Benibana no Otome Uta [ Romaji + English Subs ]

Singers: Hanazawa Kana & Toyosaki Aki & Horie Yui
Lyrics: Hoshino Lily
Composition: Itou Masumi
Arrangement: Itou Masumi
Anime Insert Song: Otome Youkai Zakuro
Romaji:
watasha hana ka chouchou ka oni ka
aware mi mo yo mo araryou mono ka
beni no kawari ni sasu no wa yaiba ja
tanto homete kudashanse
watasha saku hana saite ureshi ya
aware itsuka wa chiriyuku mo hana
en wa kireru ga ano ko wa kirenu
kirerya jigoku ga fueteyuku
watasha karehana oni no tsubomi ja
tomete tomaranu irozuku chiiro ja
beni mo ano ko mo washi ni wa iranu
itsuka tsubomi ni modoryanse
English:
Am I a flower, a butterfly, or a demon?
Should I no longer be concerned about my body or this world?
What I wield is not a lipstick, but a piercing blade.
Would you be so kind as to give me plenty of praise?
I am a blooming flower, happy about my blooming, too.
However, a flower must scatter away at some point.
I can sever my fate, but cannot sever that child's life.
If I should have killed, only more infernal torture will await me.
I am a withered flower, the flower bud of a demon.
No matter how hard I try, I cannot stop being dyed crimson.
To me, neither the lipstick nor that child is needed.
Someday, please kindly allow me to change back into a flower bud.

@@vandergrift5557 the ending is realistic, I guess not everyone would be satisfied, but for me I kinda feel hurt but the ending is the best for the MCs. I would recommend you to watch it if you want something realistic, but if you're like me who doesn't like depressing endings, take your time and gather up more courage, lol i feel like i'm exaggerating

[@Mojojojo85757]

I know this is a late reply but if you liked Zakuro you might like fushigi yuugi. It’s a classic, action/romance. A girl and her best friend go to a library and find a mysterious old book written in Chinese. Her friend who can read chinese attempts to read the book with her and they end up trapped in this mysterious world that seems to take place in a distant past…. Way more to it than that but that’s the general idea 😉 inu yasha also has a similar vibe to zakuro but most people are familiar with that anime already. I recommend anyone who isn’t to check them both out!

[@DerpyGaming1010]

God, this song is the perfect mix of cute and beautiful.

[@TheSingingBUn]

[@Azraeliciousdelicious]

apare apare apare na!-really love that part

[@MBayuPerdana]

i wonder what that means

[@SoulGuitarMetal]

Things like "sore" and "appare" are called kakegoe. It's a type of rhythm mark, encouragement or call to the public. Like "yeah", "ooh", "let's go", "one, two three".

[@Sharimsejn]

Nice explain :)

[@MyriadMythial]

In this case appare means admirable or praiseworthy so it is a call for encouragement to the performers. Of course in traditional use they are almost always scripted.

[@alinavarghese2074]

I like the part that goes watasha hana ka, the part at the start

[@Trevicus]

Цветок ли я в твоем саду? Бабочка иль, может, демон я? Должна ли я тревожиться о себе иль мире сём? Красные цветы в руке обратятся в лезвие - Достойна ль я твоей хвалы? Хвали меня, хвали меня, хвали меня! Я так рада расцвести, лепестки мои остры, Но цветы обречены все однажды отцвести. Сломанное лезвие не оборвет ребенка жизнь, Если он порежется - мне дорога только в ад. Хвали меня, хвали меня, хвали меня! Мико как раз завершают песню: Я увяла, как цветок из бутона демона, Но не могу я прекратить окрашиваться в алый. Мне не нужны ни те дети, ни красные цветы, Просто позволь мне вновь бутоном стать… Чтобы ты хвалил меня, хвалил меня, хвалил меня!
