Erlkönig ～亡国の君主～ (Erlkönig ~ Boukoku no Kunshu~) - ~Erlkönig ～Ruler of a ruined country～ - Romaji and Translation

And we have arrived at the final song, which tells how Melusine at last has devoted herself to live a life in darkness together with her big brother... This song parallels Goethia's demon crest in Grimgald.

I still find it strange that this story mixes up both germanic, hebrew and french elements.
Goethe (Goethia), Erlkönig (elfking/demon king/alderking) and Faust are from German origins.
Belphegor/belfegol is from hebrewic origins and Melusine from French origin... But oh well... they are just names for characters. I appreciate the music, story and the lyrics still very much!

So for the spoken part, it's mostly my and Supercool's thoughts and deductions of what the spoken section would be. A part of it is stated in the booklet, however, we also had to figure out another part.
I attempted to write the kanji to have a continuous part in kanji instead of having to write out one part and omit another. These 4 sentences were the sentences that were not stated in the booklet:

黒い悪魔よ、そこにいるのでしょう？
私をお兄様のもとへ連れていって

えへへ 見えるわ・・・
闇の支配者は　生きる者全てを恐怖する姿


Translation:

覚醒せし　混沌の影
悪魔たちは　畏れを抱く　
命を刈る　漆黒の鎌
冷たい瞳で　振り翳した ...

kakusei seshi konton no kage
shimobetachi wa osore wo idaku
inochi wo karu shikkoku no kama
tsumetai me de furikazashita... ahhhh

The awakened shadow of chaos,
Demons who embrace fear,
A jet black scythe that reaps lives,
were reflected in cold eyes...

死の刃が　青く輝き
放たれてく　破壊の呪文
地に広がる　闇の波動に
この世界が　浸蝕される　

shi no yaiba ga aoku kagayaki
hanatareteku hakai no jumon
chi ni hirogaru yami no hadou ni
kono sekai ga shinshokusareru

The blade of death glittered with a blue aura
setting free the spell of destruction and
spreading a wave of darkness over the ground
this world is being eroded

嗚呼...　嘆きの声が　聞こえてくる　
Erlkönig... 貴方の為に　両手を罪で染めて...

aa... nageki no koe ga kikoete kuru
Erlkönig... anata no tame ni ryoute wo tsumi de somete

aah... lamenting voices can be heard
Erlkönig... if it's for your sake, I will dye my both hands in sin...

闇の彼方で　彷徨い続ける
光を忘れた　永遠に孤独な支配者
たとえ　どれほど距離が遠くても
必ず　歪んだ愛で辿り着ける

yami no kanata de samayoi tsudzukeru
hikari wo wasureta towa ni kodoku na shihaisha
tatoe dorehodo kyori ga tooku temo
kanarazu yuganda ai de tadoritsukeru

Beyond darkness, continuing to wander
The eternally lonely ruler had forgotten light
No matter how big the distance between us will be
certainly, this distorted love will finally reach you

呪われし運命...
norowareshi sadame...
cursed fate... 

(哀れな人々の魂・・・これで契約が果たされる。
黒い悪魔よ、そこにいるのでしょう？
私をお兄様のもとへ連れていって
えへへ 見えるわ・・・闇の支配者は　生きる者全てを恐怖する姿
最後に捧げましょう、私のすべてを・・・
あぁ、お兄様、私だけの魔王様 ―)

狂奏シルヴプレ(Kyousou s'il vous plaît) - Mad Melody s'il vous plaît - Romaji and Translation

And now we are invited to a ball... a mad ball that can only accessed around midnight...
I honestly have no idea if this is a "general" song to fill out the gothic theme or it is Melusine inviting you to the ball. I think the latter, although Melusine does not seem to be the type of person that easily talks with someone in a friendly manner, the formulation of the sentences are very Melusinesque. As seen in her dialogues with Colette, Melusine has a real mysterious way of talking, she uses a lot of かしら and ... and うふふ in her speech. In the song the ... and the かしら come back a lot. Melusine also is a French name, referring to the mythical figure Melusine. I therefore think Melusine also can speak french (next to Japanese... lol...).

I think it is implied that the red and blue of a jewel box refer to two very common red and blue gemstones being Rubies and Sapphires. When I have to imagine gemstones in certain colours Rubies come up first for red, sapphires for blue... amethyst for purple, emerald for green... etc...

This is my least favourite song of the CD, due to it being more jazzy, while I prefer the usual "heavier metal" style of LostFairy. Even though I liked this song least, I still really enjoyed it, one of the better passages is the chorus. I have to admit that I had great trouble figuring out the title of this song by the way, I initially thought the romaji part in title was "silver plate" lol.... but after some listening, thinking and looking in the booklet. I realised it should have been "s'il vous plaît. I decided to also translate the french in the song.

Diabolic Eye - Romaji and Translation

The tragedy of the two siblings continues... the brother has prayed to the demon god and now the little sister will too... Oh oh oh....  The forbidden ritual... it will turn Melusine to the dark side... Yet she does it out of love for her brother... to stay by his side... 

What is being engraved in your body...? It's the punishment of having to harbour the very spirit of the demon king. The punishment to live in darkness... do want to give all you have up to let yourself fall in darkness to save your sibling...? Do you want to give everything up to let yourself fall in darkness because of your LOVE for your sibling...? 

I would have to think about those questions... for a long time...

If I had to judge this song purely melody wise... I'd say: another amazing composition by our lovely -LostFairy- team. I especially like the bass... The part with あるならば禁じられた儀式 also gives me the chills... I love how Yuki performs that part.

ニゲルの肖像 (Nigel no Shouzou) - Nigel's portrait - Romaji and Translation

The first song is opened with this quote in the booklet:"This distorted affection... brings a deep darkness inside my heart... It gnaws my body..."

So, although we have seen Melusine in my previous work (Grimgald), Melusine actually had her own CD. In this song Melusine is introduced. She was sickly and to save her her brother made a pact with the demon king... Mephistopheles.

I think the actual name of Melusine's brother is Nigel, since the title of this song is Nigel's portrait.
I used to not like this song, but oh man it has grown on me. Really, I love how Yuki climbs in pitch around  永遠に消えない鎖で... it's so amazing.

The piece is based on the song "Erlkönig" by F. Schubert, as denoted by Noël in the booklet.
There is a nice animation made by Oxford Lieder on youtube. Give the original a try :) here
Yet I prefer the lostfairy version ;).

深い霧　その奥に　古びた屋敷あり
儚げな少女は独り　人形を抱き　佇む...

fukai kiri sono oku ni furubita yashiki ari
hakanagena shoujo ga hitori ningyou wo idaki tatazumu...

Inside the dense fog, there is an old-looking mansion 
A fragile girl stands there, alone, embracing a doll...

幾つ　夜を重ねたのだろう？
冷たく悲しげな　風の音が聴こえてくる

ikutsu yoru wo kasaneta no darou?
tsumetaku kanashigena kaze no oto ga kikoete kuru

How many nights have passed?
She hears the sound of a cold and seemingly sad wind

やがて　闇が広がる...

Soon, the darkness spreads...

突然　とても幸せな日々に　悲劇が訪れた

Suddenly, the halcyon days were visited by tragedy
As the will of - Mephistopheles (A black demon) - separated the two...

My dear big brother... Someday I will see you, when the time of reunion arrives
I will wear a beautiful dress, so you will compliment me for being cute.

Doesn't this wish reach you? This paιν piερceς my chest...
but you know... I realised... our happiness will surely not return.

闇に魅入られた魂にも　救いはあるのだろうか？

yami ni miirareta tamashii ni mo sukui wa aru no darou ka?

Even though your soul has been possessed by darkness... Is there is a way to save you?

メフィストフェレス
- 黒い悪魔 -よ　この願いを
 永遠に消えない鎖で　縛り付けて....

-kuroi akuma- yo kono omoi wo
eien ni kienai kusari de shibari tsukete..

Oh - Mephistopheles (black demon) - please confine this wish
with eternal invanishable chains...

暗い部屋でこのまま…　貴方を待ち続け　嗚呼…

kurai heya de kono mama... anata wo machitsudzuke aa..

Like this I will wait for you... in this dark room.... aah...


Spoken:

歪んだ愛情は・・・　心に深い闇を生み・・・　私を蝕んでゆく――
yuganda aijou wa kokoro ni fukai yami wo umi... watashi wo mushibandeiku

"This distorted affection... brings a deep darkness inside my heart...
It gnaws my body..."

Translation note:
- の思うがままに
I decided to choose "the will of", trying to convey the meaning of "to one's heart's content"

- Usage of greek letters to emphasise the use of katakana: This pain pierces my chest...
Doesn't this wish reach you? This paιν piερceς my chest...

必ず　歪んだ愛で辿り着ける

呪われし運命...

メフィストフェレス
- 黒い悪魔-　の声が　聞こえてくる
Erlkönig... 貴方の為に　最後の祈り捧げ..

闇の彼方で　彷徨い続ける
光を忘れた　永遠に孤独な支配者
たとえ　滅びの時を迎えても
私が　変わらぬ愛で包んであげる

待ってて...　今すぐ行くから...　

呪われし亡国のメフィストフェレス (Norowareshi boukoku no Mephistopheles) CD Translation

"A visitor at this place... poor you... are you lost? But oh well, would you like to listen to my story for a little bit? Me? I wait here for my big brother, he is so kind... He has always cared for me, who has a frail body. Inside this large mansion... our lives used to be so idyllic... But one day... My brother sold his soul to a black demon... to save me, who was sickly. And then, he was taken away to function as a vessel for the ressurrected demon king and turned into the physique that the demon wished for. That is why I also forged a pact with a demon. My wish was to stay next to my big brother... for that sake, I would do anything. You already understand, no? The one who has summoned you... it was me.. I lied about you being lost... uhuhuhuhu... A demon desires a human's soul... " - Melusine talking to the listener in 断章 -Mephistopheles- (Danshou -Mephistopheles-).

Hurray, I have started on the translation of the 呪われし亡国のメフィストフェレス (Norowareshi boukoku no Mephistopheles) CD, which tells the backstory of Melusine.

If you have not heard the crossfade: here is the XFD ->


The title will be translated as "Mephistopheles of the cursed ruined country". Mephistopheles is the name of black demon that possesses the brother of Melusine. The epithet for this CD is ARS-020 and 7th fantasia. From now on I will refer to this cd (呪われし亡国のメフィストフェレス) as "Boukoku".

The story, as introduced in the first paragraph is basically the background story of Melusine, a sickly girl, who lives in a mansion with her big brother. One day her big brother forges a pact with a black demon, who happens to be the demon king. He did this in order to save his little sister, Melusine, from her disease. So, he was kidnapped by the demon and Melusine literally would do anything to be with her big brother. She feels a twisted sense of love for him... and she would even go as far as to forge a pact with a demon to be with her big brother... Basically every song tells that story... except the 4th track, which is about Melusine inviting you to a ball.

The order in which I liked the songs is 3=2>5>4.
The parts I like most in the songs are when Yuki and eupe climb up in pitch to the high F.... it's breathtakingly beautiful. In the second track, the part of  永遠に消えない鎖.. is just too beautiful to capture in words.. In the third track the part of ...「願い」があるならば禁じられた儀式... is so amazing, the way Yuki jumps from the A to the F just makes me feel so amazed... The fourth track also has some really good passages, 廻る　廻る　月の下で　ゆらゆらと sounds really amazing... just wow... be prepared for awesomeness from eupe. Like Yuki, she also pulls off that jump from the A to the F so well... From track 5, I actually like the instrumentals more than the melody. The voiced part is also a major strong point in this track. Uesaka Sumire has really good intonation... perfect to suit those darker background instrumentals.

You know, it's actually almost unbelievable, but I actually had a hard time assigning my preference in this CD. Even though I like 4 the least, it is still almost on par with 2 and 3. The songs are all exceptionally well performed, while at first I preferred the Operetta CD over this one, I now think this is my second favourite LostFairy CD!
