La Musique Translation

かつてそれは貴族達のために招かれ

宴の度 宮廷に響いた

美しすぎるメロディー

Katsute sore ha kizokutachi no tame ni manekare

Utage no tabi   Kyuutei ni hibiita

Utsukushisugiru merodii

In a time gone by, I was summoned for the aristocrats.

At every banquet, the beautiful melody

Resounded through the royal court.

勇気や希望 時に涙を与えて

彼らの心を操る

Yuuki ya kibou   Toki ni namida wo ataete

Karera no kokoro wo ayatsu

Sometimes, courage and hope cause tears

And pull the strings of their hearts.

芸術という爵位を捨て 民衆にさえ寄り添う

そんな音楽を いま守りたい

私たちを出会わせてくれた感謝を

Geijutsu to iu shakui wo sutete   Minshuu ni sae yorisou

Sonna anata¹ wo   Ima mamoritai

Watashitachi wo deawasete kureta kansha wo

Casting aside the accolades of “art”, I even grew close to the common people.

Now, I want to protect you,

And the gratitude I have for our chance meeting.

旋律で貫いた貴族のセレネイド

残酷な時代だから抱きしめたい

夢を孤独を愛の言葉を

そう 載せて音楽は

Senritsu de tsurenuita kizoku no sereneido

Zankoku na toki² da kara dakishimetai

Yume wo kodoku wo ai no kotoba wo

Sou   Nosete anata¹ ha

With our melody, we’ll pierce into the aristocrat’s serenade.

Because it’s such a cruel time, I want to hold you close.

Yes, you ride upon

The dreams, the solitude, the words of love.

Ah どんな時代でも愛を奏で続けている

Ah   Donna jidai de mo ai wo kanade tsuzuketeiru

Ah, no matter the era, I’ll continue to play love.

Ah どんな時代でも愛を奏でている

人々の想いを願いを背負って

Ah   Donna jidai de mo ai wo kanadeteiru

Hitobito no omoi wo negai wo seotte

Ah, no matter the era, I’ll play love,

Burdened with the people’s emotions and wishes.

旋律で貫いた貴族のセレネイド

残酷な時代だから抱きしめたい

夢を孤独を愛の言葉を

そう 載せて音楽は

Senritsu de tsurenuita kizoku no sereneido

Zankoku na toki da kara dakishimetai

With our melody, we’ll pierce into the aristocrat’s serenade.

Because it’s such a cruel time, I want to hold you close.

Yes, you ride upon

The dreams, the solitude, the words of love.

愛を奏でている

私たちと共に

Ai wo kanadeteiru

Watashitachi to tomo ni

You’re playing love

With us.

残酷な時代だから激しく燃えて

旋律で貫いた愛はコンチェルト

重ね交わる二人のように

Ah 人と音楽は

Zankoku na toki da kara hageshiku moete

Senritsu de tsuranuita ai ha koncheruto

Kasanemajiwaru futari no you ni

Ah   Hito to anata ha

Because it’s such a cruel time, we burn violently.

The love piercing through the melody is a concerto.

People and you are

Ah, like overlapping lovers.
