チラリと見える橙に触れてみたくなったのでしょう？
実は私もあなたと同じ穴の狢（むじな）です

chirari to mieru daidai ni furete mitaku natta no deshou?
jitsu wa watashi mo anata to onaji ana no mujina desu

Did you feel like touching the bitter orange visible for a moment?
You and I were the same in that respect.

何がキミを曇らせた
望んだ景色だっただろう？
あのコを止めてあげてください
私は既に手を染めた

nani ga kimi o kumoraseta
nozonda keshiki datta darou?
ano ko o tomete agete kudasai
watashi wa sude ni te o someta

Something was making you frown.
Was it the landscape you were gazing at?
Please, stop them.
I’ve already gotten involved.

随分前から　返事も忘れて

zuibun mae kara henji mo wasurete

I forgot to respond long ago.

他のことを考えてた
片目でキミを遮って見てた
他のことを考えてた
そこに誰かの影を重ねていた

hoka no koto o kangaeteta
katame de kimi o saegitte miteta
hoka no koto o kangaeteta
soko ni dareka no kage o kasanete ita

I was thinking of something else.
With one eye, I watched you. Something blocked the way.
I was thinking of something else.
Somebody else’s silhouette was overlapping with yours.

キミの話がはんぶんこ
重なるたびに欠けてゆく
沈黙が円を描くよ
誰もキミとは気づかない

kimi no hanashi ga hanbunko
kasanaru tabi ni kakete yuku
chinmoku ga en o egaku yo
dare mo kimi to wa kidzukanai

Your tale was split in half.
As it layers up, it vanishes.
Silence makes a circle.
Nobody notices you.

色眼鏡掛けて　余所見をしていた

iromegane kakete yosomi o shite ita

Wearing rose-coloured glasses, I was looking away.

他のことを考えてた
片目でキミを遮って見てた
他のことを考えてた
そこに誰かの影を重ねていた

hoka no koto o kangaeteta
katame de kimi o saegitte miteta
hoka no koto o kangaeteta
soko ni dareka no kage o kasanete ita

I was thinking of something else.
With one eye, I watched you. Something blocked the way.
I was thinking of something else.
Somebody else’s silhouette was overlapping with yours.

キミの姿をはじめて見たよ
本当のキミをはじめて見たよ

kimi no sugata o hajimete mita yo
hontou no kimi o hajimete mita yo

I saw you for the first time.
I saw you as you really are for the first time.

–The Lost Emotion [亡失のエモーション]

Requested by: Vengeance

今この現状に違和感や戸惑いもなく
おかしいと悟り止まっていた時間を一歩踏み込んで再起動してみよう

ima kono genjou ni iwakan ya tomadoi mo naku
okashii to satori tomatte ita jikan o ippo fumikonde saikidou shite miyou

I don’t feel any discomfort or unease at this situation.
Humour and enlightenment. I’ll take a step and try to reboot stopped time.

さあ始めましょう（今更こんなの）
願う理想像に（嘲笑う心）
狭い架け橋へと（結果は必然）
步み進むため

saa hajimemashou (imasara konna no)
negau risouzou ni (azawarau kokoro)
semai kakehashi to (kekka wa hitsuzen)
ayumi susumu tame

Okay, let’s begin. (It’s too late for this.)
I pray to an idealised image. (My heart sneers at it.)
I do this l so I can keep walking towards (The results are inevitable.)
this narrow suspension bridge.

あぁ、それは叶わないと語りかけてくるその心の真相　受け入れたら
自分を愛したいと嘆くあなたと　終天のアリア　歌うよ

aa, sore wa kanawanai to katarikakete kuru sono kokoro no shinsou ukeiretara
jibun o aishitai to nageku anata to shuuten no aria utau yo

Ah, if I accept the truth of a heart that tells me it won’t come true,
then I’ll sing a timeless aria with you, grieving in wanting to love yourself.

どうしようもなく落ちて閉じてしまった世界
何も考えず知識防衛なんて健気　そんな馬鹿な事やめてしまえ

dou shiyou mo naku ochite tojite shimatta sekai
nani mo kangaezu chishiki bouei nante kenage sonna baka na koto yamete shimae

This world fell and was sealed away. It’s beyond help now.
How ‘admirable’ to protect your knowledge without thinking about it—stop such foolish things!

まだ覚えている（もう忘れたいの）
ただ叫んでいる（声は枯れ果てて）
ああ、今求めている（再生のカルマ）
目を逸らさないで

mada oboete iru (mou wasuretai no)
tada sakende iru (koe wa karehatete)
aa, ima motomete iru (saisei no karuma)
me o sorasanaide

I still remember. (I want to forget.)
I just scream. (My voice grows hoarse.)
Ah, I’m pursuing it now. (Resuscitating karma.)
Don’t look away.

ねえ、そんな顔しないで優しく伸ばしたこの両手を掴む　共に行こう
もう ここで終わっていい全て融け合い　終天のアリア　歌うよ

nee, sonna kao shinaide yasashiku nobashita kono ryoute o tsukamu tomo ni ikou
mou koko de owatte ii subete toke ai shuuten no aria utau yo

Come on, don’t pull that face. Grab my hands, held out kindly, and let’s go!
Things can end now. Everything will melt together. I’ll sing a timeless aria.

静かに変わっていく（静かに変わっていく）
あなたはまだ知らない（あなたも見捨てはしない）
静かに変わっていく
仮面脱ぎ捨て　さあこの先へと
あぁ、それは叶わないと語りかけてくるその心の真相　受け入れたら

shizuka ni kawatte iku (shizuka ni kawatte iku)
anata wa mada shiranai (anata mo misute wa shinai)
shizuka ni kawatte iku
kamen nugisute saa kono saki e to
aa, sore wa kanawanai to katarikakete kuru sono kokoro no shinsou ukeiretara

I silently change. (I silently change)
You still don’t know. (I won’t abandon you, either.)
I silently change.
I’ll cast off my mask and come towards what lies beyond.
Ah, if I accept the truth of a heart that tells me it won’t come true—

手と手を重ね合わせ　ひとつになれる
掠れた声は理想を切り裂いてく
もうこれで終わっていい　全て融け合い
終天のアリア　歌うよ

te to te o kasane awase hitotsu ni nareru
kasureta koe wa risou o kirisaiteku
mou kore de owatte ii subete toke ai
shuuten no aria utau yo

Our hands overlap and we can become one.
My hoarse voice tears through ideals.
Things can end now. Everything will melt together.
I’ll sing a timeless aria.

Lyrics: nuyuri (ぬゆり)
Composed by: nuyuri (ぬゆり)
Album: protoplan
Circle: nulut
Event: C93

Requested by: Shea

I forgot how much I like nuyuri’s lyrics – I can never quite tell if I’ve interpreted them correctly, but they paint some interesting images and sound great. They feel almost… mathematical, I guess?

手に余るほどの　目には見えないはずの平凡を
壊して満たしてひた隠しきって　生活のために命を使って
喉元を見れば分からないものが巻き付いている
息が詰まる何秒か前までに頭の毒に自由を奪われる
飲み込みたければ現実を射抜いておくれよ
空が割れることを待っているだけ　何もしないままじゃ放っとけないから
貴方の不安は沢山の息から生まれている
「そばに居てほしい」なんて気休めだ
嘘も本当もどっちでも無いでしょう？

te ni amaru hodo no me niwa mienai hazu no heibon o
kowashite mitashite ita kakushi kitte seikatsu no tame ni inochi o tsukatte
nodomoto o mireba wakaranai mono ga makitsuite iru
iki ga tsumaru nanbyou ka mae made ni atama no doku ni jiyuu o ubawareru
nomikomitakereba genjitsu o inuite okure yo
sora ga wareru koto o matte iru dake nani mo shinai mama ja hottokenai kara
anata no fuan wa takusan no iki kara umarete iru
“soba ni ite hoshii” nante kiyasume da
uso mo hontou mo docchi demo nai deshou?

My mediocrity must have been invisible, and it was too much to handle.
I destroyed it, was satisfied, and then hid it. I use life for the sake of my livelihood.
I look at the base of my throat and see something unknown coiled around it.
I’m choking. The poison in my head stole my freedom until a few seconds ago.
If you want to drink it down, pierce through reality
because I can’t just leave you alone doing nothing, waiting for the sky to split apart.
Your unease was born from many breaths.
“I want to be with you.” That’s nothing but consolation.
It’s neither true nor false, is it?

あなたの思いは思い出になってしまった
古い空気を吸って吐き出しているだけ
浮かばない言葉を晴らすために追いつこうとしないでくれ！

anata no omoi wa omoide ni natte shimatta
furui kuuki o sutte hakidashite iru dake
ukabanai kotoba o harasu tame ni oitsukou to shinaide kure!

Your feelings became memories.
All I do is breathe and spit out stale air.
Don’t chase after me to clear away words that don’t come to mind!

追い風よさらば　一人で一人じゃない僕らは
例えばだけど　今更だけど　囚われ合いのまま
どうやって逝こうか　すり潰されるために
あと少しだけ　もう少しだけ
息が続くことを祈り震えている

oikaze yo saraba hitori de hitori ja nai bokura wa
tatoeba dakedo imasara dakedo toraware ai no mama
dou yatte ikou ka suritsubusareru tame ni
ato sukoshi dake mou sukoshi dake
iki ga tsudzuku koto o inori furuete iru

Farewell, o tailwind! We, who are alone yet not alone,
remain captive to each other, though it’s only an example and too late.
How shall I pass to be ground to dust?
Only a little longer, just a little longer now.
I tremble while praying to keep breathing.

細切れの恋を貼り縫い留め繋ぎ合わせて
それがどこの誰とも知らぬ人の生き餌になっていくことも知らずに
殺意を明かせば幾千の目線に焼かれていく
「神のみぞ知る」なんて今更　責任感もへったくれも無いでしょう？

komagire no koi o hari nuitome tsunagi awasete
sore ga doko no dare to mo shiranu hito no iki e ni natte iku koto mo shirazu ni
satsui o akaseba ikusen no mesen ni yakarete iku
“kami nomi zo shiru” nante imasara sekininkan mo hettakure mo nai deshou?

I stick down fragments of love and sew them together
without knowing that it’s becoming live bait for some unknown person out there.
If I reveal my intent to kill I’ll be burned by a thousand stares.
“God only knows.” It’s too late for that! I guess it’s to hell with a sense of responsibility, huh?

思い出はとうに振り返るべき過去になり
残りの僕らは選ぶのをやめていた
名前も意味も奪われたままの僕らを見放してくれ！

omoide wa tou ni furikaeru beki kako ni nari
nokori no bokura wa erabu no o yamete ita
namae mo imi mo ubawareta mama no bokura o mihanashite kure!

Memories have long become a past to think back on.
Those of us who remain had given up choosing.
Ignore us! We are those whose names and purpose were stolen away.

幼いまま　拙いまま　前だけを見据えていた
足元を狙う悪意に気取られて
倒したまま　壊したまま　終わりのまま見つめて
また次の視線を作る

osanai mama tsutanai mama mae dake o misuete ita
ashimoto o nerau akui ni kidorarete
taoshita mama kowashita mama owari no mama mitsumete
mata tsugi no shisen o tsukuru

Still so young, still so inept, I just looked back on what came before.
I was caught up in spite aimed underfoot.
While collapsed, while destroyed, I looked at the end as it was
and I created yet another perspective.

追い風よさらば　一人で一人じゃない僕らは
例えばだけど　今更だけど　囚われ合いのまま
どうやって逝こうか　野次馬の君のために
どこにも行けず　誰にもなれず
只の自分なのを怯え震えてろ

oikaze yo saraba hitori de hitori ja nai bokura wa
tatoeba dakedo imasara dakedo toraware ai no mama
dou yatte ikou ka yajiuma no kimi no tame ni
doko ni mo ikezu dare ni mo narezu
tada no jibun na no o obie furuetero

Farewell, o tailwind! We, who are alone yet not alone,
remain captive to each other, though it’s only an example and too late.
How shall I pass for the sake of you, an onlooker?
Unable to go anywhere, unable to be anyone,
I will tremble in fear of my ordinary self.

さらばさらば

saraba saraba

Farewell, farewell…

舞い落ちた誰かの身体
明日の朝消えてしまうの

asu no asa kiete shimau no

Someone’s body fluttered down.
Tomorrow morning, it will vanish.

「いつだってそばにいるから」
忘れないわ 貴方のことを

“itsu datte soba ni iru kara”
wasurenai wa anata no koto o

“I’ll always be by your side.”
I’ll never forget you.

枯れない花だと知って
蝶々の様に私達はただ彷徨う

karenai hana da to shitte
chouchou no you ni watashi-tachi wa tada samayou

Knowing the flowers would not wither,
we just wandered aimlessly like butterflies.

揺られたなら浮いたココロを
互いに突つき合いながら
庇い合いながら

yurareta nara uita kokoro o
tagai ni tsutsuki ai nagara
kabai ai nagara

All the while, we nudged our hearts together,
which would float when stirred,
and we protected them together.

今夜はもう離さないでいて
帰らないでいいよ　朝を…

Gently…
Once touched, there’s no going back.
We won’t part for the rest of the night now.
You don’t need to head home, wait for dawn…

千切られた私の羽は

My shredded wings
will vanish tomorrow morning.

枯れない花だと知って
恋から恋へと私達はまだ彷徨う

karenai hana da to shitte
koi kara koi e to watashi-tachi wa mada samayou

Knowing the flowers would not wither,
we still wander from love to love.

揺られたなら浮いたココロを

庇い合いながら

yurareta nara uita kokoro o
tagai ni tsutsuki ai nagara

All the while, we nudged our hearts together,

We won’t part for the rest of the night now.
You don’t need to head home, wait for dawn…

―貴方のせいよ。
耳元で呪いの様に囁く

-anata no sei yo.
mimimoto de noroi no you ni sasayaku

“It’s all your fault.”
I whisper it like a curse close to your ear.

帰り道は送らないでいいからさ。
私達 次の約束はしないでいいよね、

kaerimichi wa okuranaide ii kara sa.
watashi-tachi tsugi no yakusoku wa shinaide ii yo ne,

I don’t need to escort you home.
We don’t need to make the next promise.

That’s right.
All the while, we nudged our hearts together,
which floated because they were stirred,
and we protected them together.

Once touched, there’s no going back.

Requested by: Breeze Kashiie
Watch the official video on YouTube!

It looks like the composer added official English lyrics to the video – I guess that kind of defeats the purpose of this translation, but maybe it offers a bit of a different perspective to the song??

頭上に降り続くのは
越えてきた屍の灰
おしゃべり好きな馬鹿共は
何処かに消えたとか

zujou ni furitsuzuku no wa
koete kita shikabane no hai
oshaberi suki na baka-domo wa
dokoka ni kieta toka

The ashes of the corpses I crossed over to come here
fall from above.
The fools who loved to chitchat
vanished somewhere.

焼け野原に残るのは
人をやめた邪か鬼か
背負うのは夢と犠牲
歩く手の鳴る方へ

yakenohara ni nokoru no wa
hito o yameta ja ka oni ka
seou no wa yume to gisei
aruku te no naru hou e

Something that gave up its humanity, like a devil or demon,
Remained on the burnt field.
I bear dreams and sacrifices.
I walk to the source of the clapping.

時は金だチクタク
血の涙目に浮かぶ
また道無き地を這う
いつかそう糧となる

toki wa kane da chikutaku
chi no namida me ni ukabu
mata michi naki chi o hau
itsuka sou kate to naru

Time is money. Tick, tock.
Tears of blood gather in my eyes.
I’m still crawling on a roadless land.
That’s right, this will fuel me someday.

嘘つこう
他人だって蹴落とそう
モラル？知るかもう
あの空に手が届きそう今にも

uso tsukou
tanin datte keotosou
moraru? shiru ka mou
ano sora ni te ga todokisou ima ni mo

I’ll tell a lie.
I’ll defeat even a stranger.
Morals? Like I care about them.
My hands seem able to reach the distant sky, even now.

絡め取られる
阿呆みたいに魘され起きる
守りたい手握り目を閉じる
過去未来にはもう未練はないよ

karametorareru
aho mitai ni unasare okiru
mamoritai tanigiri me o tojiru
kako mirai ni wa mou miren wa nai yo

I’m tied up.
Like an idiot, I stir in my nightmare and wake up.
I want to protect. I clench my fist and close my eyes.
I’m not attached to the past or the future anymore.

最低最高の人生さ
彼岸で好きに言えばいい
天国に行けないのは知ってる上で
ここに立ってるよ
こんな気持ちになるのなら

Life is the best and the worst.
When you’re at the shores of Higan, you can say what you like. (1)
After understanding I won’t ascend to heaven,
I stand here.
If I’m going to feel like this,
Then if only this feeling could go away.
Glory is morphine.
Run past and gallantly die with a smile on your face.

泥水で洗い流す
始まりも終わりもない
いつか物語で聞いた
青なんてなかった

doromizu de arainagasu
hajimari mo owari mo nai

I wash it away with muddy water.
There’s neither a beginning nor an end.
I once heard about it in a story—
that blue never existed.

ロウソクの火が消えても
誰かまた蝋になるの
希望がなくてもいい
あなたが明日だった

rousoku no hi ga kiete mo
dareka mata rou ni naru no

Though the candlelight may vanish,
Somebody will become wax again.
Even without hope,
You were my tomorrow.

走る果てまで
息も絶え絶え
命さえバネに
投げるサイコロ
ねだる無い物
沼に足を取られ

hashiru hate made

I run as far away as I can.
My breathing is faint, too.
Even my life is spring-like.
I throw the dice.
An absent person begs.
My feet are tripped up by the swamp.

自らを粗末に
善悪で反復横跳び
綱渡り死んだらそれっきり

また会えたなら「はじめまして」

mizukara o somatsu ni

Crudely, I sidestep
between good and evil.
If you die on the tightrope, that’s it.
You know, I don’t care now.
If we could meet again, “Nice to meet you.”

すべては光のように過ぎ
思い出だけ燃え続けて
互いの幸は願いつつ
変わらずまた恥をかいてるよ
想いは重ならないまま
右か左かそれだけだったのに
まじないに賭けるか
味ないガムをまだ噛み続けるか

migi ka hidari ka sore dake datta no ni
majinai ni kakeru ka
aji nai gamu o mada kamitsuzukeru ka

Everything passes like light
but only my memories continue to burn.
I keep praying for our mutual happiness.
Nothing changes, and I’m still ashamed.
Our feelings won’t cross paths
though it was something as simple as left and right.
Should I bet on a spell
or should I keep chewing this flavourless gum?

花はすぐに枯れ
誰かは夢破れ
それでもしがみついて
忘れるはずもない

hana wa sugu ni kare
dareka wa yume yabure
soredemo shigamitsuite
wasureru hazu mo nai

The flowers wither right away.
Somebody tears apart this dream.
Still, I cling to it.
There’s no way I could forget it.

もう誰もいないね
鏡の自分と
ただ向き合って寂しくなって
そして自問自答

mou daremo inai ne
kagami no jibun to
tada mukiatte sabishiku natte
soshite jimonjitou

Nobody’s left now.
I’m face-to-face
with myself in the mirror, and I grow lonely.
And then, I soliloquise.

最低最高の人生さ
彼岸で好きに言えばいい
天国に行けないのは知ってる上で

Somnium foeti
Foetal dream

Vocals: Himawari
Lyrics: lolihunter2
Arranged by: hanachan
Album: Dreamfall
Circle: Akanebane (赤音羽)
Event: C96
Original Theme: Last Remote [ラストリモート]

Requested by: mr.deagle

This track uses the common trope of replacing Koishi’s name with the actual word 小石 (koishi – pebble). In this case, the kanji version is interpreted as ‘pebble’, and the hiragana version is interpreted as Koishi’s name.

The words used for fire are also seasonal words representing winter, particularly 埋み火 (uzumibi – banked-up fire).

恋 焦がれては
灰に 成り果てる
ならば 埋み火が
余燼から
燃える のも また 一興か

koi kogarete wa
hai ni nari hateru
naraba uzumibi ga
yojin kara
moeru no mo mata ikkyou ka

I yearn for you
and am reduced to ashes.
In that case, my banked-up fire
is the embers
so I guess burning is just another fun thing to do.

浮世中で 生きとし生ける者全てが
知らずに 何かを追い 求めてく
其の名は愛 あるいは恋と呼ぶ
永久の夢
閉じろ 目よ

ukiyo naka de iki to shi ikeru mono subete ga
shirazu ni nanika o oi motometeku
sono na wa ai arui wa koi to yobu
towa no yume
tojiro me yo

In this fleeting life, all those who live
pursue something without realising it.
It’s attachment. Some people call it love.
In this eternal dream
I’ll close my eyes.

さあ いざ原初の海へ

saa iza genshi no umi e

Come now, to the primordial sea…

無心 無想 無我 無限

mushin musou muga mugen

Innocent, with a blank mind, without self, and without limits…

ゼロとゼロ 重なれば

zero to zero kasanareba
tsunagaru uroborosu

When you combine two zeroes
they form an uroboros ∞.

Koishi flounders.

I guess I’d rather erase my manas-vijnana. (1)
Following my instincts,

Now, I’ll slowly collapse
into the sea of id.
Into it, I threw a boat
formed from a wavering mental image.
The pebble spreads ripples, too.

咲かせ ひっそり眠る海百合
刻み給え
命の 螺旋に ありし 胎児の夢

Unintentional, inactive, unconscious… (3)

閉じた 恋の瞳は

Love’s eye, which I closed,
is like a banked-up fire.
Breath lies dormant.

From a smouldering fire,
It will blaze brightly once again.
I await that day.
O transient sun!

Content warning: This song makes reference to sexual assault.

This song includes a lot of wordplay, particularly using the word 産む (umu – to give birth). Abuse uses a bunch of other words that sound the same but have different meanings – see if you can spot them as you listen to the song.

According to the composer, the wolf (or ‘bow-wow’ – わんわん as referred to in the video description) is called ‘Ote’ オテ.

All instances of ‘I’ in the original lyrics use 俺 (ore), which is the masculine form.

貞操は子供の命を刺して
教会の裏で猫を殺していた
愛情が求めた母の腹では
父さんの子種が俺を産んでいた

teisou wa kodomo no inochi o sashite
kyoukai no ura de neko o koroshite ita
aijou ga motometa haha no hara de wa

Chastity pierced the lives of children
and had killed a cat behind the church.
Within the stomach of my mother, who longed for love,
My father’s sperm yielded me.

so I sent my instincts hoarse and recklessly satisfied myself.
I grew bigger and bigger

It’s unintelligible. “Listen to my story.”

I knew that all along.
Still, the simultaneous dialogue was destroyed.

I search for ‘a reason to live’ and sing

Why?

(1) In all instances, 強姦 (goukan, r***) is sung as やった (literally meaning ‘did’). The sung version can be translated as “Why’d he do that to her?” or “Why’d he do her?” and can be used in place of the translation of the written lyrics.

Ah… sakura, wash away and dance.
You are calm.

嗚呼　夜空　朱に染まり

Ah… the night sky is covered in blood.
The promise calls.
Our linked fingers reach to the heavens
as we pass into the shadows.

The lunar halo wavers. Where are you heading?
I grieve, and though I implore and wish,
the answers I seek have fallen to the depths of an endless hell.

嗚呼　霞　昏く凪ぎて

Ah, the haze darkens and stills
and its ornaments bloom.
The faded colours return to the garden
and scatter in the end.

ふわり　歌声　貴女は何処に居るのですか
ゆらり　まどろみ忘れても
はらり　涙は冴えゆく虚空の果てへ

Lightly, I hear singing. Where are you?
Relaxedly, though I forget in slumber,
gently, my tears become clear and travel to the ends of the empty sky.

淡く淡く春風のよう

Lightly, lightly, like the spring breeze,
the flowing sea of sakura is soundless.

触れる　清明　貴女は其処に居るのですか
廻る理外れても
凍る　薄紅　貴女は此処に居るのですか
結ぶ言の葉届かずとも
揺れる　月暈　貴女は何処へ往くのですか

探す答えは果て無き泥黎の底へ

A touch, pure and clear. Are you over there
though you are separate from the cycle of reason?
The light pink is frozen. Are you here
though the words I bind do not reach you?
The lunar halo wavers. Where are you heading?
Linked together, even if my faded feelings bear fruit,
the answers I seek have fallen to the depths of an endless hell.

馴染む　影は紫色
憂いを湛えて

I become familiar with purple shadows
and express my anguish.

Watch the official video on YouTube! (Horror warning)

As you can tell from the video, this song has a lot of layers, and a few areas worthy of further explanation.

In response to a YouTube comment, the composer noted that とんで膨らんで破列したのは物理的な意味ではないです (flying, swelling, and exploding aren’t meant in the physical sense). 膨らむ and 破裂する have alternative meanings – the first also refers to when one’s feelings swell up, and the second refers to when talks or negotiations break down.

A viewer also left a comment suggesting that, since Rin and Len’s clothes don’t change, they’re actually the same person, which would mean that あの子 (ano ko, lit. ‘that child’, which is mostly used to refer to girls but can also be used to refer to one’s own child) is actually loved by them both.

This translation follows that interpretation, but bear in mind that ‘the one I loved’ can be replaced with ‘the one you loved’ in all cases except the first one in the last stanza, where it grammatically needs to be ‘the one I loved’. If reposting, feel free to use the one that matches your interpretation!

Hopefully this one gets an ‘answer’ song…

とんでくあなたが回るよ回れ

This song was much more difficult to interpret than I anticipated. It sounds so happy yet the lyrics seem so sad…

Part of the difficulty stems from the different ways in which the particle と (to) is used in sentences that have the same structure (i.e. the first and third lines). I may revise this translation as my interpretation evolves.

犯されてゆく　この瑕疵をも齎す迷子と
懲りず夜な夜な世迷言
淘汰されてゆく　知らぬ塩水に咎めろと
分からず屋の言った怨み言

okasarete yuku kono kashi o mo motarasu maigo to

I’m being violated, called a lost child bringing about this defect.
Every evening, they grumble without learning their lesson.
I’m getting weeded out, criticised by the unknown oceans.
These grudges are spoken by the ignorant.

Grant another, a substitution for me.
It’s only natural to be embarrassed, right?
Grant another, a substitution for me.
How boring to leave them to dance a dance of sudden decay.

急かされてゆく焦りを下さる御隣りと

I’m being pressed on by my impatient neighbour.

Grant another, a substitution for me.
Are these the leftovers I was astonished by at 2 in the morning?
Grant another, a substitution for me.
If this is a dream, wouldn’t you rather wake quickly?
Grant another, a substitution for me.
Is the obsolete past something to only be put into words?
Understand me, understand how I changed.
Won’t you let me quickly buy cash with the meaning of life?
