Necrofesta ~死の舞踏~ (Necrofesta ~Shi no Butou~) - Necrofesta ~Danse Macabre~ - Romaji and Translation

Great track!  Again the spoken lines have been written out partially in kanji due to being incomplete in the booklet. These lines are the ultimate revenge lines for Priscilla:

今宵は死の祝祭・・・
自らが殺めた者たちの手で、冥府に誘われるがいいわ

Tonight is the festival of death...
It would be nice if I was lead to the underworld, by the hands of those that have killed someone theirselves

"Those who have killed someone themselves". She means the people who slaughtered her village people.

I chose the translation "Danse Macabre" (French for death dance) because it sounds quite elegant. And with this song the story of Priscilla and her revenge is concluded!

不気味な程の　静寂の中
黒く輝く　刃を握り
虚ろな影が　闇に蠢く
始めよう　死の祝祭を...

bukimi na hodo no seijaku no naka
kuroku kagayaku yaiba wo nigiri
utsuro na kage ga yami ni ugomeku
hajime you shi no shukusai wo...

Inside an eerie silence,
she grasps a blackly shining blade
her hollow shadow crawls in the darkness
"Let's start the festival of death"

私欲の代償
愚かな「生」者に　冷たい「死」の導きを

shiyoku no daishou
oroka na 「sei」sha ni tsumetai「shi」no michibiki wo

An indemnification of selfish desire
"I shall guide the foolish 'living' beings to cold 'death'"

此処に蘇る...　復讐の焔　死の鼓動
冥府が手招き　血と肉が舞う
それはまるで　死の舞踏...　「灰」に宿る憎しみが
全てを飲み込み　少女は一人　微笑む

koko ni yomigaeru... fukushuu no hi shi no kodou
meifu ga temaneki chi to niku ga mau
sore wa marude shi no butou... 「hai」ni yadoru nikushimi ga
subete wo nomikomi shoujo wa hitori hohoemu

Here she revives... The flame of vengeance, the heartbeat of death
The realm of the death beckons, blood an flesh dance
It is almost like a danse macabre... the hate that is borne by the 'ashes'
Apprehending everything, a girl laughs all alone


Uhuhu, shisha wa kyoufu wo kanjinai no

Uhuhu, don't the death feel fear?

今宵は死の祝祭・・・
自らが殺めた者たちの手で、冥府に誘われるがいいわ

koyoi wa shi no shukusai...
mizukara ga ayameta monotachi no te de, meifuu ni izanawareru ga ii wa

Tonight is the festival of death...
It would be nice if I was lead to the underworld, by the hands of those that have killed someone theirselves


無慈悲な　女神の抱擁
愚かな「生」者に　冷たい「死」の導きを

mujihi na megami no houyou
oroka na 「seisha」ni tsumetai「shi」no michibiki wo

The embrace of a merciless goddess
"I shall guide the foolish 'living' beings to cold 'death'"

此処に蘇る...　復讐の焔　死の鼓動
冥府が手招き　血と肉が舞う
それはまるで　死の舞踏...　「灰」を纏う死者たちは
全てを成し遂げ　夜明けの光を迎え

koko ni yomigaeru... fukushuu no hi shi no kodou
meifu ga temaneki chi to niku ga mau
sore wa marude shi no butou... 「hai」wo matou shishatachi wa
subete wo nashitoge yoake no hikari wo mukae

Here she revives... The flame of vengeance, the heartbeat of death
The realm of the death beckons, blood an flesh dance
It is almost like a danse macabre... the dead that adorn themselves in 'ashes'
Fulfilling everything, she welcomed the light of the dawn

永遠の眠りを　さぁ...
静かに灰となり　土に還るの...

towa no nemuri wo saa...
shizuka ni hai to nari tsuchi ni kaeru no...

Now, let's sleep eternally
Quietly turn into ashes and return to the earth...

冥刻ミゼリア (meikoku mizeria) - Miseria of the Darkest Hour - Romaji and Translation

Interesting song, the text is so gothic but it feels more like a folk song. It kind of feels out of place in the album.

I think the song is about a doll which belonged to a little girl that lived in the village that had "gone to die". The doll is now ownerless and just watches the days go by, still as a doll is. She just observes life, while she cannot move on her own. The girl who passes by the doll and hopes that they will someday get souls probably is Priscilla. 

A part of the spoken lines were written out in the booklet, those have been explicitly stated here. The other lines are deduced by me and I do not write them out in kanji in general unless I'm 100% sure.

人形のワタシは　潰えた街で佇む
冥刻にだけ　暗闇から目覚める
...まるで人間のよう

ningyou no watashi wa tsuieta machi de tatazumu
meikoku ni dake kurayami kara mezameru
... marude ningen no you

I, just a doll, stand in a crumbling city
only in the darkest hour, I awaken from the darkness
... almost like a human

古びた腕を　動かすことも出来ずに
ただ「生」と「死」が　風と共に過ぎ去る

furubita ude wo ugokasu koto mo dekizu ni
tada 「sei」to「shi」 ga kaze to tomo ni sugisaru

I cannot even move my ancient arms
I only pass through "Life" and "Death" with the wind

幾千の星を数えて
眠れない夜に　夢を歌う

ikusen no hoshi wo kazoete
nemurenai yoru ni yume wo utau

I count countless stars
and on nights I cannot sleep, I sing out my dream

痛みを抱えて此処にいるよ　ずっと
この叫びが聞こえるなら　誰かワタシを連れて行って
見慣れた景色の向こうでは　きっと
夢の続きが見れるはず... そう信じて　遠い記憶を辿る

itami kakaete koko ni iru yo zutto
kono sakebi ga kikoeru nara dareka watashi wo tsurete itte
minareta keshiki no mukou de wa kitto
yume no tsudzuki ga mireru hazu... sou shinjite tooi kioku wo tadoru

I will be here forever, carrying my pain
someone, if you hear my screams, then take me with you
Beyond this scenery, which has gotten so familiar, surely,
I should be able to see the continuation of my dream... Believing that, I pursue my distant memories

古びた足を　動かすことも出来ずに
ただ「生」と「死」が　風と共に過ぎ去る

furubita ashi wo ugokasu koto mo dekizu ni
tada 「sei」to「shi」 ga kaze to tomo ni sugisaru

I cannot even move my ancient legs
I only pass through "Life" and "Death" with the wind

銀色の月を眺めて
眠れない夜に　夢を歌う

gin'iro no tsuki wo nagamete
nemurenai yoru ni yume wo utau

I gaze at the silvery moon
and on nights I cannot sleep, I sing out my dream

悠久の時を重ねて
色褪せぬ　永遠の夢を願う

yuukyuu no toki wo kasanete
iroasenu towa no yume wo negau

As the perpetual time goes on
I wish for a unfading dream of eternity

自由に飛べる翼があれば　きっと
動けないワタシでも　この世界を見渡せるのに

jiyuu ni toberu tsubasa ga areba kitto
ugokenai watashi demo kono sekai wo miwataseru no ni

If I had wings that could fly freely, then surely
even I, who cannot move now, could have a view over this world

不意に訪れた人形が　そっと
灰まみれの細い指で　ワタシに軽く触れたけど

fui ni otozureta hitokage ga sotto
hai mamire no hosoi yubi de watashi ni karuku fureta kedo

Suddenly a shadow of a person visited me and gently touched me
with her thin, ash stained fingers

可憐で儚げな少女は...　
「いつか人形にも魂が宿るといいね」
小さく呟き　闇に消えてく...

karen de hakanagena shoujo wa...
"Itsuka ningyou ni mo tamashii ga yadoru to ii ne"
chiisaku tsubuyaki yami ni kieteku...

The sweet and fragile girl... softly whispered
"It hope that dolls will have souls too, someday"
and disappeared into the darkness...

Ningyou ni wa, sei mo shi mo nai, demo ki ga tsukeba itsumo soba ni iru

Dolls don't know life and death, but once you notice them, they are always by your side

黒薔薇の葬送 (kuro bara no sousou) - Funeral of a Black Rose - Romaji and Translation

This is my favourite track of the album. The violins, the drums, awesome. I think this song actually symbolises the fall of Priscilla into the dark and the start of her revenge. She goes lunatic and starts reviving the people who lived inside her small town. Then she starts judging (slaughtering) those who hurt her and those around her.

死と交わる　孤独な儀式に狂い咲く　漆黒の薔薇

shi to majiwaru kodoku na gishiki ni kuruui saku shikkoku no bara

A jet-black rose mingles with death and blooms lunatically in a lonely ceremony

救いのない運命　死に絶えた世界に変わり果て
気高く悍ましい幻想に　襲われる

sukui no nai sadame shi ni taeta sekai ni kawarihate
kedakaku ozomashii gensou ni osowareru

A fate without salvation, completely changed in a died-out world
Attacked by a noble yet disgusting illusion

闇の中　ほら...死者の声
嘆きと叫びが響く

yami no naka hora... shisha no koe
nageki to sakebi ga hibiku

Hear... Inside the darkness.. the voices of the dead
Laments and screams echo

朽ちた聖母像が　惨劇をその姿で語り
気高く悍ましい幻想に　襲われる

kuchita Maria zou ga sangeki wo sono sugata de katari
kedakaku ozomashii gensou ni osowareru

The decayed Maria (holy mother) statue tells her tragedy by her appearance
Attacked by a noble yet disgusting illusion

闇の中　ほら...死者の影
揺らめく炎のように

yami no naka hora... shisha no kage
yurameku honoo no you ni

See... Inside the darkness... the shadows of the dead
Like flickering flames

嗚呼...　光の届かぬ　素敵な今宵は
愚かな者たちを屠る　裁きの時

ah... hikari no todokanu suteki na koyoi wa
oroka na monotachi wo hofuru sabaki no toki

Ah... this wonderful night, where light won't reach
tonight, it is the time of judgement, where we slaughter the fools

祈り　囁き　念じれば...　死者は　再び動き出す
崩れる　生と死の均衡…　彷徨う魂

inori sasayaki nenjireba... shisha wa futatabi ugokidasu
kuzureru sei to shi no kinkou... samayou tamashii

If you silently chant prayers and whispers... the dead will move once again
the crumbling equilibrium between life and death... spirits wander

死と交わる　孤独な儀式に狂い咲く　漆黒の薔薇

shi to majiwaru kodoku na gishiki ni kuruui saku shikkoku no bara

A jet-black rose mingles with death and blooms lunatically in a lonely ceremony

迫る　死者の群れ
舞い散る「灰」と踊る

semaru shisha no mure
maichiru 「hai」 to odoru

A crowd of the dead draws closer
They dance with the skattering "ashes"

嗚呼...　心の宿らぬ　冷たい身体に
私が与えよう　衰える憎悪の贄を

ah... kokoro no yadoranu tsumetai karada ni
watashi ga atae you tagiru zouo no nie wo

Ah... to this cold heartless body
I'll offer a sacrifice of my withering hatred

祈り　囁き　念じる... 死者は　再び動き出す
今こそ　憎しみの刃で... 冥府へ誘え

inori sasayaki nenjireba... shisha wa futatabi ugokidasu
ima koso nikushimi no yaiba de... meifu he izanae

If you silently chant prayers and whispers... the dead will move once again
Now, with this blade of hate... I invite you to the underworld

死と交わる　孤独な儀式に狂い咲く　漆黒の薔薇

shi to majiwaru kodoku na gishiki ni kuruui saku shikkoku no bara

A jet-black rose mingles with death and blooms lunatically in a lonely ceremony

Testament (Necrofesta version) - Romaji and Translation

This is a rehash from a song with the same name and melody from the first album, Aethyr. This time it is sung by Yuki and there are some minor alterations in the lyrics. A voice acting part has also been added. I think Priscilla was hidden in this forgotten cathedral and that is why she survived the slaughter of the town. She revives the ones who were important to her (she connects life and death) and starts the rest of the story. This track is my second favourite track from the album.

朽ちた聖堂に響く　古の旋律

kuchita seidou ni hibiku inishie no senritsu

Inside a forgotten cathedral, an ancient melody reverberates

小さな手を　骸に翳して唱える　禁じられし呪文
虚ろで　禍々しい感覚に支配される

chiisana te wo mukuro ni kazashite tonaeru kinjirareshi jumon
utsuro de magamagashii kankaku ni shihaisareru

Her little hands hold a skull and she chants a forbidden spell
she is guided by an ominous sensation from the void

-　畏れよ、我を　–
人間は罪深く 惨劇の日々を繰り返す
「白」の戒めを「黒」が蝕み　滅びの歯車が廻る
Ergo memento mori…

- osore yo, ware wo-
hito wa tsumibukaku sangeki no hibi wo kurikaesu
「shiro」 no imashime wo 「kuro」ga mushibami horobi no haguruma ga mawaru
Ergo memento mori...

- Fear me -
People are sinners, they repeat tragic days
"Darkness(black)" gnaws at the forbidden side of "Holiness(white)"
The gears of destruction start to turn
'Remember you have to die...'


闇夜に捧ぐ　狂信者の祈りが
冷たい「死」の香りを　此処に呼び寄せる
                　                                       フレア
灰を纏った少女に宿る　憎しみの炎

yamiyo ni sasagu kyoushinsha no inori ga
tsumetai 「shi」 no kaori wo koko ni yobiyoseru
hai wo matotta shoujo ni yadoru nikushimi no furea

The prayers of the zealots are devoted to the dark night
Called here by the smell of cold "death"
is a girl adorned in ashes, carrying a flame (flare) of hate

朽ちた聖堂に響く　古の旋律

kuchita seidou ni hibiku inishie no senritsu

Inside a forgotten cathedral, an ancient melody reverberates

Watashi wa meifu to gensei wo tsumugu
Inori wa yagate kami wo todoku no darou?

I connect the world of the living and the dead
I wonder if the prayers eventually reach the gods

微かに見える輝きは　死者を弔う炎か、それとも・・・
kasuka ni mieru kagayaki wa, shisha wo tomurau honoo ka, soretomo...
The faintly visible light, is it a flame to grieve for the death? Or...

-　畏れよ、我を　–
神は慈悲深く　死者を眠りから呼び覚ます
「白」の戒めを「黒」が蝕み　滅びの歯車が廻る
Ergo memento mori…

- osore yo, ware wo -
kami wa jihibukaku shisha wo nemuri kara yobisamasu
「shiro」no imashime wo「kuro」ga mushibami horobi no haguruma ga mawaru
Ergo memento mori...

- Fear me -
God is full of mercy, he will awaken the dead from their sleep
"Darkness(black)" gnaws at the forbidden side of "Holiness(white)"
The gears of destruction start to turn
'Remember you have to die...'

闇夜に捧ぐ　狂信者の祈りが
冷たい「死」に魅せられ　深く堕ちてゆく
                                                          フレア
灰を纏った少女に宿る　憎しみの炎

yamiyo ni sasagu kyoushinsha no inori ga
tsumetai 「shi」 ni miserare fukaku ochiteyuku
hai wo matotta shoujo ni yadoru nikushimi no furea

The prayers of the zealots are devoted to the dark night
Fascinated by the cold "death", she fell deep
a girl adorned in ashes, carrying a flame (flare) of hate

朽ちた聖堂に響く　魂の慟哭

kuchita seidou ni hibiku tamashii no doukoku

Inside a forgotten cathedral, the laments of souls reverberate

Translation note:

虚ろで　禍々しい感覚に支配される
she is guided by an ominous sensation from the void

I wasn't so sure how to translate this. None of the standard definitions of the particle で seeme to fit well in any translation I had in mind

冥府へ誘う灰のネクロフェスタ (Meifu he izanau hai no necrofesta) - CD Translation

HELLO READERS, I AM BACK ONCE AGAIN! Today, I present you the presentation page of the 9th Fantasia  "Meifu he izanau hai no necrofesta"! Literally: "Necrofesta of ashes that invites into the underworld" eh haha, okay not translating the title. I also am in such a productive mood I am actually offer the entire CD translation to y'all!

Haven't heard the crossfade yet? Here it is!

The cover girl, Priscilla, is voiced by no other than Takahashi Rie, which you undoubtly know for her role as Emilia from Re:Zero! 

Story Fragment: (I'm not so sure of this translation due to some barely audible parts and some uncommon words)

In just one night, a little town had gone to die... the people were treated like slaves... while they only wished for freedom... They only had that one wish... During that tragedy, I was hidden underground in a church... That is why I was saved. Ah... I hate those brutal hunters who stole our peacefulness... That is why I am resolved to get revenge... I wonder if you know that I'm actually a witch. Yes... Only I keep a watch on the chests of the dead. Ah... everyone has become a cold corpse... I have to give you all salvation with this unpleasant power. I am sorry... There is no other way than this. There are more than enough bones to use, I can make enough ashes from them. Let's start the ritual. Open your eyes once again. Let's fight together. Huhuhu... This is a revenge tragedy named "Funeral".  A festival of the souls of those who have died.

Thou shalt remember death!

The order in which I liked the songs was 3>2>5>4. I think 3 had a very nice gothic feel to it and Yuki's performance there is so great. I love the intro, like those jumps with the violin are so awesome and the drums are sick. 2 is pretty nice and dark too. 5 also is pretty nice. 4 is not bad at all, but it kind of misses the mark with me. The song sounds a bit ethnic, but with super gothic lyrics.
