[REQUEST] セブンスヘブンMAXION – いつかみた夢

【Requested by DT】

So, this is actually an arrange from Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream‘s staff roll theme.
Nothing could be more underground than this!
These kind of PC-98 arranges always seem like an ending.
Whenever I think about touhou, I always remember EoSD onwards before PC-98, and that’s pretty sad.
It’s pretty sad how lots of things have been forgotten.
Not by fans, not by ZUN, but by touhou itself. Characters that disappeared, things that happened that no one seems to recollect or spend a word about.
It’s… sad, I guess.
I love the content for this lyrics. The link between dream and reality is something amazing in which I firmly believe, so I found this song to be really interesting in lots of sections.

セブンスヘブンMAXION – いつかみた夢

甘い蜜のような dream
蝶のように飛んだ　ひらひらと舞う　感覚

amai mitsu no you na dream
chou no you ni tonda hirahira to mau kankaku

A dream that is like a sweet syrup
And my feelings fluttering and dancing like a butterfly’s flight

夢の中の世界で
自分自身知る　事実と運命
キラキラと　光ってる　懐かしいあの思い出
占いを　信じてた　幼い日から続いて

yume no naka no sekai de
jibun jishin shiru jijitsu to unmei
kirakira to hikatteru natsukashii ano omoide
uranai o shinjiteta osanai hi kara tsudzuite

In the world inside my dreams
I perfectly know myself, my truth and my destiny
And that nostalgic memory shining in sparkles
Believed in that divination from that day which still goes on

こころとからだ　ほら超えてゆく
あしたの世界　垣間見るから
不安や懼れ　置き去りにして
まだみぬ世界　ほら温かい

kokoro to karada hora koeteyuku
ashita no sekai kaima miru kara
fuan ya osore okizari ni shite
mada minu sekai hora atatakai

Come on, go beyond the concept of “body” and “soul”
Because I can get a glimpse of the world of tomorrow!
Just leave behind your anxieties and fears
Because can’t you see? The yet-to-see world is so warm!

甘い蜜のような dream
すくい取って舐めた　笑みが零れる　瞬間

amai mitsu no you na dream
sukui totte nameta emi ga koboreru shunkan

A dream that is like a sweet syrup
I skim it and lick it, and in that moment a smile overflows

夢の中の世界と
リンクする現実　偶然じゃない
信じたい　あなたとの　あの出会い　今起こるの
物事の　因果には　偶然は無い　そう感じた

yume no naka no sekai to
rinkusuru genjitsu guuzen ja nai
shinjitai anata to no ano deai ima okoru no
monogoto no inga ni wa guuzen wa nai sou kanjita

The world inside my dreams
And the reality linked to it can’t be a coincidence
It’s happen again now, that encounter with the person I wanted to believe in, you
I felt like there’s no such thing as coincidence in the casuality of happenings

泉のように　夢溢れ出す
感情の渦が　今輪りだす
双子のような　「夢」と「現実」
最初は同じ　このからだから

izumi no you ni yume afuredasu
kanjou no uzu ga ima mawaridasu
futago no you na “yume” to “genjitsu”
saisho wa onaji kono karada kara

Dreams spills out just like a fountain
And the spiral of emotion is now swirling around
“Dream” and “Reality”, just like two twins
Share the same beginning, from this body of mine

沢山の柱が　あなたを支えてる
形も大きさもみんなバラバラだよ
その柱の合間ひらひらと舞う蝶
そして辿り着いたの
夢と時間と空間が　交叉してる終着

takusan no hashira ga anata o sasaeteru
katachi mo ookisa mo minna barabara da yo
sono hashira no aima hirahira to mau chou
soshite tadoritsuita no
yume to jikan to kuukan ga kousashiteru shuuchaku

Countless pillars are sustaining you
But their shape and size is all scattered up
Between those pillars, a butterfly is fluttering as it dances
And in the end, it finally reached you
Space, time and dreams cross the last stop

こころとからだ　ほら超えてゆく
あしたの世界　垣間見るから
不安や懼れ　置き去りにして
まだみぬ世界　ほら温かい
背中を抱いて　羽は無いから
伝わる体温　これは現実

kokoro to karada hora koete yuku
ashita no sekai kaima miru kara
fuan ya osore okizari ni shite
mada minu sekai hora atatakai
senaka o daite hane wa nai kara
tsutawaru taion kore wa genjitsu

Come on, go beyond the concept of “body” and “soul”
Because I can get a glimpse of the world of tomorrow!
Just leave behind your anxieties and fears
Because can’t you see? The yet-to-see world is so warm!
Hold my back, because I don’t have any wings,
This body temperature I can feel… this is reality!

私を支える　このいくつもの
温かな手を　ずっと離さない

watashi o sasaeru kono ikutsu mo no
atatakana te o zutto hanasanai

Sustain me, and don’t ever let go
Of those countless warm hands

Notes:

– WE FOUND IT, GUYS! The first song where 運命 is read as “unmei” and not as “sadame”!! WE MADE IT!!
– Third stanza “kokoro to karada hora koeteku” simpler version would be just “overcome your heart and body”, but here “kokoro” is not “heart”, and I think my translation fits better with the context.
