Just a note: the parts in brackets sometimes echo what comes before, but I think they should be read separately from the non-bracketed text. The inconsistent nature of this made it hard to pick a single translation of 揃えて (soroete), so it changes each time it’s used.

穏やかに　ゆっくりと　現れる
分かれ路　君は　何処に居るの

odayaka ni yukkuri to arawareru
wakaremichi kimi wa doko ni iru no

Calmly, slowly, it appears…
I am at a fork in the road. Where are you?

疲れ果て　少しだけ　振り返る
砕けた石　迷える跡を辿る

tsukare hate sukoshi dake furikaeru
kudaketa ishi mayoeru ato o tadoru

I’m tired. I look back, just a little.
I follow crumbled stones, marks from where I went astray.

崩れてく　突然
君へ　つながる　路が
残された　風と共に　今駆け抜ける

kuzureteku totsuzen
kimi e tsunagaru michi ga
nokosareta kaze to tomo ni ima kake nukeru

The path leading me to you
suddenly crumbles away.
I was left behind. Now I race on, together with the wind.

君の Separate Wings

羽ばたこうよ　上手く

Your separate wings—
(Separate wings)
I’ve gathered two.
(Gathered two.)
Now, let’s flap them skilfully
even if we can’t fly.

I look once more
(Separate Wings)
at those two wings.
(They’re complete.)
I believe that those wings
will forever remain.

地平線　美しく　霞みゆく
白い景色　君はそこに居るの

chiheisen utsukushiku kasumi yuku
shiroi keshiki kimi wa soko ni iru no

The horizon is beautiful. It grows hazy.
Are you there in that white landscape?

旅人は　海を背に　歌い出す
誰も　いつか　ここへ辿り着くと

tabibito wa umi o se ni utai dasu
dare mo itsuka koko e tadori tsuku to

The traveller turns from the sea and begins to sing,
Proclaiming that everyone will someday return here.

消えてゆく　必ず
君を見つめる　日々が
残された　時を手に　進み続ける

kiete yuku kanarazu
kimi o mitsumeru hibi ga
nokosareta toki o te ni susumi tsudzukeru

Days in which I stare at you
will fade away without fail.
Left behind, I will take time in my hands and advance.

I want to believe that, even if I’m injured, these wings
will remain.

Separated wings are engraved in my heart.
I can’t forget. Now, let’s go—
I will continue flying until that day comes.

The Ark of Oaths

Vocals: YuNa (遊女), Cherose
Lyrics: Shishimai #3 (ししまい三号)
Arranged by: Shishimai #3 (ししまい三号)
Album: Blue Moon (蒼月) 【Official Site】
Circle: Shishimai Brothers
Event: C79
Original Theme: Voyage 1969 [ヴォヤージュ1969]

Requested by: Gachi

I think Cherose has such a good voice! I feel like I haven’t heard him in a while, though…

「いつか必ず私を迎えに来て欲しい」
「誓おう　この命に換えても」

“itsuka kanarazu watashi wo mukae ni kite hoshii”
“chikaou kono inochi ni kaetemo”

“I want you to come for me someday…”
“I swear it! Even if I forfeit my life in exchange.”

弱く儚い約束　直向きな命
人の子の運命見つめていよう
決して結ばれることは無いとしても
ただ祈り続けていたい

yowaku hakanai yakusoku hitamuki na inochi
hito no ko no sadame mitsumete iyou
keshite musubareru koto wa nai to shitemo
tada inori tsudzukete itai

A weak, fleeting promise. A single-minded life.
I shall stare at the children’s fates.
Even if we will never be linked,
I want to keep praying.

金と銀で作られた偽りの樹にも
春来たりなば　真珠の花が
誓いの箱舟よ　月に届くまで
千代に八千代に宇宙を駆けろ

kin to gin de tsukurareta itsuwari no ki ni mo
haru kitari naba shinju no hana ga
chikai no hakobune yo tsuki ni todoku made
chiyo ni yachiyo ni sora wo kakero

When spring arrives, pearl flowers will bloom
even upon a false tree made of gold and silver.
O ark of oaths! Until you reach the moon,
Race through space for millennia and millennia.

いつか此処まで迎えに来てくれたのなら
その時は伝えたいことがあるの
いつか誓いを果たして　この身が朽ちても
振り返る者もなく

itsuka koko made mukae ni kite kureta no nara
sono toki wa tsutaetai koto ga aru no
itsuka chikai wo hatashite kono mi ga kuchitemo
furikaeru mono mo naku

If you will come to receive me someday,
There’s something I want to say then.
Though my body may rot when my oath is fulfilled,
There is not a soul who will look back.

“人の作りし星が　夜空で手をつなぎ
やがて光の綱が　地上を包み込む
あらゆる境界を　するりとくぐり抜け
誰しもの想いが　実を結んでゆく”

“hito no tsukuri-boshi ga yozora de te wo tsunagi
yagate hikari no tsuna ga chijou wo tsutsumi komu
arayuru kyoukai wo sururi to kuguri nuke
dareshimo no omoi ga mi wo musunde yuku”

　“Manmade stars link hands in the night sky.
　　　Eventually, the rope of light will envelop the surface.
　　　Slipping through all boundaries,
　　　Everyone’s wishes will bear fruit.”

僅か百年の仲で　消え行く命　慈しむことも嘆くことも
それは百年の過客　残された言葉　ただ只管に想う

wazuka hyakunen no naka de kie yuku inochi itsukushimu koto mo nageku koto mo
sore wa hyakunen no kakaku nokosareta kotoba tada hitasura ni omou

Lives fade away after a mere century. Loving… grieving…
They are the words left behind by the century travellers. I just feel for them earnestly.

“今や機械の腕が　人々を支えている
たとえ言葉が消え　文字さえも無くなり
時を経てもなお　　愛がそこに在るなら

“ima ya kikai no ude ga hitobito wo sasaete iru
tatoe kotoba ga kie moji sae mo naku nari
toki wo hetemo nao ai ga soko ni aru nara

“Now, mechanical arms support humans.
　　If language fades away and even letters vanish,
　　Though time may pass, love will still remain there. If so…

私は　生きよう”

watashi wa ikiyou”

　　…I will live.”

誓おう　この声を月に届けよう
千代に花開く想い　高らかに
狂おしく満月　片時も離れずに
羽衣は永久の夢

chikaou kono koe wo tsuki ni todokeyou
chiyo ni hana hiraku omoi takaraka ni
kuruoshiku mangetsu katatoki mo hanarezu ni
hagoromo wa towa no yume

I shall swear an oath! My voice will reach the moon!
My feelings blossom over the ages, reaching up high.
Without parting from the maddening full moon for a moment,
The angel’s raiment is an eternal dream…

The lyrics themselves are quite interesting. Sakuya herself appears to be the ‘dryflower’ referred to in the title…

綺麗な花びら繋げた飾りは

いつまでも残しておきたいんだ

kirei na hanabira tsunageta kazari wa

Decorations made by linking flower petals together
Won’t stay the same forever
So, at the very least, I only want to leave behind
Things that can’t be put into words, forever…

気だるい時間と
暮らしの頭痛で
9か10時間目
ストローもくたびれてる
風がゆらゆら
前髪と遊んで
一人身のボタンで

The time passes by languidly
And I feel life’s headaches.
It’s been about 9 or 10 hours.
Even my straw is worn out.
The wind gently blows by,
Playing with my fringe.
We can’t understand the future
Using just a single button.

綺麗な花びら繋げた飾りは

いつまでもそのままにしたいんだ

kirei na hanabira tsunageta kazari wa

Decorations made by linking flowers together
Won’t stay the same forever
So I only want to keep those things that can’t be put into words
As they are, forever…

ダメになるまで

晴れでも、雨でも
温室には色が生る

Until I’m no longer of any use,
I will perform my duties.
Whether it’s sunny or rainy,
Colours will bloom in the greenhouse.
10 or 12—
Let’s stop when the clock points there
Because it’s much, much sadder
To waste time.

Decorations made by linking flowers together
Won’t stay the same forever
So I only want to keep those things that can’t be put into words
As they are, forever and ever…

いつだって置き去りにされていくのは
綺麗なままではいられないから

I’m always going to be left behind by others
Because I can’t remain beautiful.
And whenever I’m left behind,
They’ll reach out a hand
And walk in front of me.
Things that can and can’t fade away
Will be burned into my memory, increasing the pages.
Whenever I’m left behind,
I’ll protect them from behind, for sure!

いつか私が老いて枯れる時は
その手で摘み取って

itsuka watashi ga oite kareru toki wa
sono te de tsukami totte

Someday, I will grow old and wither away. When that time comes…
Pick me from the ground, with those hands.

Event: C79
Original Theme: Deaf to All but the Song [もう歌しか聞こえない]

Requested by: Kitty

英訳だけです。申し訳ありません。

My first Liz Triangle album was reunion, and in the years since that album came out, I haven’t had the chance to go back and listen to their back catalogue (secretly hoping they release a sort of ‘complete collection’ at C92…) Anyway, this song is moving and I really like it.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

In a silent forest, clad in dark mist,
I look up at the invisible moon and hum to myself.

The lost child, once again, followed that song
Their figure was projected upon the hazy full moon.

The traces of my loneliness and tears grew so strong they would not vanish.
I believed I could live, even if I was alone. My heart was hollow.

I forgot how valuable it is to talk to others
And accept the kindness of strangers.
Though I sang, though I called out,
Nobody paid any attention to my voice.

The shivering bird sang a lullaby toward the underworld
So they could sleep deeply, once more; so they could die without going astray.

Lending an ear to the song, the lost child stood still.
They seemed anxious, but they began to smile, just a little.

I had already given up,
Given up on understanding others through song.

I want to tell you about my sadness
And about the weight of being burdened with sorrow
So I will continue to sing, continue to cry.
But nobody can hear. I can’t tell anyone about anything.

Even knowing that nobody will hear me,
I continue to sing a song toward the underworld.
Though I’ve given up on communicating with others,
I will sing. My song carries my words and my feelings…

I want to tell you about what lies within my sealed-off heart.
I want to sing with you as we walk, shoulder-to-shoulder
But I told myself it was over, that it was an impossible dream.
I covered my mouth with both hands.

A child grabbed my hands and unsealed my mouth
And they showed me their innocent smile.
They began to sing the same song
And we looked up at the same sky.

FELT-002Snow Sound

Vocals: Maika (舞歌)
Lyrics: NAGI☆
Composed by: NAGI☆
Album: Fairy Queen 【Official Site】
Circle: FELT
Event: C79

Requested by: Marisa~Nya

Winter. Loneliness. Sorrow.

This is an early FELT original, but I quite enjoy it – it has a very refreshing feel to it, even though the lyrics are sad. You can kind of see the beginnings of FELT’s traditional lyric style here: You’re missing -> I’m sad -> I’m going to look for you!

If the person the speaker loves is actually dead, though, the ending becomes kind of morbid.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

ふと立ち止まった瞬間　ふわり雪が落ちてきて
手にとることを許さず　壊れていくだけ

futo tachidomatta shunkan fuwari yuki ga ochite kite
te ni toru koto wo yurusazu kowarete iku dake

The moment I stood still, snow began to lightly fall.
I am not allowed to hold it – it just breaks apart.

忘れたふりをして　逃げ道を探して　心で泣いているの

wasureta furi wo shite nigemichi wo sagashite kokoro de naite iru no

Pretending I had forgotten you, I search for a way out. I am crying inside my heart.

その笑顔の意味を　わかる時がきたら
もうこれ以上振り向かないで
雪化粧についた足跡が消える頃に　零れた涙

sono egao no imi wo wakaru toki ga kitara
mou kore ijou furimukanaide
yukigeshou ni tsuita ashiato ga kieru koro ni koboreta namida

When I understand what your smile meant,
I won’t look back again.
When the footprints on the snow disappear, so too will the tears I have shed.

朝をまつ遠い空に　そっと面影を見せた
失うことを恐れて　触れられはしない

asa wo matsu tooi sora ni sotto omokage wo miseta
ushinau koto wo osorete furerare wa shinai

I quietly showed myself beneath a sky still awaiting dawn.
Afraid of loss, I won’t let myself be touched.

過去に残してきた　悔しさを背負って　立ち止まっているの

kako ni nokoshite kita kuyashisa wo seotte tachidomatte iru no

Bearing regrets I left behind in the past, I stand still.

心の中はずっと　春を向かえられず
孤独な時間だけが永遠に
あの時消えていった足跡を掘り返してる
進まない　時の中で

kokoro no naka wa zutto haru wo mukaerarezu
kodoku na jikan dake ga eien ni
ano toki kiete itta ashiato wo horikaeshiteru
susumanai toki no naka de

I unable to face spring inside my heart,
I spend time in silence, forever.
I dig up those footprints, which once vanished,
And time stands still.

心についた傷の　治し方もわからず
何もしないのは　自分への戒め
壁に背を向けて　俯いていても
変われない　さあカギをあけて

kokoro ni tsuita kizu no naoshikata mo wakarazu
nani mo shinai no wa jibun e no imashime
kabe ni se wo mukete utsumuite ite mo
kawarenai saa kagi wo akete

Without knowing how to heal the wounds in my heart.
I do nothing, aiming to punish myself.
Though I face my back to the wall and look downwards,
I cannot change. Come, turn the key!

その笑顔の意味を　わかる時がきたら
もうこれ以上振り向かないで
記憶に残した足跡を辿っていくよ
春を届けに

sono egao no imi wo wakaru toki ga kitara
Mou kore ijou furimukanaide
kioku ni nokoshita ashiato wo tadotte iku yo
haru wo todoke ni

When I understand what your smile meant,
I won’t look back again.
I’m going to follow those footprints, left behind in my memories.
I’m going to deliver spring.

I gathered up the words that you loved
And they became like debris, burying my heart.

The waves of regret that passed from your cold fingertips
Exposed my foolishness.

My heart lies inside ice
And words are far away.
A tender voice ties me down
And like that, the ice dissolves.
If you’ll forgive me for everything…
Then I want you to touch me again.
In an instant, I wished only for that.

冷たい指先から伝わった君の声が

Your voice, which passed through your cold fingers,
Enveloped my small hands.

The purpose I fought against
Returns once more to emptiness.
Now, I only go through the same things again.
I want to see you right away. I want to see you right away…
That tender voice remains here, in me.

I fly forwards, high in the air.
I fly higher, heading above the clouds.
The moment I divide this boundary,
Something will be undone.

咲くことのない　夢を探したなら

If I have searched inside a dream, with no hope of blooming,
Then I will release that seal.

Circle: TAMAONSEN (魂音泉)
Event: C79
Original Theme: Great Fairy Wars ~ Fairy Wars [妖精大戦争 ～ Fairy Wars]

Requested by: Komii Kozomii

Some more rap from TAMAONSEN. This seems to be the base track of Parfect Mic Reeeeeeeeelay!! [which takes this and dials it up to 11]. As with most TAMAONSEN tracks, the original lyrics place a heavy emphasis on the sound of the words and how they rhyme together, which doesn’t always translate to English very well.

I managed to get permission from TAMAONSEN to upload English translations, but they never responded when I tried to get permission to upload the original lyrics/romaji as well… I kind of get the feeling that they’re okay with it, but if the lyrics/romaji disappear, you’ll know why.

As you know,
It’s fabulous and miraculous, though it’s superfluous.
****ed-up MCs take this perfect freeze “99999”
I’ll sacrifice all my lives in the ice, then slice!

Give us high-scale explosions and cheers (fairy wars)
The idiots gather and pierce through the night with their grand war games (fairy wars)

君の心見透かす　up-tempo corobeatsが
何度だって転び掴む　その喜びに　いつか
望むなら歌を添えて Swingin’ like this like that

kimi no kokoro misukasu up-tempo corobeats ga
nando datte korobi tsukamu sono yorokobi ni itsuka
nozomu nara uta wo soete Swingin’ like this like that

The up-tempo corobeats can see through your heart.
No matter how many times, he’ll fall and pick up happiness. And in it, someday—
If you want, he’ll add a song in as well, swingin’ like this like that.

完璧なフリして　凍らす涙
声出してみな　ほらJust turn it up
イージーシューターのままかスターになるか
燃やすスタミナ　もうラスト・ターミナル

kanpeki na furi shite korasu namida
koe dashite mina hora Just turn it up
iijiishuutaa no mama ka sutaa ni naru ka
moyasu sutamina mou rasuto taaminaru

Pretending everything’s perfect, my tears freeze.
Everyone, raise your voices! Come, just turn it up!
Will I stay an easy shooter, or will I become a star?
My energy’s aflame. We’ve reached the last terminal…

あ？誰がバカだって？　もっぺん言ってみ
”No pain no gain”ならGive some more pain to me
せんせんふこくする！弾幕とマイク手に
Let’s get this started

a? dare ga baka datte? moppen ittemi
“No pain no gain” nara Give some more pain to me
sensen fukoku suru! danmaku to maiku te ni
Let’s get this started

Hm? Who’d you call an idiot! Just try and say it again!
If it’s “no pain, no gain,” then give me some more pain!
I’ll declare war! With bullets, and with the mic in my arm…
Let’s get this started!

Wars!! Every single day will just flow
Wars!! Gotta turn it up, dance with snow

Wars! Every single day will just flow.
Wars! Gotta turn it up and dance with the snow.

凍るようなぬくもり
君が溶ける前に
どこまで連れていけるだろう？
そんな夢を見たんだ

kooru you na nukumori
kimi ga tokeru mae ni
doko made tsurete ikeru darou?
sonna yume wo mita nda

It’s freezing sort of warmth.
Before you melt away,
How much further can I take you?
That’s what I dreamt of.

Wars!! It’s like walking on ice floe
Wars!! Don’t stand in my way, let go
内心　隠せん苦悩　狼煙上がる各戦区の状況
切り裂くレスポンス　超ドッキリ炸裂ボム
ごった返すサークル集う　お互い無策 Let’s GO
(灼熱のサンバーストをone verseでFreeeeeeeeeze!!)

Wars!! It’s like walking on ice floe
Wars!! Don’t stand in my way, let go
naishin kakusen kunou noroshi agaru kakusenku no joukyou
kirisaku resuponsu chou dokkiri sakuretsu bomu
gotta kaesu saakuru tsudou otagai musaku Let’s GO
(shakunetsu no sanbaasuto wo one verse de Freeeeeeeeeze!!)

Wars! It’s like walking on an ice floe.
Wars! Don’t stand in my way, let go.
I can’t hide the suffering in my mind. I raise the beacon and find out each sector’s situation.
A response torn to pieces. A hyper-shocked explosion bomb.
The confused groups gather together. We lack plans together, let’s go!
(In one verse, I’ll freeze that sunburst…!)

やる気殺いでくビーム　操る細い手首
圧し折ったら最強ね i don’ care i don’ care
ice, the innocent replies
Have got to revise and it’s gonna be nice
There’s no response

yaruki soideku biimu ayatsuru hosoi tekubi
heshiottara saikyou ne I don’ care I don’ care
ice, the innocent replies
Have got to revise and it’s gonna be nice
There’s no response

The beam chips away at my motivation. Her small wrist manipulates it.
If I break it, I’m the strongest! I don’t care, I don’t care!
Ice, the innocent replies
I’ve gotta revise them, and it’s gonna be nice.
There’s no response.

Heeeeey! Bring it on, the Fairy Wars
bell,coro and tama on the set
Heeeeey we don want’em wit any words
Thus,sortie out!!⑨ quartet

Hey! Bring on the Fairy Wars,
bell, coro and tama are on set!
Hey, we don’t want them with any words
Thus sortie out, ⑨ quartet!

凍りついた心が　溶かされてくアイロニー
迎えに行くよ　いつか見た夢の中へ

koori tsuita kokoro ga tokasareteku aironii
mukae ni iku yo itsuka mita yume no naka e

My frozen heart is thawed by irony.
I’m going to meet you in that dream I had one day.

こおりついたこのてで
きみをだきしめるよ
とけないのに　あたたかい
そんなゆめをみたの

koori tsuita kono te de
kimi wo dakishimeru yo
tokenai noni atatakai
sonna yume wo mita no

I embrace you
In my frozen hands.
I don’t melt, though you’re warm.
That’s what I dreamt of.

Heeeeey! Bring it on, the Fairy Wars
bell,coro and tama on the set
Heeeeey we don want’em wit any words
Thus,sortie out!!⑨ quartet

Hey! Bring on the Fairy Wars,
bell, coro and tama are on set!
Hey, we don’t want them with any words
Thus sortie out, ⑨ quartet!

(Hey) lalala…
(Hey) lalala…

shizumare zawameku mune no oto me wo tsumuru kokoro hirake
mugen no ichibyou fuminarase dare ga tame ni tobou
Get Ready Go

The sounds of my heart sink and stir. My eyes darken, and I open my heart.
I stamp my feet in that infinite second. I fly for someone’s sake.
Get ready… go!

どこかで感じてる？つないだ指先を
カウントダウン hurry up!
お待ちかね？すぐ行くよ　って

dokoka de kanjiteru? tsunaida yubisaki wo

Do you feel our linked fingertips somewhere?
Countdown. Hurry up!
“You’ve been waiting, right? We’ll head off right away!” You said.

宇宙へも砂漠へも　飛べれば迷わない
訳あり　恋の予感　まとめれば 君のため　って

uchuu e mo sabaku e mo tobereba mayowanai
wake ari koi no yokan matomereba kimi no tame tte

If I fly to space, or to the desert, I won’t go astray.
I have a reason, and I feel a premonition of love. All in all, I’m doing it for you!

とことん頭使えども　広がる青に路なし
立ち向かえ　もっと　ギリギリと高速の FIGHT

tokoton atama tsukaedomo hirogaru ao ni michi nashi
tachimukae motto giri giri to kousoku no FIGHT

Though I use my head, there’s no path in this expanse of blue.
I go against it! Even more! I fight at high speed, at the last minute!

飛びたて　まだ見ぬ領域へ
研ぎ澄ませ　はしれ in my head
未来へ　明日へ
守りたい　強くなる　飛べる　もっと！もっと！

tobitate mada minu ryouiki e
togisumase hashire in my head
mirai e ashita e
mamoritai tsuyoku naru toberu motto! motto!

I leap off towards an area I haven’t seen yet.
I sharpen my weapon and run in my head.
Towards the future, towards tomorrow.
I want to protect it. I will grow stronger. I’ll fly! More! More!

飛び交う難関に　愛して乱れ撃ち (show time!)
貴方の笑顔　それは
当然　胸にいますって shooting!

tobikau nankan ni aishite midareuchi (show time!)
anata no egao sore wa
touzen koko ni imasu tte shooting!

I fly about with difficulty. I love you and pound randomly. (Show time!)
Saying that, of course,
Your love is here in my heart, I shoot!

涙で見えぬ決意など　聳える青に意味ない
本音出せ　もっと　バリバリと全開のAI

namida de mienu ketsui nado sobieru ao ni imi nai
honne dase motto bari bari to zenkai no AI

I couldn’t see my resolution through my tears. There’s no meaning to this towering blue.
Show me your true feelings! More! Love tears into full throttle.

綺麗な夕陽に　サヨナラを　言うぐらい
罪な say good luck
望みは届ける場所に在る　翼　甦れ！my dear heart

kirei na yuuhi ni sayonara wo iu gurai
tsumi na say good luck
nozomi wa todokeru basho ni aru tsubasa yomigare! my dear heart

In the light of the beautiful setting sun, I say goodbye.
It’s a crime. I say good luck.
In the place where my wishes are delivered, my wings come back to life! My dear heart.

生命をもやせ　声に出せ　ココロを背負い　在るモノ
はばたける　もっと　エンジンは君からの愛

inochi wo moyase koe ni dase kokoro wo seoi aru mono

I burn my life. I speak. My heart bears something.
I flap my wings. Even more! My engine is the love I receive from you.

沈まれ　ざわめく　胸の音　目を暝る　ココロ開け

月影に舞う細い指
ずっと護っていられるのなら…

tsukikage ni mau hosoi yubi
zutto mamotte irareru no nara…

Thin fingers dance in the moonlight.
If I can protect you, always…

刹那、時間を止めて
瞼に刻むの
ああ…夢は無情

setsuna, toki wo tomete
mabuta ni kizamu no
aa… yume wa mujou

For an instant, I stop time
And carve it into my eyelids.
Aah… Dreams are cruel.

この命が散る最期の日まで
あなたの為に咲く花になろう
I will follow you 誓うたかが一瞬
叶う宛て無き願いでも

kono inochi ga chiru saigo no hi made
anata no tame ni saku hana ni narou
I will follow you chikau taka ga isshun
kanau atenaki negai demo

Until my last day, when my life scatters away,
I shall become a flower that blooms for you.
I will follow you. It takes but a moment to make that vow,
Even if my wish has no hope of being granted.

永遠にこの瞳を 閉じたその先もずっと
あなたが笑顔でいられるように

eien ni kono hitomi wo tojita sono saki mo zutto
anata ga egao de irareru you ni

I closed my eyes for eternity, and even after that
I pray that you will be able to live with a smile.

肩に感じるぬくもりの
小さな鼓動… 愛しさ痛む

kata ni kanjiru nukumori no
chiisana kodou… itoshisa itamu

The small beats of the warmth
I feel at my shoulder… Their beauty hurts.

零れた時間束ね
花飾りにしよう
ああ…胸に秘めて

koboreta tokitaba ne
hana kazari ni shiyou
aa… mune ni himete

I bundle up the time that spilled.
I shall turn it into a bouquet.
Aah… I hide it in my chest.

あなたが闇に迷わないように
華麗に閃く火華になろう
I am like a flower けどされど一瞬
この運命（さだめ）を生き抜きましょう

anata ga yami ni mayowanai you ni
karei ni hirameku hibana ni narou
I am like a flower kedo saredo isshun
kono sadame wo ikinukimashou

So you won’t lose your way in the darkness,
I shall become a firework, flashing splendidly.
I am like a flower. But just for a moment
I shall try to live through this fate…

想い枯れ果て朽ちても
あなたの心の中
甘い果実を結びますように

omoi karehate kuchitemo
anata no kokoro no naka
amai kajitsu wo musubimasu you ni

Even if my feelings wither completely,
I pray they will bear sweet fruit
Inside your heart…

この命が散る最期の日まで
あなたの為に咲く花になろう
I will follow you 誓うたかが一瞬
叶う宛て無き願いでも

kono inochi ga chiru saigo no hi made
anata no tame ni saku hana ni narou
I will follow you chikautaka ga isshun
kanau atenaki negai demo

Until my last day, when my life scatters away,
I shall become a flower that blooms for you.
I will follow you. It takes but a moment to make that vow,
Even if my wish has no hope of being granted.

あなたが闇に迷わないように
華麗に閃く火華になろう
I am like a flower けどされど一瞬
この運命（さだめ）を生き抜きましょう

anata ga yami ni mayowanai you ni

I shall become a firework, flashing splendidly.
I am like a flower. But just for a moment
I shall try to live through this fate…

永遠にこの瞳を 閉じたその先もずっと
