残響ノ鎮魂歌 || An Echoing Requiem

歌詞

さあ何から話そうかな　たくさんのことがあったな
少し長い話になると思うけど耳を傾けてくれると嬉しい
ねえ例えば過ぎ去っていく季節に置き去りにされたとしたら
君は鮮やかにも儚い四季彩にどんな歌を贈るのだろう

鳴り止まぬ残響の鎮魂歌を声を枯らして歌う　空に届きますように
ここでみんなが歩んできた道と存在の証明　遠く届きますようにと高く掲げ

雪解けの頃に生まれて　桜の頃に目を開く
六を目印に手と手を繋いで同じ歩幅で歩んでいく
いつも隣りでは騒がしく笑ってた　そんな君たちが誇りなのさ
でも永遠なんてあるはずなくて　別れの音が耳鳴りのように

一の君は闇夜を照らして千の針に穿かれ　三の君はただ独りで水面に消えた
四の君はあたかも身代わりなるように暗い底へ引きずり込まれ泡と静寂だけを残した

強く残響の鎮魂歌を声を枯らして歌う　空に届きますように
揺れる感情掻き乱す声裂けた言葉の交響　何度も繰り返すように
鳴り止まぬ残響が締め付ける耳を塞いだ両手　返してとただ呟いた
頬を撫でて零れ落ちる鈍く響いた共鳴　何度もこだまするように抉り取る

結んでた約束も　透明になって　ふわりふわりふわり舞う
後悔も　原罰も　贖罪も　ゆらりゆらりゆらり廻う
掴んでた掌も　透明になって　ひらり　ひらり　ひらり舞う
微笑みも　あの声も　温もりも　くるりくるりくるり廻う
繋いでた約束も　透明になって　ぽろり　ぽろり　ぽろり泣く

愛すること夢みること希望なんてバカバカしくて
この瞳に映るモノクロ　もうどうでもいいや
それでもなお戦うのはそれを否定すればするほど
君の全てを否定していく気がして…

六の目印を失って　それでも止まることはできなくて
目まぐるしく移り変わる景色と　新しい仲間との出会い
ただ直向きに繰り返し進んだ　ただ次こそは守れるようにと
未来を分けたあの場所へ一緒に向かうはずだったのに

命燃やす紅蓮の激震黒煙を撒き散らし　音も熱も引き裂くように光へと消える
遠くから祈るだけ嗚呼どうして私はそこで共に戦えないのだろう　悔しさだけを残した

遠く残響の鎮魂歌を声を枯らして歌う　空に届きますように
頬を撫でて零れ落ちる鈍く響いた共鳴　白い吐息に乗せて叫ぶ　叫ぶ　叫ぶ残響
君たちも残されたんだね残酷な運命だ　意味はあるの？意義はあるの？全部　全部　消して　消して
決して忘れないと歌った君のあの歌も涙も私は全部忘れないよ　深く　深く　胸に　刻み付けよう

いざ行かん命運を分かつ桜舞うほどの激情
手にするのは勝利なのか泥のような屈辱なのか

いざススメ天命に賭ける桜散るほどの焦燥
手にするのは侮蔑なのか錆び付いた勝利なのか
どうしてまた私は共に戦えないのだろう
悔しさを噛み締め祈る　また会えますようにと

遠く遠くで上がる炎 もう無理だと知りつつ微笑う君のその姿は美しかったのだろう

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　【響くように手拍子　リズムにのって】
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　【弾むように足踏み　リズムになって】
音を鳴らすのは崩壊と無機質に明日を奪う悲鳴
リズム刻むのは後悔と無感情に明日を壊す矛盾だけ

目を伏せて運命を呪う桜枯れ落ちた狂躁
手にしたのは無力感と捨てたはずの色彩
どうしてまた私を残していなくなったの
孤独になる名声なんていらないから返して

せめて最後に空へ放つもう無駄だと知りつつ火焔吐いたその姿は泣き叫ぶ鳥のようで

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　【響くように手拍子　リズムにのって】
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　【弾むように足踏み　リズムになって】
音を鳴らすのは崩壊と無機質に明日を奪う悲鳴
リズム刻むのは後悔と無感情に明日を壊す矛盾だけ

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　【響くように手拍子　リズムにのって】
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　【弾むように足踏み　リズムになって】

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　同じ空の向こうへ伝わるように
上向いて　ラッパッパッ　飛ぶように
下向いて  ラッパッパッ　笑顔で  ラッパッパッ　ほら
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　同じ海の向こうへ伝わるように
右向いて  ラッタッタッ　跳ぶように
左向いて  ラッタッタッ　笑顔で  ラッタッタッ

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　同じ空の向こうへ伝わるように
上向いて　ラッパッパッ　飛ぶように
下向いて  ラッパッパッ　笑顔で  ラッパッパッ　ほら
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　同じ海の向こうへ伝わるように
右向いて  ラッタッタッ　跳ぶように
左向いて  ラッタッタッ　笑顔で  ラッタッタッ

遠く遠くまで果てなき旅の終着点
紡ぎとり綴りきったあの歌を何度何度でも繰り返し歌うけれど
Не век тебе пташечкой звонко распевать
ура Тrа Iа Iа … 忘れないと胸に刻む響鳴
ура Тrа Iа Iа … おや？もう時間だねCпасибо,

此処で聴いた歌が胸を掻き毟るんだ
да с песней той, что вдаль летит звеня,
да с той старинною, с той семиструнною,
что по ночам так мучила меня.
ура Тrа Iа Iа … 忘れないと胸に刻む信頼
ура Тrа Iа Iа … さあもう時間だねдо свидания,

響くように手拍子　リズムにのって　同じ空の向こうへ伝わるように
上向いて　ラッパッパッ　飛ぶように
下向いて  ラッパッパッ　笑顔で  ラッパッパッ　ほら
弾むように足踏み　リズムになって　同じ海の向こうへ伝わるように
右向いて  ラッタッタッ　跳ぶように
左向いて  ラッタッタッ　笑顔で  ラッタッタッ

哀悼も約束も　透明になって　ふわりふわりふわり舞う
律動と旋律も　透明になって　ゆらりゆらりゆらり廻う
瓦解した掌も　透明になって　ひらりひらりひらり舞う
特別な名声も　透明になって　くるり　くるり　くるり廻う
薄紅の傷痕も　透明になった　ぽろり　ぽろり　ぽろり咲く

愛すること夢みること希望なんて信じれなくても
この瞳に映るモノクロ　寓話になって
過去へ続く道を辿り過ちを繰り返さずに
明日へ続く道標へとなろう

一の君は恐れず貫くあの勇力をくれた　三の君は分け隔てない仁愛をくれた
四の君は優しいあの友愛をくれた　次は私が両手いっぱいの宝物を紡いでゆく番だ

もしも願いが叶うのなら涙零さなくていい笑顔零れる日々を
明日へ望む光となって刻むこの“信頼”を最後の誇りにしよう

今も残響の鎮魂歌は白い大地を越えて　空に届いていますか
生きた証明伝えていくからどうか揺るぎない声で　響き伝わりますように
鳴り止まぬ残響の鎮魂歌を声の限りに歌う
残された共鳴のために歌を奏でよう　夜が明けるように

さあ昔話は終わり　次は君たちが綴ってく未来

Translation

So, where should I begin? I guess a lot happened…
It’s a bit of a long story, but I’d be really happy if you could listen carefully.
Hey, if you found yourself left behind as the vivid, yet fleeting seasons passed you by,
what sort of song would you sing to accompany them?

I sing an echoing requiem until my voice grows hoarse, hoping it will reach the sky.
Proof that everyone lived, and of the paths they took, lies here in my heart. I hoist it up high so it will reach its distant destination.

Born when the snow thawed, we opened our eyes when the cherry blossoms bloomed.
With ‘6’ as our sign, we held hands and walked in step together.
Always at my side, you laughed noisily. I was so proud of all of you.
But there’s no way it could have lasted forever. The sounds of farewell rang in my ears.

#1 illuminated the darkness and was clothed in a thousand needles. #3 vanished into the water, alone.
#4 was dragged down into the depths, sacrificing themselves for someone else. Only foam and silence remained.

I loudly sing an echoing requiem until my voice grows hoarse, hoping it will reach the sky.
My words stir up my unstable emotions, tearing apart my voice. They seem to echo countless times.
I blocked my ears with both hands as the constant reverberations pressed harder. “Give them back…” I muttered.
Slow resonance brushed against my cheek and spilled down. I gouged out the resonance so it would continue to echo.

The promise that bound us together vanishes. Lightly, lightly, lightly dancing around…
Remorse, original punishment, and atonement sway, sway, sway, and come back around…
Your hand that I grabbed hold of vanishes, too. Lightly, lightly, lightly dancing around…
Your smile, your voice, and your body heat sway, sway, sway, and come back around…
The promise that tied us together vanishes, too. Drip, drop, drip, drop. I cry…

Love, dreams, and hope are all so foolish.
Everything I can see is monochrome. I don’t care anymore.
Even so, I continue to fight because the more I deny it
the more I feel like I’m denying you…

I lost the sign of ‘6’, but I could not stop.
The landscape around me changed at a dizzying pace and I met new companions.
I just moved forward, repeating the same things single-mindedly, so I could protect those close to me next time.
Even so, we should have been heading to that fateful place together…

With lives burned away by the crimson earthquake, they vanish into the light, spreading a black cloud of smoke. It is as if their sounds and heat were torn away.
All I could do was pray from afar. Ah, why can’t I fight with you? All that was left behind was regret.

I sing an echoing requiem into the distance until my voice grows hoarse, hoping it will reach the sky.
Slow resonance brushed against my cheek and spilled down. It was carried by my misty breath. Screams, screams, screams echoed…
All of you were left behind too, weren’t you? What a cruel fate. Is there any meaning or significance to it? Erasing everything, everything…
I sang so I would never forget. I can never forget your song or your tears… I will engrave it deeply, deeply in my heart.

Now, we shall decide our fate! We felt a fury so strong it made the cherry blossoms dance.
Will we be victorious? Or will we be left with disgrace, staining us like mud?

Now, advance! We shall bet against our fate. We felt irritation strong enough to make the cherry blossoms scatter.
Will we be left with contempt? Or will we instead gain a rusty victory?
Why is it that I cannot fight at your side once again?
Thinking over my frustration, I pray. I pray that we will meet again…

Flames rise far off in the distance. You looked so beautiful. You continued to smile, even though you knew all was lost.

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. (Claps resound in in time with the rhythm.)
A bounding march forms the rhythm. (A bounding march forms the rhythm.)
But the only sounds that can be heard are shrieks of those whose futures were stolen away by destruction and inhumanity
and only a contradiction, destroying the future with regret and apathy, now beats out the rhythm.

I cast my eyes down and curse my fate. The cherry blossoms withered and fell. Mania.
All I gained was powerlessness and colours I thought I threw away.
Why did you have to leave me behind and vanish once more?
I don’t want to be renowned for being alone. Give them back!

You fired flames to the sky until the end, knowing it was all useless. You resembled a flock of birds, crying and shrieking.

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. (Claps resound in in time with the rhythm.)
A bounding march forms the rhythm. (A bounding march forms the rhythm.)
But the only sounds that can be heard are shrieks of those whose futures were stolen away by destruction and inhumanity
and only a contradiction, destroying the future with regret and apathy, now beats out the rhythm.

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. (Claps resound in in time with the rhythm.)
A bounding march forms the rhythm. (A bounding march forms the rhythm.)

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. I pray they will reach across the same sky.
I look to the sky [rappa-pa] and I pray to fly. (1)
I look down [rappa-pa] with a smile [rappa-pa] look!
A bounding march forms the rhythm. I pray it will reach across the same sea.
I look right [ratta-ta] and I pray to fly.
I look left [ratta-ta] with a smile [ratta-ta].

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. I pray they will reach across the same sky.
I look to the sky [rappa-pa] and I pray to fly.
I look down [rappa-pa] with a smile [rappa-pa] look!
A bounding march forms the rhythm. I pray it will reach across the same sea.
I look right [ratta-ta] and I pray to fly.
I look left [ratta-ta] with a smile [ratta-ta].

At the final stop to this endless journey, far away,
I continue to sing this song, which was spun over ages and written down, but…
“The season for songbirds to sing is not eternal.” (2)
Hooray! Tra la la! ”Never forget.” Echoes carve that message into my heart.
Hooray! Tra la la! …Hm? It’s time. Thank you…

The song I heard here tears out my heart.
“That song echoes into the distance.
My memories and a seven-stringed guitar
tear out my heart each night.” (3)
Hooray! Tra la la! ”Never forget.” Faith carves that message into my heart.
Hooray! Tra la la! …Hm? It’s time. Farewell…

Claps resound in in time with the rhythm. I pray they will reach across the same sky.
I look to the sky [rappa-pa] and I pray to fly.
I look down [rappa-pa] with a smile [rappa-pa] look!
A bounding march forms the rhythm. I pray it will reach across the same sea.
I look right [ratta-ta] and I pray to fly.
I look left [ratta-ta] with a smile [ratta-ta].

Regret and promises grow transparent. Lightly, lightly, lightly dancing around…
Rhythm and melody grow transparent. They sway, sway, sway, and come back around…
The palm of my hand, collapsed, grows transparent. Lightly, lightly, lightly dancing around…
My reputation grows transparent. Sway, sway, sway, and come back around…
My light pink scar, too, grows transparent. Drip, drop, drip, drop. I cry…

Even though I can’t believe in love, dreams, or hope,
the monochrome landscape before me will become a fable.
I won’t follow the path that leads to the past. I won’t make the same mistakes again.
Instead, I will become a guidepost leading to tomorrow.

#1 persisted fearlessly. They gave me courage. #3 granted me indiscriminate benevolence.
#4 gave me tender friendship. Next, it’s my turn to pass on all the treasure I hold in my hands.

If my dream could come true, I’d wish for days overflowing with smiles, in which no tears would need to fall.
Gazing toward tomorrow, I will become light. I’ll make ‘trust’ the final thing I can be proud of, carved into my heart.

Even now, this echoing requiem crosses over the white land. Can you hear it up in the sky?
As I sing to you, I prove to you that I lived, so I sing with a steady voice. I pray that my song will resound and reach you…
I will keep singing this echoing requiem for as long as my voice holds out.
I will perform this song for the sake of the resonance left behind, hoping that dawn will come.

Now, this old tale has come to an end. It’s time to hear about the future—a tale that all of you will write.
