Bloody brightly roses – Re:MIX - Lyrics

I have no idea what this song is trying to say... The English is literally incomprehensible! Calling the darkness are flowing now? I believe you if badness sky overcast? Calling the sadness are blowing hard? I am not even attempting to rewrite this lol. However, for completeness it gets its own post.

Calling the darkness are flowing now
Understand, feel it so, but can't deny
They are whispering in my ear so sweet
"Come in, join us to the black world quickly"

Distress is overlimit already
Want a lie, you don't say, need more nothing
They said again and again "We can get it"
Maybe can never escape from them

But someone keep me back always, why?
So, he said "Remind to me and get your will"

Remember bloody brightly roses
Should still keep blooming up in your heart
You are the knight of eternal lightness
Don't forget pureness dearest roses
I believe you if badness sky is overcast
Promise to you never ever alone

Calling the sadness are blowing hard
Understand, feel it so, but can't deny
They will be drawing me so near toward them
Come in, join us to the black world quickly

Why are you not able to decide yet?
Want a lie, you don't say, need more nothing
They said again and again "These are your wish"
Maybe I can't turn my eyes away

If the time come lost all, everything
I will be keeping to call, my love
For Someday when I meet you
Don't forget pureness dearest roses
I believe you if badness sky is overcast
Promise to you never ever alone

契り謳う黒焔のヴァルキュリア (Chigiri Utau Kokuen no Valkyria) - The Extolling Valkyrie of the Black Flames

 Heh, this song was a hell to translate. I had a lot of trouble trying to make sense of the lyrics. The Valkyria are fighting against their fate by resisting the Judgment of the heroes of Valhalla? That's about what I could make out of it. How nice to drop me a name notice too, but sadly you spell my name as オーロラ in Japanese lol. I am not gonna write translation notes at all, this was too much of a pain to make sense of.


誇れし勇者の宮殿(ヴァルハラ) 猛り狂える鬨ノ咆哮(こえ)
血濡れの剣を掲げて 絶望が嗤う道を征け

hokoreshi yuusha no varuhara takeri kurueru toki no koe
chinure no tsurugi wo kakagete zetsubou ga warau michi wo yuke

The Palace (Valhalla) of the proud heroes,
a raging maddening howl of a battle cry (voice) resounds:
"Raise your blood stained sword and conquer the path of despair!"


天駆け煌く羽衣(アウロラ) 嘶く盟友(とも)を従えて
微笑み彼の地へ誘う 黒き焔の異端者よ

habatake kirameku aurora inanaku tomo wo shitagaete
hohoemi kono chi he izanau kuroki homura no itansha yo

A robe of feathers (Aurora), shiningly galloping through the skies and accompanied by a sworn friend (comrade),
smiles and invites you to the palace, Heretic of the Black Flame


祷(いの)るその指で
幾千の魂を連れ
痛むその胸に
唯一の決意秘めて

inoru sono yubi de
ikusen no tamashii wo tsure
itamu sono mune ni
yuiitsu no ketsui himete

With my praying fingers
I bringing thousands of souls with me
and inside my aching chest
I hide my only resolve


黄昏の帳、今刻と迫る終焉
滅びを高らかに——————さあ謳え、戦乙女(ヴァルキュリア)!
「運命の女神が、泉に映る闇を視た」
それでも立ち向かえ、世界が崩れて散るその日まで

tasogare no tobari, ima toki to semaru shuuen
horobi wo takaraka ni - saa utae, Valkyria
「sadame no megami ga, izumi ni utsuru yami wo mita」
soredemo tachimukae, sekai ga kuzurete chiru sono hi made

The curtain of twilight, at this moment I'm approaching demise
Loudly praising for destruction ----- "Let's extol, Warrior maidens (Valkyria)"!
"The goddess of fate has seen the darkness reflected in the spring"
Yet, I must resist, until the day the world crumbles and falls apart


蒼き姫君と
交わした契事(やくそくこと)
紅き灼熱で
総てを切り開くと

aoki himegimi to
kawashita yakusoku koto
akaki shakunetsu de
subete wo kiri hiraku to

The pact (promise) I made
with the blue princess
With red burning passion
I cut through it all


黄昏の帳、避け得ぬ無慈悲な終焉
狼に断罪を——————さあ叫べ、戦乙女(ヴァルキュリア)!
星が墜ち大地を焼き尽くす宿命でも
最期まで抗え、この身が燃え朽ちようと

tasogare no tobari, sake enu mujihi na shuuen
ookami ni danzai wo - saa sakebe, Valkyria
hoshi ga ochi daichi wo yakitsukusu shukumei demo
saigo made aragae, kono mi ga moe kuchi you to

The curtain of twilight, the unavoidable merciless demise
Bringing judgement to the wolves ---- Let's shout, Warrior Maidens (Valkyria)!
Even if fate lets the stars fall and the earth is burnt to cinders
I should resist until the end even if this body burns and rots


嗚呼…
凍てついた鉄の森の誓い
そっと秘められたまま
黄昏が堕ちる——————

ah...
itetsuita tetsu no mori no chikai
sotto himerareta mama
tasogare ga ochiru

Aah...
The vow of the Forest of the Frozen Iron
Softly as if it is being hidden
the twilight is falling -----

Bloody brightly roses – Re:MIX

(CLOSED/UNDERGROUND 「モルモティカb」より)
作曲、編曲:橋本鏡也

"Come in, join us to the black world quickly"

Distress is overlimit already
Want a lie, you don't say, need more nothing

Calling the sadness are blowing hard

Come in, join us to the black world quickly

Why are you not able to decide yet?

For Someday when I meet you
Don't forget pureness dearest roses

契り謳う黒焔のヴァルキュリア (Chigiri Utau Kokuen no Valkyria) - CD translation

Let's be frank. I have no idea how to romanise the third word in Kanji. I thought it was Kokuen, but not sure.  Heh I'll just go with that then. This CD is the collaboration between Katakiri Rekka(片霧烈火), who is also known as Closed/Underground (Ngl, she's pretty famous lol, unlike this album) and Noël. 

This is a preview page. The translations will come in December. 

There are actually 2 covers for this CD, one with a Valkyrie and one with the Blue Princess. The one with the Blue Princess looks amazing tbh!




By the way, it's likely you haven't heard the crossfade, so check it out here!

There is again no story track for this CD and there are only 2 new songs in the CD. The order in which I liked the songs is 2=3>1>4, lol 4 has a good beat but the English... sorry it ruins the track for me. 1 is decent, it even mentioned my name, but it was a heeeeelllll to translate. It made no sense to me at all the first 5 times I listened to it. The song is cool melody wise though.

The tracklist is as follows:

#1 契り謳う黒焔のヴァルキュリア

作曲、編曲:Noёl
作詞、歌唱、コーラス:片霧烈火

#2 アルビノの騎士
(-LostFairy- 3rd Fantasia 「祈り捧ぐ聖女のミンネザング」より, from Minnesang)

作曲、編曲、作詞:Noёl
歌唱、コーラス:片霧烈火

#3 新世界より (Shinsekai yori)
(-LostFairy- 8th Fantasia 「乙女が紡ぐ古のマドリガーレ」より, from Madrigale)

作曲、編曲、作詞:Noёl
歌唱、コーラス:片霧烈火

#4 Bloody brightly roses – Re:MIX
(CLOSED/UNDERGROUND 「モルモティカb」より)

作曲、編曲:橋本鏡也
作詞、歌唱、コーラス:片霧烈火

And track 5-8 are instrumentals of those.

I will translate the titles as follows

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...

アルビノの騎士 (Albino no Kishi) - Knight of Albino - Romaji and Translation

Wow... This is a strong song. I imagine a fierce battle field when I think of this song. It's about a hero/knight who wants to reclaim the world for the people by defeating the Gods of Asgard. Asgard is kind of "the kingdom of the sky where the gods live" in Norse mythology. Humans live in "Midgard". The knight is probably an albino, someone with few pigments in his/her skin. I imagine the scene in this song to be clouded in darkness until the knight defeats the gods, then light is released over the world.

I imagine that the "Last Destiny" is the destiny of the knight, to defeat the gods who rule over the world.  The "Lost Destiny" is  that humans can live freely on the world again, not being ruled by gods anymore. Light is released upon the world and the knight dies due to being an albino and not being able to handle light well and due to his/her wounds of fighting the gods. 

This song also appears in the Valkyria album, lyrics unchanged, but sung by Katakiri Rekka. Hence that album is tagged too.  

I liked this song so much I made a cover of it too lol:


 

Anyway, the translation is below:


アスガルド目指す無限の旅路に 終焉を告げる旋律
崩れそうな天空に剣を翳して 神の宴に導かれる

asugarudo mezasu mugen no tabiji ni shuuen wo tsugeru Merodii
kuzure sou na sora ni tsurugi wo kazashite kami no utage ni michibikareru

Heading for Asgard, I embark on an endless trip, a melody that signals demise
I hold up my sword towards the seemingly crumbling skies, and am leaded to the banquet of the gods

祈りを捧げる者への救いを求め「開かれし扉」
刹那の命尽きるまでこの身を突き刺す 眩い光

inori wo sasageru mono he no sukui wo motome 「hirakareshi tobira」
setsuna no inochi tsukiru made kono mi wo tsukisasu mabayui hikari

"The door is opened" as I seek salvation for those who are devoting prayers
A blinding light pierces my body, for just a moment.


目の前に広がる夢幻の大地に 終焉を告げる旋律
崩れそうな天空に剣を翳して 神の宴に導かれる

me no mae ni hirogaru mugen no daichi ni shuuen wo tsugeru Merodii
kuzure sou na sora ni tsurugi wo kazashite kami no utage ni michibikareru

A melody that signals demise of the land of fantasy that spreads out in front of my eyes
I hold up my sword towards the seemingly crumbling skies, and am leaded to the banquet of the gods


祈りを捧げる者との記憶と共に「裁かれし命」
輝き放つ聖戦の舞台に響いた 奇跡

inori wo sasageru mono to no kioku to tomo ni 「sabakareshi inochi」
kagayaki hanatsu seisen no butai ni hibiita kiseki

"My life is judged" together with the memories of those who devote prayers
A miracle, releasing sparkles, reverberated on the Stage of the Holy War.


強く儚き想い 永久の誓いに変える
今にも朽ち果てそうな Last Destiny
忘れてしまわないように

tsuyoku hakanaki omoi towa no chikai ni kaeru
ima ni mo kuchi hate sou na Last Destiny
wasurete shimawanai you ni

A strong fleeting thought of the "Last Destiny"
that is even seeming to fall apart at this moment
turns into an eternal vow
So we don't forget


守るべき者との距離は遠く「輝ける世界」
それでも人の限りある運命に抗い 突き進む

mamorubeki mono to no kyori wa tooku 「kagayakeru sekai」
soredemo hito no kagiri aru sadame ni aragai tsuki susumu

The distance from the "Shining World" to the ones we need to protect is enormous
Yet, I thrust ahead, resisting the finite fate of humans


強く儚き想い 永久の誓いに変える
今にも朽ち果てそうな Last Destiny
忘れてしまわないように

tsuyoku hakanaki omoi towa no chikai ni kaeru
ima ni mo kuchihatesou na Last Destiny
wasurete shimawanai you ni

A strong fleeting thought of the "Last Destiny"
that is even seeming to fall apart at this moment
turns into an eternal vow
So we don't forget


神々の傷跡 非情なソリチュード
再び巡り逢える Lost Destiny
願って光を辿ってく

kamigami no kizuato hijou na sorichuudo
futatabi meguri aeru Lost Destiny
negatte hikari wo tadotteku

The scars of the gods, a cruel solitude
I finally meet the Lost Destiny again
by following the light I wished for



薄れる意識の中で 天空がまた輝くよう祈る…

usureru ishiki no naka de sora ga mata kagayaku you inoru...

In my fading conciousness, I pray that the heavens will shine once again...



Translation note:
- 刹那の命尽きるまで この身を突き刺す 眩い光
I have had great trouble translating this line. I had two interpretations:
- 刹那の命 can mean "A life that lasts just a moment", compared to the Gods, humans live a fraction of the time that they have been alive.
or
- For just a tiny moment, as in a 1/75th second to be precise
With the current translation I have left this ambiguous.
