Requested by: Siti

This was an interesting track to translate since the formatting of the lyrics doesn’t necessarily match how they’re sung…

I crammed one in and lost one. I cram two in and they’re dyed white.
The cold ice remains unmelting. They’re just words that can’t be exchanged now.

Faced with someone’s signals, I cowered and looked the other way: “I could change.”
I couldn’t say it and raised my head to a sky of bluffs.
I started running. The bubbles longing for the distant blue world vanished in the wind.
The long-awaited colours of daybreak won’t come so rainbow flowers float.
I gently kissed a pink jellyfish.

I closed my eyes, wandered alone, then opened them.
Flapping clear wings, my heart was etched and encircled.
I began to no longer understand.

With stagnant regrets, I was pretentious and sought love.
My tears flow and fall, mixed with the pretty raindrops.

The distant blue world and the love I longed for were shining.
Only pain pierced and rippled the water’s surface.
Even your smile will become a momentary rainbow.

I reached out but couldn’t touch the downpouring, shining blue world.
I hung my head, with the cheers and my future self who I witnessed in a dream.

I started running in the suspended sky. I’m not scared, so my heart is rugged.
I pile up the round stones which sparkle with a flash and tumble over.
Small sparks scatter with the water and moon, gently, forever.
Ah, ah…

Requested by: Juce Guildez

I suddenly submerge into a shining universe. I am alone in a time paradox.
I fly around in zero gravity. Music. I’m going to meet up with you.

I live a casual, peaceful life again today. My heart cools for a moment.
This argument is like script harmonics, it’s just like I’ve seen an unfamiliar character.
Pain, pain, go away! All I ever do is watch from the side.
This is a story about welcomes. I just pass on by
but still, I’m happy. Yeah.

I can’t just do that, though. That’s no good.
If you’d just clearly call my name, I bet I’d find you.

I’ll swim around to the ends of the earth
in union with the clock going in reverse.

I suddenly submerge into a shining universe. I am alone in a time paradox.
I fly around in zero gravity. Music. I’m going to meet up with you.

Right in the middle of this shining world, you’ll find me.
If only the half-submerged romance I wish for will be granted. Ah…

Make love bloom in me.
Let me hear the voice of your heart.
Make love bloom in me.

I don’t know what’s fun or cute. It’s just like ○✕△◇.
I’m doing my best on the inside—I’ve had enough of being superficial.
Why? It’s too much of a handicap and I hate it.
Thanks. I’m sorry. Ready?
I wonder if, floating buoyantly like this, I can truly be here.

I met you and we shared a bunch of things.
I don’t want you to forget about me. I want you to stay by my side and love me.

Hey, my heart’s power is lacking inside me.
It’s flowing away inside a bay somewhere.

Loves me, loves me not. Loves me, loves me not.
Loves me, loves me not. Loves me, loves me not.
I’m rewinding time that has passed.
The noise doesn’t end. I’m searching for you.
Loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me.

I drift lightly in zero gravity. I hear your voice.

I suddenly submerge into a shining universe. I am alone in a time paradox.
I fly around in zero gravity. Music. I’m going to meet up with you.

Right in the middle of this shining world, you’ll find me.
If only the half-submerged romance I wish for will be granted. Ah…

Make love bloom in me.
Let me hear the voice of your heart.
Make love bloom in me.
Let me stay by your side.

Make love bloom in me.
Let me hear the voice of your heart.
I’ll always, always love you.

See my crimson eyes.
Feel unmissable signals.
Now set me free. I flap my wings
to find the real answer to the riddle. (1)

故きを温ね 新しき事

Something new comes from the past.
I scrawl, following my mood, and modernise it.
Curiosity that’s too much for a cat is the best for a tengu.
I’ll pursue what I seek forever, deeper and deeper without end.

Ah, these are autumn’s fine clothes.
The colour of sprouting fresh leaves is upon the sakura clouds, with white snow.
The mountain’s colours are like a dance of seven changes. (2)
Real or fake, words dance on the wind.

誰も知るものの無い道の先

闇の中　そっとこだまする

daremo shiru mono no nai michi no saki
wasurerareta basho toki no nai shijima
toumei ni hibiku no wa kawa no nagare

Beyond a path unknown to all
lies a forgotten place in timeless stillness.
The flow of the stream echoes clearly,
reverberating gently through the darkness.

鏡の 水面みなも　かすか　ゆらめく波紋
円い月が誘う　夜の始まり

kagami no minamo kasuka yurameku hamon

Ripples faintly waver upon the water’s mirror-like surface.
The round moon invites night’s beginning.

灯あかり燈り　優しく照らして

森に空に澄み渡る音色

The lamp shines tenderly.
Gently, gently, the light dances.
The wind plays its song sleekly,
its clear tones spreading through the forest and the sky.

はらり　はらり　花弁の中で

Light dances, swaying from side to side.
Basking in the moon’s power
that frolicking figure, a real illusion, sways.

A singing voice,
like a flickering dream,
vividly colours and lights up this silent night.

Lyrics: ZUN and TETRA塾 (TETRA Juku)
Arranged by: Swing Holic Band
Album: SWING HOLIC VOL.14 【Official Site】
Circle: SWING HOLIC
Event: C87
Original Theme: Kid’s Festival ~ Innocent Treasures [童祭 ～ Innocent Treasures]

Requested by: Repudiator

This track uses the word 夢違え (yumetagae), which also appears in the title of Changeability of Strange Dream. It refers to the act of praying or saying a charm after having a nightmare so it doesn’t come true.

The chorus also quotes from ZUN’s own lyrics for Innocent Treasures. Putting together a different interpretation was a unique challenge.

遥か彼の地 紺碧の
天つ雲の 通い路を
往くも帰らぬ 道すがら
忘失 忘我 御用心

haruka ka no chi konpeki no
amatsu kumo no kayoiji o
iku mo kaeranu michisugara
boushitsu bouga go-youjin

In a distant land, I travel
on the azure heavenly cloud route.
Along this road, which one cannot return from,
take care against forgetting and falling into a trance.

恋ふに飽いた 妖は
をかし 興を求めては
誘う 夢の幻郷を
是非の狭間に

kou ni aita ayakashi wa

The youkai satisfied by love
seeks curious pleasure
and invites me to the phantom village of dreams,
to the threshold between right and wrong.

心遠く 空を偲び
黄泉返る 胡蝶の舞に

My heart is distant, remembering the sky
in the dance of resurrecting butterflies.
The traveller awakens, and thus speaks
of this truth, grown unstable.

夢違え 幻の朝靄の世界の記憶を
現し世は 崩れゆく砂の上に
空夢の 古の幽玄の世界の歴史を

utsushiyo wa kuzure yuku suna no ue ni
sorayume no inishie no yuugen no sekai no rekishi o

I change this dream, my memories of a world of phantom morning mist.
This transient world is atop crumbling sand.
I tell the history of an ancient world of subtle grace: an invented dream.
Daylight falls upon the sinking streets.

失くしたこと 気づかないほど
置き去った 想いの欠片

何処へ進む？

nakushita koto kidzukanai hodo

tabibito wa ureite kaku katariki

I left so many fragments of my memories behind
that I didn’t even realise I had lost them.
I develop the film that shows me.
The traveller feels sorrow, and thus speaks.
Where will they go?

夢違え 幻の紅の屋敷の異彩を
現し世は 血の気ない石の上に
空夢の 古の美しき都のお伽を

I change this dream, the prominence of the illusory scarlet mansion.
This transient world is atop a bloodless stone.
I tell a fairy-tale of an ancient, beautiful metropolis: an invented dream.
Daylight falls upon the impure streets.
Daylight falls upon the sinking streets.

求めし 旅人 今日もゆく

The seeking traveller continues, even today.

nobashita te o nigirikaeshite hohoende kureru nara
itsumo no you ni akaku yogoshite yo eien mitai na uso de

If you’ll grab the hand I reach out to you and smile
then, like always, I’ll stain it red with a lie that seems eternal.

いつかすべてがわたしを置いていく
だけど　とるに足らない日常で

itsuka subete ga watashi o oite iku
dakedo toru ni taranai nichijou de

Someday, everything will leave me behind
yet the norm is worthless.

今更に外れた人生の中に 出せないラブレタ一書き殴ってる
失って奪って逃げ出して 胡乱な生死にしがみ憑いて
どうしようもなく疲れ切って
本当は全部 わたしのせいだったのかな

ushinatte ubatte nigedashite uron na seishi ni shigami tsuite

In a life gone out of gear after so long, I scribble out love letters I can’t send. (1)
I lose things, steal them away, and run. I haunt suspicious life and death.
I inevitably get exhausted.
I wonder if it was all actually my fault…

沈香よりも胸焼けのする 言葉の甘さに
孤独一滴 溶かして混ぜる 明るい歪なマ一ブリング

jinkou yori mo muneyake no suru kotoba no amasa ni
kodoku hitoshizuku tokashite mazeru akarui ibitsu na maaburingu

The sweetness of your words burns my stomach more than aloe.
I mix a drop of loneliness in, leading to a bright, twisted marbling.

そして 何度でも わたしは残される
だけど 認められない 臆病で

soshite nando demo watashi wa nokosareru
dakedo mitomerarenai okubyou de

And so, I am left behind time and time again
yet I can’t accept it. I’m cowardly.

徒に破れた日々探して どこかではぐれた自分を待ってる
また寄ってたかって 噛み付いて 八つ当たっては逆恨んで
ようやく帰り路見つけて
本当はでも 誰だってひとりなのかな

I search for days torn apart in vain, waiting for a self that I lost sight of somewhere.
I gang up on them again, sink my fangs in, vent my frustrations and resent their kindness.
At last, I found my way home.
I wonder if everyone is really just alone…

約束なら 筋書き通りにわたしを裏切った
さあ 飲み明かそうか ひどい味のする欲望を朝まで

yakusoku nara sujigaki toori ni watashi o uragitta
saa nomiakasou ka hidoi aji no suru yokubou o asa made

As for our promise, you betrayed me, following the synopsis.
Now, shall we drink this foul lust until dawn?

あつめた人生の山で 出せないラブレター掻き破れってる
彷徨って走って追いかけて 挙句の果てまだ望んで
免罪符を信じ続けて
本当は全部 偽物だってわかってたのかな

atsumeta jinsei no yama de dasenai rabu retaa kaki yaburetteru
samayotte hashitte oikakete ageku no hate mada nozonde
menzaifu o shinji tsudzukete
hontou wa zenbu yume datte wakatteta no kana

Atop a mountain of lives, love letters I can’t send are all torn up. (1)
I wander, I run, and I pursue. In the end, I desire again.
I kept believing my excuses
but did I know all along that everything was a dream? (2)

伸ばした手も どうせそのうち振り払われるんなら
いつものように早く満たしてよ 永遠みたいな嘘で

nobashita te mo douse sono uchi furiharawareru n nara
itsumo no you ni hayaku mitashite yo eien mitai na uso de

If my outstretched hand will be shaken off before long
then satisfy me quickly, like always, with a lie that seems eternal.

The title could also be translated as ‘Raze’. I think ‘Raise’ is a better fit since the song deals with life and death and what comes after, so I went with that instead.

The road I’ve lived so far has seemed like a game
and life is like a wild card.
I’m a little worse at using trump cards than people.
Wherever I go, I bow my head.
The pitiful joker is of no use.
You’re unbalanced, and for your sake I send a blue rose.

Because there’s nobody in this world who I can trust completely
I’ll switch off this earthly life’s channel. Farewell.

Wearing a chic red dress
the fragrant rose seems like a placebo.
Even if we’re satisfied and fooled for now, let’s allow it.
Things will continue in a happy dream.

Conspicuous rouge lips
are bullets piercing through the swarming butterflies.
“Just a little more…” the angels and demons laugh, too.
The scales waver.

There’s no reason why anything I should cling to would remain
so let’s go flipping through the thought channels.
The blue rose withers, too.

Stop me from leaving and hug me intimately.
Kiss me skilfully with mischievous lips.
Trump cards should be saved until the end.
Wild card. I’m the joker.

Nobody believes in their heart that life is just a once-only thing.
Let’s cast aside our past and future and enjoy the present!
Isn’t that enough?

All I want is to live while singing, dancing, and smiling.
This world, where all the good-for-nothings just laugh and spend their time,
is still dreaming.

Requested by: Siti

I, the honest one, am at fault? As if!
It all depends on right and wrong as seen by you, the fraudster.
With such a weak flame, an annoying firefly light,
life can’t be fully burned
never, never, no matter when.

This is a struggle to the death.
I was mad from the start.
Surely both you and I
will never die.

That’s right. Resurrection.
Someone sneers. Only the phoenix will fly and pass on
so this is a circle of transmigration.
Life won’t revolve around me forever.
(Luu… la la la la luu la) Eating temporary life,
(Uuu… la la la la luu la) my demon bares its fangs.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime test of courage. I go astray
and steal away an irreversible life.
More and more… come on, demon, follow the sound of my clapping!
Even with vision stolen away, it can’t be concealed.

“Die and apologise.”
That sort of trash is nonsense. Such a phrase won’t spread.
An unreasonable demand. The unchanging past and future.

Now, resurrection!
Grieve and laugh. Only the phoenix is shot and falls.
Karma.
The song of life pauses and ends. I can no longer hear it.
(Luu… la la la la luu la) Meetings and partings repeat
(Uuu… la la la la luu la) and only one person remembers.

I reached out countless times to a secret
and tasted destruction that sneers at life.
I’m going to steal everything away.
If I can return once more, then perhaps I’ll choose.
Even if I’m wounded, and even if it was only for a short time,
Ah… I wanted to live.

I rush to death again.
Even without hurrying it along, it will come. Yes, let me believe…
I can’t stop the path of fate that was chosen.

(Help me…)
Ah, resurrection.
Without arriving anywhere, I have no place to belong.
Resuscitation.
Even if this future is one I mourn and is different to the one I wished for…
(Luu… la la la la luu la) I can’t see what comes next.
(Uuu… la la la la luu la) Inaudible screams
(Luu… la la la la luu la) won’t reach the world’s end.
(Uuu… la la la la luu la) Who killed the phoenix?
(Life and death)
Who made me a lone phoenix? (1)
I killed them.

(1) 火鳥 (hitori) is used for ‘Phoenix’ here, in contrast to 火の鳥 (hi no tori) used earlier. 火鳥 is pronounced the same as 一人 (hitori – alone).
