crystal scherzo Announcement #8

It's been awhile since I posted about manga and scanslations…

 

It seems that arrangements for editors and typesetters and such have fallen through. soothsayer is busy with work and I've hardly talked to her in the last few months. This means I am the only person on the project again.

 

As much as I wish I had time to do everything myself (really, I do) the fact is that I need to start focusing more on school and I can't be editing and typesetting as well as translating and scripting. I've become wary of taking other people for the projects, since they seem half-hearted about it.

 

So, I've decided that I will just be doing scripts for now. These will be able to come out much faster since they won't be relying on image editing and typesetting to be released. If another group wishes to use my scripts for their scanslation, I will ask that they contact me first. People do notice if you steal translations, however much you may think they don't.

 

I have a lot to do over Christmas break, but I'll hope I can get at least the scripts for the next chapters of Monochrome Factor and Number out by the end of the month.

 

Cheers, and thanks for sticking with me.

Worthless War Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "Worthless War" from their single "REGRET".  This song is a cry out against the wars fought in these days which are mostly lost causes. I feel Japan has a right to complain, since they aren't allowed to shoot even if they are shot at, and Ruki does a very eloquent but blunt job of stating his feelings in this song.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company.

 

 

 

~.oOOo.~

REGRET

 

 

Worthless War
I know last days

 

By bomb of autocracy
The smile of people dies
By Dirty hand of autocracy
The black sphere is turning

 

やられる前に撃ち抜くのか
それを奴は正義と呼ぶのか
己にかかる血 己で拭えず
A sacrifice is countless
嘆く者に救いの手出さず
過保護に眠り偽善と交尾
奴は愚かな平和の象徴
A sacrifice is countless
Yarareru mae ni uchinuku no ka
Sore wo yatsu ha seigi to yobu no ka
Onore ni kakaru chi Onore de nuguezu
A sacrifice is countless
Nageku mono ni sukui no tedasazu
Kabogo ni nemuri gizen to koubi
Yatsu ha oroka na heiwa no shouchou
Will you shoot out before you're even able?
You call that sort of thing righteous?
The blood you spill like that can't clean your name.
A sacrifice is countless.
You don't help those that wail with grief,
But give excessive care to sleeping in hypocrisy and copulation.
Someone like that is a poor symbol of peace.
A sacrifice is countless.

 

Honor...glory
鼓膜に残る爆撃音が
眠れぬ夜を恐怖心に変えた
結ぶ手と手 常に交渉
癪に触れば突っ込むぜTaepodong
破り捨てた[A]nti-[B]allistic[M]issile [T]rety
二度と御免だNine eleven
But泣くのは市民だけさ
横暴な手段が招くは絶望
despair
Honor...glory
Komaku ni nokoru bakugekioto ga
Nemurenu yoru wo kyoufushin ni kaeta
Musubu te to te Tsune ni ikoushou
Shaku ni sawareba tsukkomu ze Taepodong
Yaburi suteta ABMT
Nido to gomen da Nine eleven
But naku no ha shimin dake sa
Oubou na shudan ga maneku ha zetsubou
despair
Honor...glory
The sounds of bombing raids that remain in my eardrum
Change the night in which I can't sleep into terror.
Bound hand and hand, you're always just negotiating.
Taepodong will be thrust into us if we so much as step out of line,
Since they've escaped from the [A]nti-[B]allistic [M]issile [T]reaty.
I'll apologize again for Nine eleven,
But the only ones who will cry will be the citizens.
Violent means invite despair
despair

 

退廃した地 焼け焦げた影
犠牲の叫びは止まぬ
降り注ぐ灰 奪われた明日に
涙さえ流さぬくせに
Taihai shita chi Yakekogeta kage
Gisei no sakebi ha yamanu
Furisosogu hai Ubawareta myounichi ni
Namida sae nagasanu kuse ni
Corrupted earth, scorched shadows.
The cries of the victims won't cease.
Ash pours down incessantly in the days stolen from us
Even though our tears can't fall.

 

Worthless war continues...
KBK sleep on a bed...
Worthless war continues...
commit suicide and compensate people.

 

退廃した地 未だ残る
抉れた傷は無意味で
黒い雨に濡れた記憶が
価値無き争いを生むだけ
Taihai shita chi mada nokoru
Egureta kizu ha muimi de
Kuroi ame ni nureta kioku ga
Atainaki arasoi wo umu dake
Still left behind is the corrupted earth.
These wounds have no more meaning.
The memories drenched in the black rain
Birth nothing but worthless battles.

 

Worthless war continues...
KBK sleep on a bed...
Worthless war continues...
commit suicide and compensate people.

VERMIN Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "VERMIN" from their single "Red". This song continues the thread of anger towards corporations that tie them down and manipulate them for their own gain. It's the third in a series, following "LEECH" and "HEADACHE MAN".

首に掛かったロープがギリギリと締まる
Black Fur Mask no shita no wana Odorasareteita

There's a Black Fur trap under that mask. I was made to dance.
The rope looped around my neck tightened almost too much.

Omoikaesu 1mm ni kurui naku sosogu chuuzuri no Rage
Looking back, it's just that 1mm that's infallible. My rage fills me as I

微量のLIE 飲み干す俺を笑う その目は濁りきり

Your little lies swallow me up and laugh. Your eyes are so unclear.
The round dance of betrayal... if I'd noticed it, I'd have washed your brain out.
How far did you tear me? I have the shortest bonds. Answer me, Vermin!
I neglect the three-minute-old gunshot wound, but I can't even see you.

The time I'll believe a traitor like you is far away.
You've disturbed my dreams too much.
Even now, you cling to my mind and I can't get away.
Before I sever you off, I'm going to crush you with my own hands.

While drowning in the rain I ask, am I a tool?

体温 Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "体温" ("Taion") from their studio album "NIL". 

It's often said by fans hat this song is about Furuta Junko, who was kidnapped and tortured for 44 days before her murder.*

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company.

Edit: I originally stated that the song was absolutely about Furuta Junko; Ruki has never confirmed this. I've now altered the text to reflect that this is a theory, rather than a sure fact.

 

 

~.oOOo.~

nil 

 

 

 

A wintry sky and the broken streetlight cold wind.
Unknown shadow the footprint of desertion.
Freedom was taken.

 

If it wakes up a gloomy ceiling.
A laughing voice sinks in the eardrum it is soiled.
And violence rapes me.

 

An understanding is impossible.
Why was I chosen ? Someone should answer ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

どうか酷い夢だと答えて欲しい
どれだけ叫び 悶え 苦しめばいい
どうか酷い夢だと教えて欲しい
ちぎれそうな声で何度も叫んだ
Dou ka hidoi yume da to kotaete hoshii
Dore dake sakebi Modae Kurushimeba ii
Dou ka hidoi yume da to oshiete hoshii
Chigiresou na koe de nando mo sakenda
Please, I want you to answer me and say that this is a cruel dream.
How long should I scream, writhe, and suffer...?
Please, I want you to tell me that this is a cruel dream.
I screamed it over and over with my voice, torn to pieces.

 

There is no hand of preparing of the disordered hair.
A laughing voice sinks in the eardrum a faint temperature is mixed in the
midwinter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

声を殺して枯れそうな自分に言い聞かせていた
生きる事を見失わぬよう
声を殺して震えた夜は痛みに溺れていく
途切れそうな息を許して...
Koe wo koroshite furesou na jibun ni iikikaseteita
Ikiru koto wo miushinawanu you
Koe wo koroshite furueta yoru ha itami ni oboreteiku
Togiresou na iki wo yurushite...
My voice dies, and I told myself,
"Don't lose sight of what it means to live."
The trembling night kills my voice, and I drown in pain.
Please forgive my fading breath...

 

どうか酷い夢だと答えて欲しい
どれだけ叫び 悶え 苦しめばいい
どうか酷い夢だと教えて欲しい
最後にもう一度だけ笑ってみたい
Dou ka hidoi yume da to kotaete hoshii
Dore dake sakebi Modae Kurushimeba ii
Dou ka hidoi yume da to oshiete yoshii
Saigo ni mou ichido dake warattemitai
Please, I want you to answer me and say that this is a cruel dream.
How long should I scream, writhe, and suffer...?
Please, I want you to tell me that this is a cruel dream.
In the end, I try to smile just once more.

 

 

 

 

Filth in the beauty Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "Filth in the beauty" from the single of the same name. This is the second song regarding incest, from an opposite angle of the earlier song "Sugar Pain". This one concerns father-daughter incest, and following Ruki's penchant for using real-life cases, is likely based on the Aizawa Chiyo case.

The reverse side of beauty

幻惑の海 沈んだ蛍
否定は欲求上の嘘
矛盾で染まる体温
理性を破る愛撫に
踊り溶け込む春は不意に
汚らわしく・・・

Genwaku no umi shizunda hotaru
Hitei ha yokkyuu ue no uso
Mujun de somaru taion
Risei wo yaburu aibu ni
Odoritokekomu haru ha fui ni
Kegarawashiku...
My mind which falls
A firefly sank into a sea of glamour.
You deny it, saying that you're above such desires,
But body temperature dyes you with contradiction.
Reason is torn to pieces with a caress.
Dancing, the melting spring suddenly
Is defiled....
My mind which falls

 

Your seed and my seed never mixes.
The connection of this blood is eternal.
You cannot finish suppressing the desire.
To true daughter... [Sexual disgrace]

 

吐息塞ぐ脈打つ 「飢え」 は
解り合えぬ紅蓮を求む
Toiki fusagu myakuutsu "ue" ha
Wakariaenu guren wo motomu
"Hunger", pulsing through my veins to stop my sighs,
Seeks for a crimson lotus that cannot be understood.

 

Closet mind is distorted instability.
please release me before breaking.
How long...
In humiliation
The countless fatal scar was born.

 

[Sexual disgrace]

 

Prohibited bud...
Reckless driving cucumber...
The kin' collapses...
Near relatives on death...
The smell of a cigarette smell breath & shit
Moment that bitter white jam is mixed
Inside of a brain caused an error
and goes mad by the sweet bug

 

首を這わす舌先と手
望む表情 紅蓮に染まれ
Kubi wo hawasu shitasaki to te
Nozomu hyoujou guren ni somare
Your hands and tongue crawl across my neck.
I'll dye your desiring expression to crimson.

 

Closet mind is distorted instability.
please release me before breaking.
So long...
In humiliation
The final art is your dead face

 

Dad which fell to the trap

AN UNBEARABLE FACT Translation

The darkness shut away in me rends my throat,
And in it I see
The love and hate that dangled there.

 

死と見つめ合い「果て」に触れる

Shi to mitsumeai "hate" ni fureru
Okizari no kibou ni kuruu ryoume
Gazing at "the end" and death, I touch it...
In the hopes I left behind, my eyes go mad.

Red Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "RED" from their recent single of the same name. It's a sad and yet beautifully hopeful love song, and I'm fairly fond of it. "Red" refers to the "red thread", which is something widely believed throughout Asia to be what connects soulmates. The singer of the song is love with someone that he doesn't have the red thread connection to, but he still wants to be with her. She, however, believes in the legend and won't stay with him because of it.

Reila Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "Reila" from the single of the same name. It is a terribly sad song, one of the few that I have seen Ruki cry during. It is a personal song of his, and I believe this is the reason it is almost never performed.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company.

出会ってからどれだけ同じ傷を負い

Riyuu nado iranai sa Tada boku no kimi wo kaeshitekurereba
From the time we met, how long did we bear the same scars,
How long did we support each other?
The times you hurt, I wanted you to tell me,
More than anyone else.
The truth is burned into my eyes. In the silence, what are you, who is motionless,
thinking of?
I don't need a reason for it. I just want you to return to me.

 

残された僕より無になった君は

Where did you go...?
I'm left alone again, and I have to run on my own, right?

Everything I patiently bore overflows.
They became my tears, and spilled over.

Dareyori mo kimi wo aishiteiru
Reila Reila wow Reila Reila
Aishiteiru. Aishiteiru.
Reila Reila wow Reila Reila
I didn't tell you these words...
Reila Reila wow Reila Reila
Now, I sing to you here.
Reila Reila wow Reila Reila
I love you more than anyone.
Reila Reila wow Reila Reila
I love you, I love you.

 

二人が居た部屋 今もそのまま
鍵もかけずに いつでも
君が帰って来れる様に
ずっと待ってるよ 理解ってるけど
今でも君がドアを開ける姿が見えるんだ
明日はきっと帰って来てくれるかな
Futari ga ita heya Ima mo sono mama
Kagi mo kakezu ni itsudemo
Kimi ga kaettekureru you ni
Zutto matteru yo. Wakatteru kedo
Ima demo kimi ga doa wo akeru sugata ga mieru n da.
Ashita ha kitto kaettekitekureru ka na.
We were in that room... now, it's like that, too.
You didn't even lock the door, like always.
I'll always be waiting
For you to come home to me. I understand, but,
Even now, I can see you opening the door.
Tomorrow, I wonder if you will come home to me.

Bath Room Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "Bath Room" from their studio album "DIM". The title refers to the setting of this song, where the singer has stumbled upon the murdered body of someone he loves. It's a very sad, heartwrenching story, and I find it very touching. It's one of my favourites from the album.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company.

眠れないのはなぜ? 静けさに酔いしれてた
湿った部屋で一人また 口ずさめば虚しく
眠れないのは何故? あなたが見えたから
視点は濡れた床 頭をかしげて眠ってる
Nemurenai no ha naze? Shizukesa ni yoishirete
Shimetta heya de hitori mata Kuchizusameba munashiku
Nemurenai no ha naze? Anata ga mieta kara
Shiten ha nureta yuka Atama wo kashigete nemutteru
Why can't I sleep? I was drunk on the silence.
Alone in this damp room again, it's vain for me to sing to myself.
Why can't I sleep? Because I could see you
On the wet floor, sleeping with your head tilted off to the side.

 

知りたくもないような現実にただ無感情で
声も出さずずっと  瞬きすら忘れて あなたに見蕩れていた
Shiritaku mo nai you na Genjitsu ni tada mukanjou de
Koe mo dasazu zutto Mabatakisura wasurete Anata ni mitoreita
Like I don't want to know, I'm just emotionless to reality.
You never even called out. I watched you, forgetting that moment.

 

眠ってしまいたい  目覚めだけを恐れて
全てを忘れたい  身勝手な戯言ね
あなたの名前を呼ぶ  寡黙に気がふれる
痩せた肩を掴み叫んだ  か細過ぎた温もりに
Nemutteshimaitai Mezame dake wo osorete
Subete wo wasuretai Migatte na tawagoto ne
Anata no namae wo yobu Kamoku ni ki ga fureru
Yasete kata wo tsukamisakenda  Kabososugita nukumori ni
I want to fall asleep... I'm only afraid of waking.
I want to forget everything, but that's just selfish, isn't it?
I called your name, silently going mad,
And seized your thin shoulder, screaming, as your warmth faded too far away.

 

知りたくもないような現実に深く心溺れ
唇を噛み堪えた涙さえ  意味が無いと知った
Shiritaku mo nai you na genjitsu ni fukaku kokoro obore
Kuchibiru wo kamitaeta namida sae Imi ga nai to shitta
Like I don't want to know, my heart drowns so deeply in reality.
Chewing my lip to withstand even the tears, I knew there was no meaning in it.

 

立ち尽くす僕の背後の声
吐き出す理由など  どうでもよかった
ただ  目の前のあなたがとても寂しそうな顔で
何一つ出来なかった 自分を死ぬ程憎んだ
Tachitsukusu boku no haigo no koe
Hakidasu riyuu nado Dou de mo yokatta
Tada Me no mae no anata ga totemo sabishisou na kao de
Nani hitotsu dekinakatta Jibun wo shinu hodo nikunda
Standing still, the back of my mind
Spits out all the reasons. That's fine,
But, in front of me, your face seems so lonely.
I couldn't do anything... I hated myself for it so much I'll die.

 

名前をくれた唯一のあなたへ  このまま傍に居てくれないか
そう  僕にとって最初で最後の優しき「母」
Namae wo kureta yuitsu no anata he Kono mama soba ni itekurenai ka
Sou Boku ni totte saishou de saigo no yasashiki "haha"
You, the only person who gave me a name, can I stay here by your side?
Yes... to me, you are my first, my last kind "mother".

 

白い壁にそっと  真っ赤な絵の具であなたを縁取った
まだ暖かい頬をすり寄せて  静かに笑ってみせよう
大粒の涙があなたと重なった   一つになれた気がした
目蓋を閉じ  温もりが消える頃  僕はあなたの傍で
Shiroi kabe ni sotto Makka na enogu de anata wo fuchidotta
Mada atatakai hoho wo suriyosete Shizuka ni warattemiseyou
Ootsubu no namida ga anata to kasanatta Hitotsu ni nareta ki ga shita
Mabuta wo toji Nukumori ga kieru koro Boku ha anata no soba de
Softly, I painted you onto the white wall with pure red colour.
Touching your still-warm cheek, I'll silently smile for you.
My large tears fell onto you, and seemed to become one with you.
I close my eyes, and when the warmth dies away, I'll be by you.

DESTINY -The Lovers- Translation

A translation of Versailles' "DESTINY -The Lovers-" from their newest single of the same name. This is their first release with new bassist Masashi, and represents their new era of music. It's a lovely song, and I see it as another song dedicated to Jasmine You. It is noticeably more positive than most of their ballads.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to Versailles and their label, Sherow Artist Society / Warner Music Japan.

響く足音が離れてゆく    雨は心さえ濡らして
抱えきれない孤独の薔薇を    飾るこの街の片隅に
Hibiku ashioto ga hanareteyuku Ame ha kokoro sae nurashite
Kakae kirenai kodou no bara wo Kazaru kono machi no katasumi ni
Parting from the echoing footsteps, and the rain will soak even my heart.
I decorate the corner of this city with an armful of the roses of my solitude.

 

静けさの中に溺れた    吐息は硝子細工のメロディ
触れたなら崩れ落ちて    あなたに二度と戻れない
Shizukesa no naka ni oboreta Toiki ha garasuzuiku no melody
Fureta nara kuzureochite Anata ni nido to modorenai
I drowned in the silence. My sigh is a melody of glasswork.
If I touch it, it will crumble away, and I won't be able to go back to you again.

 

愛する人    もしもあなたに出会う事がなければ
この痛みさえも    知らず誰かを    この手で傷つけていた
Ai suru hito Moshimo anata ni deau koto ga nakereba
Kono itami sae mo Shirazu dareka wo Kono te de kizutsuketeita
My beloved, if I had never met you,
I'd have inflicted this pain on countless others who do not know it.

 

 

 

 

流れ始めた時間と涙は硝子細工のメロディ
ひび割れた鏡の中にはもう    この姿さえも映らない
Nagarehajimeta jikan to namida ha garasuzuiku no melody
Hibiwareta kagami no naka ni ha mou Kono sugata sae mo utsuranai
The time that began to pass me by, and my tears, are the melody of glasswork.
The cracked mirror no longer reflects even my form.

 

傷だらけの心を隠す意味などない    見つめて
愛で抱きしめて    壊れ始めた    心が    枯れてゆくまで
Kizudarake no kokoro wo kakusu imi nado nai Mitsumete
Ai de dakishimete Kowarehajimeta Kokoro ga Kareteyuku made
There's no meaning in hiding a scarred heart. Gazing at my love,
I held it so tightly it began to break. Until my heart withers away,

 

一人にしないでくれ    隣で笑ってくれ
夜が明けるまで
Hitori ni shinai de kure Tonari de warattekure
Yoru ga akeru made
Please don't leave me alone. Please smile here next to me,
Until the night fades away.

 

 

 

 

過ぎ去った日々を見つめて    その傷に誓いと別れを
共に歩いてゆこう    どんな苦しみも抱きしめて
Sugisatta hibi wo mitsumete Sono kizu ni chikai to wakare wo
Tomo ni aruiteyukou Donna kurushimi mo dakishimete
Gazing at the wounds of the days that have passed us by, I see our oaths
and our farewells.
I'll walk on with them. No matter how painful it is, I'll hold tightly to them.

 

愛する人    もしもあなたに出会う事がなければ
この温もりさえ    知らなかった
この手で掴みたい…強く
Ai suru hito Moshimo anata ni deau koto ga nakereba
Kono nukumori sae Shiranakatta
Kono te de tsukamitai... tsuyoku
My beloved, if I had never met you,
I wouldn't have known this warmth.
I want to grasp it with this hand... so tightly.

 

輝く日々    それは過去ではなく未来にあるはずだから
Oh my destiny    愛する人よ    側にいて    枯れてゆくまで
Kagayaku hibi Sore ha kako de ha naku mirai ni aru hazu dakara
Oh my destiny Ai suru hito yo Soba ni ite Kareteyuku made
Those shining days are not in the past, but the future.
Oh my destiny... My beloved, I'm here by your side until I wither away.

DIM SCENE Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "DIM SCENE" from their studio album "DIM". Uruha has called this song "the end credits to the story of DIM" and it is the piece that all members of the band are most impressed with. Ruki has woven the stories of almost all the other songs on the album into the lyrics of this one to paint a complete scene of the dim world the album is meant to portray. Let's see if you can figure out which lines refer to which songs~

DIM
dimscene


 

嘲笑い過ぎた所為でその希求や価値は抜け落ち
隣で眠る断絶は愚行 そう 崩れてく情景の意味を朽ちてく意味を
群がる鴉の元へ 鳴き止む迄 零に逃避する数は追う
歪に曲がるあるべき姿は縫い合わせる程深く解ける
Azawaraisugita sei de sono kikyou ya kachi ha nukeochi
Tonari de nemuru danzetsu ha gukou Sou Kuzureteku joukei no imi wo kuchiteku
imi wo
Muragaru karasu no moto he Nakiyamu made Rei ni touhi suru kazu ha ou
Ibitsu ni magaru arubeki sugata ha nuiawaseru hodo fukaku tokeru
Because you've sneer at me so, I've shed what I dreamed for and valued.
The meaning of the crumbling scene, and of the rotting, are the follies
which cease to sleep by me.
People chase the Cries of the swarming crows to their origin As they escape
into nothingness.
The crooked figure is so torn apart it has to be sewn back together.

 

瞳孔に浮かべる現実は殼 麻痺した感情の所為か
Doukou ni ukaberu genjitsu ha kara Mahishita kokoro no sei ka
The truth expressed in my eyes is just a shell. It may be due to my paralyzed
feelings.

 

空が跡切れ光が地に墜ちる 嘆く声をあやす赤子の夢
塗り潰し過ぎて爛れてく嘘 蝶の羽で落下する蛾
苦悩の裏で溺れている愛 亡骸に手を伸ばす傍観者
這いつくばる明日を笑う老婆
どうか俺のままで
Sora ga togire hikari ga chi ni ochiru Nageku koe wo ayasu akago no yume
Nuritsubushisugite tadareteku uso Chou no ha de chikka suru ga
Kunou no ura de oboreteiru ai Nakigara ni te wo nobasu boukensha
Haitsukubaru asu wo warau rouba
Dou ka ore no mama de
The light that rends the sky falls to earth. Lamenting voice is the dream
of dandled infants.
Lies are so exposed they fester. Butterflies cast off their wings and become
moths.
Love drowns in the depths of distress. Onlookers reach out to corpses.
Tomorrow that persistently creeps near laughs at an old woman.
Please, let me be myself...

 

辺りを埋め尽くす宛て無き痛み
目を閉じ灯す歌に傷など癒せぬ
Atari wo umetsukusu atenaki itami
Me wo toji tomosu uta ni kizu nado iyasenu
This worthless pain fills me with exhaustion.
I close my eyes, but the wounds illuminated by this song won't heal.

 

壁一面に咲き出した終焉 誰もが忘却を願う度
葬失に焼かれた俺の詩は仄暗い虚無の底で溺れてる
Kabe ichimen ni sakidashita owari1 Daremo ga boukyaku wo nagau tabi
Soushitsu ni yakareta ore no uta ha honokurai kyomu no soko de oboreteru
Everyone wishes over and over to forget The demise that bloomed on one side
of the wall.
My burned song, buried in fault, is drowning in the depths of gloomy nihility.

 

ららら
La la la
La la la

 

 

 

 

 










 

Notes
1. The kanji written are pronounced "shuuen" (end), but Ruki sings "owari" (end).

紅蓮 Translation

A translation the GazettE's "紅蓮 (Guren)", which was released as a single and then as a track on the studio album "DIM". The lotus is, in Buddhism, a symbol of the feminine reproductive system, the uterus. Therefore, a red lotus would be a bloodied uterus. This song is about an abortion as from the point of view of the mother, who regrets her decision. This is an extremely emotional song for many people, including the members of the band.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company.

Guren

 

 

ごめんね あと少し アナタの名前と眠らせて
Gomen ne Ato sukoshi Anata no namae to nemurasete
I'm sorry... please let me sleep with your name on my mind for a bit longer.

 

寄り添った過ぎし日は痛みを喜び合い
両手に映し出す アナタを想い泣いている
Yorisottasugishi hi ha itami wo yorokobi ai
Ryoute ni utsushidasu Anata wo omoinaiteiru
The pain of those days we were so close together is what brought me joy.
I cry, my thoughts of you reflected in my hands.

 

其処に降る悲しみは知らないままでいいよ
安息に振えを覚えた足りぬ目は何を見る
Soko ni furu kanashimi ha shiranai mama de ii yo
Anzoku ni furue wo oboeta Tarinu me ha nani wo miru
It's all right if my sorrow is unknown, even though my tears fall like rain.
I lie in repose, remembering, but What can such undeserving eyes see?

 

薄れないで アナタよ
僅かな吐息を聞かせて欲しい
小さな鼓動で泣く
アナタよ 此処までおいで
Usurenai de Anata yo
Wazuka na toiki wo kikasete hoshii
Chiisa na kodou de naku
Anata yo Koko made oide
Don't fade away, my dear.
I want you to let me hear just one tiny sigh.
Your small heartbeat cries out.
My dear, stay right here.

 

代わらない夢に続きがあるなら
どうか途切れずに...
幸福と呼べなくても溺れて重ならぬ日々を
Kawaranai yume ni tsuzuki ga aru nara
Dou ka togirezu ni...
Koufuku to yobenakute mo oborete kasanaranu hibi wo
If this unchanging dream will continue on,
Please, don't let it stop...
I can't gain happiness, so I drown in the days that continue to come.

 

薄れないで アナタよ
僅かな吐息を聞かせて欲しい
小さな鼓動で泣く
アナタよ 此処までおいで
Usurenai de Anata yo
Wazuka na toiki wo kikasete hoshii
Chiisa na kodou de naku
Anata yo Koko made oide
Don't fade away, my dear.
I want you to let me hear just one tiny sigh.
Your small heartbeat cries out.
My dear, stay right here.

 

「支え合い・・・絡み合う未来は・・・億千の祈りとなり
この夢幻は・・・やがて別々の両手に浮かび上がり・・・歪みから血を発し
弱気産声が体から剥がれ・・・希望さえも忘れたころ・・・意識の底深く・・・
祈りは途切れる・・・」
"Sasaeai... Karamiau mirai ha ... okuzen no inori to nari
Kono yumemaboroshi ha... Yagate betsubetsu no ryoute ni ukabeagari... Yugami kara chi wo hashi
Yowaki ubugoe ga karada kara hakugare... Kibou sae mo wasureta koro... Ishiki no soko fukaku... Inori ga togireru..."
"Supporting me... That future I'm entangled in... Becomes countless prayers. This dream... Before long, it will float in my separated hands... Because it's distorted, it flows in my blood.
My child's weak cries seem to fade from its body... I've forgotten even my hopes... Deep in my consciousness... My prayers have stopped..."1

 

「救いの手さえも曖昧で
棒刻みの繭は糸を千切れずに灰に成る」
"Sukui no te sae mo aimai de
Boukizami no mayu ha ito wo chikirezu ni hai ni naru"
"Even with help, however vague it may be,
In a second, the cocoon is torn to shreds and falls to ash."

 

薄れないで アナタよ
僅かな吐息で聞いてて欲しい
小さな鼓動の音に掠れぬ祈りよ届け
Usurenai de Anata yo
Wazuka na toiki de kiitetehoshii
Chiisana kodou no oto ni kasurenu inori yo todoke
Don't fade away, my dear.
I want to hear just one tiny sigh.
Oh, indistinct prayer, reach to the sound of that small heartbeat!

 

呼べぬ名前を抱いて
指折り数える明日は消えない
耳を塞ぎ聞いてた 揺籠揺れる音
取り戻さぬ春に紅蓮の花が咲く
Yobenu namae wo daite
Yubi ori kazueru asu ha kienai
Mimi wo sogikiiteta Yurikago yureru oto
Torimodosenu haru ni guren no hana ga saku
I embrace the name I can't call out,
Counting on my fingers the tomorrows that won't disappear.
The sound of a swaying cradle Fills my deaf ears, and
In a springtime I can never go back to, a crimson lotus is blooming.

A MOTH UNDER THE SKIN Translation

A translation of the GazettE's "A MOTH UNDER THE SKIN" from their studio album "DIM". I believe the song is about the culture of beauty that leads people to do horrible things to themselves in order to be "beautiful" according to society.
