穢れ亡き悠久の呪詛 (Kegarenaki Yuukyuu no Juso) - Immaculate Eternal Curse - Romaji and Translation

Oooh this definitely is my favourite song of the album! I love the dragon(?) howls and the darkness of the song. I interpret this as a déjà vu of the scene in Strega, where Luna, which is the name of the girl, gets her first witchpact. Who is Kairos (or Caerus in latin spelling)? Kairos is a minor Greek god, the youngest child of the king of the Olympos, Zeus. He is the god of opportunity, luck and favourable moments. He is also one of the two time gods, the other being Chronos (referred to in the first song). Compared to Chronos, Kairos is "the opportune time for action", while chronos is the chronological time. This is reflected in the song, as it seems to be a moment inside the chronological time in which an action is taken, the timeof the punishment of Luna.

Really, composition wise I think this is the best song. The callback to the Strega song in a guitar solo. The howls of the dragon, the vague lyrics, Yuki's amazing voice. Aah... so good. Although, this song was quite complicated to translate, so please bear with me and please tell me if you have another interpretation. I again used some greek letters to emphasise the use of Katakana in the transcription.

堕ちてく・・・

ochiteku... Ah

Falling down… Ah

悠久の記憶と闇に囚われし少女が一人
魔女の烙印と呪詛は 再び刻まれる

yuukyuu no kioku to yami ni torawareshi shoujo ga hitori
majo no rakuin to juso wa futatabi kizamareru

A girl is trapped in darkness and the memories of eternity, all alone,
the brand and curse of a witch will be re-engraved



愚者ノ魂ヲ 喰ラウ 世界
永久ニ与エヨウ 穢レノナイ 断罪ヲ・・・!

gusha no tamashii wo kurau sekai
towa ni ataeyou kegare no nai sabaki wo...!

This world εατς the souls οφ fools,
Thus, you shall οβταιν the ιμμαcuλατε conδεμνnation of ετερnity…!



絶望の黒き物語 月の狂気と交わる
背徳の盟約を 残したまま
深淵に消えゆく・・・

zetsubou no kuroki monogatari tsuki no kyouki to majiwaru
haitoku no meiyaku wo nokoshita mama
shinen ni kieyuku...

A black tale of despair, the lunacy of the moon mingles
with the immoral pact, and what still remains
will disappear into the abyss…


炎に抱かれ・・・

honoo ni dakare...

Engulfed in the flames…

亡者ガ彷徨ウ 暗イ世界
永久ニ与エヨウ 穢レノナイ 断罪ヲ・・・!

mouja ga samayou kurai sekai
towa ni atae you kegare no nai sabaki wo...!

The δεαδ wander ιν this δαρκ world,
Thus, you shall οβταιν the ιμμαcuλατε conδεμνnation of ετερnity…!


彷徨い人が 死のワルツに吸い込まれてく
「サァ、踊り続ケマショウ・・・人形ノ様ニ・・・」

samayoi hito ga shi no warutsu ni suikomareteku
「saa, odori tsudzukemashou... ningyou no you ni...」

The wandering ones are sucked into a death waltz,
“Now, λετ’ς keep ον dancing, λικε a πυππετ…”


絶望の黒き物語 月の狂気と交わる
背徳の盟約を 残したまま
紡がれてく・・・
歪な黒き物語 虚無に愛された呪縛
悲劇の傷跡 忘れぬように
輝き続ける Καιρόςの砂時計

zetsubou no kuroki monogatari tsuki no kyouki to majiwaru
haitoku no meiyaku wo nokoshita mama
tsumugareteku...
ibitsu na kuroki monogatari kyomu ni aisareta jubaku
sangeki no kizuato wo wasurenu you ni
kagayaki tsutsukeru Kairos no sunadokei

A black tale of despair, the lunacy of the moon mingles
with the immoral pact, and what still remains,
will be spun together…
A distorted black tale, a spell to be loved by nothingness
Scars of tragedy will be given to you, so you will never forget.
the hourglass of Kairos continues to shine



Translation notes:

I half typed this in Greek letters, so if you cannot read the Greek alphabet, here are the original scripts:


This world eats the souls of fools,
Thus, you shall obtain the immaculate condemnation of eternity…!

“Now, let’s keep on dancing, like a puppet…”

The dead wander in this dark world,
Thus, you shall obtain the immaculate condemnation of eternity…!
“Now, let’s keep on dancing, like a puppet…”
