Strega - Romaji and Translation

This song is really growing on me! Yuki's voice is eerily haunting it's amazing! So this song is about the branding of the Witch of the Abyss or Luna, there is no way to be sure of it. The translation is a little bit strange: You should read the parts between (brackets) together and the parts without brackets together. I imagine the lyrics between brackets are a chant that is sung during the branding and the part without brackets describes what is happening.

"Strega" is the Italian word for witch. And witchcraft of Southern European origin is called Stregheria. Someone with deviant/different behaviour would often be connected to bad luck or incidents, as a consequence the person would be marked a witch and get punished... This is what happens in this song too. A girl who is a little different (maybe because of her heterochromia) is burnt on a witch circle, but she is strong enough to survive the judgement and probably destroys those who burnt her instead. (This is my speculation, it's not exactly clear to me either...)

Translation:

罪深き炎の中で・・・

tsumibukaki honoo no naka de...

Amidst the sinful flames...

誰も知らぬ場所でただ１人
心閉ざし　歪んだ祈りを
Endless guilty blaze

daremo shiranu basho de tada hitori
kokoro tozashi yuganda inori wo
Endless guilty blaze

I'm all alone in a place that no one knows of
I close my heart and devote distorted prayers
Endless guilty blaze

誰も知らぬ場所でただ１人
荒んだ瞳で禁忌の言葉を繰り返す

daremo shiranu basho de tada hitori
susanda me de kinki no kotoba wo kurikaesu

I'm all alone in a place that no one knows of
I repeat the forbidden words with my degenerating eyes

生きてくことさえ許されぬならば
背徳の盟約に口づけを・・・
“血に染められし物語”

ikiteku koto sae yurusarenu naraba
haitoku no meiyaku ni kuchidzuke wo...
"chi ni somerareshi monogatari"

If I am not allowed to live
I will seal this immoral pact with my lips...
"A tale dyed in Blood"

Glory Tale 深紅のStrega
「断罪」に抗うため
Regret Faith　炎を纏い　踊る　踊る
深い闇へ　堕ちてく・・・

Glory Tale shinku no Strega
「danzai」 ni aragau tame
Regret Faith honoo wo matoi odoru odoru
fukai yami he ochiteku...

(Glory Tale, Crimson Strega)
in order to resist the "judgement",
(Regret Faith) wrapped in flames, I dance and dance
and fall in a deep darkness...

忘れられし場所でただ１人
狂気に似た　悲痛の叫びを　繰り返す

wasurerareshi basho de tada hitori
kyouki ni nita hitsuu no sakebi wo kurikaesu

I'm all alone in a place that has been forgotten by everyone
I repeat screams of pain on the border of insanity

生きてく事さえ許されぬならば
背徳の盟約に口づけを・・・
“灰になるまで焼き尽くす”

ikiteku koto sae yurusarenu naraba
haitoku no meiyaku ni kuchidzuke wo
"hai ni naru made yakitsukusu"

If I am not allowed to live
I will seal this immoral pact with my lips...
"I will burn everything till ashes"

Glory Tale 深紅のStrega
「恐れ」は消え去ったけれど
Regret Faith　人の心が　思い出せない

Glory Tale Shinku no Strega
「osore」 wa kiesatta keredo
Regret Faith hito no kokoro ga omoidasenai

(Glory Tale, Crimson Strega)
My "fear" has already disappeared, but
(Regret Faith,) I can no longer remember my human heart

戻レナイ・・・

modorenai...

I cαn'τ τυρν βαck

Glory Tale 最後のStrega
「惨劇」が幕を閉じる
Regret Faith　炎と共に　崩れ　滅ぶ
永遠の闇へ　堕ちてく・・・

Glory Tale saigo no Strega
「sangeki」ga maku wo tojiru
Regret Faith honoo to tomo ni kuzure horobu
towa no yami he ochiteku...

(Glory Tale, the last Strega)
the "Tragedy" ends here
(Regret Faith), everything crumbles and is destroyed together with the flames
and falls into an eternal darkness...


Translation notes:
- I have the habit to represent the usage of katakana with the greek alphabet. Thus, I cαn'τ τυρν βαck = I can't turn back

- Maybe the bracket system is a little bit hard to understand. I'll try to explain it better here:
