歯車 (Haguruma) - Zahnrad - Romaji and Translation

"二つの物語は、交差する
Futatsu no monogatari wa, kousa suru
The two stories, cross..."

This is the ancient Zenoth! This song is so epic too! I love how the lyrics mirror eachother like in Zenoth. First, the slayer's part, then the part of the goddess and then their fates intertwine! They meet each other in a spiral of madness (swordswoman) and silence (girl who spins time). The end is a bit ambiguous for me. I interpret this as that this time the eternal being wins and continues to live eternally, while the swordswoman will continue to wander in Purgatory, forever stuck in the past.

Another interpretation could be that the swordswoman died, but took the goddess with her in purgatory and they together wander in purgatory together, fighting out their battle until eternity.

Colour coding:

Red = Nakamura Meiko

Black = Yuduki

Translation:

血塗られた運命が 錆付く身を進め
進んだその先には 斬るべき未来がある

chinurereta unmei ga sabitsuku mi wo susume
tsutsunda sono saki ni wa kirubeki mirai ga aru

This blood stained fate carries my rusted body forward
preceding a future that I must cut down


霞む孤独と罪の色
忘却を果たす ただ強引に
凍る意識はそのままに
翠空に思いを込めて

kasumu kodoku to tsumi no iro
boukyaku no hatasu tada doui ni
kooru ishiki wa sono mama ni
sora ni omoi wo komete

The fading colour of sin and loneliness
I will fulfill oblivion, just forcibly
with a frozen consciousness
I put my heart in the green sky

導きの彼方 運命の歯車廻す
悪戯に歩む時に 別れを告げる
この剣が祈れようとも最後には・・・。

michibiki no kanata unmei no haguruma mawasu
itazura ni ayumu toki ni wakare wo tsugeru
kono tsurugi ga ore you to mo saigo ni wa...

Beyond guidance, the gears of fate turn
and I say goodbye to the times when I walked with mischief
Even if this sword can pray... in the end...

走る走る どこまでも
駆ける駆ける 大地を
戦ぐ風に想い乗せ羽ばたく
背徳の闇を照らすように

hashiru hashiru dokomademo
kakeru kakeru daichi wo
soyogu kaze ni omoi nose habataku
haitoku no yami wo terasu you ni

I run, I run, wherever I go
I dash, I dash, traversing the earth
I let my thoughts spread their wings on the rustling wind
To let the light shine on the immoral darkness

― 君に審判を下す。
- kimi ni shinpan wo kudasu.
- I will give my judgement to you.


その手を血に染めても もう何も感じず
歪んだ正義の中で進む君 許さない

sono te wo chi ni somete mo mou nanimo kanjizu
yuganda seigi no naka de susumu kimi yurusanai

Even though your hands are stained with blood, you cannot feel anything anymore
I won't forgive you, who goes on in your twisted sense of justice

この空を飛ぶ鳥たち
縛られた人生を歩む
永遠の誓いをこの手に
翠空に想いを込めて

kono sora wo tobu toritachi
shibarareta inochi wo ayumu
towa no chikai wo kono te ni
sora ni omoi wo komete

The birds that fly in this sky
those who walk through a restricted life
With these hands I hold the eternal promise
I put my heart into the (green) sky

解き放つ魔法 運命の歯車廻す
悪戯に裁く未来 止めてみせよう
この力が及ばずとも諦めず・・・。

tokihanatsu mahou unmei no haguruma mawasu
itazura ni sabaku mirai tomete mise you
kono chikara ga oyobazu tomo akiramezu...

Unleashing magic, the gears of fate turn
I will try to stop a future that will be judged with mischief
Even if my power is enough, I will not give up...

歌う歌うどこまでも
響く響く 空へと
揺れる花に想い込め遠くへ
儚い命を守るために

utau utau dokomademo
hibiku hibiku sora he to
yureru hana ni omoi kome tooku he
hakanai inochi wo mamoru tame ni

I sing, I sing, wherever I go
it resounds, it resounds, towards the sky
I put my heart in the wavering flower, far away
To protect fleeting life

— 君に審判を下す。
- kimi ni shinpan wo kudasu.
- I will give my judgement to you.

"誓い"をこの剣に
"願い"をこの歌に込めて
廻る決意と罪の螺旋が
今 二人を引き合わす

"chikai" wo kono tsurugi ni
"negai" wo kono uta ni komete
mawaru ketsui to tsumi no rasen ga
ima futari wo hikiawasu

I put a "vow" into my sword
I put a "wish" into my song
The spiral of resolve and sin spins
and now it pulls us two in and unites us

交わす視線には 狂気に静寂が踊る
死線を見据えて

kawasu shisen ni wa kyouki seijaku ga odoru
shisen wo misuete

In our exchanged glances, madness dances with silence
And I set my eyes on the line between life and death

繋ぐ意識を手繰り  呼び醒ました
幾度目かの"禁忌"でも

tsunagu ishiki wo taguri yobisamashita
ikudo me ka no "kinki" demo

I spinned and awakened the conciousness that connects us
even if it is "forbidden" for the dozenth time

叫び翳した 鎖の様な正義を
煉獄に身を置き 永遠の命を斬る

sakebi kazashita kusari no you na seigi wo
rengoku ni mi wo oki towa no inochi wo kiru

I shouted loudly: "A justice that is like chains,
I will leave my body in purgatory and slay eternal life"

嘆き 祈り 全てを抱き
"現在"を"永遠"に歩む

nageki inori subete wo daki
"ima" wo "eien" ni ayumu

I mourn and I pray, embracing everything
I will walk "the present" "eternally"

ただ一つの旋律 (Tada Hitotsu no Senritsu) - Only one melody - Romaji and Translation

"Twinkle Rain", under the night sky, I ask what the meaning of "Eternity" is
Instead of learning what "Ticking time" is, I learn the meaning of "a moment"

Oh wait, wrong album! This is Zahnrad and not Minnesang!

"In her fantasy, she spins a white tale of the past and future
And revives a carved memory like fleeting dream
“Even if ahead there is only loneliness, I will advance together with this fate,
Holy stardust, let my wish reach you, beyond the light…


Even if ahead there is only loneliness, I will advance together with this fate,
Holy stardust, pass down my vows, and engrave them in the heavens…”"

Oh wait, wrong album! This is Zahnrad and not Ataraxia!

"In the end, time flows, memories go around
They are passed down into eternity… A melody of “Eternity”"


Oh wait, wrong album! This is Zahnrad and not Nostalgia!

Basically, this is a song about time and eternity, a prayer of  holy girl. A song of learning what eternity is, learning what a moment is.

Translation:

星空を 包む旋律
風に乗せた 悠久の歌

hoshizora wo tsutsumu merodii
kaze ni noseta yuukyuu no uta

A melody that envelops the starry sky
A song of eternity that rides on the wind


『残酷で優しい世界を
閉じ込めた 永遠に変える。』

「zankoku de yasashii sekai wo
tojikometa eien ni kaeru」

"I locked away a kind yet cruel world
and changed it forever."


この私が 立った一つ使える魔法
kono watashi ga tatta hitotsu tsukaeru mahou
This is the only magic that I can use

終わりのない生を歩んで
刻み続けた時の花
命は朽ちるまで輝く

owari no nai sei wo ayunde
kizamitsudzuketa toki no hana
inochi wa kuchiru made kagayaku

Walking through my endless life
A flower of time that continues to tick away
that shines until life has rotten away


― 永遠の命は輝いてるのか?
- towa no inochi wa kagayaiteru no ka?
- Does eternal life shine?

滲んだ答えを探した
nijinda kotae wo sagashita
I searched for a blurred answer

降りしきり雨の中で
生きる意味を探す旅は
孤独な痛みを識る

furishikiri ame no naka de
ikiru imi wo sagasu tabi wa
kodoku na itami wo shitta

Amidst the pouring rain
On a journey to find the meaning of life
I came to know the pain of loneliness


いつかは忘れ去って
消えてしまう景色なら
この瞬間を永遠に

itsuka wa wasuresatte
kieteshimau keshiki nara
kono toki wo eien ni

Someday we will be forgotten
and if this scenery disappears
Let this moment be eternal


いくつ年を重ねてみても
まるで 壊れた時計のよう
命は消えるから尊い

ikutsu toshi wo kasanetemite mo
marude kowareta tokei no you
inochi wa kieru kara toutoi

It does not matter how many years have passed
it is almost like a broken clock
Life is precious because it can vanish


― 永遠の命は尊くあるのか?
- towa no inochi wa toutoku aru no ka?
- Is eternal life precious?

風が通り過ぎて 問いは空に消えた
kaze ga toorisugite toi wa sora ni kieta
The wind blew past and muy question disappeared into the sky

ざわめいた森の中で
響かせた禁忌の歌は
有終の美を壊した

zawameita mori no naka de
hibikaseta kinki no uta wa
yuushuu no mi wo kowashita

Inside the rustling woods
I made a forbidden song resound
and destroyed the crowing glory


いつか忘れ去って
消えてしまう景色なら
この瞬間を永遠に

itsuka wasuresatte
kieteshimau keshiki nara
kono toki wo eien ni

Someday we will be forgotten
and if this scenery disappears
Let this moment be eternal


咲き乱る花 歌う旅路
身勝手に斬りつけた
血塗られし腕の剣士

sakimidareru hana utau tabiji
migatte ni kiritsuketa
chinurareshi ude no kenshi

Selfishly, she mowed down blooming flowers
singing on her journey
The swordswoman with blood stained arms


忘却の感情 呼び醒ました
さぁ "断罪と慟哭の歌"を

boukyaku no kanjou yobisamashita
saa "danzai to doukoku no uta" wo

I awakened the feeling of oblivion
Now, let's sing a song of "sorrow and lament"


降りしきる雨の中で
生きる意味を探す旅は
孤独の痛みを識った

furishikiru ame no naka de
ikiru imi wo sagasu tabi wa
kodoku no itami wo shitta

Amidst the pouring rain
On a journey to find the meaning of life
I came to know the pain of loneliness


いつかは斬り捨てられ
忘れてしまうものなら
この時を永遠に

itsuka wa kirisuterare
wasurete shimau mono nara
kono toki wo eien ni

Someday I will be slain
and if I am forgotten
Let this moment be eternal

存在理由 (Sonzairiyuu) - Raison d'être - Romaji and Translation

This gives me Albino no Kishi vibes and Vengel/Zenoth vibes haha, a maddened hero that wants to slay the gods. I really like this song too. The bass is sick! The elegance of the chorus, and afterwards there is so much going on in the violins. And again, Nakamura Meiko's vocals are so nice!

I chose the title to be "Raison d'être" , which is French for "reason for living" and sounds more elegant that the English counterpart in my opinion haha. What is her reason for living? Slaying the god who took everything from her and her folks and saving lives.

此の眼 刹那を通して
此の手 刹那に斬り込んでく
此の背 翼が生えたように速くて
此の血 一族の誇りを
此の気 貫き通す決意
此の世 駆けた炎の様に

kono me setsuna wo mitooshite
kono te setsuna ni kirikonde
kono se tsubasa ga haeta you ni hayakute
kono chi ichizoku no hokori wo
kono ki tsuranuki toosu ketsui
kono yo kaketa honoo no you ni

These eyes, pass through the moment
These hands, slice into the moment
This back, fast as if has grown wings
This blood, the pride of a clan
This spirit, a resolve to penetrate
This world, like running flames


切っ先に全てを込めて
払う その痛み 闘志燃やした
罪と煉獄に

kissaki ni subete wo komete
harau sono itami toushi moyashita
tsumi to rengoku ni

I put everything into my sword
I wipe away the pain and burned my will to fight
Towards sin and purgatory


壊れた心 因果の螺旋
死線を越えてく 白昼夢
引いた剣 もつれ合う身は
逃げ場など無くて

kowareta kokoro inga no rasen
shizen wo koeteku yume
hajiita tsurugi motsure au mi wa
nigeba nado nakute

My broken heart, a spiral of fate
I cross the line between life and death, a daydream (dream)
I drew my sword and my entangled body
could not escape anymore


正義など掲げてなお
死へ導く愚かな者
繰り返して 花は空に染まる

seigi nado kakagete nao
shi he michibiku oroka na mono
kurikaeshite hana wa sora ni somaru

Even with justice on the line
the fools that leads us to death
repeatedly dye the sky with flowers


かつて神童と呼ばれて
その身 闘う為にあると
刻み込まれた暮らしの中 この世は
暗く闇に飲み込まれて
平和 愛など知らずにただ
闇を恐れて逃げて生きた

katsute shindou to yobarete
sono mi tatakau tame ni aru to
kizami komareta kurashi no naka kono yo wa
kuraku yami ni nomikomarete
heiwa ai nado shirazu ni tada
yami wo osorete nigete ikita

Formerly, I was called a wonder child
and in my life was engraved that my body was destined to fight
In this world, swallowed up by darkness
in which we never knew peace and love
we only lived fearing and fleeing from the darkness


忘却の彼方の思い
気付く瞬間に 涙溢れた
崩れる未来に

boukyaku no kanata no omoi
kidzuku shunkan ni namida afureta
kuzureru mirai ni

A thought at the border of oblivion
at the moment I realised it, my tears overflowed
to the crumbling future


覚醒の時 世界の痛み
歴史の重みを 識った
荒んだ生を  断ち切る事で
救える命が

kakusei no toki sekai no itami
rekishi no omomi wo shitta
susanda sei wo tachikiru koto de
sukueru inochi ga

At my time of awakening, I knew
about the pain of the world and the weight of history
By cutting off the rough life we lived up till now
If there are


あるならば 迷いは無い
この命尽きる時まで
繰り返して 闇を切り続けよう

aru naraba mayoi wa nai
kono inochi tsukiru toki made
kurikaeshite yami wo kiri tsudzukeyou

lives that can be saved, I will not hesitate
Until my life ends
I will repeatedly continue to cut down the darkness


『永遠を生きる魔法のような
神をも冒涜する者が居る。』 と

「eien wo ikiru mahou no you na
kami wo mo boutoku suru mono ga iru」 to

"There surely are people who blaspheme the god
who lives eternally through a kind of magic"


風が運んだ 噂を聞いた
胸に刺さる衝動 ただ
抑えられずに駆けだした
乾く荒野の中を

kaze ga hakonda uwasa wo kiita
mune ni sasaru shoudou tada
osararezu ni kakedashita
kawaku kono ya no naka wo

I heard a rumour like that carried by the wind
I felt an impulse that pierces through my chest
and I could only run uncontrollably
through the dry wilderness


始まりと終わりがある
人の生の儚ささえ
冒涜する 永遠の命を斬る

hajimari to owari ga aru
hito no sei no hakanasa sae
boutoku suru towa no inochi wo kiru

There is a beginning and an end
even to the fragility of human life
I blaspheme and slay down the eternal life

 

Translation notes:

- 救える命が 

あるならば 迷いは無い

 If there are lives 

that can be saved, I will not hesitate

The line continues in the next paragraph but I translated it as one sentence and broke it off in the middle too

不死の魔法使い (Fushi no Mahoutsukai) - Immortal Sorcerer - Romaji and Translation

Pretty good waltzy song too. Yuduki's voice has a soft gentle vibe to it. Actually when I was translating this song I was like: Wow... This gives me so many Minnesang, Ataraxia and Zenoth/Maisery vibes haha, a girl spinning eternity and asking if it is really ideal. An immortal being that only knows eternity and not the fleeting lifespan normal humans have. Devoting endless prayers, singing ethereal songs, eternity sure is lonely. You learn loss and how everything dies but you. Ataraxia also has song that questions eternal life and adresses the loneliness of eternity. A flower of memories and an eternal garden where the unscathed pure life is lived, that is so Zenoth and Maisery haha. Would you want to be a god that lives eternally? I wouldn't, definitely not haha.

Translation:

綺麗な実をつけた 葡萄に似た実を摘んで
積んで 繰り返す 偽りの無い世界
時が経てば朽ち行く この世に摂理は
弱く脆いものだと ただ感じた

kirei na mi wo tsuketa budou ni nita mi wo tsunde
tsunde kurikaesu itsuwari no nai sekai
toki ga tateba kuchiyuku kono yo no setsuri wa
yowaku moroi mono dato tada kanjita

I pick berries that resemble grapes from a plant with beautiful fruits
I pile them up and I repeat, in this world without any lies'
As time passes and the divine providence of this world rots away,
I just felt that it was a weak and brittle thing


安らかな夜 眠りに落ちた孤月
運命の導き 探していた追想

yasuraka na yoru nemuri ni ochita kogetsu
unmei no michibiki sagashiteita tsuisou

On a peaceful night, while the lonely moon had fallen asleep
the guidance of fate, the reminiscence I was looking for came to me


生きて行く意味さえも隔離して
静かな月夜に祈る未来
悠久の時の中 抗って

ikiteiku imi sae mo kakurishite
shizuka na tsukiyo ni inoru mirai
yuukyuu no toki no naka aragatte

Even the meaning of living is isolated
and I pray for a future on this quiet moonlit night
Amidst the eternal time, I resist


ー 叫ぶ。
sakebu
- I scream.

現在や過去の事 未来さえもすべて
消し去って忘れれば 幸せな終焉?
弱く脆いのはこの世界じゃなくて
私の心だった・・・。

ima ya kako no koto mirai sae mo subete
keshisatte wasurereba shiawase na mirai?
yowaku moroi no wa kono sekai janakute
watashi no kokoro datta...

"The present and the past and even the future,
If everything is erased and forgotten, will there be a happy end?
The world is not a weak and brittle thing,
no... it was my heart..."


遠い昔のこと 絵本で見た花
それは不老不死の花 とても優しい世界
時を絶てば朽ち行く この世の摂理は
弱く脆いものだと ただ思った

In a distant past, I saw a flower in a picture book
It was an immortal and perpetual youthful flower in a very gentle world
As time passes and the divine providence of this world rots away,
I just felt that it was a weak and brittle thing

tooi mukashi no koto ehon de mita hana
sore wa furou fushi no hana totemo yasashii sekai
toki wo tate ba kuchiyuku kono yo no setsuri wa
yowaku moroi mono dato tada omotta


静かな夜風 頬を撫でる花びら
手に入れた花 そっと触れたあの夜から

shizuka na yokaze hoho wo naderu hanabira
te ni ireta hana sotto fureta ano yoru kara

Flower petals softly carress my cheeks on a quiet breezy night
Since that night when I obtained the flower and softly touched it


崩れ行く 人生の足音に
気付かずに思い馳せた未来
悠久の時の中 彷徨って

kuzureyuku jinsei no ashioto ni
kidzukazu ni omoi aseta mirai
yuukyuu no toki no naka samayotte

Without noticing the sound of the footsteps of a crumbling life
I imagined the future
And I wandered through eternity



― 気付く。
- kidzuku.
- I realise.

幾度 悲しみを乗り越えた先には
絶望と孤独感 終わらない未来
弱く脆いのは この世界じゃなくて
私の幻想だった・・・。

ikudo kanashimi wo norikaeta saki ni wa
zetsubou to kodokukan owaranai mirai
yowaku moroi no wa kono sekai janakute
watashi no yume datta

After overcoming sorrow countless times
feeling despaired and lonely, the future is endless
The world is not weak and brittle,
but my fantasies were....


安らかな夜 眠りに落ちた孤月
運命の導き 探していた追想

yasuraka na yoru nemuri ni ochita kogetsu
unmei no michibiki sagashiteita tsuisou

On a peaceful night, while the lonely moon had fallen asleep
the guidance of fate, the reminiscence I was looking for came to me


生きて行く意味さえも隔離して
静かな月夜に祈る未来

Even the meaning of living is isolated
and I pray for a future on this quiet moonlit night
Amidst the eternal time, I resist


― 叫ぶ。
- sakebu.
- I shout.

現在や過去の事 未来さえもすべて
消し去って忘れれば 幸せな終焉?
弱く脆いのはこの世界じゃなくて
私の心だった・・・。

ima ya kako no koto mirai sae mo subete

"The present and the past and even the future,
If everything is erased and forgotten, will there be a happy end?
The world is not a weak and brittle thing,
no... it was my heart..."

煉獄の剣士 (Rengoku no Kishi) - The Swordswoman of Purgatory - Romaji and Translation

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG. PASPAL GJGJ! I love the instruments, I love the chorus back vocals, the epicness, the lyrics... EVERYTHING. I ESPECIALLY LOVE MEIKO'S VOICE IN THIS! I think it is one of my favourite Symholic songs now actually. It really left a lasting impact on me as you can read haha. Every time I go on a walk I vibe to this song when it comes on autoplay. I suddenly remember that I had to figure out the english in the chorus of the song myself. It was in the middle of my exam weeks in january and I was like: I have 4 exams to pass, what shall I do? YES FIGURE OUT SYMHOLIC LYRICS! ... Aurora... no... that is not what you should do haha. But did it regardless haha. I always misheard "I will devote" as "I will be born" and "as long as evil" as "As long all evil". The Japanese text actually helped me here haha. The crossfade actually spelled out the spoken part. I first figured out it myself, but I had minor differences in my transcription (mainly punctuation and tense).

This song describes a brave warrior maiden that decides to go on a quest to slay/judge a goddess. It does kind of remind me of Vengel/Zenoth/Albino no Kishi in terms of lyrics. A brave knight decides to resist fate and fight those that surpress their folks... I love dramatic stories like that!

Translation:

When the gears of fate grind together,
the maiden wielded the sword shall race across the land
and the maiden who controls time shall pray to the heavens.
When the gears of fate turn,
the maiden who wielded the sword shall exact her justice
and the maiden who controls time shall protect her world.
their stories will become intertwined.

強く誓いを掲げて
駆けた 荒れる大地の中を
色褪せた大空の下で

shiru koei no kenshi

I strongly took up a vow
and I ran through the rough lands
and underneath the faded land
knowing I am the swordwoman of loneliness


燻った闘志を燃やし
ただ獣のように砕く 破滅の鎖を

kusubutta toushi wo moyashi
tada kemono no you ni kudaku hametsu no kusari wo

Burning with a smouldering will to fight
I just smashed through the chains of destruction like a beast


この瞳に刻まれた 契約の代償
霞む景色 因果の棘が刺す
堕ちる意識が 思考の巡りを阻む

kono me ni kizamareta keiyaku no daishou
kasumu keshiki inga no toge ga sasu
ochiru ishiki ga shikou no meguri wo habamu

An indemnification of my contract has been carved in my eye
The thorns of fate pierce through and haze my vision
My degenerating consciousness prevents my thoughts from going around


『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

Ah, this sword is my pride and destiny
my swordplay will adore and save everyone
As long as evil exist in this world, I will devote my entire life to this sword, continue to fight

"Ah, This sword is my pride, this sword is my destiny.
My swordplay will be adored by everyone, and I hope it will save everyone.
As long as evil exists in this world, I will devote everything to this sword and I will continue to fight."

kiru kokou no kenshi

The throne I formerly longed for
is now in a distant abyss
I, the lonely swordswoman,
cut through a fragment of my trapped memory


凍てついた後悔の中
ただ弱い正義に縋り 審判を下す

itetsuita koukai no naka
tada yowai seigi ni sugari shinpan wo kudasu

Amidst my frozen regret
I only cling to a weak justicce and pass down my judgment


心に刻まれた 粛清の傷跡
嘆きの声 生命に問いかける
朽ちる意識が 思考の螺旋を阻む

kokoro ni kizamareta shukusei no kizuato
nageki no koe inochi ni toikakeru
kuchiru ishiki ga shikou no rasen wo habamu

The scars of the purge have been carved in my heart
Lamenting voices beg for their lives
My decaying consciousness halts the spiral of my thoughts


『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

Ah, this sword is my pride and destiny
my swordplay will adore and save everyone
As long as evil exist in this world, I will devote my entire life to this sword, continue to fight

"Ah, This sword is my pride, this sword is my destiny.
My swordplay will be adored by everyone, and I hope it will save everyone.
As long as evil exists in this world, I will devote everything to this sword and I will continue to fight."


彼方へと続く 茨の道
道標などもう無いけれど

今 駆ける大空へ

kanata he to tsudzuku ibara no michi
michishirube nado mou nai keredo
saisho ni mita sekai wo se ni
ima kakeru oozora he

I continue on the thorny road that leads me to the boundary
even though there are no signs to guide me anymore
turning my back to the world I saw at the beginning
now, I run towards the vast sky


この瞳に刻まれた 契約の代償
霞む景色 因果の棘が刺す
堕ちる意識が 思考の巡りを阻む

kono me ni kizamareta keiyaku no daishou
kasumu keshiki inga no toge ga sasu
ochiru ishiki ga shikou no meguri wo habamu

An indemnification of my contract has been carved in my eye
The thorns of fate pierce through and haze my vision
My degenerating consciousness prevents my thoughts from going around


『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

Ah, this sword is my pride and destiny
my swordplay will adore and save everyone

Kanji Compilation (Zahnrad)

煉獄の騎士

When the gears of fate grind together,
the maiden wielded the sword shall race across the land
and the maiden who controls time shall pray to the heavens.
When the gears of fate turn,
the maiden who wielded the sword shall exact her justice
and the maiden who controls time shall protect her world.
their stories will become intertwined.

強く誓いを掲げて
駆けた 荒れる大地の中を
色褪せた大空の下で
識る 孤影の剣士

燻った闘志を燃やし
ただ獣のように砕く 破滅の鎖を

この瞳に刻まれた 契約の代償
霞む景色 因果の棘が刺す
堕ちる意識が 思考の巡りを阻む

『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

かつて焦がれた玉座は
今や遠い深淵の中
囚われた記憶のは欠片を
斬る 孤高の剣士

凍てついた後悔の中
ただ弱い正義に縋り 審判を下す

心に刻まれた 粛清の傷跡
嘆きの声 生命に問いかける
朽ちる意識が 思考の螺旋を阻む

『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

彼方へと続く 茨の道
道標などもう無いけれど
最初に観た世界を背に
今 駆ける大空へ

この瞳に刻まれた 契約の代償
霞む景色 因果の棘が刺す
堕ちる意識が 思考の巡りを阻む

『この剣は私の誇りであり、この剣は私の運命である。
私の剣術は全ての人を魅了し、また全ての人を救うだろう。
この世に悪が存在する限り、 私はすべてをこの剣に捧げ、戦い続ける。』

―――― いつか 識る未来にささげる この剣を



不死の魔法使い


綺麗な実をつけた 葡萄に似た実を摘んで
積んで 繰り返す 偽りの無い世界
時が経てば朽ち行く この世に摂理は
弱く脆いものだと ただ感じた

安らかな夜 眠りに落ちた孤月
運命の導き 探していた追想

生きて行く意味さえも隔離して
静かな月夜に祈る未来
悠久の時の中 抗って

ー 叫ぶ。

現在や過去の事 未来さえもすべて
消し去って忘れれば 幸せな終焉?
弱く脆いのはこの世界じゃなくて
私の心だった・・・。

遠い昔のこと 絵本で見た花
それは不老不死の花 とても優しい世界
時を絶てば朽ち行く この世に摂理は
弱く脆いものだと ただ思った

静かな夜風 頬を撫でる花びら
手に入れた花 そっと触れたあの夜から

崩れ行く 人生の足音に
気付かずに思い馳せた未来
悠久の時の中 彷徨って

― 気付く。

幾度 悲しみを乗り越えた先には
絶望と孤独感 終わらない未来
弱く脆いのは この世界じゃなくて
私の幻想だった・・・。

安らかな夜 眠りに落ちた孤月
運命の導き 探していた追想

生きて行く意味さえも隔離して
静かな月夜に祈る未来
悠久の時の中 抗って

― 叫ぶ。

現在や過去の事 未来さえもすべて
消し去って忘れれば 幸せな終焉?
弱く脆いのはこの世界じゃなくて
私の心だった・・・。

存在理由
此の眼 刹那を通して
此の手 刹那に斬り込んでく
此の背 翼が生えたように速くて
此の血 一族の誇りを
此の気 貫き通す決意
此の世 駆けた炎の様に

切っ先に全てを込めて
払う その痛み 闘志燃やした
罪と煉獄に

壊れた心 因果の螺旋
死線を越えてく 白昼夢
引いた剣 もつれ合う身は
逃げ場など無くて

正義など掲げてなお
死へ導く愚かな者
繰り返して 花は空に染まる

かつて神童と呼ばれて
その身 闘う為にあると
刻み込まれた暮らしの中 この世は
暗く闇に飲み込まれて
平和 愛など知らずにただ
闇を恐れて逃げて生きた

忘却の彼方の思い
気付く瞬間に 涙溢れた
崩れる未来に

覚醒の時 世界の痛み
歴史の重みを 識った
荒んだ生を  断ち切る事で
救える命が

あるならば 迷いは無い
この命尽きる時まで
繰り返して 闇を切り続けよう

『永遠を生きる魔法のような
神をも冒涜する者が居る。』 と

風が運んだ 噂を聞いた
胸に刺さる衝動 ただ
抑えられずに駆けだした
乾く荒野の中を

始まりと終わりがある
人の生の儚ささえ
冒涜する 永遠の命を斬る


ただ一つの旋律


星空を 包む旋律
風に乗せた 悠久の歌

『残酷で優しい世界を
閉じ込めた 永遠に変える。』

この私が たった一つ使える魔法

終わりのない生を歩んで
刻み続けた時の花
命は朽ちるまで輝く

― 永遠の命は輝いてるのか?

滲んだ答えを探した

降りしきり雨の中で
生きる意味を探す旅は
孤独な痛みを識る

いつかは忘れ去って
消えてしまう景色なら
この瞬間を永遠に

いくつ年を重ねてみても
まるで 壊れた時計のよう
命は消えるから尊い

― 永遠の命は尊くあるのか?

風が通り過ぎて 問いは空に消えた

ざわめいた森の中で
響かせた禁忌の歌は
有終の美を壊した

いつか忘れ去って
消えてしまう景色なら
この瞬間を永遠に

咲き乱る花 歌う旅路
身勝手に斬りつけた
血塗られし腕の剣士

忘却の感情 呼び醒ました
さぁ "断罪と慟哭の歌"を

降りしきる雨の中で
生きる意味を探す旅は
孤独の痛みを識った

いつかは斬り捨てられ
忘れてしまうものなら
この時を永遠に

歯車


血塗られた運命が 錆付く身を進め
進んだその先には 斬るべき未来がある

霞む孤独と罪の色
忘却を果たす ただ強引に
凍る意識はそのままに
翠空に思いを込めて

導きの彼方 運命の歯車廻す
悪戯に歩む時に 別れを告げる
この剣が祈れようとも最後には・・・。

走る走る どこまでも
駆ける駆ける 大地を
戦ぐ風に想い乗せ羽ばたく
背徳の闇を照らすように

― 君に審判を下す。

その手を血に染めても もう何も感じず
歪んだ正義の中で進む君 許さない

この空を飛ぶ鳥たち
縛られた人生を歩む
永遠の誓いをこの手に
翠空に想いを込めて

解き放つ魔法 運命の歯車
悪戯に裁く未来 止めてみせよう
この力が及ばずとも諦めず・・・。

歌う歌うどこまでも
響く響く 空へと
揺れる花に想い込め遠くへ
儚い命を守るために

— 君に審判を下す。

"誓い"をこの剣に
"願い"をこの歌に込めて
廻る決意と罪の螺旋が
今 二人を引き合わす
 

交わす視線には 狂気に静寂が踊る
死線を見据えて

繋ぐ意識を手繰り  呼び醒ました
幾度目かの"禁忌"でも

叫び翳した 鎖の様な正義を
煉獄に身を置き 永遠の命を斬る

嘆き 祈り 全てを抱き
"現在"を"永遠"に歩む


Zahnrad -翠空と導きの歯車- (Zahnrad - Suikuu to michibiki no haguruma -) - CD translation

Hello everyone, I think 24ths are good days for me, I feel awfully productive.

Here we are with another presentation page of the Symholic Zahnrad CD!! I have overlooked this CD for quite some time to my regret. But I have to say, this CD is amazing and has exceeded my expectations. The vocals of Nakamura Meiko... I never actually expected her to have done Symholic vocals. In any case they are amazing!! The beautiful symphonic melody and the celestial accompanyment ah... I am happy that I can translate this album. This kinda feels like a pre-zenoth cd with almost the same epicness haha. This CD actually also reminds me of -LostFairy-'s Minnesang, which is also a good cd!

Apparently this CD is a continuation on the first 2 CDs of Symholic. I tend to notie those things afterwards lmao. So guess what... I translate CD 1 and 2 of Symholic as well, though I never planned to from the start.

If you haven't heard the crossfade, it can be found below!



You can buy the album on booth!

The order in which I like the tracks is 1>3>5>4>2

Track 1 definitely is my favourite track! I love it a lot. I actually vibe on it hard when I am walking outside haha. After that comes track 3, which is also amazing! Then 5, great duet! I love the interaction between the singers! Then come 4 and 2 which are also lovely! Ahh this cd is such a treasure for my ears.
