抱きしめた孤独さえ
雨の中に隠した涙も
瞬間の木漏れ日に
目を眩ませて繰り返していた
Dakeshimeta kodoku sae
Ame no naka ni kakushita namida mo
Shunkan no komorebi ni
Me wo kuramasete kurikaeshiteita
Even the loneliness I fully embraced,
And the tears I hid in the rain,
Dazzled my eyes over and over again
In the moment sunlight filtered through the trees.

 

凍えるような冷めたさで突き刺す苦しみ
吐息さえも今は凍り付いてしまうから
Kogoeru you na tsumetasa de tsukisasu kanashimi
Toiki sae mo ima ha kooritsuite shimau kara
Pain seems to stabs me with freezing cold,
And because even my sighs freeze over...

 

もうあなたなしじゃ生きられない 逃げられない
押し寄せてくる孤独に怯えるだけ
Mou anata nashi ja ikirarenai Nigerarenai
Oshiyosetekuru kodoku ni obieru dake
If you are no longer, I cannot live... I cannot escape.
I'm only afraid of loneliness that rushes at me.

 

甘い幻想に冷たくちづけ
青き静寂を背徳に変えて
時が拒むほどあなたを求め
月の采配に刃を向けよう
Amai gensou ni sameta kuchizuke
Aoki seijaku wo haitoku ni kaete
Toki ga kobamu hodo anata wo motome
Tsuki no shihai ni yaiba wo mukeyou
The sweet illusions kiss me coldly,
And the young silence changes to corruption.
I search for you, rejecting time,
Pointing my blade at the moon.

 

幻でいいから
目を閉じて 今逢いに行くよ
Maboroshi de ii kara
Me wo tojite Ima ai ni iku yo
An illusion is fine with me.
I close my eyes, and go to the rendezvous.

 

そこは変わり果てた
黒い砂漠...
Soko ha kawari hateta
Kuroi sabaki...
It completely changed
Into a black desert...

 

もう分からないよ 何を信じて生きればいい？
もうあなたなしじゃ生きられない
Mou wakaranai yo Nani wo shinjiteikireba ii?
Mou anata nashi ja ikirarenai
I don't understand anymore - what should I live to believe?
Without you, I cannot continue living.

 

凍えるような冷めたさで突き刺す苦しみ
言葉さえも今は凍り付いてしまうから
Kogoeru you na tsumetasa de tsukisasu kanashimi
Kotoba sae mo ima ha kooritsuite shimau kara
Pain seems to stab me with freezing cold
And even my words will freeze over...

 

どれだけ愛せば言葉にすればいいの？
分からない あなたが見えない
取り戻せないとわかっていても
きっと終われないこの想いだけは
Dore dake aiseba kotoba ni sureba ii no?
Wakaranai Anata ga mienai
Torimodosenai to wakatteitemo
Kotto owarenai kono omoi dake ha
How much should I love and speak these words?
I don't know... I can't see you...
Though I understand I cannot have it back,
These feelings are neverending.

 

甘い幻想に冷たくちづけ
青き静寂を背徳に変えて
時が拒むほどあなたを求め
月の采配に刃を向けよう
Amai gensou ni sameta kuchizuke
Aoki seijaku wo haitoku ni kaete
Toki ga kobamu hodo anata wo motome
Tsuki no shihai ni yaiba wo mukeyou
The sweet illusions kiss me coldly,
And the young silence changes to corruption.
I search for you, rejecting time,
And pointing my blade at the moon.

To celebrate the beginning of the group. I'm just seeing how I like it for now. I may or may not switch back to the old one. :3

I can't give you an exact date for the next chapters of Monochrome Factor and Number, but I'm going to guess about another three weeks to a month for Number.

Thank you!

Unmoved Translation-Romanization

A translation of the song “Unmoved” on Moi dix Mois’s extended play disc “Beyond the Gate”, their first CD with the new vocalist Seth and new bassist Sugiya and drummer Hayato. It’s a very gentle and light song, in the beginning but… ha ha. Moi dix Mois is only beginning to become Gothic. :D They sure like to trick you.

 

The first half or so is screamed in English by K, but I romanized the Japanese that they provided as a translation to their Japanese fans, just in case you wanted to know how to read it. :) I italicized those romanizations like I italicize normal English translations.

Nothing can be seen with the rotten deathly head

Crooked desire can't show the future

Leave yourself to pity music of burying a foolish man (dunce)
<愚か者を葬る為の憐れみの鎮魂歌に身を委ね>

May you rest in peace

貴方は気づかない 奪われた真実(こころ)を
虚像という名の世界へ 堕ちて彷徨えば
Anata ha kizukanai Ubawareta kokoro* wo
Kyozou to iu na no sekai he Ochite samayoeba
You don't realize that the heart you lost
Will fall and wander around a world called "pretence"

 

 

朽ち果て崩れゆく貴方は 生ける屍のよう

You, who rots and crumbles away, are like a living corpse.

指先導く現実で 満ちて彷徨えば
Kibou ha kusurihate Mousou ni oborete
Yubisaki michibiku sekai** de Ochite samayoeba
Hope decays, drowning in delusion,
Falling into and wandering through a world that leads it by the fingertip.

 

 

愚かな装飾は 引き裂かれ 生ける屍のよう
Oroka na soushoku ha Hikisakare Ikeru shikabane no you
A foolish ornament will rend you, like a living corpse.

 

 

虚栄は醜く ひび割れた鏡
Kyoei ha minikuku Hibiwareta kagami
Vanity is an ugly cracked mirror...

 

 

何故 求めない
Naze Motomenai
Why... aren't you searching?

*"Shinjitsu" (truth) is written, but "kokoro" (heart) is sung.
**"Genjitsu" (reality) is written, but "sekai" (world) is sung.

Beast of Desire Translation

A translation of Versailles’ “Beast of Desire” from their EP “Lyrical Sympathy”. It’s a very light song for the content of the lyrics, but I like it very much. KAMIJO’s voice works well with the light and almost airy music.

食いちぎる程 華のように
淫らな声を上げて散り行く
領域を侵す者は深海の闇へ
Kuichigiru hodo Hana no you ni
Midara na koe wo agete chiriyuku
Ryouiki wo okasu mono ha shinkai no yami he
It's so bitten that it's like a flower,
Dispersing as I raise my lewd voice.
The trespassers of this land go into the deep sea of darkness.

 

 

潤してこの疼きを 青く細いその手首で
奪い合う中失ってゆく理性を
Uruoshite kono ujiki wo Aoku hosoi sono tekubi de
Ubaiau naka ushinatte yuku risei wo
This pain wets your young, slender wrist, and
While you struggle, you will lose your senses.

 

 

目の前で壊れてゆく 抑えても獣が快楽を誘う
Me no mae de kowareteyuku Osaete mo kemono ga kairaku wo sasou
You break in front of me - even if I restrain myself, the beast tempts me
to pleasure.

 

 

生贄は優しさと枯れた涙だけ
Ikenie ha yasashisa to kareta namida dake
The only sacrifices are kindness and my dried tears.

 

 

噛み砕く程 冷めた過去は
取り留めもない 欲望の渦
領域を侵す者は深海の闇へ
Kamikudaku hodo sameta kako ha
Toritome mo nai Yokubou no uzu
Ryouiki wo okasu mono ha shinkai no yami he
The cold past is so crunched down that
This whirl of hope will not be taken.
The violators of this land go to the deep sea of darkness.

 

 

潤してこの疼きを 青く細いその手首で
奪い合う中失ってゆく理性を
Uruoshite kono ujiki wo Aoku hosoi sono tekubi de
Ubaiau naka ushinatteyuku risei wo
This pain will wet your young, slender wrist, and
While you struggle, you will lose your senses.

 

 

目の前で壊れてゆく 人々が獣が哀しみを食らう
生贄は優しさと枯れた涙だけ
Me no mae de kowareteyuku Hitobito ga kemono ga kanashimi wo kurau
Ikenie ha yasashisa to kareta namida dake
You break before my eyes - people and beasts feast on suffering.
The only sacrifices are kindness and my dried tears.

 

 

綺麗な程 汚れてゆく 殺めても獣が哀しみ食らう
生贄は優しさと枯れた涙だけ
Kirei na hodo Yogoreteyuku Ayamete mo kemono ga kanashimi wo kurau
Ikenie ha yasashisa to kareta namida dake
It's so beautiful, it will be defiled - even if I kill it, the beast feasts
on my sadness.
The only sacrifices are kindness and my dried tears.

 

 

快楽の果て 去勢されて 永遠となる
Kairaku no hate Kyosei sarete Eien to naru
At the end of pleasure, the castration will become eternal.
