Kanji Transcription Compilation (Vengel)

Hereby the kanji transcription of all vocal Vengel songs!

1. Angelology

作編曲、作詞:Paspal
歌:Lalue


I am a fighter machine and an enforcer
who connects the devastated God's country to the human world.
Also fighting enemies with expressionless today,
memories of wings are painful
but cannot be adverse to the program as it is a command.

吹き荒れる 風を纏って
終焉を喚ぶ殺戮の天使
感情もなく 突き立てた剣は
現世と隠世を繋ぐ制裁

白く羽ばたく 機械ノ翼 
運命を導く
奪い 引き剥がした人の罪科を
その背に宿す

覚醒の世界は白群の天空
在り溢れた かつての幸せなど何処にもない
 狂い咲いた反旗を切り刻んで
《制定》された使命
終わらせるから・・・・・・

冴え渡る 刃を振り翳し
薙ぎ払う機械仕掛けの天使
戦果を消され 讃えられなくとも
それが記憶に埋め込まれた宿命

響き輝く機械ノ翼
記憶を解き放つ
罪も無い天使を殺め封じた
悲惨な過去を

残酷な世界は 退廃の虚空 
慟哭に喘ぐを見据え 何を思う
 報われない たった一つの願い
導かれた魂は
巡り逢うから・・・・・・

熱く疼いた 機械ノ翼
その痛みの彼方
揺れた 風変わりな天使の涙
零れた刹那

動き出す世界は 復讐の蒼空
一輪の花握りしめ  襲い掛かる天使
細い刃 その心臓を貫く
一雫の欠陥が 頬を伝った ・・・・・・

Heartlessly slit a single flower the angel was holding.
I won the battle but the wings of the machine gently shriveled.
There was no emotion, but somehow tears run down my cheeks.
Is it a program error?


2. 二人だけの世界

作編曲、作詞:Paspal
歌:Lalue

欠け落ちた脆い家に灰が降る街
がらくたの先に続く薄暗い裏道
透き通る白い肌は人とは違うから
心塞ぎ 目を閉じて いつも泣いていた

だけは解ってくれた
たった一人の友達
優しい眼差しは凍てつく涙を溶かす
いつの日も・・・・・・

在り溢れてる青空さえ
と見れば虹が架かる
輝かしい世界だった

大空に翼広げ どこまでも彼方へ
脳裏に描くだけの夢
星空に変わるまで重ね合う声
の《旋律》

枯れ落ちた赤い花に光が差した
舞い上がる風に乗せた束の間の逃飛行
透き通る白い腕を大空へと伸ばしても
叶うはずのない願い 翼を求めて

だけは微笑みくれた
病床に臥す友達
変わらない笑顔で「渡したいものがある」と
そう呟いた・・・・・・

降り止まない灰の中で
蝕まれたの身体
二人で歩人生だった

最期の力さえ弱く か細い声
花を一輪 渡す手震えて
星空が明けるまで哀哭の雨 
一人 の《悲壮》

・・・・・・忘れはしないよずっと

在り溢れてる青空さえ
と見れば虹が架かる
輝かしい世界だった

虚空に翼広げ どこまでも奈落へ
崩れた未来に別れを告げた
白く輝く鳥へ生まれ変わって
探そう 二人の世界

3. 機械ノ翼

作編曲、作詞:Paspal
歌:Lalue


宙に浮かんだ 無垢な心は
肉体から離れて天使となった
思考さえ邪魔をする 割れる様な声が
やがて頭を灼き尽くした

鎖に繋がれ 籠に囚われて
終わらぬ痛みを重ね
切り裂いて羽を奪った・・・・・・

白い翼は本能で拒む《鮮血》に染まった
《解体》 されて《結合》られて 閃光疾走る
檻の中で瞳に映る 光景は
悲劇さえ冷笑う

 『キミニアイタイナ・・・・・・』

 閉じ込められた かつての天使
どれ位の時間が経ったのだろう
言葉さえ許さない 割れる様な声が
やがて心を灼き尽くした

鎖を解かれた 籠から出されて
曖昧な痛み重ね
引き裂いて夢を奪った・・・・・・

白い翼は狂気が滲んだ 機械の姿
《破壊》されて《創造》られた 兵器の光
「最後にそのを組んで完成さ」
その意味も解らぬまま

『ソラハキレイカナ・・・・・・?』

白いが羽ばたくのは 鳥たちの行く蒼空
《 選別》ばれて《装着》られた 機械の天使
その背に刻む悲しい罪科も知らずに
感情を持たずに ただ花を斬り続けた

4. 風変わりな天使

作編曲、作詞:Paspal
歌:Lalue


縛られることなく どこまでも自由に
大空へ飛び立つ 白い天使
命落とした子は やがて生まれ変わる
楽園で羽ばたく為に

天使の使命は花を集め
子供の命を天空へ繋ぐ
神様のもとへ導き 羽を授ける
いつの日も繰り返した

大きな花も弱い花も 等しく輝ける場所
奇跡とともに 祝福を歌いましょう
今 神様に口づけされた花たちは
幸せ咲いて 優しく笑い合うから
夢のような 苦しみのないこの世界が『楽園』

使命を果たさずに 汚い街の中
風変わりな天使 ふらつく羽
がらくたが続いた薄暗い裏道
脆い家の前に着いた

思い出の花を探し続け
見つけられると きっと会えるから
そう信じ続け 夢中で軌跡を巡る
たった一人の友達

奇麗な虹も星も花も 全てを教えてくれた
だけでいい だけでいい
今 あの花を探して神様のもとへ
また会えるから 少しだけ待っていてね
二人だけの 幸せなその世界こそが 『楽園』

風に乗せて 遠くまで届け の旋律よ

ついに出逢えた赤い花は 変わらないその笑顔で
と重なる 大好きなその笑顔で
凍てついた心を優しく溶かした
溢れる涙 透き通る頬を伝う
震える手でそっと包み 口づけをした 花びら


5. Vengel

作編曲、作詞:Paspal
歌:Lalue


面影を探し求め続けた花は
変わらずに 灰が降る街の中 揺れた
溢れ出す感情で滲む目を開き
咲き誇る 一輪の愛情に口づけを

輝く花びら 情景を見せた
羽を奪われた天使

 崩れ落ちた希望が胸を貫くのは
のいない世界に意味など無いから
滅びゆく心の奥底に燃えた炎が
『神様なんて居ない』と告げた

偽りの楽園を支配する者は
神様の皮を被る人間達で
花束を集めさせ利用して 騙す
気づかずに踊らされた天使が笑い合う

輝く花びら 運命を見せた
機械の天使

やっと見つけたは残酷な姿で
白く光を纏い 羽ばたいた
優しくて温かい かつてのはもう居ない
約束の花 強く握った・・・・・・

崩れ落ちた希望が胸を貫くのは
のいない世界に意味など無いから
滅びゆく心の奥底に燃えた炎が
 風に乗せられ 舞い上がる空

動き出す世界は 復讐の蒼空
 一輪の花 握った天使
心臓 貫かれた
世界 憎みながら
幕を下ろした—―。

Vengel CD translation

Vengel is the last CD I work on in this trilogy. It is actually the second CD in the trilogy, but since I started with Maisery, I saved this one for last. I thought that this CD is my least favourite CD in the trilogy, melody wise, so I saved the least for last.... But in the end I was not disappointed by this CD, it is actually very good.
You can buy the CD here (Paspal's booth)

The cover art is made by Rin Chitose feat REL*:
This cover is beautiful. I like the contrast of black/white with the coloured rose and the ray of light.It also shows a key element of the story, Vengel slicing the flower she once loved in two.



The title of the CD is made out of 2 words: Vengeance + Angel = Vengel. Paspal has stated on their official blog that the story is based on the story "Engelen" by Andersen, which tells the story of an angel who brought deceased children and flowers to god.

You can read the story of engelen in translation by Jean Hersholt here

The story of this CD is about the life of the mechanical angel Vengel. The angel has no emotions and is sent out to bring souls from the current world to afterlife. Yet when she is given a certain job, she fails because her emotions of the past pierce through. She once was a sickly girl, who was bedridden. Her life was brightened by a flower, which she couldn't take with her to afterlife. Once in afterlife, she was not long in heaven, although she had become an angel, she was captured and her wings were cut off. She grew mechanical wings and continued to search for the flower. She finally found the flower and thought of her angelic past self, but then she realised that the past self had become the cruel angel that she now was. She wanted vengeance on god for making her cruel.... Hence she then is an angel who wants vengeance, becoming Vengel.

The order in which the songs take place is 3 - 1 - 2 - booklet text (see under 6) - 4 - 5, I recommend reading it in the normal order though, because you still will need the information from the first song to understand what happens in song 3. The order I liked the songs in is 6>1=2>3>4>5. To determine an order was very hard for me. I found most songs equally enjoyable, but I did clearly have a favourite. That one was the outro. My least favourite song was "Vengel", because the harmonies sounded off key. In general, I think Lalue actually does a decent job when she needs to hit that Ab5, which is pretty high to hit consistently!

Tracklist:

Vocal tracks:
1. Angelology
2. 二人だけの世界 (Futari dake no sekai)
3. 機械ノ翼 (kikai no tsubasa)
4. 風変わりな天使 (fuugawarina tenshi)

7. Angelology (Instrumental)
8. 二人だけの世界 (Instrumental)

I will translate the titles as follows:
2. 二人だけの世界 - The world of us two alone
3. 機械ノ翼 - Mechanical wings
4. 風変わりな天使 - An eccentric angel
6. 楽園 - Paradise

EDIT 20 may 2021:

------------


Furthermore, I have some announcements for my readers!

After this post, I will make a comparison post, in which I will describe my opinion of the 3 CDs and pinpoint some of the relations between the CDs. Furthermore, I will be working on 狂気幻想グリムガルド next! If I have time of course! I'm not sure if I can decipher all the drama lines, but I will write a summary of those stories. Please keep reading my posts <3

絶望の四重奏 (Zetsubou no Quartet) - Quartet of Despair - Romaji and Translation

The last song in the CD! This means my work with Senketsu is done!
This song is about the girl going crazy even more, her body following the unstopping voice of Mary inside her head. The voice of Mary rings like a song, leads her to slice down her guardians and eventually she breaks free from the voice of Mary by dying and ascending to heaven.
This song can be directly connected to the song Maisery, it has the same concept, yet here Vengel doesn't interfere, I think the girl collapses from her poor health and dies. The title of the song also appears in the fourth song of the CD Maisery, which essentially has the same structure with naming "types of musical composition"

I noticed some nice easter eggs in this song. I thought these lyrics were very well thought out:
The first and the last couplet have the same lyrics and melody, making it in essence a real rondo, in the middle a variation is given with a fantasia. I like how they used "Fantasia", since it connects to the desires of the girl. The girl dreams of having a friend and spending happy times, which is her fantasia.


Edit: 28/04/2020: I had a listen to Paspal's own version (remixed in Alisia as Secret Quartet) and it helped me figure out the English lyrics better. The tags have also been added as of 24/12/2022

沈みゆく 静寂をかき消した
止まない声の“輪舞曲”
曖昧に落ちてゆく先で 永久に響いてた
たどりつく世界の 未来さえも
余さずに 何処までも 逃がさないと

shizumiyuku seijaku wo kakikeshita
yamanai koe no "rondo"
aimai ni ochiteyuku saki de towa ni hibiiteta
tadoritsuku sekai no mirai sae mo
amasazu ni doko made mo nigasanai to

A "rondo" of an unstoppable voice, drowned out the submerged silence
Before I start falling into ambiguity, it resounded into eternity
Even without saving the future of the world in which I had arived
I had nowhere to go

闇の中で 疼く衝動抑えても
身体は 快楽を求めてた
鈍く光る刃握り 進む
“老夫婦”が帰った 寝室へ

yami no naka de  uzuku shoudou osaete mo
karada wa kairaku wo motometeta
nibuku hikaru yaiba nigiri susumu
"futari"ga kaetta shinshitsu he

Amidst the darkness, I restrained my throbbing urge
My body was wishing for pleasure
I grasped a dull shining blade and I advanced to the bedroom.
Meanwhile, the "eldery couple (them)" came home


優しい光は 凶器を照らし
“老夫婦”へ振り翳す

yasashii hikari wa  kyouki wo terashi
"futari" e furikazasu

The tender light illuminated the deadly weapon
that I brandished towards the "eldery couple (them)"

柔らかな 安息を引き裂いた
絶望の“四重奏”
驚愕に凍りつく瞳 私を写した
背徳の世界は 贖罪さえ
赦さずに 何時までも追い詰めてた

yawarakana ansoku wo hikisaita
zetsubou no "quartet"
kyougaku ni kooritsuku hitomi watashi wo utsushita
haitoku no sekai wa shokuzai sae
yurusazu ni  itsumade mo oitsumeteta

Disrupting the gentle repose
was the "Quartet of despair"
Their eyes, frozen by astonishment, reflected my form
the immoral world does not allow anything but atonement
Until when would I be cornered?


後悔の中 疼く衝動止められず
頭に鳴り響く 「足りない」 と
“体内”に秘めた赤色の血 気付く
何よりも赤く 美しい

koukai no naka udzuku shoudou tomerarezu
atama ni nari hibiku 「tarinai」to
"uchi" ni himeta sekishoku no chi kidzuku
naniyori mo akaku utsukushii

Amidsts the regret, without stopping my throbbing movements
inside my head  the words「It's not enough!」resound
She noticed the red blood hidden "inside my body"
She loved beautiful red above all else

迫り来る闇に 狂気を捧げ
私へ突き立てる

semarikuru yami ni kyouki wo sasage
watashi e tsukitateru

The madness stabbed me and I devoted myself
to the imminent darkness


張り詰めた 沈黙を切り裂いた
終焉の“幻想曲”
溢れ出す真紅の泉は 絶え間なく流れ
崇高な世界を 満たす辛苦
燃え上がる狂乱に 幕を下ろす

haritsumeta chinmoku wo kirisaita
shuuen no "fantasia"
afuredasu shinku no izumi wa taemanaku nagare
suukou na sekai wo mitasu shinku
moeagaru kyouran ni maku wo orosu

 The "Fantasia" of demise
disrupted the tense silence
A spring of red started to overflow, incessantly flowing
The hardship satisfied the sublime world
Flaming up in fury, I lowered the curtains

“鮮血を求め、両手を真紅に染め、
その甘美なる行為で、私の欲望を満たすがいい”

"Ask for the blood, dye the both hands crimson!
if the sweet act is performed, my desire is filled!"  

"Seek for the blood, let's dye your both hands in crimson!
If that sweet act is performed, it will satisfy my desire" 


巡り廻る“鎮魂歌”
終わらない歌を
歌い続けていた“血塗られた彼女”

meguri mawaru "requiem"
owaranai uta wo
utaitsudzuketeita "Bloody mary"

"The blood covered girl (Bloody Mary)" continued to sing
the "Requiem" that went around and around
A song without an end

解放されたと涙零し 私は天空へ昇る
繋がれた鎖 彼女の笑顔が引き戻し


kaihousareta to namida koboshi watashi wa sora e noboru
tsunagareta kusari kanojo no egao ga hikimodoshi

I was released from the chains that connected us and my tears overflowed, I ascended the sky and I restored her smile

沈みゆく静寂をかき消した
止まない声の“輪舞曲”
曖昧に落ちてゆく先で 永久に響いてた
たどりつく世界の 未来さえも
余さずに 何処までも 逃がさないと

shizumiyuku seijaku wo kakikeshita
yamanai koe no "rondo"
aimai ni ochiteyuku saki de towa ni hibiiteta
tadoritsuku sekai no mirai sae mo
awasazu ni doko made mo nigasanai to

A "rondo" of an unstoppable voice, drowned out the submerged silence
Before I start falling into ambiguity, it resounded into eternity
Even without saving the future of the world in which I had arived
I had nowhere to go

血塗られた彼女の追憶 (Chinurareta kanojo no tsuioku) - The recollection of the blood smeared woman - Romaji and translation

The fourth song! This one was the first I heard from the Senketsu album!
This song is probably indeed from the Mary's point of view, as Meriole indicated. I also tried to translate the song from the point of Mary. So, Mary wanders through this world as a spirit wanting to possess someone, then finally, her call comes! A girl wants to be friends with her... telling her she's like her and wants to spend her days with Mary and give her blood...

さらさら と 輝く長い 髪をなびかせて
ぎらぎら と 光溢れる 道歩いた
ひらひら と スカートの裾 揺らし進む私は
くらくら と 倒れるほどに 夢抱いていた

sarasara to kagayaku nagai kami wo nabikasete
giragira to hikari afureru michi aruita
hirahira to sukaato no suso  yurashi susumu watashi wa
kurakura to taoreru hodo ni yume ni daiteita

Silky, I let my shiny and long hair wave in the wind
Dazzling, I walked down the light-flooded road
Fluttering, I continued to let the hem of my skirt wave in the wind
Dizzy, I embraced my dream to the extent of collapsing

満たされてた世界は 変わらないと 信じていた
赤く染まった 花びらを見つめて
気付かずに 響いていた 汽笛の音
“私”の命 終わりを告げた

mitasareteta sekai wa kawaranai to shinjiteita
akaku somatta hanabira wo mitsumete
kidzukazu ni hibiiteita kiteki no oto
"ko"no inochi owari wo tsugeta

I realised that I couldn't change the world that resulted from my dreams
and I looked at the red dyed flower petals
I became aware of the resounding sound of a steam whistle
And I marked the end of "my (this)" life,


ゆらゆら と 彷徨う命“自死体”見下ろした
きらきら と 撒き散らしてる 赤い雫
ちらちら と 覗いた情緒 美しいと思った
はらはら と こぼれた涙 悲しくは無くて

yurayura to samayou inochi "karada" mioroshita
kirakira to makichirashiteru akai shizuku
chirachira to nozoita joucho utsukushii to omotta
harahara to koboreta namida kanashiku wa nakute

Shaking, I looked down at the wandering "corpse (body)"
Glistening, I started to scatter drops of red
Glancing, I thought that the emotion that peaked through was beautiful
Trickling down, my tears fell, but I wasn't sad

私が消え 世界は 何も変わる事はなくて
一人彷徨い 居場所を求めてた
私の名 呼び出す声 響き渡る
手繰り寄せ 見つけた

 watashi ga kie sekai wa nanimo kawaru koto wa nakute
hitori samayoi ibasho wo motometeta
watashi no na yobidasu koe hibikiwataru
teguriyose mitsuketa

In a world in which I'm vanishing, nothing would change
Alone, I searched for a place where I could belong
A voice that called my name resounded through
I got attracted and found her

呼んでくれた少女の声は 私を導いた
細すぎる その身体に近づき
蝕むように 夢を喰らい尽くした

yondekureta shoujo no koe wa watashi wo michibiita
hososugiru sono karada ni chikadzuki
mushibamu you ni yume wo kuraitsukushita

The voice of the girl who called me, guided me
I came close to her super thin body
I devoted myself to eating her dreams, like gnawing into her body


『似たもの同士 居心地の良い貴女の
その命 尽き果てるまで 私と楽しみましょう?』

『nitamono doushi igokochi no ii anata no
sono inochi tsukihateru made watashi to tanoshimashou?』

『You just look like me! Let's be friends! Do you want to have fun with until my comfortable life ends ?』

二人で求め 二人で過ごした日々は
甘く燃えるような 幻想に変わり 快感に気付く

futari de motome futari de sugoshita hibi wa
amaku moeru you na gensou ni kawari kaikan ni kidzuku

Together they seeked, they spend their days together
they noticed that their feelings were changing into a sweetly burning fantasy


呼んでくれた少女の口は 私の声のまま
巻き込んだ その“死体”に近づき
蝕むように 肉を食い散らかした

yondekureta shoujo no kuchi wa watashi no koe no mama
makikonda sono "karada" ni chikadzuki
mushibamu you ni niku wo kuichirakashita

The (sound from the) mouth of the girl who called me, was like my voice
Coming closer to her "corpse (body)", I got pulled in
I devoted myself to eating her flesh, like gnawing into her body


『似たもの同士 通じ合うこの私と
その命 震えるほどの 興奮を脳裏に刻みましょう?』

『nitamono doushi tsuujiau kono watashi to
sono inochi furueru hodo no koufun wo nouri ni kizamimashou? 』


『You just look like me! Let's sympathise with eachother! Do you want to have fun with until my body starts trembling? Shall we remember our exciting times?』

鮮血の斉唱 (Senketsu no seishou) - Unison of fresh blood - Romaji and Translation

This song is about the girl who is realising what she has done, Mary wasn't a friend, mary was an enemy! She wanted to take advantage of the girl to fulfill her own desire of blood! Mary's voice resounds in her head telling her this:

"Ask for the blood, dye the both hands crimson!
if the sweet act is performed, my desire is filled!" 

 
So the girl goes to church and hopes to seek salvation there at a priest. During the exorcision, Mary breaks through and kills the priest and the girl can't take the madness of the world anymore.

咳を散らす口元 ふらつく足
眩暈 立ちくらんだ世界眺め
身体が求めてた 赤色の雫
 満たされない欲望 抑えた

seki wo chirasu kuchimoto furatsuku ashi
memai tachikuranda sekai nagame
karada ga motometeta sekishoku no shizuku
mitasarenai yokubou osaeta

My mouth scatters coughs and my legs stagger
while dizzy I watch the unmoving world
My body was seeking for drops of red
it was restrained by an unsatisfied desire


こんな はずではなかった
あの夜から とり憑いた 『彼女』
頭の中響く声 渦巻く悪意が蝕んだ

konna hazu de wa nakatta
ano yoru kara toritsuita 『kanojo』
atama no naka hibiku koe uzumaku akui ga mushibanda

This should have never been like this
Since that night 『The bloody girl』had taken over
in my head, a voice resounded and the whirling evil spirit destroyed me

“鮮血を求め、両手を真紅に染め上げろ!
 その甘美なる行為で、私の欲望を満たすがいい!”

"Ask for the blood, dye the both hands crimson!
if the sweet act is performed, my desire is filled!"  

"Seek for the blood, let's dye your both hands in crimson!
If that sweet act is performed, it will satisfy my desire"


—それは 抗う事の出来ない
支配された思考だったから・・・・・・

—sore wa aragau koto no dekinai
 shihaisareta shikou datta kara......

—You cannot deny me
because your thoughts were ruled by me.......


 戸惑うように 雫を舐める私は
 後悔の中 熱い鮮血の味を識った
動かなくなる“小動物”を ただ見つめては
冷めた自己嫌悪を巡らせた

tomadou you ni shizuku wo nameru watashi wa
koukai no naka atsui senketsu no aji wo shitta
ugokanaku naru "sore " wo tada mitsumete wa
sameta jikokeno wo meguraseta

 As if I were bewildered, I licked the drops
Midst my regret, I became aware of the flavour of warm, fresh blood
I could only look at the "small animal (that)" that couldn't move anymore
I became cold, and became surrounded by self-hatred

汚れ散らす口元 赤く染まる
鏡 映りこんだ自分眺め
身体が覚えてた 赤色の果実
鳴り止まない 声は続いてた

yogorechirasu kuchimoto akaku somaru
kagami utsurikonda jibun nagame
karada ga oboeteta sekishoku no kajitsu
nariyamanai koe wa tsudzuiteta

I dyed my filthy mouth in red
I looked at my reflection in the mirror
I remembered my body, it had become a fruit of red
the voice that rang forever continued

苦く 錆びた鉄のように
広がる味 興奮覚えた
この悪夢を祓おうと 招いた神父に手をかける

nigaku sabita tetsu no you ni
hirogaru aji koufun oboeta
kono akumu wo haraou to maneita shinpu ni te wo kakeru

Bitter like rusty iron
the taste filled me, I remembered her excitement
to exorcise this nightmare, I asked a Catholic priest for help


 “鮮血を求め、両手を真紅に染め上げろ!
 その甘美なる行為で、私の欲望を満たすがいい!”

"Ask for the blood, by the both hands, crimson!
 If that sweet act is performed, then my desire is filled!"

"Seek for the blood, let's dye your both hands in crimson!
If that sweet act is performed, it will satisfy my desire"


—祈り 捧げる 光の十字 黒く深い闇が包み込む・・・・・・

— inori sasageru hikari no juuji kuroku fukai yami ga tsutsumikomu ......

— Devoted to prayers, a cross of light wrapped up the deep black darkness......

貪るように 雫を啜る私は
本能のまま 歪む牙を突きたて笑う
冷たくなった“神父”を ただ見下ろして
熱く滲む涙を零した

musaboru you ni shizuku wo susuru watashi wa
honnou no mama igamu kiba wo tsukitate warau
tsumetaku natta "sore" wo tada mioroshite
atsuku nijimu namida wo koboshita

As if I was indulged, I sipped the drops
I pierced him with my fangs, just as how my instinct was, twisted, and I laughed
I could only look down at "the priest (that)" whose body had become cold
I shed warm tears

“鮮血を求め、両手を真紅に染め上げろ!
その甘美なる行為で、私の欲望を満たすがいい!”

"Ask for the blood, dye the both hands crimson!
if the sweet act is performed, my desire is filled!"  

"Seek for the blood, let's dye your both hands in crimson!
If that sweet act is performed, it will satisfy my desire"


—耳を 塞いで慟哭しても
響き渡る 鳴り止まない声

— mimi wo fusaide doukoku shite mo
hibiki wataru nariyamanai koe

— I covered my ears and lamented
 yet the unstoppable voice rang through

 狂いそうな世界で叫ぶ私は
背徳の中 罪悪感 もう戻らない
凍り付いた願いに 別れを告げて
赤く染まる涙を流した

kuruisou na sekai de sakebu watashi wa
haitoku no naka zaiakukan mou tomaranai
kooritsuita negai ni wakare wo tsugete
akaku somaru namida wo nagashita

I screamt in the world that has gone mad
Amidst the immorality, I had feelings of guilt, but I couldn't turn back anymore
I announced farewell to my desire that had gone cold
And I shed tears dyed in red

幸せな私の追憶 (shiawase na watashi no tsuioku) - Reminiscence of my Happy Times - Romaji and translation

The second song is called "Reminiscence of my Happy Times". This song can be connected to the second song in Maisery, which is called "Deep Red Reminiscence" which describes the memories of the bloody queen. At the beginning I kind of disliked the song, but after working on the translation, it really grew on me. In this song the past of the girl is described. She was abandoned because of sickness and nobody had interest in her. One day an eldery couple adopted her and she lived with them happily. One day they gave her a mirror and she was incredibly happy. Yet, the loneliness in her spread again when the couple went on a trip, she then performed the ritual of summoning.... as described in song 1 of this cd. Mary comes out of the mirror and promises to be her friend, on one condition, she must give her blood (not neccesarily hers as you will see in song 3 and 4.....).

やせ細る身体を震わせても、誰も興味を抱かないと
幼く捨てられた私だけど、そんな事もう知ってたから
優しく手を伸ばす“老夫婦”に出会えてから、今までの世界が弾けて消えた

I was abandoned at young age.  I became so thin that my body trembled, nobody had interest in hugging me, I knew it from the very start. Only because of an "eldery couple (them)" that I met, stretched out their hand to me with kindness. The world up until then burst open and disappeared.
They gave me a place to belong, their laugh was as bright as light

“老夫婦”の話す旅の土産話に心躍らせて笑う

"futari" no hanasu tabi no miyakebanashi ni kokoro odorasete warau

The "couple (them)" told tales about their travels, which sent my heart aflutter and I laughed


その日は 「それだけじゃないよ」 と、大きな鏡
渡された“贈り物”にはしゃぎ、咳き込んだ私を
心配そうに見つめて 「古い物だけど、気に入ったなら良かった」 と笑っていた

watasareta "present" ni hashagi, sekikonda watashi wo
shinpaisou ni mitsumete「furui mono dakedo, kiniita nara yokatta」to waratteita 

That day they said「this is not everything」and handed me with a mirror
I was so happy with the present that I suddenly started coughing violently
They looked at me with a sorrowful look, but then they replied while smiling「Even though it is old, we are happy that you like it」

“老夫婦”は旅に出掛け、一人きり 寂しさを紛らわせる日々
心ざわついてた私だけど、鏡の前なら落ち着いた
透明な世界を写す鏡の中は、もう一人の私が笑いかけた
表裏一体の私の姿、何よりも美しかった・・・・・・

"The eldery couple (them)" went on a trip, and I was alone again, my days were absorbed in loneliness.
My heart became noisy and I could only calm down in front of the mirror
The transparent world that was reflected inside mirror.... in there was another me that grinned
The image in the mirror that was inseperable from my own existence was more beautiful than anything.......

I thought about an old picture book, inside there was a "story (letter)" , and I called......


割れた鏡の向こう側に、血塗れた 『彼女』
現れたその姿見つめて、優しく微笑んだ
「やっと呼び出してくれた」 と冷たく笑う
驚いた心の隙間にとり憑いた・・・・・・

The mirror shattered and on the other side there was, a 『girl』covered in blood
I looked at the figure that just appeared, and I smiled gently
 「Finally you called out for me」she laughed coldly
And she made her way into my astonished heart via a crevice and took over...

赤く熱い鮮血に魅入られた 『彼女』
遊ぶ友達が欲しい私

『She』who made an entrance and was obsessed by the red and warm fresh blood
And I, who wanted friends to play with


『さぁ これからは二人で、命尽きるまで 最高の“血祭り”を楽しみましょう?』
『saa kore kara wa futari de, inochi tsukiru made saikou no "party" wo tanoshimimashou?』
『Come, from now until your body wears out, shall we enjoy the best "bloodbath" together? 』

furui ehon ni kakareta "épistole" omoi wo hasete ima yonda ......
I thought about an old picture book, inside there was a "story (letter)" , and I called......

I couldn't understand exactly what Yura sings, but it kinda sounded like "épistole"

黒鏡の呪い (Kokkyou no noroi) - The curse of the black mirror - Romaji and Translation

This song is about a girl with poor health, the first paragraph describes how she was living and how she heard the rumour of bloody mary... wanting to have a friend she calls the name thrice and then Mary appears.... and takes over her body!

As Meriole says in her blog, there are three stanza in the song, spread over the three choruses.

呼んだ少女の名は 一度の”好奇心”
The first time, I call the name of the girl out of "curiosity"

招く少女の名は 二度の”寂寥感”
The second time I summon with the name of the girl out of "loneliness"

もう 引き返せない三度目の”呪縛”
The third time, is an inevitable "curse" 


Translation:

I who had poor heath was living
in a room of a certain time-worn mansion.
One day I heard a rumor from outside the window.
The rumor was that by saying the name
of a certain girl three times before a mirror at midnight,
that girl will appear. So I muttered . . . . . .

(Bloody mary (x3))

The blood covered girl who appeared there smiled coldly at me
and pounced at me. My resistance was to no avail
and the girl took over me and attemps to fulfill her
only desire of "wanting to see beautiful blood".
The forbidden words that I muttered thrice transform
themselves into a tale of regret.

暗く 閉ざしていた 扉を開かせて
弱い記憶の中頼りに 呼び覚ます
日が落ちた空 月明かり飲み込む
古い鏡の中 想い馳せて

kuraku tozashiteita tobira wo hirakasete
yowai kioku no naka tayori ni yobisamasu
hi ga ochita sora tsukiakari nomikomu
furui kagami no naka omoi hasete

I opened a door with darkness behind
relying on my weak memory, I awaken
In the sky the sun goes down and is swallowed by the moonlight
Inside an old mirror, my thoughts come running!

銀色の鏡面に 写った身体見て
吸い込まれた思い 響き合った
不確かな言い伝えは 心に光を灯す

giniro no kyoumen ni utsutta karada mite
suikomareta omoi hibikiatta
futashikana iitsutae wa kokoro ni hikari wo tomosu

Looking at my body, reflected in the silver mirror surface
My thoughts were absorbed and reverberated
an uncertain tradition lighted the light inside my heart

呼んだ少女の名は 一度の ‘‘好奇心”
怖い物見たさ 半信半疑 故に狂おしい
満たされぬ 衝動 埋めてくれるのなら
たとえ‘‘幽霊”でもいい

yonda shoujo no na wa hitotabi no "curiosity"
kowai mono mita sa hanshinhangi yue ni kuruoshii
mitasarenu shoudou umetekureru no nara 
tatoe "ghost" demo ii

The first time, I call the name of the girl out of "curiosity"
having seen scary things, half in doubt, consequently I find myself on the verge of insanity
Even if I don't gratify or even if I become buried,
even if it's a "evil spirit (ghost)", I'm still fine with it.

期待を込めて呼び出す 最初の名前を
暗闇の鏡へと

kitai wo komete yobidasu saisho no namae wo
kurayami no kagami e to

I call out the name, for the first time, filled with expectation
towards the dark mirror

赤く 綺麗な血は 心を魅了して
弱い身体動かせて ひたすら求め
孤独な部屋に 閉じ込めた心は
鍵をかけた 扉のように重く

akaku kirei na chi wa kokoro wo miryou shite
yowai karada ugokasete hitasura motome
kodoku na heya ni tojikometa kokoro wa
kagi wo kaketa tobira no you ni omoku

Beautiful red blood fascinates my mind
I earnestly request to have the ability to move my body
My heart was locked in  an isolated room
It was locked and heavy as a gate

反射する鏡面は 全てを拒絶して
真逆の世界から 写し合った
黒いドレスを揺らせて 祈るように呟いた

hansha suru kyoumen wa subete wo kyozetsu shite
magyaku no sekai kara utsushiatta
kuroi doresu wo yurasete inoru you ni tsubuyaita

The reflecting mirror surface rejected everything
It imitated me, from an opposite world
A black dress wavered,  like how I muttered prayers

招く少女の名は 二度の “寂寥感”
寂しくて耐えられない心 故に求めていた
満たされぬ願望 叶えてくれるなら
たとえ“悪霊”でもいい

maneku shoujo no na wa   futatabi no "loneliness"
sabishikute taerarenai kokoro yue ni motometeita
mitasarenu ganbou kanaetekureru nara
tatoe "ghost" de mo ii

The second time I summon with the name of the girl out of "a feeling of loneliness" 
 my heart couldn't bear being lonely, consequently,  I wished for a friend
Even if it does not fulfill my desire, or if it grants my wish
even if it is a ghost, I am still fine with it.

願いを込めて呼び出す 二度目の名前を
黒銀の鏡へと

negai wo komete yobidasu nidome no namae wo
kokugin no kagami e to

I call out the name the second time, filled with my wish
towards the dark mirror

白く痩せた身体 『血塗られた少女』 を呼ぶ
もう 引き返せない三度目の“呪縛”

shiroku yaseta karada 『chinurareta shoujo』 wo yobu
mou hikikaesenai sandome no "curse"

With my white and thin body, I call out to the 『Blood smeared girl』
this third time, is an inevitable "curse" 


割れて写る二人は ひとつになり
満たされた心は 後悔へと

warete utsuru futari wa hitotsu ni nari
mitasareta kokoro wa koukai e to

Breaking out from the projection, the girl in the mirror and I become one
My heart became filled with regret

translation notes
満たされぬ 衝動 埋めてくれるのなら
This is a hard to translate stanza due to the -nu stem of the verb and it is not clear whose gratification it is.
