Red Carnation Translation

Translation of Jupiter’s “Red Carnation” from their album “The History of Genesis”. In the European floriography, a red carnation means “my heart breaks”. In Japanese floriography (hanakotoba), the carnation stands for “passionate love” and “devotion”.

惑いの視線が交わり
至極の誕生に艶めく
Madoi no shisen ga majiwari
Shigoku no tanjou ni tsuyameku
My infatuated gaze is met by
The shining of a wonderful birth.

 

嗚呼 罪な程の 美しさ
心は奪われ もう止められない
Aa Tsumi na hodo no Utsukushisa
Kokoro ha ubaware Mou tomerarenai
Ah... the sinful beauty
Steals away my heart. I can't stop now.

 

憂いを帯びた瞳は
真理を写し夢を想う
Urei wo obita hitomi ha
Shinri wo utsushi yume wo omou
The eyes tinged with gloom
Dream a dream that mirrors truth.

 

嗚呼 狂おしく 愛おしく
抱き締めたままで 離さない
Aa Kuruoshiku Itoshiku
Dakshimeta mama de Hanasanai
Ah, so maddening, so lovely,
I'll hold you tightly like this, and not let you go.

 

愛は全てを超えて
二人を繋ぎ止める
追憶の夜に消えたメロディ
女神よ 聞いて
誓い合おう 求めて
永遠に続く愛の証を
Ai ha subete wo koete
Futari wo tsunaitomeru
Tsuioku no yoru ni kieta melody
Megami yo Kiite
Chikaiaou Motomete
Eien ni tsuzuku ai no akashi wo
Love surpasses all
And ties the two of us
With the melody that disappeared into the night of reminiscence.
Goddess, (I hear you...)
Let's vow together (I'm searching...)
For the proof of love that continues into eternity.

 

Victoria 愛している
「あなたの傍へ…」
亡骸をそっと抱き締め
Victoria Aishiteiru
"Anata no soba he..."
Nakigara wo sotto dakishime
Victoria, I love you.
"To your side..."
I gently embrace your dead body.

 

鏡に映る 悲しみの幻影
追い求め闇へと堕ちて
自らの生命 天へと還そう
いつまでも君の傍で
Kagami ni utsuru Kanashimi no gen'ei
Oimotome yami he to ochite
Mizukara no inochi¹ Ten he to kaesou
Itsumade mo kimi no soba de
The phantom of sadness reflected in the mirror
Falls into the darkness it pursues.
I'll send my existence back to heaven
And be forever at your side.

 

愛は全てを超えて
二人を繋ぎ止める
追憶の夜に消えたメロディ
女神よ わたしは
限りに生きて さよなら
永遠に誓う愛を求める
Futari wo tsunaitomeru
Tsuioku no yoru ni kieta melody
Megami yo Watashi ha
Kagiri ni ikite Sayonara
Eien ni chikau ai wo motomeru
Love surpasses all
And ties the two of us
With the melody that disappeared into the night of reminiscence.
Goddess, (I...)
I'll live with all my strength (Bid you farewell...)
And search for the love we pledged to eternity.

 

My heart aches for you
Our love will last forever
