Romanesque ~光と闇に帰依する幻想~ (Romanesque ~Hikari to Yami ni Kieru Gensou~) - Romanesque ~Fantasy devoted to Light and Darkness~ - Romaji and Translation

I envision this song as the connection between Stella and Luna, and decided to translate it from the point of view of both girls at first. Then we have the part where one of the girls prays, judging from their roles in their earlier CD's and this CD, it has to be Stella who is praying and guiding the world. The second part must be by Luna, and the reprise of the first chorus must be by both again.

This song has also appeared on the very first -LostFairy- album as first track. I am not sure why this song was reprised here, as I have not translated the first CD yet. I will come back on this.

Composition wise, I think it is quite decent. I really enjoy how the the ostinato goes from left to right and back when you wear headphones! Overall, It would place somewhere in mid-high tier of my enjoyment. I think they actually made the remix a little heavier than the original.

Translation:

深い闇に眠る旋律
Lost ancient Fantasy
奇跡の幕開け

fukai yami ni nemuru senritsu
Lost Ancient Fantasy
kiseki no makuake

A melody sleeping in deep darkness
"Lost ancient fantasy"
the beginning of a miracle

長い夢の中で見た世界が
喜劇と悲劇を繰り返し 時を紡ぐ
その歴史は 終焉のSymphonia

nagai yume no naka de mita sekai ga
kigeki to higeki wo kurikaeshi toki wo tsumugu
sono rekishi wa owari no nai Symphonia

The world we saw inside a long dream,
Comedy and tragedy repeat over and over, spinning time
That history is known as "the Symphonia of Demise"

広い虚空の下で憂いながら
美しき未来を願って 祈り捧ぐ
過去の華に思いを寄せて

hiroi sora no shita de urei nagara
utsukushiki mirai wo negatte inori sasagu
kako no hana ni omoi wo yosete

Under the vast sky, I slightly griefed,
I wished for a beautiful future and continued to pray
And I thought of the brilliance of the past

「もし今だけ奇跡が起こるなら、この手に輝きを」
古の呪文唱え 眠りし - 魔力 – が目覚める

「moshi ima dake kiseki ga okoru nara kono te ni kagayaki wo」
inishie no jumon tonae nemurishi chikara ga mezameru...

"If only a miracle would happen right now, I would let it shine with these hands"
I chant an ancient spell, and the dormant - magic power - awakens

響けこの声よ 何処までも強く
Rise of mystic roar 人は皆 光を求め
新しい世界が生まれる
Lost ancient Fantasy 今 導くから・・・

hibike kono koe yo dokomademo tsuyoku
Rise of Mystic Roar hito wa minna hikari wo motome
atarashii sekai ga umareru
Lost Ancient Fantasy ima michibiku kara...

Reverberate my voice, strongly to wherever it may lead
"Rise of mystic roar", all humans seek for light
A new world will be born
Lost ancient Fantasy, now, I shall guide you...

「もし今だけ奇跡が起こるなら、この手に輝きを」
古の呪文唱え 眠りし - 魔力 – が目覚める

「moshi ima dake kiseki ga okoru nara kono te ni kagayaki wo」
inishie no jumon tonae nemurishi chikara ga mezameru...

"If only a miracle would happen right now, I would let it shine with these hands"
I chant an ancient spell, and the dormant - magic power - awakens


響けこの声よ 何処までも深く
Rise of mystic roar 人は皆 彷徨いながら
新しい世界が生まれる
Lost ancient fantasy 奇跡の物語

hibike kono koe yo dokomademo fukaku
Rise of Mystic Roar hito wa minna samayoi nagara
atarashii sekai ga umareru
Lost Ancient Fantasy kiseki no monogatari

Reverberate my voice, deeply to wherever it may lead
Rise of mystic roar, all humans wander around
A new world will be born
Lost ancient Fantasy, a story of miracles...

届けこの声よ 何処までも遠く
Rise of mystic roar 人は皆 光を求め
新しい歴史が始まる
Lost ancient Fantasy今 奏でるから・・・
- 終焉なき詩 -

todoke kono koe yo dokomademo tooku
Rise of Mystic Roar hito wa minna hikari wo motome
atarashii rekishi ga hajimaru
Lost Ancient Fantasy ima kanaderu kara...
-Owarinaki Uta-

Reverberate my voice, far away to wherever it may lead
"Rise of mystic roar", all humans seek for light
A new history will be born,
Lost ancient Fantasy, now we shall play for you...
- An endless song - 

Translation notes:
- hana as brilliance, the kanji of this "flower" has a second meaning, hence I translate it as brilliance

月影トロイメライ (Tsukikage Träumerei) - Moonlight Träumerei - Romaji and Translation

Another great song, the counterpart of track 3: which described the counterpart song, the song of stargazing, this song describes the song of the moonlight. Träumerei is german for "dreaming".
Fitting, as this song is also about Luna, who finally can sleep again.

After escaping (?, I don't think this is described, but this is how I interpret it) the horrors of track 4, Luna has found herself in an unknown world, a world where her tragedy is forgotten and she can fall asleep soundly.

Composition wise I think this song is very strong, it has this really nostalgic yet dark feeling, eupe does a great job at delivering the nostalgia with an enchanting like voice.

Nachingel has made a video of this song. You can also read the translation there:


Translation:


yami ga tsumugishi yumemi no shirabe

A dreamlike melody, spun by the darkness

フラフラと 虚ろな瞳して彷徨い歩く
かげる天空 まるで「少女」の心模様

furafura to utsuro na me shite samayoi aruku
kageru sora marude 「watashi」 no kokoro mo you

Wandering aimlessly with empty eyes,
The dark sky is completely like the state of “the girl’s (my)” heart



理不尽な悲惨の地は 跡形もなく
物伝わぬ 断罪の丘

rifujin na sangeki no chi wa atokata mo naku
monoiwanu danzai no oka

The land of absurd tragedy is nowhere to be found.
The unknown hill of condemnation


いつしか 人々は出会いを重ね
巡り合う風に やがては霞む悲惨

itsushika hitobito wa deai wo kasane
meguriau kaze ni yagate wa kasumu kigeki

Before long, people started meeting eachother,
the wind blows around and eventually fades away the tragedy


悲しみも 闇に堕ちた記憶も
色褪せず 冷たい涙に変わる
届かない思いだけ 胸に秘めた「少女」を
導くように響く - 月影の詩 -

kanashimi mo yami ni ochita kioku mo
iroasezu tsumetai namida ni kawaru
todokanai omoi dake mune ni himeta 「watashi」wo
michibiku you ni hibiku -tsukikage no uta-

The sadness and memories that have fallen into the darkness
Without losing vividness, they change into cold tears
Only unreached feelings, that “the girl (I)” hides in her heart,
Reverberate like a guidance – The song of Moonlight - 


「死の恐怖から逃れ闇に堕ちた魂に、救いはないのかもしれない。
それでも私は・・・平穏を求め、これからも・・・」

「shi no kyoufu kara nogare yami ni ochita tamashii ni, sukui wa nai no kamoshirenai.
soredemo watashi wa... heion wo motome, korekara mo...」

“There might be no salvation for the souls that have escaped from the fear of death and have fallen into darkness. But still… I… seek peace, and I will continue to do it…”



このまま運命に見を委ねるなら
過ぎ去りし風に 流されるのだろうか?

kono mama sadame ni mi wo yudaneru nara
sugisarishi kaze ni nagasareru no darou ka?

If she devotes her body to fate,
will she be taken with the bygone wind?



忌まわしき過去の記憶もすべて いつの日か・・・

imamawashiki kako no kioku mo subete itsu no hi ka...

The memories of the unpleasant past, will they all someday…?

悲しみも 闇に堕ちた記憶も
背負いながら 明日への夢を抱く
変わらない思いだけ 胸に秘めた「魔女」を
導くように響く - 月影の詩 -

kanashimi mo yami ni ochita kioku mo
seoi nagara asu he no yume wo idaku
kawaranai omoi dake mune ni himeta 「watashi」 wo
michibiku you ni hibiku -tsukikage no uta-

The sadness and memories that have fallen into the darkness
While carrying them, I embrace my dream for tomorrow
Only unreaching feelings, that “the witch (I)” hides in her heart,
Reverberate like a guidance – the Song of Moonlight- 



今宵も 夢見心地で微睡む・・・

koyoi mo yumemi kokochi de madoromu

Tonight, I shall doze off in a dreamy state of mind

星詠ユーフォリア (Hoshiyomi Euphoria) - Stargazing Euphoria - Romaji and Translation

So the next song is also about Stella, who starts to wander and discover a new world. I decided to call the song she sings the "stargazing song". At first I wanted to call it the "Stargazing Euphoria", like the title of this song, but I think it is a better fit if I just translate it with "song". Euphoria is the feeling of intense joy, something Stella hopes to achieve by discovering new worlds and loving them.

This song is sung by Eupe and Tanezaki Atsumi does the voice acting in the beginning and middle of the song.

I realised I misspelt the word 鐘 as 瞳 in the kanji at first, I have fixed it now. I thought it was very strange that "eyes of Festivity" would guide her.

I don't have much to say about this song composition wise, I like it, but it would probably place somewhere in the middle in terms of my enjoyment.

If you want to read the translation while listening, you can listen to it through nachingel's channel
Please support -LostFairy- as well through purchases through booth or melonbooks or so though!

Hikari ga tsumugishi shinpi no shirabe

A melody of mystery, woven by light

祝祭の鐘が「少女」を導く
降り注いだ星の欠片 輝き始まる
背負いし運命の 意味さえ知らずに
風のように 鳥のように 自由な天空で揺る揺蕩い

shukusai no kane ga 「watashi」 wo michibiku
furisosoida hoshi no kakera kagayaki hajimeru

tsumugareteku kiseki -hoshiyomi no uta-

The bell of festivity guide “the girl (me)”
Star fragments poured down and start to shine
Without knowing the meaning of the fate she carries on her back,
she freely flutters in the sky, like the wind, like a bird
A miracle is woven together – The Stargazing song -


何気ない日々を 穏やかに過ごしてた
満たされながらも まだ見ぬ世界に憧れ

nanigenai hibi wo odayaka ni sugoshiteta
mitasare nagara mo mada minu sekai ni akogare

She spent her casual days peacefully,
And although she was fulfilled, she longed for worlds she had not seen yet


キラキラと光る 優しい目差しを浴びて
小さな箱庭で 朝を迎える喜び

kirakira to hikaru yasashii hizashi wo abite
chiisana hakoniwa de asa wo mukaeru yorokobi

A gentle gaze, flooded with glittering light
The happiness of welcoming the morning in a small miniature garden


訪れた妖精が 楽しそうに踊りだす
明日を共に綴る 悠久のSequentia

otozureta yousei ga tanoshisou ni odori dasu
asu wo tomo ni tsudzuru yuukyuu no Sequentia

The visiting fairies start to dance, they look as if they are having fun,
they spell out “tomorrow” together: “the Sequentia of Eternity”


収穫の園が 季節を彩る
甘い果実 拾い集め 彷徨い始める
背負いし運命に 抗いもせずに
夢のように 花のように 広い大地に散らばる
幾千もの奇跡 辿り始める・・・

shuukaku no sono ga kisetsu wo irodoru
amai kajitsu hiroi atsume samayoi hajimeru
seoishi sadame ni aragai mo sezu ni
yume no you ni hana no you ni hiroi daichi ni chirabaru
ikusen mono kiseki tadori hajimeru...

The gardens of harvest colour our seasons
She collects sweet fruits and starts to wander
without resisting the fate she carries on my back,
she starts to follow thousands of miracles...
like a dream, like flowers scattered around the vast land


キラキラと光る 星座を眺めながら
小さな箱庭で 夜を迎える喜び

kirakira to hikaru seiza wo nagame nagara
chiisana hakoniwa de yoru wo mukaeru yorokobi

While she gazes at the constellations flooded with glittering light
She feels the happiness of welcoming the night in a small miniature garden


訪れた妖精が楽しそうに踊りだす
明日を共に綴る 悠久のSequentia

otozureta yousei ga tanoshisou ni odoridasu
asu wo tomo ni tsudzuru yuukyuu no Sequentia

The visiting fairies start to dance, they look as if they are having fun,
they spell out “tomorrow” together: “the Sequentia of Eternity”


「世界は私に、在るべき道を示す。
これが課せられた運命だというのなら
私は・・・喜んでそれを受け入れましょう」

「Sekai wa watashi ni, arubeki michi wo shimesu.
kore ga kaserareta sadame dato iu no nara
watashi wa... yorokonde sore wo uke iremashou」

“The world will show me the ideal road.
If this is my imposed fate,
I... will gladly accept it”


いつか 辿り着ける? 無限の Euphoria

itsuka tadoritsukeru? mugen no Euphoria

Will she arrive there someday? At the infinite Euphoria?


祝祭の鐘が「少女」を導く
降り注いだ星の欠片 輝き始まる
やがて時が経ち そのすべてを知り
閉ざされてた扉を開け 天空と大地を感じて
幻想の彼方へと・・・

Star fragments poured down and start to shine
After all, as time passes by, she shall know everything
and she will open the closed doors and feel the sky and the earth
Towards the boundary of fantasy...

刻まれし悠久のアタラクシア - Kizamareshi Yuukyuu no Ataraxia - CD translation

And we continue with the other cd that precedes the New cross fantasia, which is the Ataraxia CD.
The word Ataraxia means "a negation of disturbances" or "imperturbability". It describes the story of a girl infatuated with light and a girl infatuated with darkness and how they meet eachother. The romaji is courtesy of my friend SuperCoolGuy, thanks so much, you truly are supercool ;). Check his Tumblr for Ariabl'eyes, ArsMagna Omnibus and Denpa translations ^^!
If there is any inconsistencies in my blog post format, blogger has updated to a new lay out for me, why can't companies keep the same look for their products forever... I mean... I finally got used to using that and now I need to use my brain to learn the new layout...

Anyway, this CD is the first CD to have two "protagonists", Luna and Stella. The golden blonde haired is Stella, the Silver haired heterochromia girl is called luna. I suspected as much, but it was confirmed when i looked at -LostFairy-'s booth and saw the acryl keyholders. The two characters are voiced by Tanezaki Atsumi and Fukada Ai.

The story is a continuation of both the Minnezang and the Grimoire CDs. It goes as follows:
"An endless melody, a fantasy of black and white". *A clock starts ticking* A holy girl who continued to pray with affection. To connect the story of eternity to the beautiful future, she revives it inside herself, conveying a dazzling light. A witch of the abyss, loved by nothingness, in order to forget the abominable tragedy that had occured in her past, she revives it inside herself, conveying deep darkness. Two miracles appeared, in the end they were meant to be carried on their backs. Piling up fate of the past, led by the stars, the two met. And then they took the small hands of eachother and started to walk. The engraved memory and the connected souls of the two girls... The Ataraxia of Light and Darkness.

The order I liked the songs in is definitely 4>5 >6 >2>3. I am a little biased towards liking Yuki songs because I simply adore her voice (oops, sorry not sorry, but Yuki is great!). Melody wise and composition wise it's the best from the album IMO. I love the howls after 断罪ヲ!Also, the wink to the Strega song from the grimoire album ehehehe. I liked that a lot. In my first -LostFairy- days, I desperately searched for this song, always confusing it with Romanesque, because youtube uploaders always just uploaded the picture of the album and I confused songs lol. The 6th song is actually remake of the fourth song from the very first album! I yet have to discover a link between the albums though. Katakiri Rekka, from Closed underground also takes part in this CD!

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.

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...

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

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?

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

 永遠に消えない鎖で 縛り付けて....

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…

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...

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.

Tracklist of Boukoku:

01. 断章 -Mephistopheles- (Danshou -Mephistopheles-)
Story & Compose :Noël
02. ニゲルの肖像 (Nigel no Shouzou)
Lyrics & Compose : Noël Vocal : eupe , 夢姫
03. Diabolic Eye
Lyrics & Compose : Noël Vocal : 夢姫
04. 狂奏シルヴプレ(Kyousou s'il vous plaît)
Lyrics & Compose : Noël Vocal : eupe
05. Erlkönig ~亡国の君主~ (Erlkönig ~ Boukoku no Kunshu~)
Lyrics & Compose :Noël
Vocal : 夢姫

I will translate the titles as following:

01. Literary Fragment -Mephistopheles-
02. Nigel's portrait
03. Diabolic Eye
04. Mad Melody s'il vous plaît
05. Erlkönig ~Ruler of a ruined country~

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!
