El'na dia - Romaji and Translation

The only actual song in the album! I think it has a lot in common with Hikari to Yami no Fragment. Good song. I love the interwining voice lines at the chorus. I have translated in such a way that the parts that are sung together fit into the part that has been sung solo!

悠久を紡いだ精霊たちが住まう
不思議な力に祝福された 閉ざされし世界

yuukyuu wo tsumuida seireitachi ga sumau
fushigi na chikara ni shukufuku sareta tozasareshi sekai

                            in which spirits live who have spun through eternity
A closed world
        
                    which has been blessed by mysterious powers

穢れなき者は 神に祈りを捧げ
囚われし者は 狂気を秘めて…

kegarenaki mono wa kami ni inori wo sasage
torawareshi mono wa kyouki wo himete...

The pure ones dedicate their prayers to god
The prisoners hide their lunacy...


光が躍る天空に 闇の魔紋を描けば
まだ知らぬ「異界への扉」が開く

hikari ga odoru sora ni yami no mamon wo egakeba
mada shiranu "ikai e no tobira" ga hiraku

If you draw a dark magic crest in the sky where light dances
a "door to" a yet unknown "underworld" will open


神秘の中で囁く…
    小さな幻想の欠片は 架せられし少女を導き
    風に乗せた旋律が 静かに共鳴し刻まれてく
精霊は歌い 再会を願う…
    深淵に手を伸ばせば 二つの境界が交わり
    たとえ虚ろな世界でも 新しい夢を紡ぎだせる


shinpi no naka de sasayaku...
    chiisana gensou no kakera wa kaserareshi shoujo wo michibiki
    kaze ni noseta senritsu ga shizuka ni kyoumeishi kizamareteku
seirei wa utai saikai wo negau
    shinen ni te wo nobaseba futatsu no kyoukai ga majiwari
    tatoe utsuro na sekai demo atarashii yume wo tsumugidaseru

Whispering in mysteriousness...
    Small shards of illusion arrange themselves and lead the girl
    a melody carried by the wind quietly resonates and is engraved...
the spirits sing and wish for a reunion...
    If you reach your hands towards the abyss, two boundaries cross
    even in an empty world like that, new dreams can be weaved


あの地平線の向こうには 何が見えるのだろう?
永遠に彷徨い 物語を奏で続ける 至純のエル・ナ・ディア

ano chiheisen no mukou ni wa nani ga mieru no darou?
towa ni samayoi monogatari wo kanadetsudzukeru shijun no el'na dia

What would you see beyond the horizon?
        
                                                                                El'Na Dia of absolute purity
Wandering forever and continuing to sing the tale of


hatenaki sekai e hito to mahou wo tsunagu
seirei no chikara
sore wa hikari ni yami ni mo kyoumei suru    
El'Na dia no gensou

Connecting people and magic to an endless world
the power of the spirits
that is where light and darkness resonate
the fantasy of El'Na Dia


光が躍る天空に 闇の魔紋を描けば
まだ知らぬ「異界への扉」が開く

hikari ga odoru sora ni yami no mamon wo egakeba
mada shiranu "ikai e no tobira" ga hiraku

If you draw a dark magic crest in the sky where light dances
a "door to" a yet unknown "underworld" will open

神秘の先へ誘う…
    小さな幻想の欠片は 架せられし少女を導き
    風に乗せた旋律が 静かに共鳴し刻まれてく
精霊は歌い 再会を願う…
    誰もが知る戯曲は 終わりなき旅の舞台で
    やがて滅ぶ運命でも 最後は奇跡に辿り着ける

shinpi no saki he izanau...
    chiisana gensou no kakera wa kaserareshi shoujo wo michibiki
    kaze ni noseta senritsu ga shizuka ni kyoumeishi kizamareteku
seirei wa utai saikai wo negau
    daremo ga shiru gikyoku wa owarinaki tabi no butai de
    yagate horobu sadame demo saigo wa kiseki ni tadoritsukeru
    

Inviting beyond mysteriousness...
    Small shards of illusion arrange themselves and lead the girl
    a melody carried by the wind quietly resonates and is engraved...
the spirits sing and wish for a reunion...
    A play that everyone knows is the stage of an endless journey    
    Even though everyone's fate is to perish, in the end the miracle will be reached


あの地平線の向こうには 何が見えるのだろう?
永遠に彷徨い 物語を奏で続ける 至純のエル・ナ・ディア
幻想の彼方へ…

エル・ナ・ディア幻想譚 ~闇の邂逅 (El'Na Dia Gensoutan ~ Yami no Kaikou) - El'Na Dia Fantasia ~ Encounter in the Dark - CD Presentation Page

The door to fantasy, has been opened.

*Melusine's theme plays*

Feeling a nostalgic power, this surely is that person's... ah... there is no doubt. Brought by the one who rules the abyss, a wave of darkness. Cladded in a darkness-coloured dress, drawing magic crests...

To this place, decorated with blue roses made with that forbidden magic, I have been summoned.
People and spirits, an encounter in the darkness. A place so dark, an abyss light doesn't reach,  but that is a place where the spirits of darkness feel at home.

If you listen closely, you can hear the silent darkness play a beautiful melody...

The door of fantasies has been opened...

(from track 1: 闇を伝う旋律 (Yami wo Tsutau Senritsu) - A melody that tells darkness)

Yes, a very nostalgic power. The power of translation. Welcome back. It has been a long long long while since I last posted. This has its reason. I went to Japan for a month. I have been at M3-51, I have actually met Noël and Sayu from -LostFairy- I think haha. I have also shaken hands with Lyse from Ariabl' eyes and Rena I think? Hatsuki Yura was nowhere to be found. I have met Wasabeep, Shirosaki Aya, Tatsh, Tsukagoshi, Katakiri Rekka, Tsukino, Aitsuki Nakuru, Sennzai, Natsume from Mistoria, Komatsu Rina and Paspal from Symholic and many more people I have been fan of. For their privacy I have not taken pictures sadly. 

Back on topic of -LostFairy-, our dear Maousama actually was there in his maou-sama clothes and it looked great. The -LostFairy- stand was very cute, I bought more LostFairy and ArsMagna CDs and the El Na' Dia CD with the poster (It... kind of survived to the Netherlands..?) and when I looked at my CD collection I was like oh yeah, translation lol, so many things to do. 



The title of this CD is El Na Dia Fantasia ~ Encounter of darkness. A CD in which Sariah Noir (Noël related Vtuber.. my theory is that it actually is Noël with a voice changer hahahahah) and Melusine meet...This CD has 1 story track (see above) and 1 vocal track, which is called El'Na Dia. The CD also contained a holographic card of saria-chan. For the sake of I also included my Melusine haha.

If you have not heard the XFD yet... check it out here!


This CD is 10/10 even though it only has 2 tracks lol. I like the intertwining voice lines in El'Na Dia! Please look forward to the translation.. soon tm!

Re Storia -花の戯れ- (Re Storia -Hana no Tawamure-) - Re Storia -Jest of the Flowers- - Romaji and Translation

So this is a "twisted answer song" version of Colette's album (不思議な少女のオペレッタ, Fushigi na shoujo no Operetta), in that album it is named 戯れの花畑 (Tawamure no Hanabatake). This time it is sung by Sayu.  

This song is really devious, I like Colette's wit. "Don't worry, I am cute, so I can win at everything" hahaha her "demo, demo" catchphrase hehehe. And here she isn't wearnig her cute little red riding hood, instead she is wearing a blue one.

The parallels I could draw to the previous songs are: Colette finds a wolf and outsmarts it and shoots it. This time she is walking through the same field, instead of one wolf there are two! She outsmarts them both and kills them both, but... then she wonders why there are two because she killed a wolf last time and it should be dead. But it is a crazy lunacy hidden inside the story which has gone crazy (Kyouki gensou Grimgard 1.5!). She uses her catchphrase demo,demo more though. This time she is embarking on that trip she said she'd be embarking on back in Grimgard, so that makes this a direct sequel :D!

Translation:


長い長い旅の途中 不思議な花畑で
甘い甘い香りに包み込まれ 森の中を進む

nagai nagai tabi no tochuu fushigi na hanabatake de
amai amai kaori ni tsutumikomare mori no naka wo susumu

On a long, long journey through a mysterious field of flowers
I am enveloped by a sweet, sweet frgance, as I continue my journey through the forest


お気に入りの「青い頭巾」とっても可愛いでしょ?
目を光らせ追いかけたくなるのは 仕方ないこと
ほらね 今日も軽やかな足跡が近付いてる
残念 私にはバレバレなのよ 小さい影… 二つ!

okiniiri no "aoi zukin" tottemo kawaii desho?
me wo hikarase oikaketakunaru no wa shikatanai koto
hora ne kyou mo karoyakana ashiato ga chikadzuiteru
zannen watashi ni wa barebare nano yo chisaii kage... futatsu!

My favourite "Blue riding hood" isn't it absolutely the cutest?
It can't be helped that I want to keep a watchful eye, as I feel as I am being chased
Look, today too, light footsteps are approaching me
But too bad, it's obvious to me!! A small shadow... no two!!


同じ小道を ぐるぐる回っている…
迷子になんかなるわけないでしょ!?でも、でも…

onaji komichi wo guru guru mawatteiru...
maigo ni nanka naru wake nai desho!? demo, demo...

We are going around in circles on the same little path...
There is no way I'm lost right?!? but, but...


不思議ね 可愛い「オオカミ」二人 何故か追いかけて来る
ずっと前に 退治したはずよ? あれは誰なのかしら?
わからない…! きっと 物語の中に眠る 歪んだ「狂気」
最近 退屈してたから 少し遊びましょう… 私と

fushigi ne kawaii "ookami" futari nazeka oikaketekuru
zutto mae ni taijishita hazu yo? are wa dare nano kashira?
wakaranai...! kitto monogatari no naka ni nemuru yuganda "kyouki"
saikin taikutsu shita kara sukoshi asobimashou... watashi to

It's truly curious, why are these two cute "wolves" chasing me?
Didn't I kill them long ago? I wonder who they are...?
I don't know...! It must be the twisted "lunacy" hidden away inside the story
Lately I've been bored anyway, so... shall we play a little... together


ran ran ran ran ran ran...
YOSHI!

Lalalala
There we go!

 
優しく誘う声が聞こえてくる…
そんな言葉に騙されないわよ!?でも、でも…

yasashiku izanau koe ga kikoete kuru...
sonna kotoba ni damasarenai wa yo!? demo, demo...

I hear a voice gently inviting me...
I won't be fooled by those words!? But... but...


不思議ね 可愛い「オオカミ」 二人 何故か追いかけて来る
ずっと前に 退治したはずよ? あれは誰なのかしら?
思い出した…! これは花の戯れで見せられる「幻想」
さぁ早く目覚めるの孤独な夢の終焉よ

fushigi ne kawaii "ookami" futari nazeka oikaketekuru
zutto mae ni taijishita hazu yo? are wa dare nano kashira?
omoidashita...! kore wa hana no tawamure de miserareru "gensou"
saa hayaku mezameru no kodokuna yume no shuuen yo

It's truly curious, why are these two cute "wolves" chasing me?
Didn't I kill them long ago? I wonder who they are...?
I remember! This is an "illusion" shown by the jesting flowers
now... let's quickly wake up, to the end of this lonely dream


LaLaLaLa...


translation note:
少し遊びましょう… 私と
Literally should say, "shall we play a little... with me"
But I translated it as if she is talking to the wolves, that is why she says together.

終焉を謳うアリエッタ (Shuuen wo Utau Arietta) - CD presentation page

So this is a "new" lostfairy CD, but most of the songs are "old" and slightly rewritten. I checked the booklet and there are only minimal differences between their originals and the new version. Thus I will only translate the one song with significant differences and point the differences out here and in the old posts. Haven't heard the crossfade? See below! On the cover you see Melusine (purple haired girl in the black dress), Colette (brown haired girl in blue x white with a headbow) and Alisha (girl with pink hair)


So the tracklist is as follows:

1. ニゲルの肖像
2. Re Storia ~花の戯れ~
3. 背徳のアンティフォナ
4. Black Lolita

1. Nigel r no shouzou, Jet Black Portrait. I uh, might not want to change the title knowing internet culture of nowadays... But I now know that it meant Jet Black. Comes from Melusine's Boukyaku CD.  Differences are minimal, no more katakana to curse the text. Amended the post.

2. Re Storia -Hana no Tawamure- is a remix of Colette's Operetta CD's Tawamure no Hanabatake, these lyrics are very different and thus will have another post!

3. Haitoku no Antiphona the third, in all senses, third song of the album, third appearance in all the -LostFairy- discography. As far as I know, all versions same lyrics (Transylvania, Nostalgia Prelude and this CD), even the has the same singers as the 2nd version, so I will not amend any post.

4. Black Lolita from Alisha's CD. Has a small difference in the nigel no kyouen, but afaik that's the
only difference. I'll have a look later. But this is a very minor change and won't get a new post I think.

The order in which I like the songs is 1=2=3=4, haha what an unexpected order eh, I like all songs a lot and they are all lovely in their own way. I love almost all -LostFairy- songs, I am a "doorgewinterde veteraan" as they call it in Dutch haha, I have listened to -LostFairy- that much, I think I rolled into this hole like 5+ years ago? Has been so long that I came to appreciate all songs. I almost never skip a song when it's on random play!

Ah before you stop reading: There are some new conversations between the girls on the cover on each booklet page, nothing very major, but find the translation below!.

Nigelr no shouzou page:
Contains a picture of Melusine saying:
歪んだ愛情は・・・ 心に深い闇を生み・・・ 私を蝕んでゆく――
"This distorted affection... brings a deep darkness inside my heart...
It gnaws my body..."

Hana no Tawamure page:
Contains a picture of Colette saying:
???

Antiphone page:
Contains a picture of Carmilla saying:
ひとつの終焉と ひとつの運命; the demise of one and the fate of the other

Black Lolita page:
とある場所で開かれた、特別な装いでのお茶会
黒いフリルを身に纏った少女たちにとっての「黒」とは?

A tea party with a special attire is held at a certain place,
What does "black" mean to the girls wearing black frills?

Melusine: Darkness
Priscilla: Death
Alisha: The opposite of white!

A song to celebrate the arrival of spring :3

A place where the church bell rings, and people come and go
an easygoing troubadour starts to weave the pieces of his journey

As we walk through the increasingly cheerful town and listen carefully
we can hear the singing voices of the happily dancing little girls

The goddess of fate has granted this innocent wish
and dyed the town in the colours of the spring with dancing flower petals

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).

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

朽ちた聖堂に響く 魂の慟哭

黒薔薇の葬送

死と交わる 孤独な儀式に狂い咲く 漆黒の薔薇

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

闇の中 ほら...死者の声
嘆きと叫びが響く

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


闇の中 ほら...死者の影
揺らめく炎のように

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

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

死と交わる 孤独な儀式に狂い咲く 漆黒の薔薇

迫る 死者の群れ
舞い散る「灰」と踊る

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

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

死と交わる 孤独な儀式に狂い咲く 漆黒の薔薇

冥刻ミゼリア

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

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

幾千の星を数えて
眠れない夜に 夢を歌う


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

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

銀色の月を眺めて
眠れない夜に 夢を歌う

悠久の時を重ねて
色褪せぬ 永遠の夢を願う

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

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

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...

Necrofesta ~死の舞踏~

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...

私欲の代償
愚かな「生」者に 冷たい「死」の導きを

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

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

無慈悲な 女神の抱擁
愚かな「生」者に 冷たい「死」の導きを

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

永遠の眠りを さぁ...
静かに灰となり 土に還るの...

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.

夢幻アリステイル (Mugen Alicetale) - Eternal Alicetale - Romaji and Translation

This song has been labelled with a bunny! Pyon! This is a reference to the rabbit of Alice in Wonderland, who has led Alice (in our case Alicia, heh) to Wonderland and make her experience a new adventure... I mean... in our case to find Madrigale (Fragments of Dreams). 

This song has been remastered from the first album. There it was called 悠久のFairytale. The title is incredibly similar, both titles have a fairytale and eternal in it. I have preserved many fragments (Madri.... something) from the previous translation!

This song appears again on the Merveilles album, this time sung by Sayu. TThe transcription actually is different 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).

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?」

itsumo to kawaranu taikutsu na jikan ga sugiteku
kagami wo mitsume hitori tsubuyaku... 「doko he yukeru no kana?」

An ever unchanging boring time passes as usual
I look at the mirror and whisper to myself
"Where can I go?"


不思議な光が キラキラと私を導く
                                                           みしらぬおとぎばなし
鏡の向こう側に飛び込む – 夢幻アリステイル –

fushigi na hikari ga kirakira to watashi wo michibiku
kagami no mukougawa ni tobikomu - mishiranu otogibanashi -

A sparkly mysterious light guides me
and I jump to the other side of the mirror - Eternal Alicetale (an unknown FairyTale)-


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

mune wo sasu 「kurushimi」 ya 「kanashimi」 wa yami no naka ni sutete shimaeba ii
maboroshi no you na atarashii sekai de sagasu yo yume no tsudzuki wo

I should just throw away all the suffering and sadness of reality that pierce my chest into the darkness
and search for a new illusionary world and to continue my dreams


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
奇跡の果て 確かめるまで 歌い続ける...

hirogaru 「kuuhaku no chizu」 egaki nagara
tori no you ni sora wo habataku... doko he demo yukeru kara
tatoe asu he no michi ni mayotte mo
kiseki no hate tashikameru made utaitsudzukeru

If I would draw an "empty map"
I could take of to the sky like a bird... because I can go everywhere!
And if I were to get lost on the way to tomorrow
I will keep on singing until I have confirmed that I am on the end of my path



                                    ゆめのかけら
散りばめられた「古のマドリガーレ」が 私を彩る
                                                           みしらぬおとぎばなし
誰にも邪魔されることない – 夢幻アリステイル –

chiribamerareta 「yume no kakera」 ga watashi wo irodoru
darenimo jama sareru kotonai -mugen no otogibanashi-

The trails of the scattered "ancient Madrigale (Fragments of dreams)" colour me
I won't let anyone interfere -an eternal Alicetale (Infinite FairyTale) -


「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

「tsuioku」 mo 「kokoro no kusari」 mo hikari no naka de tokihanateru kara
maboroshi no you na atarashii sekai ni kizamu yo yume no subete wo

All "my reminiscences" and the "chains of my heart", I will release them amidst the light    
I'm carving everything of my dream in a new illusionary world


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

hirogaru 「kuuhaku no chizu」 egaki nagara
yami wo harai hikari ga sasu... watashi dake no rakuen
soshite yuukyuu no toki ga nagaretemo
shijun no uta de 「monogatari」 wo tsumugi tsudzukeru

If I would draw an "empty map",
I purge the darkness, the light will shine through... a paradise for me alone
Even if an eternity passes by
with the "song of purity", I will continue to weave the "story"

光と闇のフラグメント (Hikari to Yami no Fragment) - Fragment of Light and Darkness - Romaji and Translation

This is the only new song in the Fragment album. I like it a lot, especially the parts where the voices of Yuki and Sayu intertwine. I imagine the two girls on the cover to be the dolls that are drawn on the cover of the cd.

閉ざされた世界の中にある 物語で
互いの奇跡が 共鳴する... 光と闇の欠片

tozasareta sekai no naka ni aru monogatari de
tagai no kiseki ga kyomei suru... hikari to yami no kakera

In a closed off world, there is a certain story in which
miracles of each other resonate... A fragment of Light and Darkness


誰もいない部屋で 空白の彼方を
祈る様に ただ見つめてる
穢れのない天空に 細い手を翳して
薄れゆく 記憶を辿る

daremo inai heya de kuuhaku no kanata wo
inoru you ni tada mitsumeteru
kegare no nai sora ni hosoi te wo kazashite
usureyuku kioku wo tadoru

In an empty room, by just staring at the blank boundary
as if you were praying
stretch out your thin hand toward the immaculate sky
And follow a fading memory


物伝わぬ人形は 繋がれた糸に
白と黒は 踊り 指を絡め 身を委ねたまま

mono iwanu ningyou wa tsunagareta ito ni
shiro to kuro wa odori yubi wo karame mi wo yudaneta mama

Still dolls are connected to a thread and as if they are devoting themselves
they entwine their fingers, dancing a dance of Black and White


Ah... 煌めく二つの物語を 紡ぎ合い
「光」を放つ 欠片の中へ 導く
鳴り響く 迷いのない 不思議な旋律で
終わらない夢を 見せてあげる... 光と闇の世界

Ah... kirameku futatsu no monogatari wo tsumugiai
「hikari」 wo hanatsu kakera no naka he michibiku
narihibiku mayoi no nai fushigi na senritsu de
owaranai yume wo misete ageru... hikari to yami no sekai

Ah... Weaving together two sparkling stories
You are guided to the place amidst the released fragments of "Light"
by an echoing unwavering mysterious melody
I shall show you an endless dream... The world of Light and Darkness


青き薔薇は 今日も咲き誇るのだろうか?
世界を作りし「主」よ
永遠に近い刻を 生き続ける意味が
貴方なら 分かるのだろうか?

aoki bara wa kyou mo saki sakihokoru no darou ka?
sekai wo tsukurishi 「aruji」 yo
towa ni chikai toki wo ikitsudzukeru imi ga
anata nara wakaru no darou ka?

Will the blue roses bloom today again?
"Master", who has created this world
The meaning of living close to eternity,
would you know what that means?


物伝わぬ人形は 繋がれた糸に
白と黒は 踊り 指を絡め 想いを重ねる

mono iwanu ningyou wa tsunagareta ito ni
shiro to kuro wa odori yubi wo karame - omoi wo kasaneru

Still dolls are connected to a thread
they entwine their fingers, dancing a dance of Black and White - accumulating memories


Ah... 煌めく二つの物語を 紡ぎ合い
「闇」を纏いし 欠片の中へ 導く
鳴り響く 迷いのない 不思議な旋律で
終わらない夢を 見せてあげる... 光と闇の世界

Ah... kirameku futatsu no monogatari wo tsumugi ai
「yami」 wo matoishi kakera no naka he michibiku
narihibiku mayoi no nai fushigi na senritsu de
owaranai yume wo misete ageru... hikari to yami no sekai

Ah... Weaving together two sparkling stories
You are guided to the place amidst the fragments wrapped in "Darkness"
by an echoing unwavering mysterious melody
I shall show you an endless dream... The world of Light and Darkness


瞳を閉じて... 二人の物語が 混ざり合い
繰り返される「幻想」の中で 一つに
新しく巡り合えた 不思議な運命で
終わらない夢を 見せてあげる... 光と闇の奇跡

me wo tojite... futari no monogatari ga mazari ai
kurikae sareru 「gensou」 no naka de hitotsu ni
atarashiku meguriaeta fushigi na unmei de
owaranai yume wo misete ageru... hikari to yami no kiseki

Close your eyes... Two stories mingle together
Inside the repeated "fantasies"
you meet one, new mysterious fate
I shall show you an endless dream... The miracle of Light and Darkness

Yggdrasill - Romaji and Translation

Wait what? 13 posts on the 24th already? Is Lucky not lazy this time? Well... They probably reverse my permission to use legacy blogger today, so I just try to output as many posts as possible with legacy blogger.

This song is about the worldtree "Yggdrasill" to which the girl (Stella or a previous reincarnation of her) devotes prayers. It's an ethnic style song with an air of grace to it. The song is a kind of window composition. Inside the song, a story is told about how long the Yggdrasill has lived and that she devotes prayers to it. There is not much else to say about the song as it is pretty straightforward to me. 

This song is also featured in the 10th CD, but instead of being sung by Hato, it's sung by Sayu. I think both versions are likable. Ethnic is not entirely my thing but oh well, the composition is not bad at all. I really like the harmonies at "の欠片" in both versions.

古より伝えられ 精霊たちに紡がれる
慈しみの楽園を 彩りながら揺蕩う光

inishie yori tsutaerare seireitachi ni tsumugareru
itsukushimi no rakuen wo irodori nagara tayutau hikari

A tale spun by spirits that has been passed down from ancient times
about the fluttering light as it colours the paradise of affection

神秘の森の大樹に その息吹は宿るという
幾多の巡り合わせで 久遠の時を迎えた

shinpi no mori no daiju ni sono ibuki wa yadoru to iu
ikuta no meguri awase de kuon no toki wo mukaeta

It is said that a large tree carries the breath of the mysterious forest
has seen everything of the world and its lifespan approached the time of eternity


遥か遠い場所までも この歌声は響く
小さな愛の欠片 胸に秘めて

haruka tooi basho made mo kono utagoe wa hibiku
chiisana ai no kakera mune ni himete

My singing voice will reach places even if they are far, far away,
and I cherish a tiny fragment of love in my heart.


「高く、天空へ」穏やかな風が囁く
永久に続く 世界樹が織りなす幻想に 祈り捧げ・・・

「takaku, sora he」 odayaka na kaze ga sasayaku
towa ni tsudzuku sekaiju ga orinasu gensou ni inori sasage...

A gentle breeze whispers: "High, towards the sky" 
and I devote my prayers to the fantasies that the Yggdrasill endlessly interweaves


静かな刻の大地に その息吹は宿るという
澄んだ水の流れ 交わりながら奏でる 

shizukana toki no daichi ni sono ibuki wa yadoru to iu
sunda mizu no nagare majiwari nagara kanaderu

It is said that the earth carries the breath of the silent moments
As it mingles streams clear water it plays



- 聖なる領域の調べ -

- seinaru ryouiki no shirabe -

- The melody of the Holy Domain -

遥か遠い場所までも この歌声は響く
小さな愛の欠片 胸に秘めて

haruka tooi basho made mo ko no utagoe wa hibiku
chiisana ai no kakera mune ni himete

My singing voice will reach places even if they are far, far away,
and I cherish a tiny fragment of love in my heart.


「高く、天空へ」穏やかな風が囁く
踊るように美しき花びら舞い上がる

「takaku, sora he」 odayaka na kaze ga michibiku
odoru you ni utsukushiki hanabira maiagaru

A gentle breeze whispers: "High, towards the sky" 
Beautiful flower petals soar in the sky as if they are dancing


光を求めて 穢れなき鳥が羽ばたく
永久に続く 世界樹が織りなす幻想に 祈り捧げ・・・

hikari wo motomete kegarenaki tori ga habataku
towa ni tsudzuku sekaiju ga orinasu gensou ni inori sasage...

Pure birds take off to the sky, searching for the light
and I devote my prayers to the fantasies that the Yggdrasill endlessly interweaves...


Translation notes:

- 幾多の巡り合わせ -> literally translates to something like numerous chances, but it makes no sense
- 世界樹 -> World Tree, in norse mythology it's named "Yggdrasill" (see title of the song). It is a huuuuge tree that connects worlds.
- 永久に続く 世界樹が織りなす幻想に 祈り捧げ・・・, According to the lyrics, the girl devotes her prayers to the "fantasies", but I actually expect she devotes them to the Yggdrasill

-  Interpretation of these 2 stanza:
神秘の森の大樹に その息吹は宿るという, I interpret this as something similar to 神秘の森の息吹 大樹に宿るという
静かな刻の大地に その息吹は宿るという, goes the same for,  静かな刻の息吹は 大地に宿るという,

Kanji and Romaji (Fragment)

Can we even call this a compilation if there is only 1 song... I don't think so.
Hence I will just post the Romaji and Kanji together for this cd... Thanks to SuperCoolGuy for the Romaji :)

光と闇のフラグメント (Hikari to Yami no Fragment)

閉ざされた世界の中にある 物語で
互いの奇跡が 共鳴する... 光と闇の欠片

Ah... 煌めく二つの物語を 紡ぎ合い
「光」を放つ 欠片の中へ 導く
鳴り響く 迷いのない 不思議な旋律で
終わらない夢を 見せてあげる... 光と闇の世界

Ah... kirameku futatsu no monogatari wo tsumugi ai

青き薔薇は 今日も咲き咲き誇るのだろうか?
世界を作りし「主」よ
永遠に近い刻を 生き続ける意味が
貴方なら 分かるのだろうか?

aoki bara wa kyou mo saki sakihokoru no darou ka?

瞳を閉じて... 二人の物語が 混ざり合い
繰り返される「幻想」の中で 一つに
新しく巡り合えた 不思議な運命で
終わらない夢を 見せてあげる... 光と闇の奇跡

光と闇のフラグメント (Hikari to Yami no Fragment) - CD Translation

Is Lucky cheating to get 13 posts a month again with making a lot of preview pages? Uhh.... maybe?

This CD is basically a Pre-CrossFantasia haha. It has only 1 new song and has 2 remastered tracks with a different vocalist.  If you have not heard the crossfade:

The two girls on the cover seem to me as if they are reincarnations of Stella and Luna. Who knows... Because... Like CD 2 and 3, there is no introductory voice acted track. We never know if the 6 girls on the covers (Stella Luna from Ataraxia/Nostalgia, the girls from CD2 and 3 and the girls from CD 10) are the same... The order in which I liked the songs are 3=1>2, I think this version of Gades of Hades is really AMAZING, but the Fragment song is also awesome. Yggdrasill is also growing on me, but I still prefer fast songs.

Ataraxia ~至純の詩~ (Ataraxia ~Shijun no Uta~) - Ataraxia ~Song of Absolute purity~ - Romaji and Translation

"悠久の世界にささげた祈りは・・・ 魂の「平穏」を与える、至純の詩"
"Devoting prayers to the eternal world... giving the soul 'tranquility', a song of absolute purity" - Stella and Luna, praying and clasping their hands together

Wow it's already the last song of the album. Carmilla has been purified by the prayers of Luna and Stella and has returned back to human, if I interpret this correctly. She has also remembered her human name (which is not Mircalla like in the book haha), but wants people to continue to call her Carmilla as the human she was before Carmilla is actually dead already.

Ahh this song is so pure, I can hear the innocence flowing from Sayu's voice! The composition is ethnic, yet has more of a rock edge. It reminds me of one of the songs in the first album, The "troubadour" song. I have not translated that one yet, but composition wise those two surely give off a similar vibe. If you have seen the booklet, there was something I noticed: I actually love how one of the pages in the booklets shows Tir Na Nog, but then with lilies. In Japan, the lily symbolises purity, and ohoho look at the title of the song! Pure! Carmilla's clothes also change from Red/Black to White (purity in western countries is often presented by the colour white) and her eye colour changes from Red (vampire) to a more natural(?) purple.

How to interpret the translation: I translated it from the point of view of Carmilla, she is the "I" person here. I imagine that the spoken part is how Stella and Luna prayed for Carmilla during her purification and that Carmilla experiences it here in her own way. “進もう… 私たちの物語だから” is translated like a kind of open ending, so the listener can imagine what happens to Stella and Luna afterwards.

閉ざされし宵闇が過ぎて 訪れた 静かな夜明け
「悠久」の世界に祈り捧げ 二人を包み込む やわらかな光
誰も見たことのない「幻想」の先へ

tozasareshi yoiyami ga sugite otozureta shizuka na yoake
「yuukyuu」 no sekai ni inori sasage futari wo tsutsumi komu yawaraka na hikari
daremo mita koto no nai 「gensou」 no saki he

The closed off dusk has ended, and the silent dawn came
The two girls embraced the gentle light, devoting their prayers to the “Eternal world”,
beyond a “fantasy” that nobody has seen before


語り明かしていた夢は いつか叶うと信じて
記憶に眠る悲しみも 想い出に変わるだろう

katari akashiteita yume wa itsuka kanau to shinjite
kioku ni nemuru kanashimi mo omoide ni kawaru darou

The dream I had been telling all night, I believed it would someday come true
The sadness dormant in my memory, will turn into reminiscence, right?   


流した涙の数だけ 強くなれると信じて
星と月の加護を受けて 互いの手を紡いだ

nagashita namida no kazu dake tsuyoku nareru to shinjite
hoshi to tsuki no kago wo ukete tagai no te wo tsumuida

I believed that I become strong with only the number of tears I shed,
The girls who received the blessings of the stars and the moon put together their hands


無口な風に遊ばれて 聖なる鐘の音が 鳴り響く
神秘のヴェールを身に纏い 永遠に背負う運命を
忘れないように 胸に刻む...

mukuchi na kaze ni asobarete seinaru kane no oto ga narihibiku
shinpi no veeru wo mi ni matoi towa ni seou sadame wo
wasurenai you ni mune ni kizamu

The sound of the holy bells, played by the silent wind, resounds
I put on a veil of mystery, so I don’t forget the fate
I will bear forever, and carve it in my heart


穢れなき歌声と共に 平穏が この空を舞う
「悠久」の世界に祈り捧げ 二人を彩った 七色の光
遥か遠く 何処までも「幻想」は続く

kegarenaki utagoe to tomo ni heion ga kono sora wo mau
「yuukyuu」no sekai ni inori sasage futari wo irodotta nanairo no hikari
haruka tooku dokomademo 「gensou」 wa tsudzuku

Together with their pure singing voices, peace soars into the sky.
Devoting prayers to the “Eternal” world, the two girls were coloured by a seven coloured light.
Far, far away, wherever, their “fantasy” continued


(SPOKEN) Stella: kegarenaki shukufuku wo motarasu
Luna: sore ga sadame nano kamoshirenai
Stella: futari no monogatari wo asu he to tsumugu tame
Luna: hoshi ni inori wo...

(SPOKEN) Stella: to bring pure blessings
Luna: That might be fate
Stella: In order to spin our tale to tomorrow
Luna: We pray to the stars


無口な風に遊ばれて 聖なる鐘の音が 鳴り響く
神秘のヴェールを身に纏い 永遠に背負う運命を
忘れないように 胸に刻む...

muguchi na kaze ni asobarete seinaru kane no oto ga narihibiku
shinpi no veeru wo mi ni matoi towa ni seou sadame wo
wasurenai you ni mune ni kizamu...

The sound of the holy bells, played by the silent wind, resounds
I put on a veil of mystery, so I don’t forget the fate
I will bear forever, and carve it in my heart


穢れなき歌声と共に

kegarenaki utagoe to tomo ni

Together with pure singing voices

祝福されし星と月が 夢に見た 小さな奇跡
「悠久」の世界に祈り捧げ「幻想」に見を委ね 見つめ会う二人
“進もう… 私たちの物語だから”

shukufuku sareshi hoshi to tsuki ga yume ni mita chiisana kiseki
「yuukyuu」 no sekai ni inori sasage 「gensou」 ni mi wo yudane mitsumeau futari
"susumou... watashitachi no monogatari dakara"


I had a dream of a little miracle, blessed by the stars and the moon
The two girls devoted themselves to pray to the “Eternal” world, looked at each other
“Let’s move on… since it’s our tale”

Translation notes:
- Of course, the blessings of the star and moon are the blessings of Stella and Luna.
- I have no idea what the veil of mystery, neither what the fate of the future is for Carmilla, however I imagine that Carmilla is no longer immortal and she has been given a mortal life.
- I still don't know what "the eternal world" is, but I have the idea it refers to the fairy paradise "Tir Na Nog"
