【初音ミクDark】before light | English translation + romaji lyrics

Lots of talk of cryin' in this one.


溢れた言葉はキミの胸に刺さって
開いた傷から赤黒く広がった
キミの目から今まで見たことない
涙が溢れて 私は立ち尽くしていたんだ

afureta kotoba wa kimi no mune ni sasatte
hiraita kizu kara akaguroku hirogatta
kimi no me kara imademo mita koto nai
namida ga afurete watashi wa tachitsukushiteitanda

Overflowed words stick to your chest
From the wounds that opened up, it spread out dark red
Until now, it hadn't ever been seen from your eyes
The tears overflowed and I just stood stock still


知らないうちに傷だらけになってた
キミのココロが割れる音が聞こえた
気付かないまま 私は笑っていたの
キミのすべてを 解ったつもりだったの

shiranai uchi ni kizu darake ni natteta
kimi no kokoro ga wareru oto ga kikoeta
kidzukanai mama watashi wa waratteita no
kimi no subete wo wakatta tsumori datta no

Before I knew it, all you became was hurt
and I heard the sound of your heart breaking
Still not noticing, I just laughed
I should have understood everything about you


今一人でまた思い出すよ
ただ震えたキミのあの声を

ima hitori de mata omoidasu yo
tada furueta kimi no ano koe wo

Right now, by myself I remember again
That voice of yours that simply trembled


零れ落ちたキミの涙が 私をここで縛り付けているの
どうして見上げた空は錆付いたまま 星も見えないよ

koboreochita kimi no namida ga watashi wo kokode shibari tsuketeiru no
doushite miageta sora wa sabitsuita mama, hoshi mo mienai yo

Your tears that spilled over and fell are tying me here
Why is the sky that I look up to so rusted together? I can't even see the stars


逃げ出したくて 遠い世界へ
キレイな二人閉じ込めたまま
失くした世界で 狂いそうになった
夜を隠した 雲が千切れていくわ
あの日のように

nigedashitakute, tooi sekai he
kirei na futari tojikometa mama
nakushita sekai de kuruisou ni natta
yoru wo kakushita kumo ga chigirete yuku wa
ano hi no you ni

I want to run away to a far-away world
As it is, us two, so beautiful, are locked up
In the world that I lost, I'm about to go mad
I hid the night away, and the clouds are being torn to pieces
Just like that day


ほら疼いて
また泣いていたの
ただ痛いほど綺麗な空があった
頬の痕を撫でて

hora uzuite
mata naiteita no
tada itai hodo kirei na sora ga atta
hoo no ato wo nadete

Look, it aches
I've been crying again
There was such a pretty sky that it just hurt
Stroke the scars on my cheek


降り注いだ星の数だけ 私は今も恋を重ねるの
どれだけもがいてみても 何も無いこと分かっていたのに
また瞼の奥に映った キミの涙は胸を抉るけど
どうして… キミの笑顔もあれからずっと思い出せないの

furisosoida hoshi no kazu dake watashi wa ima mo koi wo kasaneru no
doredake mogaitemite mo nanimo nai koto wakatteita no ni
mata mabuta no oku ni utsutta kimi no namida wa mune wo eguru kedo
doushite... kimi no egao mo are kara zutto omoidasenai no

Just the number of stars that poured down, even now I'm piling up and adding love
No matter how much I struggle, although all I understood was nothing,
Reflected inside (your) eyes again, though your tears gouge out your chest
Why can't I remember your smile for so long since then?


きらりきらり ゆらゆらゆらと 
溶けていくわ 燃えそうな空に
流れ落ちて さらさらさらと
私はずっと泣いてた
ららら…

kirari kirari yura yura yura to 
toketeyuku wa moesou na sora ni
nagareochite sara sara sara to
watashi wa zutto naiteta
ra ra ra...

With a flash of light, flash of light, slowly swaying, swaying, swaying,
It melts away into the burning sky
Flowing down, silkily, silkily
All this time I've been crying
la la la...

MAGIC α | English translation + romaji lyrics

I listened to this song on the way home during a roadtrip and I fell in love with it.


赤色スイッチを押して ふわりビジョンは宙へ
いつものアドレス打ち込んで ホログラム点けるよ
あなたは浮かない顔して ゲームに逃避行
今すぐ行くからと サイン残して飛び出した

akairo suicchi wo oshite, fuwari bijon wa chuu he
itsumo no adoresu uchikonde, horoguramu tsukeru yo
anata wa ukanai kao shite, geemu ni touhikou
ima sugu iku kara to sain nokoshite tobidashita

Pressing a red switch, a vision softly floats into midair
Throwing it into my usual address, I light up the hologram
Your face looks so depressed, escaping into your game
Since I'm going right now, I left behind my signature and started to fly away


まわるまわる船の軌道を計算できたら
向かいの星の裏側まで

mawaru mawaru fune no kidou wo keisan dekitara
mukai no hoshi no uragawa made

If I could calculate the trajectory of this spinning, turning boat
as far as the other side of the stars


「心の声が聞こえたなら・・」 それは未来(いま)でもまだ叶わなくて
ほんとはまだ分からない 君のこと 僕のこと
記号の海じゃ足りないから 目と目あわせ繋いで触れれば伝わる
君を笑わせる僕だけが出来る マジックで

"kokoro no koe ga kikoeta nara" sore wa ima (mirai) demo mada kanawanakute
honto wa mada wakaranai, kimi no koto, boku no koto
kigou no umi ja tarinai kara me to me awasetsunaide furereba tsutawaru
kimi wo warawaseru boku dake ga dekiru majikku de

"If only I could hear the voice of your heart..." even now, that still won't come true
The truth is, I really don't know about you, about me
Since a sea of codes is still not enough, if your eyes face mine and connect, it will be transmitted
with the magic that only I can use to make you laugh


急ごう 小惑星横目にアクセル踏み込んだ
ツイてない こんなときに限ってゲートで渋滞なんて!

isogou, shouwakusei yokome ni akuseru fumikonda
tsuitenai konna toki ni kagitte geeto de juutai nante!

Hurry up, I stepped on the accelerator at the glance of an asteroid
When things aren't going well, I'm confined at the gate in congested traffic!


やっと着いた僕は急いでチャイム鳴らす
恥ずかしそうに君が扉開けた

yatto tsuita boku wa isoide chaimu narasu
hazukashisou ni kimi ga tobira aketa

Finally, having just arrived, I quickly rush to sound the chime*
And looking embarrassed, you opened up the door


僕らはどこへ行くのだろう 世界という世界、手に入れても
ほんとはもっと単純なんだ 喜びも 悲しみも
ジャンクの海の片隅から 僕だけの宝物 見つけ出したなら
世界は静かに色変える ココロの魔法で

bokura wa doko he yuku no darou, sekai to iu sekai, te ni iretemo
honto wa motto tanjun nanda, yorokobi mo, kanashimi mo
janku no umi no katasumi kara boku dake no takaramono mitsukedashita nara
sekai wa shizuka ni iro kaeru, kokoro no mahou de

I wonder where we'll go? Even if I have a world called the world in my hands,
To be honest, it's more simple, even joy and even sorrow
If I find my treasure from the corners of a sea of junk
then the world will quietly change colors from the magic in my heart


「心の声が聞こえたなら・・」 それは未来(いま)でもまだ叶わなくて
ほんとはまだ分からない 君のこと 僕のこと
記号の海じゃ足りないから 目と目あわせ繋いで触れれば伝わる
君を笑わせる僕だけが出来る マジックで

"kokoro no koe ga kikoeta nara..." sore wa ima demo mada kanawanakute
honto wa mada wakaranai, kimi no koto, boku no koto
kigou no umi ja tarinai kara me to me awasetsunaide furereba tsutawaru
kimi wo warawaseru boku dake ga dekiru majikku de

"If only I could hear the voice of your heart..." even now, that still won't come true
The truth is, I really don't know about you, about me
Since a sea of codes is still not enough, if your eyes face mine and connect, it will be transmitted
with the magic that only I can use to make you laugh

サーカスナイト Circus Night English translation + romaji lyrics

I actually like Aoba's cover better even though I like both versions (笑)





Oh baby 今夜のキスで 一生分のこと 変えてしまいたいよ
ここは 楽園じゃない だけど 描ける限りの 夢の中
目の前で 魔法が解けてゆく 焦る気持ちだけが 言葉つなげ
君を抱きしめるたびに 綱の上で揺れる Circus Night

oh baby konya no kisu de isshoubun no koto kaeteshimaitai yo

kimi wo dakishimeru tabi ni tsuna no ue de yureru circus night

Oh baby, with tonight's kiss, I want it to change my lifetime
This place isn't paradise, but the limits to which I can paint is the inside of a dream
In front of my eyes, the magic is being broken, and these flustered feelings tie up words
Every time I hold you, I'm swaying on top of a rope, circus night


Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 辿り着きたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ Baby 今夜だけ Baby
Tight rope dancing Baby 今夜だけ 生き延びたい ピエロ
Oh baby 魔法が解けてゆく

Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to get there
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, baby, only tonight, baby
Tight rope dancing, baby, only tonight, I'm a clown that wants to live long
Oh baby, the magic's being broken


宵闇が 僕らを包んで 天幕の中みたい
僕は冴えないピエロであなたはFearless Girl Circus Night
どんなにそれが絵空事でも 飛ぶしかない夜
君がほしい 口づけてしまいたい 幕があがる Circus Night

yoiyami ga bokura wo tsutsunde tento no naka mitai

donna ni sore ga esoragoto demo tobu shikanai yoru
kimi ga hoshii kuchi dzukete shimaitai maku ga aru circus night

The twilight wraps us up like we're inside of a tent
I'm a clown who's really unclear, and you're a fearless girl, circus night
No matter how much of a fabrication it is, I have no choice but to fly in the night
I want you, I want to kiss you, and the curtain rises, circus night


Oh baby 今夜のキスで 一生分のこと 変えてしまいたいよ
ここは 楽園じゃない だけど 描ける限りの 夢の中
目の前で 魔法が解けてゆく 焦る気持ちだけが 言葉つなげ
君を抱きしめるたびに 綱の上で揺れる Circus Night

北園みなみ - カザミドリ Weather Vane English translation + romaji lyrics

This is such a relaxing and lovely song to listen to. I loved the lyrics so I just had to translate them!!

You can find the website/link to purchase this song here.

旋律は美しいし、リラックスさせたから訳したいと思ったので訳してみたのですね。間違いを見つけたら教えてください



風見鶏が北を向いた
セピアの空に生ぬるい風が 歌を歌っている

kazamidori ga kita wo muita
sepia no sora ni namanurui kaze ga uta wo utatteiru

the weather vane turned to face the north
the lukewarm wind in the sepia sky sings a song


扉を開けてコートを脱ぐ
クリームの壁
青白い写真
いつかの夜明けね

tobira wo akete kooto wo nugu
kuriimu no kabe
aojiroi shashin
itsuka no yoake ne

I open up the door and take off my coat
the cream walls
the bluish-white photographs
the dawn of some day


通り過ぎるひとりひとりは
自分だけの言葉を見つけようと夢を見ている

toorisugiru hitori hitori wa
jibun dake no kotoba wo mitsukeyou to yume wo miteru

passing through one by one,
I'm dreaming that I'm trying to find only my words


雨空には聞こえないさ
昔の話夜に聞かせて
紅茶をいれよう

amazora ni wa kikoenai sa
mukashi no hanashi yoru ni kikasete
koucha wo ireyou

to the sky that threatens to rain, they can't hear
let's tell the night about the conversations of bygone days
and pour some black tea


夕暮れには歌が歌えて
自分だけの言葉で薄紅の空を描く

yuugure ni wa uta ga utaete
jibun dake no kotoba de usubeni no sora wo egaku

I can sing a song to the evening
and with only my own words, I can paint the sky a light crimson

【初音ミク】 サヨナラの向こう側 sayonara no mukougawa (The other side of goodbye) English translation and lyrics

Such a relaxing piece to listen to!! (even though the lyrics are sad)


おはよう 元気かい?
今、何をしてるの?
君がいて 僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Good morning, how ya doing?
What are you doing right now?
You're here and I'm here
but I have to say goodbye

この世に永遠なんてない ずっと一緒なわけじゃない
儚くて 泣いてしまうけど 生きる勇気手に入れよう

There's no such thing as "eternity" in this world, it doesn't mean we'll be together forever
Even though you'll cry momentarily, I'll give you the courage to keep living

じゃあね おやすみ
明日 また話せるよ?
君がいて 僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Bye, good night
Will you be able to talk with me again tomorrow?
You're here and I'm here
but I have to say goodbye

サヨナラ 昨日の僕に ずっと一緒なわけじゃない
切なくて 泣いてしまうけど その涙が世界を潤してくんだ

Farewell, to the me of yesterday, it doesn't mean we'll be together forever
Though you'll cry miserably, those tears will benefit the world*


サヨナラ
sayonara


ほらね 夜が明ける
朝日が待ってるよ 今
君と僕がいる
でも サヨナラしなくちゃ

Look, the dawn is breaking
The morning sun is waiting for you now
I'm here with you
but I have to say goodbye


サヨナラしても君は 僕に行き続けるよ
その思いの深さだけが 僕を支えてくんだ いつだって

Even if I say goodbye, you'll keep on living in me
Just the depth of those thoughts will keep holding me up, always


サヨナラ
sayonara





* or "moisten/wet", probably that because we're talking about tears and crying here.

that's right, this morning I set it free
that small spider
I wonder how it'll do*

kurushimu boku wo hippari agete yo

ah, the spider's thread dangles til it reaches the shaking lotus flower
I'm suffering, please pull me up!


花降る 花降る水辺
花散る 花散る風で
あらゆる あらゆる技で

hanabira hanabira sakasou

whoa-oh-oh, flowers fall, flowers fall by the waterside
whoa-oh-oh, flowers scatter, flowers scatter with the wind
whoa-oh-oh, with each and every, each and every technique
whoa-oh-oh, it looks like the flower petals, flower petals will blossom




* or maybe "I wonder what'll happen to it"?

it seems like a painting*
the night seems to become a painting
it seems like a painting
you seem to be like a painting
it seems like a painting
the night seems to become a painting
I searched
for the sound of the night


手の鳴るほう

I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
with our hands intertwined,

I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
with our hands intertwined,
dancing, you're a falling star

looking towards the clapping of your hands

I'll go towards the clapping of your hands
I've searched
for the sound of the night


絵になるよう

it seems like a painting
the night seems to become a painting

手は離せないから

e ni naru you
e ni naru you na yoru
te wa hanasenai kara

it seems to become a painting
the night seems to become a painting
'cause I will never part my hands from yours


クラップ鳴って踊る
土曜のダンスホールは
まるでスローモーションだった
まるで君は夜の海月
(x2)

kurappu natte odoru
doyou no dansuhooru wa
marude suroomooshon datta
marude kimi wa yoru no kurage
(x2)

we clap our hands and dance
at the Saturday dance hall,
it was as if it were in slow motion
as if you were a medusa of the night




* the term 絵になる (e ni naru) literally means "to become a picture/painting", but more figuratively means something along the lines of "that subject is so graceful and majestic, it could become a beautiful painting." I know it doesn't make sense, I can't explain it very well. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could put it into better words for me or give a better translation.

** 手の鳴る方へ (te no naru hou he) means something along the lines of "in the direction of the sound of (one's) hands" and comes from a saying that basically means to clap your hands to distract someone who is chasing you while you run, and to cause them to rely on the sound of your clapping in order to catch you.
