいだろ: ~”rather than having some role models decide for me, i want to decide for myself”
*後出し : actually  後出 is “koushutsu”, but somehow 後出し is read as “atodashi”

---

人の在りようくらい自分で決めていいだろ
他人のジョークを本気にするだけ無駄だぜ
hito no ari you kurai jibun de kimete ii daro
tanin no jooku wo honki ni suru dake muda da ze

rather than people’s role models i want to decide for myself
just taking other’s jokes seriously is pointless after all

君の哲学のSlashbeat 刻むように叫べ
大体あってればいいのさ
kimi no tetsugaku no Slashbeat kizamu you ni sakebe
daitai attereba ii no sa

come on and scream to set your philososphy’s slashbeat
it’d be nice if it happened at all

言葉だけで救われるとか
僕は信じる気がしないから
kotoba dake de sukuwareru toka
boku wa shinjiru ki ga shinai kara

and i can be saved through words alone
because i have no interest in believing

高速のFeeling くだらないStoryLine
台無しにしたらマシになるかもね
完全なTricky 思い出し笑いさ
楽しくないことをする気はない
kousoku no Feeling kudaranai StoryLine
dainashi ni shitara mashi ni naru kamo ne
kanzen na Tricky omoidashi warai sa
tanoshikunai koto wo suru ki wa nai

this fleeting feeling and the crappy story line
it might be better if i just mess it all up
completely tricky, i remember the laughter
i don’t feel like doing something boring

無駄なことってのは 生命の冗長性さ
不必要でも安易に切り捨ててはいけない
なんて言い訳を真に受けるんじゃないぜ
半分は本当なんだけど
muda na koto tte no wa seimei no jouchousei sa
fuhitsuyou demo an’i ni kirisutete wa ikenai
nante iiwake wo maniukerun ja nai ze
hanbun wa hontou nanda kedo

useless things are life’s redundancy
it’s unnecessary but i can’t throw away my carelessness
and i can’t take your excuses seriously anymore
because only half of them are true

適当な事を言ってるだけで
気が晴れるもんさ
tekitou na koto wo itteru dake de
ki ga hareru mon sa

only saying reasonable things
is what makes me liven up

真剣なDistance 無意味なpapercut
安心させるようじゃまだ駄目だね
完璧なTricky どうでもいいね
存在意義にも色々あるのさ
shinken na Distance muimi na papercut
anshin saseru you ja mada dame da ne
kanpeki na Tricky dou demo ii ne
sonzai igi ni mo iroiro aru no sa

the serious distance, a meaningless papercut
it’s way too early to rest at ease just yet
absolutely tricky, but i don’t give a damn
my raison d’être is versatile after all

信用がないくらいは別にいい
大切な事を忘れないように
shinyou ga nai kurai wa betsu ni ii
taisetsu na koto wo wasurenai you ni

i don’t have much trust in you, but whatever
i cannot lose sight of what’s important to me

逆説のreliance 反証のreliable
重ね合わせている猫のように
完全なTricky 後出しでもいいさ
意味なんて分からなくてもいい
最初から目的すらないから
gyakusetsu no reliance hanshou no reliable
kasaneawasete iru neko no you ni
kanzen na Tricky atodashi demo ii sa
imi nante wakaranakute mo ii
saisho kara mokuteki suranai kara

paradox reliance, counter-evidence reliable
it is blending in just like a cat
completely tricky, a late explanation but that’s okay
it’s fine even if you don’t understand its meaning
because it didn’t have a purpose from the beginning

Title: インディゴ (indigo)

Arrange: 岸田 (Kishida) , ichigo
Vocal: ichigo
Album: hack/SLASH
Original Arrangement

indigo is a purplish-blue colour, for those who don’t know. couldn’t decide whether to choose a picture that fits with the title or the lyrics. The translation isn’t too literal this time, maybe a bit sloppy. sorry about that.

*満たない月: literally “the not waxing moon”
* 道連れ: i don’t think “companion” is literally meant here
*月見ルように想えたなら: i totally have no clue if i got this right
*君なんかって離れる理由を探すのに: lack of pronouns, so it could be either ” a reason for you to leave me” or “a reason to leave you/ to break up”

---

いのちの密度を測るように愛してた
寄り添えない角度で傷つくのに
水面に揺られて沈む満たない月が
ふたりを照らして
inochi no mitsudo wo hakaru you ni aishiteta
yorisoenai kakudo de kizutsuku no ni
minamo ni yurarete shizumu mitanai tsuki ga
futari wo terashite

i loved you enough to measure the weight of life
though i did not cling to my position, i got hurt
swaying on the water surface and sinking, the waning moon
shines on the both of us

遠くの星空届かない距離にまで
美しくもない饗に酔って道連れ
水面に揺られて沈む満たない月に
片思いしてよぼくのせいにして
tooku no hoshizora todokanai kyori ni made
utsukushiku mo nai kyou ni yotte michidzure
minamo ni yurarete shizumu mitanai tsuki ni
kataomoi shite yo boku no sei ni shite

not reaching far into the distance of this starry sky
a companion that intoxicates me on this distasteful banquet
swaying on the water surface and sinking, to the waning moon
my unrequited love, i am to blame

間違いばかり選びつづけている
泣きたい夜に
machigai bakari erabi tsudzukete iru
nakitai yoru ni

i only keep chosing what mistakes to make
at night when i want to cry

月見ルように想えたなら
答えなんていらないって言えたはずさ
手を離して落ちる夢は
君の指に染みついた切なく深い青
tsukimiru you ni omoetanara
kotae nante iranai tte ieta hazu sa
te wo hanashite ochiru yume wa
kimi no yubi ni shimitsuita setsunaku fukai ao

if only i could remember so that i can look at the moon
i should have just said i don’t need an answer
after letting go of your hand, the dream i fall into
ingrained into your finger,a deep, painful indigo

壊れたばかりの欠片で手を切る
眺めるばかりできっと痕になる
kowareta bakari no kakera de te wo kiru
nagameru bakari de kitto ato ni naru

the broken pieces only cut my fingers
just by looking at them, they’ll surely leave scars

君なんかって離れる理由を探すのに
また近づいていく、どうしたらいい？
kimi nanka tte hanareru riyuu wo sagasu no ni
mata chikadzuite iku, doushitara ii?

i’m searching for a reason for you to leave me and yet
we’re becoming closer again, what should i do?

月見ルように想えたなら
今も其処に居ただろうかって笑って
手を伸ばして落ちる夢は
君の指に染み付いた儚く深い青
tsukimiru you ni omoetanara
ima mo sono tokoro ni itadarou ka tte waratte
te wo nobashite ochiru yume wa
kimi no yubi ni shimitsuita hakanaku fukai ao

if i remembered it like watching the moon
why have i been at that place until now, i laugh
after letting go of your hand, the dream i fall into
ingrained into your finger, a deep, endless indigo

Requested by Eiki.
I didn’t know this song before, but so far i really like it! although i am not sure whether i understand its meaning…
Please note that the stanzas connect to each other.

*その名前を呼んでくれよ: actually “scream out that name (for me)”. Doesn’t sound good in my opinion.
*輝いてた気がしてた: “it had been shining” -> i don’t know what “it” refers to in this case, maybe some undefined object sparkling in the dark?
* 気づけば: “if you noticed”-> i think it refers to the shining (see above)
*地べた這いつくばって: also “i crawl on my knees”, “i sink to the ground”
*日は暮れてしまう: means that the day will soon be over, so it’s too late for the speaker to start again
*過去に置いていくよ: “leave it in the past”

I simply love this song, it’s very calming and the lyrics are beautiful.

*ふざけた: this could also mean “play” (ふざける), but somehow i’m never content with that word. not sure about the connotation here.
*全て壊れればいい: also “it’s alright to break everything”
*奈落の底へ: is “abyss”, but 奈落 also means “hell”
*とこの上ない: also “supreme”, “ultimate”

答えの見えてる
複雑怪奇な
ふざけた迷路も
つまらないことこの上ないわ
kotae no mieteru
fukuzatsu kaikina

i can finally see the answer
complex and mysterious
even fooling around in a maze
all trivial things are unrivaled

先の見えない

刺激とスリルを

i can’t see what lies ahead
it’s like a tightrope walk
let me feel once more
the stimulus and thrill of it

such things like formless words
it’s better to break all of them
they are dancing on top of my palm
a waltz of destruction

一度失った
この身と御霊が
崩れ落ちる前に
優しい詩をあなたに
ichido ushinatta

i’ve lost them once
my body and soul but
before they crumble away
i’ll sing you this gentle song

時は止まらず
過ぎて
掲げた旗
全て燃やせ
深き奈落の底へ
toki wa tomarazu
sugite
kakageta hata
subete moyase
fukaki naraku no soko he

without ever stopping
time passes
i hoist my flag and
set everything aflame
into the depths of the abyss 

ガラスのような心など

願いは叶うのだろうさ
絶望の淵と引き換えに
garasu no you na kokoro nado
akuma ni wataseba ii
negai wa kanau no darou sa
zetsubou no fuchi to hikikae ni

such a thing like a crystalline heart
i’d rather hand it over to the devil
i wonder if my wishes would be granted
in exchange for a chasm of despair

形のない言葉など

they are dancing on top of my palm

踊れ　永久に

waltzing for evermore

壊れ　イカレ　果てて

ending up broken and mad

dance, dance the waltz of destruction

六十年目の東方裁判 ～ Fate of Sixty Years

Requested by Eiki.
I fixed some minor mistakes in the kanji lyrics. However, thanks for writing them down.

*最後に見せた笑顔  もう会えないの: to keep the translated phrases short i had to leave out a few words (which were not written in the lyrics, but they might be important for understanding). Basically it goes like “the smile you showed me in the end, (does it mean) we can’t meet anymore?”
*繰り返す: lit. “repeat”, this refers to the stanza above it
*Scarlet sky あの空の果て: it hurts my heart that i have to repeat the word “sky” in this phrase.
*救われていた: lit. “i have been saved”
*気づいた言葉: “those words” -> “we cannot meet again?”
* Left out the last refrain because too long.

there’s nothing left in this heart
let it be fullfilled

何もかも手放して
