We have arrived at the 3rd song of the album! So, this song has been remastered in the 9th -LostFairy- Fantasy, where it's sung by Yuki. If I recall correctly, the lyrics have been changed. I therefore do not tag Yuki and the 冥府へ誘う灰のネクロフェスタ (Necrofesta) album yet. Ergo memento mori is Latin for "Remember you [have to] die", this is pretty much in line with the title of the song. A testament is the will you leave behind when you die.
This song is pretty vague. It basically tells us the story about devout believers (zealots) who know nothing of impurity (or death). After a while they start having doubts about their belief and are converted by a dark force, which tells them to fear it (the dark force). God might show them a holy and correct path but... there is another dark truth... People die in this world, which they are apparently unaware of. As they have been following the holy disciplines, they are taught nothing about death or greed. This greed and mortality links to the story of Adam and Eve in the bible. Just because Eve ate an apple (forbidden fruit that the humans crave for (see translation)), humans became sinners and thus mortals.
Composition wise this song is pretty nice. The sounds are a little too muffled sometimes though. That is definitely fixed on the 9th fantasia. If you wonder why the melody is familiar, you might have heard the original pieces classical music, as they are very popular pieces. The beginning is based on the Toccata and Fugue in d minor by Bach, a little bit of Moonlight Sonata 1st movement by Beethoven can be heard in the middle as well.
暗き聖堂に響く 古の賛美歌
kuraki seidou ni hibiku inishie no sanbika
Inside a dark cathedral, an ancient hymn echoes
穢れの無い戒律にすがり 生きる事に抱く疑念
歪な禁断の真実支配される・・・
kegare no nai kairitsu ni sugari ikiru koto idaku ginen
ibitsuna kindan no shinjitsu shihaisareru...
Those who harbour doubt about living while clinging to the pure disciplines,
Become overruled by the distorted forbidden truth...
- 畏れよ、我を -
神は慈悲深く
聖なる道を示すけれど
「白」の戒めを「黒」が蝕み
滅びの歯車が廻る
Ergo memento mori…
- osore yo, ware wo -
kami wa jihibukaku
seinaru michi wo shimesu keredo
"shiro" no imashime wo "kuro" ga mushibami
horobi no haguruma ga mawaru
Ergo memento mori
- Fear me -
God is full of mercy
He will show you the sacred path
"Darkness(black)" gnaws at the forbidden side of "Holiness(white)"
The gears of destruction start to turn
'Remember you have to die'
闇夜に集う 狂信者の祈りが
冷たい死の香りを 此処に呼び寄せる
隔たれし信仰の中で 求める自由
yamiyo ni tsudou kyoushinsha no inori ga
tsumetai shi no kaori wo koko ni yobiyoseru
hedatareshi shinkou no naka de motomeru jiyuu
The prayers of the zealots assemble in the dark night,
summoned by the smell of cold death
They seek for freedom inside their drifting belief
暗き聖堂に響く 古の賛美歌
kuraki seidou ni hibiku inishie no sanbika
Inside a dark cathedral, an ancient hymn echoes
- 畏れよ、我を -
人間は欲深く
甘い果実を貪り合う
「白」の戒めを「黒」が蝕み
滅びの歯車が廻る
Ergo memento mori…
- osore yo, ware wo -
ningen wa yokubukaku
amai kajitsu wo musaboriau
"shiro" no imashime wo "kuro" ga mushibami

Ergo memento mori...
- Fear me -
People are full of greed
They crave for the sweet fruit
"Darkness(black)" gnaws at the forbidden side of "Holiness(white)"
The gears of destruction start to turn
'Remember you have to die...'
闇夜に集う 狂信者の祈りが
冷たい死に魅せられ 飲み込まれてゆく
隔たれし信仰の先に 見えた絶望
yamiyo ni tsudou kyoushinsha no inori ga
tsumetai shi ni miserare nomikomareteyuku
hedatareshi shinkou no saki ni mieta zetsubou
The prayers of the zealots assemble in the dark night,
Enchanted by cold death, they are swallowed up
By the despair beyond their drifting belief
暗き聖堂に響く 古の賛美歌
kuraki seidou ni hibiku inishie no sanbika
Inside a dark cathedral, an ancient hymn echoes
Translation notes:
- This is a pretty vague song, it pretty much is a song inside a song.
- 「白」の戒めを「黒」が蝕み
I immediately assumed white connects to purity and black to impurity, hence I immediately translated them as "holiness" and "darkness"

トゥルバドールの見た風 (Troubadour no Mita Kaze) - The wind seen by a troubadour - Romaji and Translation
Hello 100th post! So this is the second song of the Aethyr album. It's about a troubadour (a wandering kind of minstrel) who wanders the world searching for the place they have seen in their dreams. The song is pretty straightforward! The composition reminds me of the last song of the Nostalgia album. It's gentle, yet nostalgic, yet has a slight symphonic vibe to it. Ria's voice reminds me of Hato's, it sounds very similar! It seems most of the Lostfairy singers have the same timbre to their voice :).
静かな記憶の中 この道は終わりなく続くの?
優しい風に乗せて 思いを重ねる
Shizukana kioku no naka kono michi wa owarinaku tsudzuku no?
yasashii kaze ni nosete omoi wo kasaneru
Inside my silent memory, does the this road ever end?
My memory stacks up, riding on a gentle breeze
光と風の中で
白い鳥が 翼広げ羽ばたき天空を仰ぐ
hikari to kaze no naka de
shiroi tori ga tsubasa hiroge habataki sora wo aogu
Amidst the light and the wind
A white bird spreads out its wings and and looks at the sky as it takes off
追い風に導かれ流れゆく
孤独な穢れのない調べ
辿り着く場所もわからずに ゆらゆらと
鳥たちが描いた風の行方 探しながら歌うよ
この胸に秘めた願い叶えるまで
oikaze ni michibikare nagareyuku
kodoku na kegare no nai shirabe
tadoritsuku basho mo wakarazu ni yurayura to
toritachi ga egaita kaze no yukue sagashinagara utau yo
kono mune ni himeta negai kanaeru made
Guided by a tailwind,
a lonely, pure melody drifts
without knowing the place where it goes next, it wavers
I sing along as I search for the whereabouts of the winds that the birds have painted
Until the wish I hide inside my chest will come true
きっと・・・
kitto..
surely...
何度も繰り返して 思いを重ねる
nando mo kurikaeshite omoi wo kasaneru
I repeatedly stack up my feelings, over and over
光と風を越えて
響く声が 夢と共に至純の天空へ向かう
hikari to kaze wo koete
hibiku koe ga yume to tomo ni shijun no sora e mukau
Beyond the light and the wind
my voice reverberates together with my dreams, and they head for the sky of purity
この鮮やかに彩られた記憶のかけら
遥かなる天空に届け
kono azayaka ni irodorareta kioku no kakera
harukanaru sora ni todoke
The fragments of my memories have been dyed colourfully
and reach the distant sky
追い風に委ねた清き調べ
何処まで遠く行けたのだろう
あてのない迷い仔のように ゆらゆらと
夢に見てた場所に出会えること 祈りながら歌うよ
その日まで一人 永遠の風を見てる
oikaze ni yudaneta kiyoki shirabe
doko made tooku yuketa no darou
ate no nai mayoigo no you ni yurayura to
yume ni miteta basho ni deaeru koto inorinagara utau yo
sono hi made hitori eien no kaze wo miteru
Devoted to a tailwind,
a clear melody drifts,
How far will it be able to go?
Like an aimless stray young bird, it wavers
I sing along as I pray for reaching the place that I have seen in my dreams
Until that day, I will look at the eternal wind, all alone
ずっと・・・
zutto...
Forever...
Translation notes:
- 追い風に委ねた清き調べ
何処まで遠く行けたのだろう, I have added "drifts" to the translation this, to make the english flow better.
- 迷い仔, literally "Lost stray animal". As the song mentions birds, I made it a "young stray bird", as the troubadour is compared to a wandering bird and tries to follow the trails of the birds.

彷徨える忘却のアエティール (Samayoeru Boukyaku no Aethyr) - CD Translation
Hello, my name is LuckyAurora and I'm actually a graduate school vampire who tirelessly works on transcriptions. I have way too many hobbies and a month only has 28-31 days. Jokes aside, I want to put out this for y'all. I dug through a lot of places to come by a copy of the first -LostFairy- Album.
I'm not disappointed. This is a pretty decent CD. It spans way back to 2012 and is branded ARS-001! the very first ArsMagna CD ever. Oh yea, it's antique.
The cover looks like this (Picture has been grabbed from the magicinternet)
I need to admit, when I searched for 彷徨える忘却のアエティール, I came past the flying dutchman(彷徨えるオランダ人) a lot... not sure if it's because where I am located.... I think this CD is actually related to the Ataraxia CD, this might be set in the ancient land where the first girl with the blessing of the stars/moon was living.
The art is done by Chitose Rin and I actually doubt if the crossfade is still public.The songs are sung by Ria (莉愛). I tried to do some research on her too but no Lucky. Lyrics and Composition are of course by our great Demon King, Noël. Some of the harmonies are sung by Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka.
Like the 2nd and 3rd CD, there is no story that introduces the CD.
The tracklist is as follows:
1. Romanesque ~光と闇に帰依する幻想~ (Romanesque ~Hikari to Yami ni Kieru Gensou~)
2. トゥルバドールの見た風 (Troubadour no mita kaze)
3. Testament
4. 悠久のFairyTale (Yuukyuu no FairyTale)
Titles are translated as
1. Romanesque ~Fantasy devoted to Light and Darkness~
2. The wind seen by a troubadour
4. Eternal Fairy Tale
The first song was Rehashed in Ataraxia, no new translation will be put out.
I found a nice review by a japanese listener:
http://mmpk584.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-2948.html
I think I agree with their "satisfied %", Only having discovered LostFairy around 2017, I was blessed with the later albums already.

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"
"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.

Venus Blood - Romaji and Translation
"最後の吸血鬼が美しい「鮮血」に染まる宵闇を見せてあげる"
"As the last vampire, I shall show you dusk dyed in beautiful 'Fresh blood'" - Carmilla
This song is about Carmilla, how she is right now. She has been taken over by madness and intents to bite/kill Luna and Stella. This song connects to the song Noble Blood from the Transylvania album.
Venus is the Roman Goddess of beauty. The connection between Carmilla and Venus is made because Carmilla looks alluringly beautiful like a goddess. As usually I don't give a kanji transcription of the spoken parts, as there is none, I need to figure it out myself, based on context of the song.
Composition wise I think this song is very good, the heavy drums are awesome, Yuki hits that G5 so beautifully in the chorus. The excellent accompaniment with Shirasu's violin, ahh this work just screams "Noël good job😄".
Translation:
宵闇の支配者が 瞳を光らせて 甘く香る鮮血を求め
妖艶な美しさに隠された 生を奪う鋭い牙
yoiyami no shihaisha ga hitomi wo hikaresete amaku kaoru senketsu wo motome
youen na utsukushisa ni kakusareta sei wo ubau surudoi kiba
The ruler of dusk, her eyes gleam with light as she seeks the sweet scent of fresh blood.
Sharp fangs, capable of stealing away lives, hidden in a bewitching beauty
宵闇の支配者が 瞳を光らせて 甘く香る鮮血を求め
飢えた獣の衝動に抗えず 心は灰となる
yoiyami no shihaisha ga hitomi wo hikaresete amaku kaoru senketsu wo motome
ueta kemono no shoudou ni aragaezu kokoro wa hai to naru
The ruler of dusk, her eyes gleam with light as she seeks the sweet scent of fresh blood.
Unable to control the urges of a bloodthirsty beast, the heart becomes ashes
宵闇の世界を彷徨う 気高き女神
冷たい風に吹かれ 狂い咲く薔薇のよう
kurayami no sekai wo samayou kedakaki megami
tsumetai kaze ni fukare kuruui saku bara no you
Roaming the world of dusk is a noble goddess
Like a madly blooming rose, blown forth by a cold wind
永遠を刻み続ける呪縛は 深い闇と共に
変わらぬ姿に宿る鮮血が 優しさを屠る
終焉の幕開け...
towa wo kizami tsudzukeru jubaku wa fukai yami to tomo ni
kawaranu sugata ni yadoru senketsu ga yasashisa wo hofuru
shuuen no makuake...
A curse that continues to tick away eternity, along with a deep darkness
Bearing an unchanging figure, the fresh blood butchers her kindness
The beginning of her demise…
(SPOKEN) kore wa chi no shoudou
nodo wa kawaku kono noroi kara wa mou...
fufufu... yoiyami no subete wo aka to kuro de?
(SPOKEN) This is the impulse of blood...
My throat is dry... (You cannot escape) from this curse anymore...
fufufu... (Shall I dye) everything of the dusk in red and black?
孤独の中で目覚める 気高き女神
冷たい風に吹かれ 狂い咲く薔薇のように
kodoku no naka de mezameru kedakaki megami
tsumetai kaze ni fukare kuruui saku bara no you
Waking up in the middle of loneliness, is the noble goddess
Like a madly blooming rose, blown forth by a cold wind
永遠を刻み続ける呪縛は 深い闇と共に
変わらぬ姿に宿る鮮血が 懐かしい記憶さえも...
towa wo kizami tsutsukeru jubaku wa fukai yami to tomo ni
kawaranu sugata ni yadoru senketsu ga natsukashii kioku sae mo...
A curse that continues to tick away eternity, along with a deep darkness
Bearing an unchanging figure, if only it the fresh blood would awaken her nostalgic memories…
「悠久」は 宵闇に沈み
交わる 深紅と漆黒の「幻想」
「yuukyuu」 wa yoiyami ni shizumi
majiwaru aka to kuro no 「gensou」
“Eternity” sinks into dusk
Blood(crimson) and darkness(jet black) entertwine into a “Fantasy”
嗚呼... 滅びの運命
ah... horobi no sadame
Ah… the fate of destruction.
Translation notes:
- I am pretty sure 深紅 (crimson) refers to blood and 漆黒 (jet black) to darkness/dusk.
- Spoken part has some ellipses, I put in (brackets) what I think the context means, as the sentences seem to be relying on filling in from context.
- I tried to add some alliterations: Deep Darkness, She Seeks the Sweet Scent etc to make the elegance of Carmilla a little bit more prominent/stylish.
