【Requested by B016】
Never heard of this song, this circle, this album. Nothing about it.
It’s also really short (about 1:30), and it’s probably the request I’ve translated in the shortest time ever (personal record achieved).
My first impression was negative, because while I love screamo / scream vocal (Don’t forget this wordpress is named after Foreground Eclipse) the screams at the beginning of the song aren’t quite “my type” of screaming vocal.
It has to keep a melody, something that, initially, this song fails to keep.
But it catches back up really quick.
It may be short, but it’s a really powerful song. Just like its title.
It can seem strange to someone, but this kind of music helps me feeling relaxed, somehow.
I don’t know why, but I seem to work this way.
That’s probably because if the music is more “aggressive” it feels like I’m brushing away all my nervousness, just like punching a wall makes you calmer if you’re enraged.
Kinda like that.
終わりなき旅の果てが
道なき未知に導かれ
owari naki tabi no hate ga
michi naki michi ni michibikare
The end of this endless voyage
Is lead to the unknown of a non-existing road
激情 劣情 胸の旋律
切り裂く雷鳴 轟く
gekijou retsujou mune no senritsu
kirisaku raimei todoroku
Violent passion, carnal desire, my heart’s melody;
The roar of a thunder torn to pieces resounds.
魂揺さぶる ここが世界の果てでも
この手が生きてるなら
tamashii yusaburu koko ga sekai no hate demo
kono te ga ikiteru nara
My soul’s shaking, and even if that’s the edge of the World,
If this hand still lives than I…
止まった秒針 鳴らない輪舞曲
永遠などなく 壊れて
tomatta byoushin naranai rondo
eien nado naku kowarete
A froze up clock hand, a rondo that won’t make sound;
It’s not something eternal, it just broke.
涙は見せない 誇りがある 揺るぎない
この手で放つ
namida wa misenai hokori ga aru yuruginai
kono te de hanatsu
I won’t show my tears, my pride is firmly in here;
I let it go from my hand

Notes:
– 道なき未知に導かれ (first stanza) wordplay! michi (road) + michi (unknown) + michi[biku] (to lead a way).
– At the end of the song, you can hear the 2 singers saying “プチカミロマンティカ” (puchikamiromantica), which is the name of the album that this songs opens, “Petit Kami Romantica“.
