Nostalgia - Romaji and Translation

We have our first song! This song tells us a not so unfamiliar story about the two girls from Ataraxia and their power of eternity and our Vampire woman Carmilla. Darkness/The moon is symbolised by Luna, Light/the stars is symbolised by Stella and (the one thirsting for blood in) dusk is symbolised by Carmilla. They finally meet in this song... After having found the mirror of reminiscence...

In terms of composition I think this one is pretty good, it is dark enough for my likings. The harmonies are nicely done, the melody is nice, the lyrics are nice.
The title of the song and the content match up nicely, they briefly retell the story of the main characters of both cds and they briefly tell about their past (nostalgy) and their meeting.

祈りに導かれし光と 記憶に眠る闇が交わる
「悠久」の運命に見を委ね 紡がれてくゆく「幻想」
星詠と月影の奇跡は 宵闇の呪縛を解き放つ
遥か彼方から聞こえてくる 終焉の鐘が…

inori ni michibikareshi hikari to kioku ni nemuru yami ga majiwaru
「yuukyuu」 no sadame ni mi wo yudane tsumugareteyuku 「gensou」
hoshiyomi to tsukikage no kiseki wa yoiyami no jubaku wo tokihanatsu
haruka kanata kara kikoetekuru shuuen no kane ga...

The light guided by prayers and the darkness that sleeps in the memory intertwine
Devoting themselves to the fate of “Eternity”, they continue to weave “fantasies”
The miracles of stargazing and moonlight unleash the spell of dusk
From a distant place, the bells of demise can be heard…


数え切れない程の 語り継がれた伝承に
いつか 辿り着いてみたいと 無垢な想いを抱く
誰も知らない夢

kazoe kirenai hodo no katari tsugareta denshou ni
itsuka tadoritsuite mitai to muku na omoi wo idaku
daremo shiranai yume

An uncountable amount of stories have passed through the ages
I embraced my pure feelings that I would someday arrive
In a dream that nobody knows of


届かぬ心の叫びは 胸の中で響いた
血を求む飢えが 永遠に刻まれる
死せる体を飲み続け やがては心さえも

todokanu kokoro no sakebi wa mune no naka de hibiita
chi wo motomu ue ga towa ni kizamareru
shiseru karada wo mushibami tsutsuke yagate wa kokoro sae mo

The unreaching cries of my heart reverberated in my chest
The thirst for blood was eternally engraved
Continuing to drink dead bodies and eventually even my own heart

祈りに導かれし光と 記憶に眠る闇が交わる
「悠久」の運命に見を委ね 紡がれてくゆく「幻想」
星詠と月影の奇跡は 宵闇の呪縛を解き放つ
遥か彼方から聞こえてくる 終焉の鐘が…

inori ni michibikareshi hikari to kioku ni nemuru yami ga majiwaru
「yuukyuu」 no sadame ni mi wo yudane tsumugarete yuku 「gensou」
hoshiyomi to tsukikage no kiseki wa yoiyami no jubaku wo tokihanatsu
haruka kanata kara kikoetekuru shuuen no kane ga...

The light guided by prayers and the darkness that sleeps in the memory intertwine
Devoting themselves to the fate of “Eternity”, they continue to weave “fantasies”
The miracles of stargazing and moonlight unleash the spell of dusk
From a distant place, the bells of demise can be heard…

“懐かしい記憶を、心が滅び去る前に”
“古の奇跡が、二人に訪れるように”

"natsukashii kioku wo, kokoro ga horobisaru mae ni"
"inishie no kiseki ga, futari ni otozureru you ni"

“A nostalgic memory, before my heart will be destroyed”
“May the ancient miracle come to both of us”


Nostalgia...
