crystal scherzo – Announcement #4

I thought I’d drop in and just let you guys know a few things~. =3

 

1. There are new sections under “crystal scherzo” there on the sidebar. The Information page has the group members and responsibilities, including sources for where we get our manga for editing and translation. It also has a list of current projects, and when there are more in planning, those will also be listed. Also on that page are ways to contact us for any questions you may have.

There is also a rules page, containing basic guidelines. Please go here if you want information on hosting, distributing, translating etc. any of our releases! That goes for manga and text translations.

 

2. Text translations: I currently have only nine songs in the Versailles discography to translate. I will then keep up with songs as they are released (it sounds like they have been in the studio a lot as of late, hopefully this promises a new release sometime later this year). I will also be translating interviews in their JUBILEE scorebook and in tour pamphlets. If you are interested in those, I will start work on them once I finish up the last bits of translating for their discography.

 

3. Current status of manga projects: Number guilt 11 has been levelled, and 7/32 pages have been cleaned. Base translation has been completed – I’m waiting on word from hyrrence on her end. I’m hoping to have the rest of the pages cleaned and the Japanese translation refined by the end of the month.

Monochrome Factor chapter 42 is in for cleaning. Translation has not been started yet.

 

 

 

Between school and work and personal life, I’m hesitant to suggest even a tentative release date for either manga project, so please hang in with me until things are a bit more solid and I have more word from the other members on their status. We do thank all of you for your patience and understanding, and for your support. =)

愛と哀しみのノクターン Translation

A translation of Versailles’ “Ai to Kanashimi no Nocturne” (Nocturne of Love and Sadness) from their major debut album “JUBILEE”. This is the only song from this album apart from ASCENDEAD MASTER that they have performed live (aside from concerts). It’s almost like a ballad set to Teru’s heavier metal music. (:

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.

JUBILEE




求め合う指先は
もう届かない空の彼方
夜空に浮かぶあなたへと捧げ
今肖は詩う
Motomeau yubisaki ha
Mou todokanai sora no kanata
Yozora ni ukabu anata he to sasage
Ima ha utau
My searching fingertips
Can no longer reach beyond the sky.
I dedicate to you who floats in the night sky
This song.



愛が哀しみに濡れてゆき
鋼の心を砕く
たとえ夢だとしても
月を愛し続け
Ai ga kanashimi ni nuretayuki
Hagane no kokoro wo kudaku
Tatoe yume da toshite mo
Tsuki ga aishitsuzuke
Love will be wet by sadness,
Smashing the steel heart.
So, though it might be a dream,
I will continue to love the moon.



逢えない時は雲を裂き
もし白夜なら闇となって
夜空を創り城で待とう
だからそう。。。光がくれ
Aenai toki ha kumo wo saki
Moshi byakuya nara yami to natte
Yozora wo kurishiro de matou
Dakara sou... hikari ga kure
The time I cannot meet with you rends the clouds.
If there is a midnight sun, it will be darkened.
The night sky waits at a damaged castle,
So yes... come, light.



愛が哀しみに濡れてゆき
序曲の風に乗って
誰もいない空を見上げ
吠える夜想曲
Ai ga kanashimi ni nureteyuki
Jokyoku no kaze ni notte
Dare mo inai sora wo miage
Hoeru yasoukyoku
Love will be wet by sadness,
Riding the wind of prelude.
I raise my eyes to the sky where no one is
And howl this nocturne.



月に叫び砕いた静寂をもう一度
汚れなき愛を奪い咲いた紅の花
夜を纏い輝き抱きしめて眠らせて
月の光の中で夜想曲に乗せて
Tsuki ni sakebi kudaita seijaku wo mou ichido
Yogorenaki ai wo ubaisaita beni no hana
Yoru wo matoi kagayaki dakishimete nemurasete
Tsuki no hikari no naka de yasoukyoku ni nosete
I scream silently with a broken voice at the moon, just once more.
Our dirty love blossomed forcefully into a crimson flower.
Let me sleep, embraced by the radiance the night wears,
And ride this nocturne in the midst of the moonlight.



Ah...満月に叫ぶ声
今あなたを想い
月に吠えた
Ah... mangetsu ni sakebugoe
Ima anata wo omoi
Tsuki ni hoeta
Ah... my crying voice to the full moon...
Now, I howl my feelings to you
At the moon.

Luxurious

 

人形に宿った    狂気めいた景
現実に怯え        破滅めいた姿
Karada* ni yadotta, Kyoukimeita kei
Genjitsu ni obie, Hametsu meita sugata
Dwelling in my body is a view of madness.
My ruined figure is frightened of reality.

 

acquire mind, being vice 操られ
acquire mind, being vice misaorare
acquire mind, being vice, it manipulates...

 

脳裏に描いた    狂気めいた天
もがき狂いながら    悪へと染めあげる
Nouri ni egaita, Kyouki meita sora**
Mogaki kurui nagara, Aku he to someageru
Painted in my mind is a maddened sky
While there is disorder, I will dye everything to vice

 

acquire mind, being crime 感じさせ
acquire mind, being crime kanjisase
acquire mind, being crime, let me feel it...!

 

愛しの呪文        唱える娘悪魔
錯乱した愛情
禁断の果実        口に銜えて
白濁した想いは    飲みほしてゆく
Itoshi no kotoba*** Tonaeru shoujo****
Sakuran shita aijou
Kindan no kajitsu, kuchi ni kuwaete
Hakudaku shita omoi ha, nomihoshiteyuku
My girl chants those beloved curses,
Her love deranged.
I hold the forbidden fruit in my mouth,
And I want to drink the turbulent feelings.

 

acquire mind, being vice 高ぶらせ
acquire mind, being crime 感じさせ
acquire mind, being vice takabusare
acquire mind, being crime kanjisase
acquire mind, being vice, let it all build up
acquire mind, being crime, let me feel it

 

愛しの呪文        唱える娘悪魔
錯乱した顔色
・・・歪んだ愛・・・
背に爪を立て    刻み合った愛の記憶は
染紅に沈めゆく
Itoshi no kotoba, tonaeru shoujo
Sakuran shita kanjou*****
…Yuganda ai…
Sei ni tsume wo tate     Kizami atta ai no kioku ha
Shinku ni shizumeyuku
My girl chants those  beloved curses,
Her thoughts confused.
... This perverted love...
It digs its claws into my back, and the memories of my shattered love
Sink into crimson.
