“open your eyes and look north”

*軽いのは重力だけ : not  sure about this, i’m open to any corrections though!
*世界は平等で: ~ “there are equally none of the following …”
* 神様の見えない手なんて言った奴: means, that “god’s hand” isn’t invisible at all, singer thinks that he is openly interfering with people’s daily lives all the time, even misfortune is his work
*神様だってさあ 面白い方がいいだろう?: i don’t even know what this is supposed to be about


月の上の話を聞いたことはあるか?
軽いのは重力だけじゃないらしい
金貨と銃弾の価値には大差がないと
歴史とあの目が証明しているな
tsuki no ue no hanashi wo kiita koto wa aru ka?
karui no wa juuryoku dake ja nai rashii
kinka to juudan no kachi ni wa taisa ga nai to
rekishi to ano me ga shoumei shiteiru na

hey have you heard that story about the moon?
they say gravity isn’t the only light thing
where there is no big difference between gold and bullets
well, go and see for yourself then!

目を覚ませ
me wo samase

open your eyes

君にはまだこの街のルールを話してないな
たった一つだけさ 絶対に損をするな
世界は平等で 貴賎も絶対も優劣もありません
なんて言う奴を信じなければいい
kimi ni wa mada kono machi no ruuru wo hanashitenai na
tatta hitotsu dake sa zettai ni son wo suru na
sekai wa byoudou de kisen mo zettai mo yuuretsu mo arimasen
nante iu yatsu wo shinjinakereba ii

seems like no one told you anything about this city’s rules
but there is a single one that’s absolutely not missing out
in this world, there are no ranks, no totality, no relative merits
but better not believe someone who says that

明確な始まりなんて知らないな
meikaku na hajimari nante shiranai na

i still don’t know how to make a clear start

もう祈ったって何も終わりはこないぜ
そもそも現実 に正しさなんてない
神様だってもう 見飽きたと思うから
オルガンを響かせよう
mou inottatte nani mo owari wa konai ze
somosomo koko ni tadashisa nante nai
kamisama datte mou miakita to omou kara
orugan wo hibikaseyou

no matter how much i pray, the end won’t come
here, there wasn’t even any justice to begin with
because even god was tired of seeing this, i guess
now let this organ resound

絶対的な価値から全てを解き放てば
無限大に信用は肥大化する
その証明のような街の中で君は
何を掴みとって何を失う?

zettaiteki na kachi kara subete wo tokihanateba
mugendai ni shin’you wa hidaika suru
sono shoumei no you na machi no naka de kimi wa
nani wo tsukamitotte nani wo ushinau?

if you free yourself from all those absolute values
you need to increase your trust in infinity
Just like that proof, inside this town
what will you try to grasp, what will you lose?

正論なんて聞いてない
その言葉を言ったのは 君が最初ではない
つまりどうでもいいってことさ
seiron nante kiitenai
sono kotoba wo itta no wa kimi ga saisho de wa nai
tsumari dou demo ii tte koto sa

i won’t listen to your sound arguments
since you’re not the first one to tell me those words
in the long run, it doesn’t really matter at all

もうフロンティアなんてここにしかないぜ
そもそも人類 に限度なんてない
神様なんてもう 笑い転げてる頃だ
度し難い歌を歌おう
mou furontia nante koko ni shika nai ze
somosomo hito ni gendo nante nai
kamisama nante mou waraikorogeteru koro da
doshigatai uta wo utaou

the frontier is no longer right here
humanity doesn’t have any limits to begin with
this is the part where god is probably bursting with laughter
even so, let’s keep singing this song

結局のところ 楽しいだけなのさ
例えそれで 何があっても
神様の見えない手なんて言った奴は 
きっと知らない
kekkyoku no tokoro tanoshii dake na no sa
tatoe sore de nani ga atte mo
kamisama no mienai te nante itta yatsu wa
kitto shiranai

at last, this is all just for the sake of pleasure
even with this, no matter what happens
the guy who said god’s hand is invisible
surely doesn’t know

もう世界なんて誰にも見えない 
そもそも理想 に意思なんてない
神様だってさあ 面白い方がいいだろう?
度し難い歌を歌って
夜を明かそう 気付かれる前に
mou sekai nante dare ni mo mienai
somosomo sore ni ishi nante nai
kamisama datte saa omoshiroi hou ga ii darou?
doshigatai uta wo utatte
yo wo akasou kizukareru mae ni

now in this world, there is no one to be seen anymore
the ideal doesn’t have any purpose to begin with
i wonder, the almighty himself better be interesting
even so i’ll keep singing my song
let’s spend our nights like this before he finds out

original arrangement

Requested by Eiki. Sorry it took a while again, university is horrible sometimes … anyways i couldn’t really figure out who did the arrange or lyrics,
so you guys might want to inform my dumb self about that ^-^

My guess for this song is that it’s about a broken relationship because the two of them don’t see each other much (long-distance relationship?) , guy is bored and fed up with everything,
he wants to break free from the tediousness, but even so he kinda seems to feel sorry about the whole situation while knowing that they’re both stuck with it.

*  なかったことにしたい: not entirely sure if i got this right
* 水の中飛ぶ鳥: “birds flying into the water” is rather literal, i think he means that situation when a bird flies downwards to catch some water to drink
*そんなこと言ってみたい: ” i want to try saying that”
*ありきたり : “arikitari” is ‘habits, that you repeat every day’
*僕を除いていく: “nozoite” as derived from the verb


簡単に決めつけた判断は
ばらばらになってさいしょから
なかったことにしたい
なんて もう
ごまかせない雨に
がらくたみたいな僕の歌
とけてってくれよ
kantan ni kimetsuketa handan wa
barabara ni natte sai sho kara
nakatta koto ni shitai nante mou
gomakasenai ame ni
garakuta mitaina boku no uta
tokete tte kure yo

our easily made decisions were
in scrambles since the beginning
i wish to do what we didn’t do
i don’t want to tell a lie, i want
this rain to erase this trash-like song
of mine already

水たまりに反射して
上下反転した空と地面
水の中飛ぶ鳥とかけっこ
途切れて さよなら またあした
mizutamari ni hansha shite
jouge hanten shita sora to jimen
mizu no naka tobutori to kakekko
togirete sayonara mata ashita

reflecting in this puddle
the sky and the earth turned upside down
i’m racing against the birds flying into the water
as i falter, goodbye, see you tomorrow

君の街は今何時?
ただ単に訊いただけ。
「僕らの夜は明けない」
そんなこと言ってみたい
kimi no machi wa ima nanji?
tada tan ni kiita dake
‘bokura no yoru wa akenai’
sonna koto itte mitai

what time is it in your town now?
i simply just asked about it but
‘our night will never dawn’
that’s what i want to say

ありきたりに溺れて
飽きたら捨てて戻って
それで回る自転 の 輪
繰り返す毎日の
軸はまだ見えない
知らないよ君の意見なんて
arikitari ni oborete
akitara sutete modotte
sore de mawaru jitensha no wa
kurikaesu mainichi no
jiku wa mada mienai
shiranai yo kimi no iken nante

i’m drowning in dullness
once it bores me, i throw it away but it gets back at me
like a bycicle’s wheel spinning round
my everyday life repeats
i can’t see the axis yet
in the end, i don’t care about your opinion

曖昧に対象も無く淡々と
走り出したらまたさいしょから
わかったふりをしていて痛いな
溶けていく鼓動 雨に
がらくたみたいな毎日も
消えてってくれよ
aimai ni taishou mo naku tantan to
hashiridashitara mata saisho kara
wakatta furi wo shite ite itai na
tokete iku kodou ame ni
garakuta mitaina mainichi mo
kiete tte kure yo

without a clear target, once i start
running indifferently from the start again
it hurts, pretending to knew it all along
my heartbeat is fading within this rain
i want my trash-like everyday life
to disappear already

静かな日々反射して
ほつれ反転した空と地面
自分の中もう一人とかけっこ
途切れて さよなら またあした
shizukana hibi hansha shite
hotsure hanten shita sora to jimen
jibun no naka mou hitori to kakekko
togirete sayonara mata ashita

reflecting these silent days
hanging loose, the sky and the earth are inverted
within me, i run a race against my other self
as i falter, goodbye, see you tomorrow

引き伸ばしたまだ三時
ただ単に止めただけ。
「僕らの夜は明けない」
外はもう明けたみたい
hikinobashita mada sanji
tada tanni tometa dake
‘bokura no yoru wa akenai’
soto wa mou aketa mitai

staved off to three o’ clock
but everything simply stopped
‘our night will never dawn’
but outside, it seems like it’s dawned already

ここにいる 揺らいでいる
振り返る僕を除いていく
飛び出したって戻らないよ
どうやら僕らも止まれないみたいだ
気まぐれに言葉さえも 気持ちさえも 伝わらんみたいだ
言葉濁したリバーブもさよなら バイバイ
koko ni iru yuraide iru
furikaeru boku wo nozoite iku
tobidashitatte modoranai yo
douyara bokura mo tomarenai mitaida
kimagure ni kotoba sae mo kimochi sae mo tsutawaran mitaida
kotoba nigoshita ribaabu mo sayonara baibai

now we’re here, swaying
i look back as you leave me behind
once i started to fly, i’ll never come back
but somehow, it seems like we can’t stop
i can’t seem to deliver any words nor feelings to you on a whim
my words blur along with their reverb, so goodbye, farewell

簡単に決めつけた判断は
ばらばらになってさいしょから
なかったことにしたい
なんて もう
ごまかせない雨に
がらくたみたいな僕の歌
とけてってくれよ
kantan ni kimetsuketa handan wa

i don’t want to tell a lie, i want
this rain to erase this trash-like
song of mine

今も 僕は ここにいるよ
正しいことなんて何もないよ
忘れさせてよ 忘れさせてよ
「僕らの夜は明けない」
ima mo boku wa koko ni iru yo
tadashii koto nante nani mo nai yo
wasuresasete yo wasuresasete yo
‘bokura no yoru wa akenai’

and even now, i’m still here
there are no ‘right’ things anymore
let me forget it all, let me forget it all
‘our night will never dawn’

竹取飛翔 ~ Lunatic Princess , Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess, Kaguya Houraisan’s Theme

Here is the Kishida song i promised. Nothing much to say as always, except that uni is stressing me like hell and ugh, so much work in so little time  -.-
Might take me a while to answer comments or finish requests, sorry about that!

*引き寄せられる: this literally means “to be drawn to sth”, which is probably referring to the water tide/ the crashing waves but “float” (in the water) is shorter so i went with that
*夜光虫: is “yakouchuu”, meaning ~’night light bug’ and officially called noctiluca scintillans (also known as sea sparkle). even though they’re not really bugs, rather some kind of jellyfish that glow in the dark. for a more scientific explanation, please try wikipedia, i’m no expert :D this also means that they are not able to “fly”, but rather drift in the sea


求める先が たとえ暗闇だとしても
明日さえいらない 君がいてくれるなら
motomeru saki ga tatoe kurayami da to shite mo
ashita sae iranai kimi ga ite kureru nara

even if what i’m longing for is complete darkness
i don’t need a tomorrow as long as you’re here with me

夢と呼ぶには 儚いひとしずくだけれど
居場所などいらない 君がいてくれるなら

yume to yobu ni wa hakanai hitoshizuku dakeredo
ibasho nado iranai kimi ga ite kureru nara

if i were to name my dreams, they’re but fleeting droplets
i don’t need a place to belong as long as you’re here with me

転がり堕ちるせめてこの手を
放さないでと願うことも
赦されぬならせめてこの身を
砕かせないで 君の永遠で
korogari ochiru semete kono te wo
hanasanaide to negau koto mo
yurusarenu nara semete kono mi wo
kudakasenaide kimi no towa de

dropping down and falling, at least
please don’t let go of my hand
and if that’s unforgivable, then at least
please don’t let my body break within your eternity

戯れの仕草で 引き寄せられる夜光虫
永遠が欲しいと飛んで
戯れの予感で 引き寄せられる夜光虫
美しき夜空に飛んで
tawamure no shigusa de hikiyoserareru yakouchuu
eien ga hoshii to tonde
tawamure no yokan de hikiyoserareru yakouchuu
utsukushiki yozora ni tonde

with a funny gesture, the noctiluca float up and down
wishing for eternity as they fly
with a funny notion the noctiluca float up and down
drifting into the beautiful night sky

抑圧の先 それが解放だとしても
自由などいらない 君がいてくれるから
yokuatsu no saki sore ga kaihou da to shite mo
jiyuu nado iranai kimi ga ite kurerukara

if the end of oppression means i’ll be liberated
i don’t need freedom as long as you’re here with me

同じ時間を数える日々を
歪んで見てるまぶたの向こう
赦されるならどうかこの身が
朽ち果てるまで ずっと
onaji jikan wo kazoeru hibi wo
yugande miteru mabuta no mukou
yurusareru nara dou ka kono mi ga
kuchihateru made zutto

behind my eyelids, i twistedly see
the days when i counted the same hours over and over
if i can be forgiven then please
stay with me until this body decays

戯れの仕草で 引き寄せられる夜光虫
永遠が欲しいと飛んで

また 夜がはじまる

another night begins

Requested by mrnym675.

Took a while, university is flooding me with homeworks, sorry ’bout that! I’ll probably upload two more translations before exams start in July :)
Enjoy ~

*ciranda is a brasilian circle dance, where the dancers (usually children) take each other’s hands and dance around in a circle (much like the japanese kagome)


In den Abgrund herab
Ich stürze, sehe kein Licht
Alles was ich noch hab
reicht meiner Seele doch nicht

down into the abyss
i’m falling, don’t see a glimpse of light
everything that i own
wouldn’t satisfy my soul at all

In dem Schatten der Zeit
Ich lache, weine doch mein Schrei bricht
Doch bald bin ich bereit
Ich zeig mein eigenes Ich, denn

within the shadows of time
i laugh, i cry, but my screams become silent
but soon i will be ready
i’ll show my true self because

Bald ist es vorbei, ich steh wieder auf
Doch noch lachen sie
Nehm all meine Kraft, denn jetzt will ich stärker sein!

soon it’s all over, i’ll pick myself up again
even if they’re still laughing
i gather all my strength because now i want to become stronger!

Und sie tanzen mit mir Kreis,
lachen lauter um meinen Schrei,
doch ich weiß…
Gelächter wird ihnen schon bald vergehn!
Ihren Tanz den brech ich
mit ‘nem Lachen auf dem Gesicht
denn ich weiß…
Diesen Ciranda übernehme schließlich ich!

and they’re dancing in circles with me
laughing at my screams
but i know…
that soon their laughter will cease!
I’ll break off their dance
with a smile on my face
because i know…
I’m the one who will take over this ciranda!

Breche auf in den Kampf,
den mein Schatten immer gewann,
doch es reicht…
Denn auch sein Lächeln wird als letztes gehn!
Zieh mein Schwert aus dem Herz,
das mir jede Hoffnung verwehrt
Ja, es reicht! Ich bin bereit!

i’ll set off for the battle
that my shadow has always won
but it’ s enough now…
because even its smile will fade last of all
pull my sword out of the heart
that denied me all hope
yes, it’s enough! i’m ready!

Steig die Treppen hinab
Die Welt über mir, sie bricht nieder
Doch es nimmt seinen Lauf
Zurückgehn werde ich nie wieder

i descend the stairs
while the world above me is crumbling
but everything takes its course
and i will never go back again

Sooo this is the first time i translated a german song into english, i hope i didn’t mess it up completely … I’m open for complaints from fellow german translators! :)
If the composer want this to be taken down, i will do so of course.

* Träume sehen mein Herz in der Einsamkeit: slighty ambiguous word order, but i think i got this right


Träume sehen mein Herz in der Einsamkeit
Wo bist du hin? Ich suche nur nach einer Spur

my heart is dreaming in this loneliness
where did you go? I’m only looking for a trace

Bücher zeigen das Bild dieses Wunderlands
Was ist geschehn? Ich sehne mich nach deinem Licht

books show me the picture of this wonderland
what happened? I’m longing for your light

Wohin soll ich gehn?
Und was wünsch ich mir?
Wo ist der Weg hin, hin zu dir?
Nur der eine Pfad ohne Wiederkehr
Doch ich suche noch weiter, für dich

where should i go?
what am i yearning for?
where is the trail that will lead me to you?
a path with no return is all there is
but i keep searching, for your sake

Tage, Wochen und Jahre gehn mit der Zeit
War es denn das, hast du das so immer gewollt?

Days, weeks and years elapse
is that it? Is that what you always wanted?

Lächle, doch bricht mein Herz an der Einsamkeit
Ich wollt es auch, doch war dieser Weg doch nur dein

smiling, and yet this loneliness breaks down my heart
i wanted it too, but this path was yours alone

Was soll ich jetzt tun?
Wonach suche ich?
Denn kein Buch dieser Welt führt zurück zu dir
Und ich frage mich, siehst dus’ auch wie ich?
Ich sing mein Lied nur für dich…

what should i do now?
what am i searching for?
in this world there is no book that could ever lead me back to you
and i ask myself,  ‘do you think the same?’
i’m singing my song for you only

Ich schau auf zu dir
Suchst du auch nach mir?
Ich warte für alle Zeit

i look up to you
are you looking for me too?
i’ll wait for all eternity

i promised this since like, forever? well so here it is, sorry it took so long -.-

*取り残され沈むように : “i start sinking as i was left behind” – well english isn’t my mother language, but the tense sounds wrong here… i’d be glad if someone could tell me how to say it instead
*どうせ誰かがやるしかないのさ : not sure whether i got this right


よく澄んでいて今日も憂鬱だな
日頃の行いは 悪くないはずだ
暗い闇の中 慣れすぎている
それ自体が証明
ろくなモノじゃないな

yoku sunde ite kyou mo yuuutsu da na
higoro no okonai wa warukunai hazu da
kurai yami no naka naresugite iru
sore jitai ga shoumei

it‘s clearing up well, today’s melancholy
my behaviour shouldn’t be this bad
but this deep darkness is just too familiar
that itself is proof enough
it seems rather unpleasant

言い繕っても僕の居場所は
どうせここしかあるはずがない

iitsukurotte mo boku no ibasho ha
douse koko shika aru hazu ga nai

even if i sugarcoat it, in the end
this is not the place i should be

冬の空と夜の空気

あと少しで音が消える
取り残され沈むように

fuyu no sora to yoru no kuuki
tsumetasa dake najinde yuku
ato sukoshi de oto ga kieru
torinokosare shizumu you ni

the winter sky and the night air
i’ll just get used to the coldness
and little by little, the noises disappear
i start sinking as i was left behind

僕はと言えば 風も光も
障害物と認識している
そんな価値観で生きてていいの?
なんて思った ことくらいはあるさ

boku ha to ieba kaze mo hikari mo
shougaibutsu to ninshiki shite iru
sonna kachikan de ikitete ii no?
nante omotta koto kurai wa aru sa

if i were to speak about wind and light;
i’d recognize them as obstacles
is it alright to live with values like that?
that’s more than i thought it was

好きなわけじゃないはずだけど
どうせ誰かがやるしかないのさ

suki na wake ja nai hazu dakedo
douse dareka ga yaru shika nai no sa

there is no way i like doing this but
i don’t have a choice, someone has got to do it

止まる呼吸この瞬間に
世界を掴み精緻を成す
あと少しで今日も終わる
一筋だけ痕を残す

tomaru kokyuu kono shunkan ni
sekai wo tsukami seichi wo nasu
ato sukoshi de kyou mo owaru
hitosuji dake ato wo nokosu

i stop my breath this moment
and try to fathom this world with precision
just a little longer and today will end
leaving but a single mark

言い繕っても僕の居場所は
どうせここしかあるはずがない

iitsukurotte mo boku no ibasho wa

i’ll definitely show you, if it’s the two of us, we can do it
ahh i understand
when i’m there, you are there, that’s all i need, my one and only treasure
forever

killing magic

The beautiful world

Weeelll happy belated new year to you all!
In fact i haven’t been completely lazy, i just wasn’t home to work on any translations. From now on i’ll try to translate as much as i can until exams start in february.
But for now, enjoy this kairo song :)

*縛られた椅子に座り続けながらも: this doesn’t seem to make much sense since you can’t ‘walk’ and ‘sit on a chair’ at the same time, i’m aware of that, but i think it rather means something like “my mind wanders off”, that the singer basically “dreams herself away, looking for a place to go to”


傷つけ合って また誰かのせいにして
救われたいと泣き喚き散らした

kizutsuke atte mata dareka no sei ni shite
sukuwaretai to nakiwameki chirashita

We hurt each other but blame someone else again
my cries that i want to be saved scatter all around

縛られた椅子に座り続けながらも
行き先探してまだ迷ってる

shibarareta isu ni suwari tsuzuke nagara mo
ikisaki sagashite mada mayotteru

even while i keep sitting on the chair i’m tied to
i still wander around, looking for a destination

動かなくなった
足を引きずりながら
また次へと進むのか
逃げられないなら
閉じた目をさあ 開いて
涙溢れても

ugokanaku natta
ashi wo hikizuri nagara
mata tsugi e to susumu no ka
nigerarenai nara
tojita me wo saa hiraite
namida afurete mo

i became unable to move
as i drag my legs along
will i still make it to the next place?
if i cannot run away
i just open my shut eyes again
even if tears will overflow

I can’t take it anymore

一人じゃ何もできないよなんて言って
歩くの止めた愚かな私は

hitori ja nani mo dekinai yo nante itte
aruku no yameta oroka na watashi wa

you say i can’t reach anything all alone
how foolish of me to give up on moving forward

開き直って全てを放り投げて
無くしてやっと後悔してる

hirakinaotte subete wo houri nagete
nakushite yatto koukai shiteru

in defiance i throw it all aside, but
when it’s gone i’ll regret it by the skin of my teeth

動かなくなった
足を引きずりながら
また次へと進むのか
逃げられないなら
閉じた目をねえ 開いて
涙溢れても

ugokanaku natta
ashi wo hikizuri nagara
mata tsugi e to susumu no ka
nigerarenai nara
tojita me wo nee hiraite
namida afurete mo

i became unable to move
as i drag my legs along
will i still make it to the next one?
if i cannot run away
i shall open my shut eyes again
even if tears will overflow

I can’t take it anymore

今昔幻想郷 ~Flower Land, Yuuka Kazami’s Theme

Requested by Eiki.
And i have to apologize but requests might take a while from now on, university is kinda stressing me lately. Enjoy nevertheless!

*雲遊に偲はく: this little phrase almost made me freak out since i could not translate this at all. 雲遊 (unyuu) has the character “雲” (kumo- cloud) and “遊” (yuu – idle). What follows is 偲はく (shinohaku);
“偲” (shino) derives from “偲ぶ” (shinobu – remember, think of) whereas “はく” (haku) can mean “wear/ soul/ foil/ throw up… etc”, so….i completely replaced the words with “drift by” which i think fits the context just fine. Feel free to correct me anytime though!
*あの少女 : i have no clue who “that girl” could be


たまゆらに宵はひいて暁をかかげる
露を染め花は結び雲遊に偲はく
あの向こうへ そう遠くへ 僕らはそらに願う
tamayura ni yoi wa hiite akatsuki wo kakageru
tsuyu wo some hana wa musubi unyuu ni shinohaku
ano mukou he sou tooku he bokura wa sora ni negau

in a fleeting moment, night passes and dawn breaks
dyeing the dew, the flowers blossom and idle clouds drift by
far, far beyond that, we say our wishes to the sky

爪先立ちで背を伸ばしていた頃
「駄目だね、まだ」
「ほら、今日もまた夜があける」
tsumasakidachi de se wo nobashite ita koro
dame da ne, mada
hora, kyou mo mata yo ga akeru

back then, we stretched our backs on tiptoes
“it’s still useless after all”
“but look, today, night will pass again”

蒼に触れそらを翔けるあの少女のように
いつかなあ、まだ先かなあ
そらのカーテンの下で
ao ni fure sora wo kakeru ano shoujo no you ni
itsuka naa, mada saki ka naa
sora no kaaten no shita de

flying through the sky and touching the blue, just like that girl
oh sometime, someday we will…
underneath the curtain of this sky

春風よ、轍に乗り僕らをもっと遠くへ
夢にみた光る先へ あの少女と共に
haru kaze yo, wadachi ni nori bokura wa motto tooku he
yume ni mita hikaru saki he ano shoujo to tomo ni

a spring breeze blows, along the wheel tracks we go further
towards the light we’ve seen in our dreams, together with that girl

現は景 白にそまる
ああ、僕ら浮かぶその向こうで
一つの奇跡がうまれるんだね
utsutsu wa kei shiro ni somaru
aa bokura ukabu sono mukou de
hitotsu no kiseki ga umarerunda ne

reality whitens the scenery
ah, we are floating on the other side
and with that, one single miracle is born

「ねえ聞いて、昨日みた夢。
不思議な世界で、そらを飛んだんだ」
nee kiite, kinou mita yume
fushigi na sekai de, sora wo tonda nda

“hey listen, to that dream of yesterday
in this mysterious world, we can fly right through the sky”

i feel so productive these days, it’s awesome.
And again, i have troubles finding a picture for this, sorry~

*カタはつかないぜ: i have not a single clue why it says カタ (kata) in katakana instead of hiragana, that’s why i had to guess where it derives from. i went with 過多 since it fits the content.
*しかない: this also made me wonder; しか…ない (shika…nai) means “only/ just etc”while しかない is “not having a choice” (see also last phrase of the lyrics)
*微笑む神: lit. “a laughing god”
*君の正義を証明して くれる人は現れない: i think して くれる belongs together


決まりきった選択肢
どうせ同じさ
セオリーはいつだって
僕らを裏切っていく
kimarikitta sentakushi
douse onaji sa
seorii wa itsu datte
bokura wo uragitte yuku

the choices we made
were always the same in the end
and our theory has always
come to betray us somehow

感情論程度ではカタはつかないぜ
望む未来があるなら
犠牲と覚悟が必要だ
kanjouron teido dewa kata wa tsukanai ze
nozomu mirai ga aru nara
gisei to kakugo ga hitsuyou da

i cannot use emotional arguments excessively, so
if the desired future does exist
sacrifice and determination are inevitable

笑えないけど
君もそう思うだろう?
そんなもんさ
waraenai kedo
kimi mo sou omou darou?
sonna mon sa

you’re not smiling but
don’t you think the same?
about those things

夢や希望や幻想だけじゃ
確度が一つも足りやしない
甘えも緩さも親愛も
勝者のぜいたく品でしかない
yume ya kibou ya gensou dake ja
kakudo ga hitotsu mo tari yashinai
amae mo yurusa mo shin’ai mo
shousha no zeitakuhin de shika nai

dreams and hopes are mere illusions
my determination alone is not enough
overreliance, forgiveness, affection
are not the luxury of a winner alone

全てを終えてしまうまでは
何も知らないほうがいい
途中経過には意味がない
最後が一番大事だからさ
subete wo oeteshimau made wa
nani mo shiranai hou ga ii
tochuu keika ni wa imi ga nai
saigo ga ichiban daiji dakara sa

until i have brought everything to a close
i’m better off not knowing anything
even the current process doesn’t matter
because the end is most important

リスクを愛せない奴に
微笑む神はいない
あいつら多分だけど
かなり性格悪いぜ
risuku wo aisenai yatsu ni
hohoemu kami wa inai
aitsura tabun dakedo
kanari seikaku warui ze

for those who don’t love the risk
there’s no benevolent god
but they probably have
a pretty fucked up personality

優しさで現状は動かない
yasashisa de genjou wa ugokanai

kindness will not change the situation we’re in

愛した世界 信じた未来
僕に必要なものではない
殺傷力さえあれば
大体は上手くいくことが多い
全てを救うなんて今すぐ
諦めたほうがいいんじゃない?
正しいってことはいつでも
大体一番残酷だからさ
aishita sekai shinjita mirai
boku ni hitsuyou na mono dewa nai
sasshou ryoku sae areba
daitai wa umaku iku koto ga ooi
subete wo sukuu nante ima sugu
akirameta hou ga ii n ja nai?
tadashii tte koto wa itsu demo
daitai ichiban zankoku dakara sa

the world i loved, the future i believed in
to me, there‘s no need for them anymore
even if i had the power to kill
on the whole, it often went well
but saving everything right now…
shouldn’t we just give it up?
because the “right“ things are
always the cruelest ones

確実に一手ずつ積み上げろ
手順を守る奴を嘲笑え
君の正義を証明して
くれる人は現れない
kakujitsu ni itte zutsu tsumiagero
tejun wo mamoru yatsu wo warae
kimi no seigi wo shoumei shite
kureru hito wa arawarenai

i rebuild my certainty one-handedly
while laughing at the guy keeping order
you don’t appear as a person who
could prove his justice to me

全ての現実には
慣性というものが働く
動き出したものはすぐには
止まれないものなんだ
くだらないものが残っていく
理由なんてたったそれだけ
大層なストーリーなんて
この程度のものでしかないからさ
subete no genjitsu ni wa
kansei toiu mono ga hataraku
ugokidashita mono wa sugu ni wa
tomarenai mono nanda
kudaranai mono ga nokotte iku
riyuu nante tatta sore dake
taisou na sutoorii nante
kono teido no mono de shika nai kara sa

the entire reality acts as
something called inertia
all of the things that moved have
suddenly become unstoppable
now the boring things will remain
and that‘s the only reason there is
because of this exaggerated story
we don’t have a choice with things on this scale
