I don’t normally do this, but two lines have been bolded. I suspect that the lyrics source isn’t based on the official lyrics, but I don’t have firm proof. I couldn’t make heads or tails of the two lines I bolded, so please bear that in mind. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of those lines since they’re so weird.

君の　ことを　知りたいよう
どんな　ふうに　生きてきたのかと
僕は　なにも 知らなくて
朝も　夜もどない世界で

kimi no koto o shiritai you
donna fuu ni ikite kita no ka to
boku wa nani mo shiranakute
asa mo yoru mo donai sekai de

I want to know more about you
like how you’ve lived your life until now.
I don’t know anything
about morning, night, or the world I’m in.

愛するということが　大切なことだと
いつになれば　僕にもそれがわかるのかな
お　広い広い世界で　君しか知らなくて
僕はなむなのだのを　なにがをもとめてた

ai suru to iu koto ga taisetsu na koto da to
itsu ni nareba boku ni mo sore ga wakaru no kana
o hiroi hiroi sekai de kimi shika shiranakute
boku wa namu nano da no o nani ga o motometeta

They say loving things is important.
When will I understand that, too?
Oh… In this vast, vast world, all I know is you.
I searched for something, for my absent name.

君は　なにを　みているの
朝も　夜も　なくした世界
夢に踊ることが　必要なことだと
どんなぼくにぼくでも　それがわかるのかな
今見ていうとな世界が　そらしきいのかされも
僕はまだ知らなくて　なにがをさがしてた

kimi wa nani o mite iru no
asa mo yoru mo nakushita sekai
yoru ni odoru koto ga hitsuyou na koto da to
donna boku ni boku demo sore ga wakaru no kana
ima mite iu to na sekai ga sorashikii no kasare mo
boku wa mada shiranakute naniga o sagashiteta

What are you looking at
in a world that has lost both day and night?
They say it’s necessary to dance in dreams.
What kind of person will I need to be to understand that?
The world I gaze upon is full of things left behind.
I didn’t know yet, so I searched for something.

Original Theme: Bell of Avici ~ Infinite Nightmare [無間の鐘 ～ Infinite Nightmare]

Requested by: Juce Guildez

遠く高く伸ばした手の行き先など、誰にも分からない

tooku takaku nobashita te no yukisaki nado, dare nimo wakaranai

Nobody knows where their hands, which reach high into the distance, will end up.

姑息なアリバイに消えた　曖昧なmessage
うらぶれたように響く無間の鐘
隠されちゃいないだろう　そこに真実なんて
昇りつめた奈落と踊れ

kosoku na aribai ni kieta aimai na message
urabureta you ni hibiku muken no kane
kakusarecha inai darou soko ni shinjitsu nante
nobori tsumeta naraku to odore

A vague message vanished into an underhanded alibi.
The Bell of Avici pealed in its timeworn way.
There’s no way anything like the truth is hidden there.
You climbed to the top—now dance with Hell!

きっといつか仮初の快楽に溺れる日が来ても
君よどうか忘れないでいて
追憶に彩られたI miss you

kitto itsuka karisome no kairaku ni oboreru hi ga kitemo
kimi yo douka wasurenai de ite
tsuioku ni irodorareta I miss you

Even if the day comes for me to drown in fleeting pleasure,
Please! Don’t forget about me.
Coloured by my recollections, I miss you.

Reach to the sky　その果てに何かが
このデタラメな現実を繋いでいても
あの空掴むまで離さない
曳光弾の行方に沿って彷徨いながら
希望と絶望の狭間　いま確かめあってface to face
瞬く世界へ翔び立て

Reach to the sky sono hate ni nanika ga
kono detarame na genjitsu o tsunaide itemo
ano sora tsukamu made hanasanai
eikoudan no yukue ni sotte samayoi nagara
kibou to zetsubou no hazama ima tashikame atte face to face
matataku sekai e tobitate

Reach to the sky. At its end,
Something ties it to this nonsense world.
Still, I won’t let go until I lay my hands on the distant sky
while I roam along the star shell’s path,
In the threshold between hope and despair, we check with each other, face to face.
We set off in flight towards a twinkling world.

相克を写しだすphotograph　重なる境界線
あどけない顔で嗤うdouble spoiler
“神様のいうことなんて信じちゃいけないよ”だって
どうせ可愛い子ぶってるだけだから

soukoku o utsushi dasu photograph kasanaru kyoukaisen
adokenai kao de warau double spoiler
“kamisama no iu koto nante shinjicha ikenai yo” datte
douse kawaii ko butteru dake dakara

A photograph shows our rivalry, two boundary lines overlapping.
Laughing with an innocent smile, double spoiler.
“You mustn’t listen to what the gods say!”
Well, that’s because they’re just acting like a sweet girl.

きっといつか運命の悪戯に怯える日が来ても
君にどうか覚えていて欲しい
悲しみさえも厭わない背徳感

kitto itsuka unmei no itazura ni obieru hi ga kitemo
kimi ni douka oboete ite hoshii
kanashimi sae mo itowanai haitoku-kan

Even if the day comes for me to fear a twist of fate,
Please! I want you to remember me.
This feeling of immorality makes me not even shun sadness.

Into the sky　向かい風受けながら
一瞬だけでいい、スリルに体委ね
帰らない旅路でも構わない
終わりの来ないパーティーを二人楽しみましょう
嘘と虚飾にまみれ　いまぶつかりあってsay your prayers!
輝く夢追いかけ

Into the sky mukaikaze uke nagara
isshun dake de ii, suriru ni karada yudane
kaeranai tabiji demo kamawanai
owari no konai paatii o futari tanoshimimashou
uso to kyoshoku ni mamire ima butsukari atte say your prayers!
kagayaku yume oi kake

Into the sky I go, while being struck by the headwind.
Only a moment is enough. I surrender myself to thrills.
Even if I can’t return from this journey, I don’t care.
Let’s enjoy this endless party together!
Covered in lies and pretences, we clash together now. Say your prayers!
I chase after a shining dream.

たゆたう意識の向こう側「とても綺麗だ。」
鏈れて弾けた幻影-まぼろし-

tayutau ishiki no mukou-gawa “totemo kirei da.”

On the other side of my drifting consciousness, “It’s really pretty.”
The illusion was chained, then it burst open.

Reach to the sky　その果てに何かが
このデタラメな現実を繋いでいても
あの空掴むまで離さない

In the threshold between hope and despair, we check with each other, face to face.

Original Theme: A Maiden’s Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy [少女幻葬 ～ Necro-Fantasy]

Requested by: mr.deagle

This track continues the tradition of lyricists writing one thing, and then having the vocalist sing something else. This time, I put the written words in brackets. Let me know if that works for you – though upgrades to WordPress have made some things easier, it’s made other things (like strikethroughs and footnotes) a bit harder to do than before…

少女は夢(まぼろし)から覚め行く
海に浮かぶ町(ラビリンス)なのか
ゆめうつつに
溺れて境目(はざま)へ
儚げな少女(うつしみ )はどこへゆく　
ドクンドクンドクん
かほそい首　絞められ
抗えず　静かに震える
危ない香りはっす人形

hakanage na utsushimi wa doko e yuku
dokun dokun dokun
kahosoi kubi shimerare
aragaezu shizuka ni furueru
abunai kaori hassu ningyou

The maiden wakes from her illusion (dream).
Is this a labyrinth (town) floating in the sea?
She is half awake and half asleep,
Sinking toward the threshold (boundary).
Where does her transient body (the maiden) head to?
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Her thin neck is constricted.
She trembles silently, without resisting.
The doll emits a dangerous scent.

Curtsyのあとは

After curtsying,
A rondo, with romance undisguised, begins.
Right before the baisemain,
I do not even refuse the sky I was entranced with.
In this dream (illusion), which is even more real,
I want to embrace you once more.

Even if I don’t get it,
Everything is a rehearsal.
There’s nobody in this world who has danced
with reality.
Perhaps we are in the dream of someone who is drunk somewhere.

Gazing up, alone,
The maiden looks upon a world as it ends.
Bearing pride,
She considers the heavens.
She waits for someone
who will shout out their love.
They are a yet distant dream.

A maiden’s illusory funeral.
It is an eternal law that dreams should end while still dreams.
The end of illusions.
This is, after all, deus ex machina set up by God.

The sage (youkai) dreamed of half a life
as they continued to watch the secret barrier (world).
If we will meet again,
It will be in the next illusion (dream)
I will embrace the illusion I dreamed of once more.

そして知る

Thus, I know
that I, too, am a single cog in this contraption (dream).
Though I may wake,
I can no longer escape from this eternal illusion.

She breaks down and cries.
The tears of her pitiful living body (the pitiful maiden) pierce through fences within fences.
Half awake, half asleep.
While holding you close, I steep myself in the next catacombe (dream).

Requested by: Spoondere

（非公式の）英訳だけです。申し訳ありません。

The interesting thing about this track is that it seems to be sung from the perspective of both Renko and Merry, but they’re searching for someone. Perhaps they’re searching for the stars…?

Are the distant stars still shining prettily?
I think about things like that and stare…

My bangs, swaying in the night wind, are just a little ticklish.
The answer is so simple I could laugh.

It’s because after a little time passes
this distance must lessen.

We’re searching for shooting stars.
I want to wish for this story to never end. If my wish will come true, it will last forever
My heart is weightless. It’s good to be free.
I’m waiting! Waiting for the day when you’ll find me…

How far can people advance into the distant space?
In those days, I thought about such things seriously.

(And) distinguished people thought about it, too. (Then,) they derived an answer:
“Without gravity, humans can jump over the stars.”

My strong desires and wishes are granted. They overflow.

We’re searching for signposts.
I want to write down an unwavering tale. If my wish will be granted, I’ll do it forever…
My heart is limitless. It’s good to be carefree.
Wait for me! Wait for the day when I’ll come and get you…

I want to find you…

So come on, let’s look up at the night sky!
I hope our gazes won’t go astray. If you want your dream to come true, don’t give up!
Our hearts will leap over the stars. In the end, they’ll reach you.

We’re searching for shooting stars.
“If only there was no gravity…” Those sorts of excuses won’t take shape anymore!
With my feet on the ground, I’ll start walking now!
I can finally touch you. I found your beautiful radiance!

If I had to describe this track in a single word, I’d say it’s… ethereal. It feels like there’s 2 Doremys, but that may not necessarily be the case.

星も光らない
人混み　通って
呼吸して　僅か

hoshi mo hikaranai

The stars do not shine.
I pass through a crowd of people,
Letting out a faint sigh.

優しく包まれ
黒い海に
「孤独さえも忘れる」と

I’m wrapped up tenderly
by a dark ocean.
“You’ll forget even your loneliness…”

深い夢に

造夢少女（ぞうむしょうじょ）

The maiden
who makes dreams for herself
falls into a deep dream.
She slowly opened her eyes.

その手に溢れるは
傷だらけか　それとも　しずく？
手を伸ばしたら全てが作れると僕は信じてた
けど言葉のかけらが
夢の景色を　ただ　語って

sono te ni afureru wa
kizu darake ka sore tomo shizuku?
te o nobashitara subete ga tsukureru to boku wa shinjiteta
kedo kotoba no kakera ga

Something overflows in her hands…
Is it wounds, or tears?
I believed that if I stretched out my hands, I could make everything.
But the fragments of words
just narrate a landscape of dreams.

暁の刻よ

Dawn is here.
Truth and lies intersect.
The girl in my dream
concealed herself, too.
At that moment
my dream became a spring dream
though my sorrow
still does not vanish.

夜が部屋に満ちて
世界はだれも知らない  ままで

Night fills my room
and the world remains unknown to all.
But “beneath”,
What truth lies hidden?
Nightmares prowl wildly.
The wind’s musical notes
spell a tale of dreams unknown to all.
They don’t leave tears behind.

そばにいて

Be by my side
‘outside’ the ‘world.’ (1)
The wind may blow
but my tears are warm.
For just now,
Embrace me
in an eternal spring dream
I cannot awaken from…

(1) This line is sung the other way around (‘sekai no sotogawa’), which changes the meaning to ‘outside the world.‘

The sun silently passes by the clouds

Now, a veil of darkness covers the land.

It’s never too late…!

The chorus seemed a bit curious to start off with, and I wasn’t too sure whether the first line was a command (release me!) or a statement of intent (I’ll release you!). Thinking over it again, though, it’s possible that the flame imagery actually refers to Mokou. That would make sense, given that Keine is probably the speaker.

予感に射たれ動き出した　無表情な群れの隅で
君は確かに示していた　眩い理想は打ち消されると

yokan ni utare ugokidashita muhyoujou na mure no sumi de
kimi wa tashika ni shimeshite ita mabayui yume wa uchikesareru to

Hit by a prediction, I began to move in a corner of a faceless crowd.
You certainly showed me that my radiant ideals would be denied.

In times of sorrow [They keep repeating]
And during this endless war,
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late.”

愛をなくした時代の果てで解き放て
縛られたすべてを　焼け付くほど　そうさ
傷付いた羽根で　太陽よりも激しく

ai wo nakushita jidai no hate de tokihanate
shibarareta subete wo yaketsuku hodo sou sa
kizu tsuita hane de taiyou yori mo hageshiku

Set me free at the end of an age that has lost its love!
Burn all the things that bound me. Yes—
Beat your wounded wings more fiercely than the sun!

刹那を謳う妄想家は　空の隙間を切り裂いた
君は確かに示していた　現在を生きてゆくしかないこと

setsuna wo utau mousouka wa sora no sukima wo kirisaita
kimi wa tashika ni shimeshite ita ima wo ikite yuku shika nai koto

The delusionist, singing for but a moment, tore the gaps in the sky to pieces.
You certainly told me that I would have no choice but to live in the present.

生まれた意味を＜問い掛けて＞
投げ捨てるには早過ぎて
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late”

umareta imi wo <toikakete>
nagesuteru ni wa haya sugite
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late”

It’s too soon [I keep asking]
To throw away the reason for my birth.
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late.”

愛をなくした神の支配を解き放て
人々の嘆きを　今届けてくれ
革命の夜に　連れて行ってくれ

ai wo nakushita kami no shihai wo tokihanate
hitobito no nageki wo ima todokete kure
kakumei no yoru ni tsurete itte kure

Release me from the rule of a God who has lost their love!
Now, I hope that the grief of the people will reach you.
Take me with you, during this night of revolution!

永遠など掻き消せばいい
愚かな未来への欲望さえ　操れはしないだろう
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late”

towa nado kaki keseba ii
oroka na asu e no yokubou sae ayatsure wa shinai darou
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late”

I should just erase eternity.
Even then, I suppose I cannot control the desire I have for the foolish future…
I don’t wanna say “It’s too late.”

愛をなくした時代の果てで追い掛けて
輝いたすべてを　狂おしいほど

ai wo nakushita jidai no hate de oikakete
kagayaita subete wo kuruoshii hodo

I chase you to the edge of a world that lost its love.
Everything shone to the point of madness…

愛をなくした神の支配を解き放て
人々の嘆きを　今届けてくれ
革命の夜に　連れて行ってくれ　彼方へ

ai wo nakushita kami no shihai wo tokihanate
hitobito no nageki wo ima todokete kure
kakumei no yoru ni tsurete itte kure kanata e

Release me from the rule of a God who has lost their love!
Now, I hope that the grief of the people will reach you.
Take me with you, during this night of revolution, into the distance!

It seems as though the spider, who wants to lure her prey into her web, is herself lured in…

「Ah　まだ誰にも　見せない　感情
それを　君に見せよう」甘く囁いた

“Ah mada dare nimo misenai kanjou
sore wo kimi ni miseyou” amaku sasayaita

“Ah. I still can’t show anyone this feeling.
But I’ll let you see it…” I sweetly whispered.

その言葉を　信じている
深くに　潜る　貴方は
いつしか　侵されてる

sono kotoba wo shinjite iru
fukaku ni moguru anata wa
itsu shika okasareteru

You believe those words
And dive deep down.
You’ll be invaded before you know it…

わたしの中のウィルスに

watashi no naka no uirusu ni

By the virus that lies within me.

蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　貴方は　見惚れる
蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　貴方を　操りたい

kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata wa mitoreru
kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata wo ayatsuritai

Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, you watch in fascination.
Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, I want to control you.

蜘蛛の毒が侵してゆく　貴方は　シビれる
蜘蛛の毒が犯してゆく　甘美な　過ち
蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　世界は　難儀だ
蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　貴方と　繋がる

kumo no doku ga okashite yuku anata wa shibireru
kumo no doku ga okashite yuku kanbi na ayamachi
kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni sekai wa nangi da
kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata to tsunagaru

The spider’s poison invades you. You grow numb.
The spider’s poison violates you. This is a sweet sin…
Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, this world is full of hardships.
Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, I tie myself to you.

Ah　また一人で　飲み込む　感傷
罪は　君を求める　甘い考えだ

Ah mata hitori de nomikomu kanshou
tsumi wa kimi wo motomeru amai kangae da

Ah… I swallow down my sentimentality alone again.
My crime is wanting you. What a naive thought.

まだ私を　信じている
馬鹿だと　言うと　笑うの
私も　侵されてる

mada watashi wo shinjite iru
baka da to iu to warau no
watashi mo okasareteru

You still believe me.
You smile when I tell you you’re foolish.
I’m being invaded, too…

貴方の中のウィルスに

anata no naka no uirusu ni

By the virus that lies within you.

蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　貴方に　見惚れる
蜘蛛の糸に絡まる様に　貴方に　愛されたい

kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata ni mitoreru
kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata ni aisaretai

Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, I’m charmed by you.
Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, I want to be loved by you.

kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni sekai wa nangi da
kumo no ito ni karamaru you ni anata to tsunagaru

The spider’s poison invades you. I grow numb with you.
The spider’s poison violates you. This is a sweet sin…
Like being entangled in a spider’s threads, this world is full of hardships.

（非公式の）英訳だけです。申し訳ありません。

This song just made me think of a swarm of mini-Nazrins, running around in someone’s head and digging up all their forgotten memories. How random…

Just like this, I’ve walked thousands of steps with you.
Our strides don’t match. Though I’m astounded, I still run.

Lies and truth are everything in memories.
Grumbling and sighs are the true signs of happiness.

Above a bow of colours,
I’ll cross over even that puddle of mirror glass.
It’s always the same. We hesitate
And listen to odd noises.

I crossed over an infinite sea and seized memories of the past,
Yet my pendulum still dances.
No matter how many times you get mad at me,
I guess you’ll forget all about it soon.

You were always flustered, and your days were full of failure.
I’m the only one who will remember the past you’ve forgotten.

You always smiled and acted tough. And with your hands,
You will tamper with the future I yearned for. So…

Two points crossed over the green sea touched by the morning dew.
Side by side, they hid something white.
They wrote it down in a notebook and left it behind.

Now, too,
I cannot touch those infinite fragments.
Even my pendulum laughs.
No matter how many times you cry,
I guess you’ll forget about it someday.
Ah…

It would be better if the epilogue never arrives.
Still, things will begin to come to an end one day in the future.
God – I have but one prayer. Please answer it. Please…

The miracle you gave me makes even yesterday and today
Vanish into distant memories.
I kept following the tracks, thinking I could see my final destination.
Tomorrow, I’ll set off at high speed
Heading for the first station, a place not on any map.
