Gikyokugensou Merveilles: Story and Characters

On the left we see Olivia in orange and purple, on the right we see Alisha in pink. Character info taken from their booth.pm keychain page.

Olivia (CV : Yumi Hara)

A popular dancer who works at the "Twilight Black Cat Pavilion", a tavern for adventurers.
She used to be a member of the "Shadows Brigade", a clan of assassins that no longer exists.

Height : 162cm
Age : 24 years old
Blood type : O
Bust : F (I refuse to believe she is smaller than Alisha, prolly has to do with her underbust being slightly larger due to her being a lot taller but okay..)

Alisha (CV : Aya Uchida)

A dreaming maiden from Wonderland.
Her special ability is singing and her beautiful voice attracts many people.

Height : 148cm
Age : 18 years old
Blood type : O
Bust : G

The story is not translated as good as I wished, but I have to depend solely on my ears... Maybe someday I'll add some revisions to it, but yeah I think the general outline should be clear. Girl meets girl, they perform, have fun, girls leave for trip :).

Story (Condensed a bit):

Prologue:

Alisha arrives in the brilliant town where Olivia works. She goes into a bar, because she is tired and hungry, but she is pretty poor right now. There is light in the store where Olivia works, the "Twilight Black Cat Pavilion". Olivia introduces herself as dancer, bartender and former assassin.  Olivia is about to give a performance. Alisha walks in and then the two "meet by chance"

Merveilles starts to play

Chapter 1:

Alisha finds the bar very busy. Olivia is surprised by seeing a "young girl" like Alisha, thinks she doesn't drink, Alisha confirms that, but Olivia offers to make sweet cocktails instead. Olivia introduces herself again and Alisha tells her story that she got poor because she slacked on singing (which made her money to travel and to eat and to stay at places). Olivia offers her to perform a song with her in exchange for paying her food and drink. Alisha is tempted... and the show begins! Olivia introduces Alisha, who is good at singing to the audience and they go on the stage together. She introduces herself again as Alisha, the dreaming maiden from Wonderland and starts singing.

From Wonderland starts to play

Chapter 2: 

The audience claps and Olivia compliments her, telling she's very jouzu. Olivia asks her if she had heard the rumours of an soirée and if that led her to this town. Alisha confirms and Olivia asks her if she wants to perform on the evening party. Alisha immediately says yes and then realised what she did. Olivia tells her that she can also dance. She proposes to perform together, Alisha is a bit unsure and asks if she will do okay with Olivia dancing next to her. Olivia tells her the soirée is next week, to Alisha's big surprise, who insecurely doubts if she can pull something together in that short time. Olivia tells her it will be okay, to rely on her and that she will tell the comittee that Alisha will join.
Then she starts her own performance in the bar and tells Alisha to watch her closely

"I shall show you today too, my guise, dancing together with the shadows"

 Larva no Genei starts to play

Chapter 3: 

A few days have passed, Olivia comes to wake up Alisha by knocking on her door and asks her if she slept well. Alisha tells her that she normally is good at waking up in the morning, but since she helps out in the tavern and  performs every night, she is a little tired but has to do her best! Olivia tells her she of big help with helping at the store, she is cute, which does good to her popularity with the adventurers! Alisha tells her she's good at cooking and making sweets. Olivia expresses her doubts if those sweets fit the liquors well but ought to try it. Then the two get moving to the usual place. Alisha mentions their routine, afternoon for preparation, evening for the store and morning for practice. Alisha then wonders when Olivia even sleeps *ominous music plays*. (Olivia dodges the question pretty much) Olivia says that even though they met the past week Alisha picked her stuff up fast. But there is one more thing they need to take care off, a remnant of an assassin band called the "Shadows Brigade", which might target the festival and she doesn't allow for sacrifices, and that is her distinction between the other remnants. Alisha disturbs her by calling out her name, as she is rambling lost in thoughts and having a troubled expression on her face. Then she mentions how unique the place is where they are just out of the town, as they are surrounded by trees and there is a flowing river. Olivia says that it is silent, there are no people around she often comes here to practise as she can focus here. Alisha remarks that it's almost a secret spot. Then the two practise dancing with Alisha, and Olivia mentions it cannot be that hard. Alisha figures she can copy the movements of Olivia and will manage. Olivia then says that the dance is a tribute of the people to the harvest and to celebrate the spring and that it's a dance with a fitting song. It was easy to remember and the two dance together.

"Bringing happiness, The dance of the Spring wind"

La Primavera starts to play

Chapter 4: 

*ominous music*

"I am Alisha, you should know that by now ehehe, wanting to see the rumoured soirée, I came to this town, I can't believe I will perform on that stage myself! But there is something.. I don't have my memories of Wonderland and before that anymore. Probably, it wasn't like that at the beginning, but slowly I became a resident of Wonderland and then... as I travel, sing and dance, maybe I can find back what I lost. As long as, I can enjoy it, I am content. And now I can perform a play on a vivid stage!"
*buzzer*
"Okay the curtains are going up, are you ready, Alisha?"
"Yeah, it surely will go well!"
"Yes, from now on we both colour this stage as primas!"
"The start of this vivid play!"

Soirée starts to play

Chapter 5: 

*clapping sounds*

Alisha is out of breath and found the excitement in the audience great. Alisha knows something is on Olivia's mind. Olivia mentions a possible attack on a noble in the audience. Alisha is shocked, but Olivia tells her to keep on a pokerface on stage. Alisha reluctantly agrees. Olivia spots the assailant and then and they play the final song.
"A former Shadows Brigade member, Olivia of Illusions, I will hold back my former comrades"
Alisha is shocked by how Olivia changes the scenery by just a dance and they go off to another world (this is what I interpret..?) to fight of the assailant. (A lot of words I cannot interpret well without a transcription)

"My shadows! Accomplish your mission!"

Dancing Shadow starts to play

Chapter 6: 

The two have a day off, because they made a lot of money due to avoiding the attack. Alisha asks Olivia if she knew the assailant and what happened to him or her. Olivia told her the assailant went far away and that he used to be one of her comrades. Then Alisha asks Olivia if she was also part of that, Olivia confirms it but denies doing "bad things". She said she had acquired the nickname "Olivia of Illusions" just said that the males played instruments and the females danced and says it's ironic that it's now paying her bread. They move to a stand, Olivia buys Alisha a pendant she likes and she states she is a little sad Alisha will leave tomorrow. Alisha said she indeed gathered quite some funds and could continue her travels, which she really likes. Olivia says that Alisha's songs have a power to make people happy and Alisha says Olivia's dances have the same power. Alisha wants to sing a last song for Olivia. 

"From here on, the stories of dreams will continue"

Mugen Alicetale starts to play

Epilogue:

Alisha is about to leave and reminiscences a bit about her stay: She performed on the big stage, she enjoyed meeting Olivia and living with her and it was relaxing. She hears a voice "Wait!" in the distance. Olivia comes running and Alisha asks her if she ran after her to tell her if she forgot something. "I made it!" Olivia says out of breath. She says: "No, you're wrong" but I want to go on the trip with you." Alisha is very surprised. Olivia continues with that she had been thinking about it for the past ~3 days and only if she is not a bother. Alisha thinks it's okay, but is worried about the tavern, as Olivia was the face of the store, attracting many adventurers. Olivia replies it will be okay if she discussed it with the master, as it is something she still wants to enjoy while she is young. In exchange, she promises to work even harder when she is back, as it is the place she calls home. And Alisha enthusiastically replies that she also wants to help out. Olivia proposes that they will then try out making sweets that fit liquor. There are still a lot of worlds that they do not know and should explore. Olivia pensively mentions "the legend of never before worlds... and the other name Fantasia" (-LostFairy-'s stories) much to Alisha's surprise. She mentions she had heard of them before in the Shadows brigade. "A world enclosed by the magic of darkness in which a demon princess lives" (Melusine?), "A girl with a mysterious power and coffin? (not fully understanding the first words, but possibly Priscilla) " "A not actually perished Vampire of Dusk (Carmilla), the power hidden in a mysterious village of a holy maiden and a witch(Luna and Stella)" There are a lot of Fantasias they still can go to, but they don't know if they actually exist. Can't find out except by trying! And Olivia agrees that it might be good to have a goal for their trip. She also wants to do something about Alisha's memories. Their first destination is an old big city....(I wonder which... is it Fernestadt?). Alisha asks Olivia if she knows the city.

"Oneesan ni makasete" - Olivia

Then... Let's depart!!!!

Kanji lyrics (Merveilles)

Merveilles

”ねぇねぇ、そこのあなた
    招待状はお持ちかしら?”

”今宵、魅せてあげる
    素敵な時間になるわ”

扉が開く

一緒に歌いましょう 夢を語る甘い声で
一緒に踊りましょう 情熱に身を委ねて

不思議な旅の先で 不意に訪れた偶然に
応えるように 少しずつ 運命の歯車が廻る...

出会った二人は舞台の上で

光を受けて
    闇の中でも… 強く輝けるの永遠に

詩的に紡いだ言葉で 歌い 踊り続け
奇跡を呼ぶ「戯曲」

揺らめく影を伝い 不意に訪れた偶然に
動き出した秒針が 運命の足音を刻む…    

出会った二人は舞台の上で

光を受けて
    闇の中でも… 強く輝けるの永遠に

詩的に紡いだ言葉で 歌い 踊り続け
奇跡を呼ぶ「戯曲」

「幻想」を奏でましょう


From Wonderland


小さな何か 追いかけて 現実から落っこちた
ここは一体 何処なのか お願い誰か教えて… ねぇ?

不思議な笑みを浮かべ しましま猫がやって来て
まだ見ぬ物語に 私を導いたの…

迷い込んだ 薄暗い森の中 ちょっと優雅な庭園で
帽子を被った狂人の 騒がしい Tea Party が始まる

‘‘ほらほら、耳だけ見えてる!こっちを向いて!”

真っ白なウサギは 足早に駆け抜け
止まってた時計が Tick-Tack… 動き出す
あやふやな世界は 何色に見えるの?
瞳に写る全てが キラキラ輝いた

おとぎ話の中で描いた夢を 歌ってあげる
La La La… From Wonderland ♪

嗚呼 目が廻る...

甘くNonsenseな日々を繰り返す ちょっと優雅な庭園で
帽子を被った狂人の 騒がしい Tea Party が始まる

‘‘さぁさぁ、姿を見せてよ!一緒に遊ぼう!”

真っ白なウサギは 足早に駆け抜け
止まってた時計が Tick-Tack… 動き出す
終わらない「戯曲」と「幻想」と呼べるの?
応えを探すため 私は飛び出した

おとぎ話の中で描いた夢を 歌ってあげる
La La La… From Wonderland ♪

夢見る乙女!

ラルヴァの幻想


空が黄昏れ 華やぐ舞台で
風のように 手を取り 見つめ 愛を囁く
旋律に委ね 揺らめく私に
魅せられたのならば 情熱の虜になれる

‘‘軽やかに、踊りましょう”
    リズムを刻み 投げキッスをしながら
‘‘艶やかに、踊りましょう”
    今宵は甘い夢に酔いしれる…

彷徨える旅人は 影に抱かれて 暁に沈むでしょう
情熱の鼓動に 爪弾かれた「戯曲」が たとえ淡い「幻想」でも

嗚呼… 影身に色付く劣情
それを愛と呼ぶなら きっと幸せでしょう
優しさに飢えた あなたの心は
何も出来ないまま 私におぼれてゆくの

‘‘軽やかに、踊りましょう”
    エールの先に 投げキッスをしながら
‘‘艶やかに、踊りましょう”
    朝まで 甘い夢は終わらない…

燃え上がる炎のような 想いの鎖は 愛憎へと変わるでしょう
情熱の鼓動に 爪弾かれた「戯曲」が たとえ淡い「幻想」でも

嗚呼… 影身に色付く劣情
それを愛と呼ぶなら きっと幸せでしょう
魅惑の舞踏は あなたの心を
永遠に縛りつける ラルヴァの幻想となる

堕ちてゆく... 虚無の果てまでも

La Primavera


一面に咲く花で飾られた 色鮮やかなこの場所で
夢を彩る人たちが 輪になって収穫の祈りを

教会の鐘の音が鳴り響き 人が行き交うこの場所で
飄々とした吟遊詩人が 旅の欠片を紡ぎ始める

華やぐ街を歩いて 何となく耳をすませば
楽しげに踊る少女たちの 歌声が聞こえる

優しく奏でる風の音色が 春の訪れを告げる
変わらない情景を 慈しむように
運命の女神は 無垢な願いを叶えた
花びら舞い 街を春色に染め上げて…

永遠に踊る輪舞曲

教会の鐘の音が鳴り響き 人が行き交うこの場所で
ハッ と驚かせた道化師が 歓声を呼び 笑い続ける

華やぐ街を歩いて 何となく耳をすませば
楽しげに踊る少女たちの 歌声が聞こえる
 
優しく奏でる風の音色が 春の訪れを告げる…

祝福に満ちた 小さな奇跡は 光の「戯曲」を描く
いつか見た 終わりなき「幻想」のように
運命の女神は 無垢な願いを叶えた
花びら舞い 街を春色に染め上げて…

永遠に踊る輪舞曲
  ‘‘語り続けられた、春の物語”

Soirée


月の綺麗な今宵は 共に闇の中へ…

闇の時間に「不思議な世界」で 人知れず開かれる
光を纏った可憐な乙女は 目も眩む華やかな舞台へ…

煌びやかドレスで着飾って 宝石を散りばめて
鏡の前でふわりと回れば 特別な「お姫様」になる

軽やかなステップで 螺旋階段を駆け上がる

響く音色に合わせ 高らかに 優雅に ヒールを鳴らす
咲き誇る薔薇のように舞いながら 全ての視線を奪い去るの

誰もが羨まほどに 美しくなりたい… 嗚呼


真夜中の舞踏会 夜が明けるまで踊りましょう

響く音色に合わせ 高らかに 優雅に ヒールを鳴らす
咲き誇る薔薇のように舞いながら 消えない魅惑の夢を歌うの

誰もが羨まほどに 美しくなれるわ... きっと

闇の時間に「不思議な世界」で 人知れず開かれる
光を纏った可憐な乙女は 目も眩む華やかな舞台へ…

Dancing Shadow


揺らめいて 妖艶な姿が
呼び覚ます 虚ろな無数の影

その影は 光を伝って
闇に消え 音も立てず 縛り付ける

罪深く 生きた記憶も
時が経てば 色褪せるでしょう

‘‘それでも、拭えぬなら… 私に溺れて”
 

この「戯曲」を演じるため 輝き続けた
今宵も夢を抱き 影と共に踊る

漆黒に染まる舞台で

‘‘動けないなら… もう、私の虜ね”

その影は 光を伝って
闇に消え 音も立てず 縛り付ける

情熱の鼓動が 鳴り響き
静かに迫る影身が… あなたを… 離さない

この「戯曲」を演じるため 輝き続けた
今宵も夢を抱き 影と共に踊る

「幻想」の彼方まで


夢幻アリステイル

いつもと変わらぬ 退屈な時間が過ぎてく
鏡を見つめ一人呟く...``何処へ行けるのかな?”

不思議な光が キラキラと私を導く
鏡の向こう側に飛び込む 「おとぎ話」

‘‘胸を刺す苦しみや悲しみは 
闇の中に 捨ててしまえばいい”

幻のような 新しい世界で探すよ 夢の続きを

広がる 空白の地図 描きながら
鳥のように 空を羽ばたく... 何処へでもいけるから
たとえ 明日への道に迷っても
軌跡の果て 確かめるまで 歌い続ける...

                                       
散りばめられた 夢の欠片が 私を彩る
誰にも邪魔されることない 「おとぎ話」

‘‘追憶も心の鎖も 
光の中で 解き放てるから”

幻のような 新しい世界に刻むよ 夢のすべてを

広がる空白の地図描きながら
闇を祓い 光が射す... 私だけの楽園
そして 悠久の時間が流れても
至純の歌で物語を 紡ぎ続ける

このまま... 夢の彼方へ...

戯曲幻想メルヴェイユ (Gikyokugensou Merveilles) - CD Presentation Page

Merry Christmas, Happy birthday Noël! I hereby present you the presentation page of -LostFairy-'s third Cross Fantasia!

I just finished my Symholic x Xorsizer stuff so I almost wanted to type X-fantasia hahahaha! This CD is a cross-over between the Madrigale CD and a new character named Olivia. The two girls meet in a bar and drink... I remember making a preview post of the -LostFairy- streams long ago and Noël made the remark that Alisha is only 18 and can't drink, but as it is another world it is all fine!! I think back then I also joked about their boobs being huge, Olivia being an F cup but looking much bigger than Alisha with her G cup LOL. I can't believe that announcement came out before Ciel de Miel, it feels like an eternity ago.

I'm not going to re hype as much as I would, neither will I link the crossfade here, as I already made a hype post in October... So let's get to business.

The story has been translated here

The tracks have been uploaded on Spotify by the way

This CD is very good with good gothic vibes! I guess I like the songs in order: 12>10>02>06>04>14>08

The Hungarian Dance no 05 reference in Dancing Shadow haha, I sometimes don't know why I have that much classical knowledge, I guess it's just me having been a violinist until my mid teens. Only track 10 and 14 are remakes from the Madrigale CD. Rest is all original iirc!

I don't think I will re-translate Mugen Alicetale and Soirée, the differences are quite minimal, there is another voice line by Alisha in Soirée and a slightly different way of denoting the lyrics. Mugen Alicetale is the same, except for that the lyrics are written down on a different way as well (will be reflected in the kanji transcription for both songs).

新世界より(Shinsekai yori) - From the new world - Romaji and Translation

We have arrived at the next song, the song of the heart. Aah this song is so sad... I almost cried when translating it. Both Satsuki's and Rekka's version are very nice. I imagine Alicia traveling to a new world, to reach that place, she had to leave behind everything she held dear. I imagine the song to be a subconcious prayer/letter to the person Alicia wants to reach the most (in my translation it is "you"), before everything fades to nothingness and her memories do not recover. 

This song has also been included in the Valkyria album, the only thing that was changed there is the dialog, which has been omitted

Translation:

懐かしい波音に 思わず振り返る
今でも強く残る 心の傷跡

natsukashii namine ni omowazu furikaeru
imademo tsuyoku nokoru kokoro no kizuato

The nostalgic sound of the waves make me look back without thinking
at the scars that still have a heavy impact on my heart


気付けば 面影を探してるけれど
手を伸ばしては そよ風に触れるだけ

kidzukeba omokage wo sagashiteru keredo
te wo nobashite wa soyo kaze ni fureru dake

If only I would realise, I would be looking for your traces,
but I only feel the breeze when I stretch out my hand


あの地へと続く海は 鈍色に染まる
悲しい記憶と共に...

ano chi he to tsudzuku umi wa nibiiro ni somaru
kanashii kioku to tomo ni...

The sea that leads to that land is dyed in a dull colour
Together with my sad memories...


気付けば 一人で此処まで来たけれど
交わした約束は 今も果たせずに

kidzukeba hitori de koko made kita keredo
kawashita yakusoku wa ima mo hatasezu ni

If only I would realise, I would have come here alone until here,
but I made a promise to you that I still cannot fulfill


あの地へと続く海は 鈍色に染まる
悲しい記憶と共に...

ano chi he to tsudzuku umi wa nibiiro ni somaru
kanashii kioku to tomo ni...

The sea that leads to that land is dyed in a dull colour
Together with my sad memories...


行き場を失った想いは 彷徨い
声を聞くことも叶わず 儚く消える
幾多の街を越え 景色を巡っても
私の心だけは 過去に置き去りのまま

yukiba wo ushinatta omoi wa samayoi
koe wo kiku koto mo kanawazu hakanaku kieru
ikuta no machi wo koe keshiki wo megutte mo
watashi no kokoro dake wa kako ni okisaru no mama

My thoughts that have lost their way wander
Without being heard, they fleetingly disappear
It doesn't matter how many cities I cross and how many landscapes I go around
My heart has been left behind in the past


ookina kanashimi wa yagate chiisana omoide ni naru
moshi kanau nara wasurekaketeita no yasashisa de kono uta wo
otome no inori wo

Before long, a large grief will become a small reminiscence
If my wish is granted, I will sing this song with the kindness that I have forgotten
The prayer of a maiden


新世界より奏でる 優しい旋律
私の願いを乗せて...

shinsekai yori kanaderu yasashii senritsu
watashi no negai wo nosete...

From the new world, a gentle melody plays
Riding on my prayers...


最後に綴った手紙は 届いたのだろうか?
確かめる術もなく やがて追憶に変わる
いつしか思い出せば それだけでいい
想いを胸に刻み 見果てぬ夢の先へ

saigo ni tsudzutta tegami wa todoita no darou ka?
tashikameru sube mo naku yagate tsuioku ni kawaru
itsushika omoi daseba soredake de ii
omoi wo mune ni kizami mihatenu yume no saki he

The letter I wrote in the end, has it reached you?
There is no way to prove it, but soon it will change into a memory
If I would remember it one day, that alone is already fine
I encarve the feeling in my heart and continue towards my unfulfilled dream


穢れのない 乙女の祈りは...

kegare no nai otome no inori wa...

The prayers of a pure maiden...

Black Lolita - Romaji and Translation

REVISION 15/10/2022
I finally found out that "nigeru" just is "jet black", the latin word for it. I prefer NOT getting canceled on the internet, so I leave the romanisation of the titles and such as nigel lol. There is another version in the Arietta CD sung by Yuki. There are minor changes to the lyrics.

Instead of "nigeru no kyouen" "孤独な狂宴 (kodoku na kyouen)" is sung, lit. 'a lonely revelry'.
Another difference is that Priscilla makes a tiny appearance.
I think here she says 闇と共に 死を記憶せよ (Shi wo kiokuseyo), which I last time translated as: Thou shalt remember death!

The second time, instead of "nigeru no kyouen" , 悲劇の終焉 (Higeki no Shuuen) "The end of tragedy" is sung.

The next song is the song of the spade. I think the girl referred to in this song is Melusine, see the 7th album 呪われし亡国のメフィストフェレス), as Melusine does have a cursed eye and wears a Black (?) lolita dress, hence I'm quite certain of it. The "witch" version of Alisha in the booklet has her left eye covered with a card, so it can't be her. 

This song was quite short, I have few remarks on it, but boy those drums hit nicely ;3

Translation:

恐怖を射抜く天使のように 心の強さを身に纏う
kyofu wo inuku tenshi no you ni kokoro no tsuyosa wo mi ni matou
I clad myself in the strength of my heart, like an angel that pierces through fear

今日も一人ぼっち 黒いフリルで出かけましょ
kyou mo hitoribocchi kuroi furiru de dekakemasho
Today, I'm all alone again, let's go out dressed in black frills

そうよ 冷たいその瞳が 私の中の「闇」を呼び覚ます...
souyo tsumetai sono me ga watashi no naka no 「yami」 wo yobisamasu...
Yes... My cold eye... awakens the "darkness" that slumbers inside me...

-ニゲルの狂宴-
-nigeru no kyouen-
-a jet black revelry-

貴方たちには何も見えないの?... 私の右目に宿る魔眼が
歪んだ空と この身が交わり 翼を手に入れる
anatatachi ni wa nanimo mienai no? ... watashi no migi me ni yadoru magan ga
yuganda sora to kono mi ga majiwari tsubasa wo te ni ireru
Don't you all see anything? ... the evil eye that I wear in my right eye
The distorted sky and this body will mingle and I will receive wings

孤独をも恐れぬ力の渇望...
kodoku wo mo osorenu chikara no katsubou...
A thirst for the power of not even being afraid of loneliness...

-ニゲルの狂宴-
-nigeru no kyouen-
-a jet-black revelry-

貴方たちには何も見えないの?... 私の右目に宿る魔眼が
歪んだ空と この身が交わり 高く飛び立つ
anatatachi ni wa nanimo mienai no? ... watashi no migi me ni yadoru magan ga
yuganda sora to kono mi ga majiwari takaku tobitatsu
Don't you all see anything? ... the evil eye that I wear in my right eye
The distorted sky and this body will mingle and I will fly high


黒い翼で羽ばたく乙女は 今日も
誰も見れない 闇を張り翳す 夢を見る
kuroi tsubasa de habataku otome wa kyou mo
daremo mirenai yami wo furikazasu yume wo miru
Today, the maiden dreams of a world shrouded in darkness again,
flapping her black wings

呪々 (Juju) - Cursed - Romaji and Translation

 Lol, I had trouble figuring out the title of this song. I trust SuperCoolGuy with my romaji, so I will also trust his suggestion for the title of this song. Juju! This is the song of the Clover. I think I once referred to this song in one of the translations I did back in Januari: " 戯れの花畑 (Tawamure no Hanabatake) - The Flower Garden of Pranks, literally, I wrote there "Do you know the magic word that has as meaning "Cuteness is justice"? That is Madrigale! Oh wait... wrong album." Turns out we are just using a couple of magic words with "Honey" in this song :P. 

Translation:

"Kawaii wa seigi tte iu mahou no kotoba wo shitteru?
ehe, watashi datte tsukaeru wa, inishie yori tsutawaru otome no chi yo!"

"Do you know the magic words 'Cuteness is justice'?"
Ehe, you know, I can use it! The wisdom of a maiden that has been passed from ancient times!


偉大なる賢者たちが残した 古文書にも記されていない
本当の乙女だけが知ってる 秘密の呪文...
それは Honey Trap

idainaru kenjatachi ga nokoshita komonjo ni mo shirusarete inai
hontou no otome dake ga shitteru himitsu no jumon...
sore wa Honey Trap

Not even written in the ancient manuscripts of the sages
A secret spell that only a real maiden knows
That is "Honey Trap"


魔道士を気取って 可愛げに踊って 悩ましく迫って
恋の魔法... 効いてるでしょう?

madoushi wo kidotte kawaige ni odotte nayamashiku sematte
koi no mahou... kiiteru deshou?

Pretending to be a mage, I dance charmingly and seductively draw closer
"The Magic of Love"... Have you tried it?


不思議な力に導かれていると 思うだけじゃダメ
時々ポロリと 涙を流すふりも大事ね

fushigi na chikara ni michibikareteiru to omou dake ja dame
tokidoki porori to namida wo nagasu furi mo daiji ne

If you think that you are only being guided by a mysterious power, then you're wrong!
It's sometimes okay to pretend to cry and let your tears flow


美しく咲き誇る花のように あどけない姿
「見ていてね...  あざとく生きるのが、賢しい乙女よ♪」

utsukushiku sakihokoru hana no you ni adokenai sugata
「miteite ne... azatoku ikiru no ga, sakashii otome yo♪」

Like a beautifully blooming flower, I don an innocent appearance
"Look at me... living slyly is the way of a sagacious maiden♪!"


優雅な私も 儚い私も 割と自然に演じきれるわ
もしも 瞳を見つめられたら...
天使のように 甘く Honey Coming

yuuga na watashi mo hakanai watashi mo wari to shizen ni enjikireru wa
moshimo hitomi wo mitsumeraretara...
tenshi no you ni amaku Honey Coming

A graceful me and a vain me, I can act as both quite naturally
If you were to look at me in my eyes...
I'll be like sweet like an angel and use "Honey Coming"


魔道士を気取って 可愛げに踊って 悩ましく迫って
恋の魔法... 効いてるでしょう?
でも一人きり... すべては誰のせい?

madoushi wo ki totte kawaiige ni odotte nayamashiku sematte
koi no mahou... kiiteru deshou?
demo hitorikiri... subete wa dare no sei?

Pretending to be a mage, I dance charmingly and seductively draw closer
"The Magic of Love"... Have you tried it?
But you are alone... Who is to blame for everything?


不思議な力に見守られてたいと 願うだけじゃダメ
打ちのめされても 諦めない心が大事ね

fushigi na chikara ni mimamoraretetai to negau dake ja dame
uchi no mesaretemo akiramenai kokoro ga daiji ne

If you only wish that you want to be watched over by a mysterious power, then you're wrong!
It's important to not lose heart if you are beaten up


メビウスの輪のように終わりのない 燃え盛る想い
「見ていてね... 最後に笑うのは、賢しい乙女よ♪」

mebiusu no wa no you ni owari no nai moesakaru omoi
「miteite ne... saigo ni warau no wa, sakashii otome yo♪」

Like a Möbius strip, my blazing feelings are endless
"Look at me... The one who is laughing last is me, the sagacious maiden♪!"

Translation notes:

- otome no chi yo! 

I think Noël means "Wisdom" here and not blood. I also am not sure if it is yo or wo, but it doesn't really matter.

Soirée - Romaji and Translation

This song has been labeled with the "Diamond" of the cards of a deck. This is a reference to Alice in Wonderland. The word Soirée is French for evening, but in English it is more used in the context of an evening party. The first song is a nice opening to the CD. We enter an entire new world (heh, but that's the title of the 4th song/track 5) that only opens at night... This song has been translated from the point of view of Alicia.

This song appears again on the Merveilles album, this time sang by Yuki. The spoken line is different and the transcription actually is different as well but I'm not bothering to write it out twice in a translation (I did write it out like it should be in the booklet of Merveilles in the Merveilles kanji page). Issho ni Hanayaka ni is the Merveilles text.

Translation:


月の綺麗な今宵は 共に闇の中へ…
tsuki no kirei na koyoi wa tomo ni yami no naka he...
Tonight, the moon is so beautiful, let's fall into the darkness together...

さぁ、踊りましょう  || 一緒に華やかに
saa, odorimashou          ||  Issho ni hanayaka ni!
Now, let's dance            || Together! Brilliantly

闇の時間に「不思議な世界」で 人知れず開かれる
光を纏った可憐な乙女は 目も眩む華やかな舞台へ…
yami no jikan ni 「fushigi na sekai」 de hitoshirezu hirakareru
hikari wo matotta karen na otome wa me mo kuramu hanayaka na butai he
When darkness falls, a "mysterious world" nobody knows of opens
Wrapped in light, a cute maiden with dazzling eyes, goes to that brilliant stage...


きらびやかなドレスで着飾って 宝石を散りばめて
                  レディ
鏡の前でフワリと回れば 特別な「お姫様」になる
kirabiyaka na doresu de kikazatte houseki wo chiribamete
kagami no mae de fuwari to mawareba tokubetsu na 「lady」 ni naru
Dressed up in a gorgeous dress with enlaced with gemstones
When I twirl lightly in front of the mirror, I will become a special "lady"


軽やかなステップで 螺旋階段を駆け上がる
karoyaka na suteppu de rasen kaidan wo kakeagaru
With light steps, I run up the spiral staircases

響く音色に合わせ 高らかに 優雅に ヒールを鳴らす
咲き誇る薔薇のように舞いながら 全ての視線を奪い去るの
hibiku neiro ni awase takaraka ni yuuga ni hiiru wo narasu
sakihokoru bara no you ni mai nagara subete no shisen wo ubai saru no
Fitting the sound of the music, loudly and gracefully, my heels resounds
As I dance like a fully-blooming flower, I steal away all eyes


誰もが羨まほどに 美しくなりたい
daremo ga urayama hodo ni utsukushiku naritai
"I want to be so beautiful that everyone is jealous of me"


嗚呼...
ah...
Ah...

真夜中の舞踏会 夜が明けるまで踊りましょう
mayonaka no butoukai yoru ga akeru made odorimashou
"Let's dance at the midnight ball until the dawn breaks"


響く音色に合わせ 高らかに 優雅に ヒールを鳴らす
咲き誇る薔薇のように舞いながら 消えない魅惑の夢を歌うの
hibiku neiro ni awase takaraka ni yuuga ni hiiru wo narasu
saki hokoru bara no you ni mai nagara kienai miwaku no yume wo utau no
Fitting the sound of the music, loudly and gracefully, my heels resounds
As I dance like a fully-blooming flower, I steal away all eyes


誰もが羨まほどに 美しくなれるわ... きっと
daremo ga urayama hodo ni utsukushiku nareru wa... kitto
"I will surely be so beautiful that everyone is jealous of me"

闇の時間に「不思議な世界」で 人知れず開かれる
光を纏った可憐な乙女は 目も眩む華やかな舞台へ…
yami no jikan ni 「fushigi na sekai」 de hito shirezu hirakareru
hikari wo matotta karen na otome wa me mo kuramu hanayaka na butai he...
When darkness falls, a "mysterious world" nobody knows of opens
Wrapped in light, a cute maiden with dazzling eyes, goes to that brilliant stage...

- さぁ、踊りましょう has been written in the booklet but not in the song itself, it is on a page

乙女が紡ぐ古のマドリガーレ (Otome ga tsumugu inishie no madrigale) - CD Translation

Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland CD, where cute is justice!

Have you heard the crossfade yet? If no here it is:

"Huff! This is the inside of my heart! A strange world, heh? It is almost a place that could come out of a fairytale! Well then, you, who has been peeking from there for a while, do you know what Madrigale is? Naaahhh... You certainly don't know! I shall tell you the meaning! A song of the heart, passed down from ancient times! Being coloured by four fragments, a real maiden, Nami, will continue to sing that, is what is told by others! Oh yes, I came here to become a real maiden too! It seemed to be fun! Diamond, Clover, Spade, Heart, I have the feeling these four cards are trying to hint at something. Hmmmm... in that case, Beauty, Cleverness, Strength, Kindness, are those four needed? I wonder if I can do it... If I put effort in it and think well and face my fears and sadness... No! I can't be timid here! Next to that, singing is my speciality! Inside my heart, I will spin the four fragments together and will certainly complete the "Madrigale"! Well, here I go! It's... not scary at ... all! The dreaming maiden... is me...

Not sure what "Shin no Otome" is but I figure it is this "真", which means "real/true/honest"

Did you know that the voice actress of Alicia (the girl on the cover) is Kotori from Love Live?! Well hereby you know! 

The order in which I like the songs is 4>3=5=2>6.  4 has the best beat and I think it refers to Melusine, as it mentions her brother (Nigel). 3 is really strange yet good, the talking part is really cute. 2 is also pretty nice. Shinsekai Yori is also a good song, but I don't like it as much as the others until I translated it, but the last song is also good. it is a remaster of one of the songs of the first album.
