crystal scherzo Announcement #16.1

 Hello all,

Thank you for the support on my announcement.

It appears that a music association is claiming rights to the actual kanji lyrics used in a good amount of my posts and says that reproducing these lyrics is unlawful.

I'm debating what to do from here on out. I'll keep you guys updated.

crystal scherzo announcement #16

 Hi guys.


I know that I've been pretty spotty on updating this blog and doing translations over the last ten or so years. The motivation comes and goes along with whatever's going on in life. I was just prepping to get started again when I got hit with nearly 20 copyright notices just a couple weeks ago.

No real explanation as for why, and no real pattern to them either.

As of right now I'm trying to decide what to do. I may be migrating the blog to a different host, or if I can figure out what I need to do to avoid copyright here on blogger I may have to change the way I post. I'll post an update again when I make a decision.

Regardless, I'm hoping I'll get things up and going again really soon.


Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me and supported me all these years. I truly appreciate each and every person that comes by to see what I work on.


Much love ♡
Hana

Creation Translation

Creation






永遠の時の中で選ばれた
与え賜う    この光の命を
Tokoshie1 no toki no naka de erabareta
Ataetamou   Kono hikari no inochi wo

In this eternal time, I chose
To receive the light of this life.



抱いたままに降りる階段で
未知なる印された未来へ向かえば
Daita mama ni oriru kaidan de
Michinaru shirusareta mirai he mukaeba

As I embraced it, I descended the stairs
To face a future marked “unknown”.



幾万の聴こえる産声が…
遥か遠くへと響く予兆を
Ikuman no kikoeru ubugoe ga…
Haruka tooku he to hibiku yochou wo

I can hear so many birth cries…
The omen echoes far away in the distance.



抱いたままに降りる階段で
未知なる印された未来へと
Daita mama ni oriru kaidan de
Michinaru shirusareta mirai he to

As I embraced it, I descended the stairs
To face a future marked “unknown”.



Don't you cry    夜が明けていく
Don't you cry    照らされる
Don't you cry    瞼を開けて
Don't you cry    吸い込んで
Don’t you cry   Yo ga aketeiku
Don’t you cry   Terasareru
Don’t you cry   Mabuta wo akete
Don’t you cry   Suikonde

Don’t you cry   The night will grow lighter
Don’t you cry   And you’ll be illuminated.
Don’t you cry   Open your eyes
Don’t you cry   And breathe.



物語の序章が息吹いて
穹蒼と地が創造られた
Monogatari no joshou ga ibuite
Oozora2 to chi ga tsukurareta3

With a breath, the legend's prologue
Created the wide sky and the earth.



Don't look back    前だけを見て
Don't look back    踏み出して
Don't look back    太陽に手が
Don't look back    届くように
Don’t look back   Mae dake wo mite
Don’t look back   Fumidashite
Don’t look back   Taiyou ni te ga
Don’t look back   Todoku you ni

Don’t look back   Just look forward
Don’t look back   And go forth
Don’t look back   So that your hands
Don’t look back   Will reach the sun.



死線越えては    昇る階段
行き交うものは    幾億の夜
摘まれた蕾も    いつかは散りゆく
幾度、深く    愛されて
Shisen koete ha   Noboru kaidan
Ikikau mono ha   Ikuoku no yoru
Tsumareta hana4 mo   Itsuka ha chiriyuku
Ikutabi, fukaku   Ai sarete

The ascending stairs cross the line between life and death.
That which comes and goes are the innumerable nights.
Someday, even the flower you picked will scatter to pieces.   
You'll be deeply loved over and over again. 













Notes
1. "Eien" ("eternity") is written, while Rami sings "tokoshie", which means the same thing
2. The kanji compound here is made of "kyou" ("sky") and "ao" ("blue"). Together they would probably be pronounced "kyousou", but Rami sings "oozora" ("vast sky, heavens") instead.
3. The compound written is "souzou" ("creation"), while Rami sings it as "tsukurareta" ("made, created"). The second kanji in the compound can be ready as "tsukuru", so it goes with the "tsukurareta".
4. "Tsubomi" ("flower bud") is written, but Rami sings "hana" ("flower").

Creation
   
  
  
  
  
  
 

私が私であるために創造り出す光
彷徨った過去の道なんて
もう見えない
Watashi ga watashi de aru tame ni tsukuridasu1 hikari
Samayotta kako no michi nante
Mou mienai

With the light I created so I could be myself,
I can no longer see
The path of the past I wandered in.



私が私であるために切り拓いた未来
この先で彷徨ったとしても
独りじゃない
Watashi ga watashi de aru tame ni kirihiraita mirai
Kono saki de samayotta to shite mo
Hitori ja nai

I cut through the future so I could be myself.
Even if I get lost beyond this point,
I’m not alone.



邪魔をしたのは心の弱さで
強さに変えて駆け抜けていきたい
Jama wo shita no ha kokoro no yowasa de
Tsuyosa ni kaete kakenukete ikitai

The weakness of my heart gets in my way.
I want to change it to strength and run on through.



Ah 溢れ出す、この気持ちを抑えられない
Ah 走り出す目の前に理想が広がる
Ah   Afuredasu, kono kimochi wo osaerarenai
Ah   Hashiridasu me no mae ni risou ga hirogaru

Ah, these feelings that I can’t hold back are overflowing.
Ah, I start to run, and my ideals spread before me.



不可能なことなんて何もない
自分の生まれ持つ力を信じて
Fukanou na koto nante nani mo nai
Jibun no umaremotsu chikara wo shinjite

Believing in the power that I was born with,
There is nothing that is impossible.



Ah 溢れ出す、この気持ちを抑えられない
Ah 走り出す目の前に理想を広げ
Ah   Afuredasu, kono kimochi wo osaerarenai
Ah   Hashiridasu me no mae ni risou wo hiroge

Ah, these feelings that I can’t hold back are overflowing.
Ah, I start to run, and my ideals spread before me.



Ah 引き裂いて心の靄を取り除いて
Ah 侵された内に秘める荒地に水を 
Ah   Hikisaita kokoro no moya wo torinozoite
Ah   Okasareta uchi ni himeru arechi ni mizu wo

Ah, take away the haze that rends my heart
Ah, and hide it within the wilderness taken over by water.













Notes
1. The kanji compound here is "souzou" ("creation"), but Rami sings it as "tsuku(ridasu)". "Tsukuru" means "to make, to create".

Perfect Half Translation

Creation






溢れ出す笑顔のその中には
数えきれない思い出が…
幾つもの鎖を振りほどいて
二人で乗り越えた
Afuredasu egao no sono naka ni ha
Kazoekirenai omoide ga…
Ikutsu mono kusari wo furihodoite
Futari de norikoeta

The innumerable memories are
Overflowing in that smiling face…
The two of us will overcome the numerous chains,
Untangling them and shaking them off.



心、傷付いた夜も
傷付けた夜も
目覚めれば
柔らかに囁き
「これからも寄り添い、生きていこう」
Kokoro, kizutsuita yoru mo
Kizutsuketa yoru mo
Mezamereba
Yawaraka ni sasayaki
“Kore kara mo yorisoi, ikiteikou”

If my heart awakens,
Even if it’s in the wounded night,
Even if it wounds the night, 
It will whisper softly:
“Let’s live on, cuddling even closer than we are now.”



Ah 美しく輝く星に見守られ、手を繋いだ
抱き締め合い、温もりを感じてみれば
幸せが愛しくて
Ah   Utsukushiku kagayaku hoshi ni mimamorare, te wo tsunaida
Dakishimeai, nukumori wo kanjite mireba
Shiawase ga itoshikute

Ah, we held hands under the watch of the beautifully-sparkling stars.
If we hold each other close and try to feel the warmth,
Our happiness will be so dear.



貴方から貰った言葉たちは
私を笑顔に導いて
どんな辛いことが訪れても
二人で乗り越えた
Anata kara moratta kotobatachi ha
Watashi wo egao ni michibiite
Donna tsurai koto ga otozurete mo
Futari de norikoeta

The words I received from you
Lead me with a smile.
No matter what difficult things may come,
We’ll overcome it together.



拭い切れない不安の日々も
やがて消えゆくと、信じている
幾年の先もずっと
「変わらずに寄り添い、生きていこう」
Nugui kirenai fuan no hibi mo
Yagate kieyuku to, shinjiteiru
Ikunen no saki mo zutto
“Kawarazu ni yorisoi, ikiteikou”

I believe that even the days where we couldn’t dispel our worries
Will finally disappear.
Forever, no matter how many years are before us,
“Let’s live on, nestling close as we usually do.”



Ah    美しく輝く星に見守られ、手を繋いだ
Ah    飾らない、私を優しく包む
眼差しが愛しくて
Ah   Utsukushiku kagayaku hoshi ni mimamorare, te wo tsunaida
Ah   Kazaranai, watashi wo yasashiku tsutsumu
Manazashi ga itoshikute

Ah, we held hands under the watch of the beautifully-sparkling stars.
Ah, you gently wrap me up without pretense.
Your gaze is so dear to me.



忙しない毎日を過ごしていても
瞳を合わせば微笑んで
Sewashinai mainichi wo sugoshiteite mo
Hitomi wo awaseba hohoende

Even if I have to pass through restless days,
If our eyes will meet, I’ll smile.



守りたい、言葉も笑顔も
共に歩いていける、未知なる路を
抱き締め合いながら
温もりを感じてみれば
世界にひとつだけの幸せが愛しくて
Mamoritai, kotoba mo egao mo
Tomo ni aruiteikeru, michinaru michi wo
Dakishimeai nagara
Nukumori wo kanjite mireba
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no shiawase ga itoshikute

I want to protect your words and your smile.
We can walk this unknown path together.
If we can try to feel that warmth
While holding each other tightly,
Then that single happiness we have in this world will be dear.



美しく輝く星を眺めて
愛を確かめ合った    手と手を繋ぎ
抱き締め合いながら
温もりを感じてみれば
世界にひとつだけの幸せが愛しくて
Utsukushiku kagayaku hoshi wo nagamete
Ai wo tashikameatta   Te to te wo tsunagi
Dakishimeai nagara
Nukumori wo kanjite mireba
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no shiawase ga itoshikute

Gazing at the beautifully-sparkling stars,
We’ll affirm our love to each other and twine our hands.
If we can try to feel that warmth
While holding each other tightly,
Then that single happiness we have in this world will be dear.



…愛しくて。 
… Itoshikute.
… It will be dear.
