Lyrics/Translation: *Tsukioi no Toshi* *The City of Moon Chasing (~Leozet Lag Ecliss~) canoue ver.* 走り出す時計の歯車は廻り _hashiredasu tokei no haguruma wa mawari_ The gears of the running clock start to turn 軋みながら誰かの命を刻む _kishimi nagara dare ka no inochi wo kizamu_ Creaking as someone’s life is engraved* 空が霞むほどに花を散らして _sora ga kasumu hodo ni hana wo chirashite_ The sky becomes hazy as flowers are scattered, 無数の意識の中で 確かな鼓動を聞く _musou no ishiki no naka de tashikana kodou wo kiku_ A certain beat can be heard within the myriad of consciousness 繰り返す悪夢を砕いて 聖鐘を鳴らす影は… _kurikaesu akumu wo kudaite kane wo narasu kage wa…_ Endless nightmares shatter as the shadow of the ringing holy bell is… 永遠を夢見た少女は独り _eien wo yumemita shoujo wa hitori_ The girl who dreams of eternity is alone 贖うべき罪の重さを認めて _akanaubeki tsumi no omosa wo mitomete_ Accepting the weight of the sins she must atone for 哀しい眼差しの奥に潜む黄金の色は _kanashii manazashi no oku ni hisoumu kin no iro wa_ Concealed within her sorrowful gaze lies a golden hue, 終焉の都市を照らし続ける _shuuen no toshi wo terashi tsutzukeru_ Which continues to illuminate the City of Demise 狂い出す時計の歯車は廻り _kuruidasu tokei no haguruma wa mawari_ The gears of the haywire clock starts to turn ひび割れた大地にも命を注ぐ _hibiwareta daichi ni mo inochi wo sosobu_ As life starts to pour even into the fissured land 空が凍るほどに花は気高く _sora ga kooru hodo ni hana wa kedakaku_ The sky congeals as flowers sublime 薄れる意識の中で 小さな願いを聞く _usureru ishiki no naka de chiisana negai wo kiku_ A tiny wish can be heard within the fading consciousness 命脈の狭間に佇み ただ微笑む影は… _meimyaku no hazama ni tatazumi tada hohoemu kage wa…_ Standing still between the threads of life, the shadow that just smiles is… 近付く足音からの逃れるべく _chikazuku ashioto kara no gareru beku_ To escape from the approaching sounds of footsteps 月を目指せば影を別つ定め _hikari wo mezaseba kage wo wakatsu sadame_ She looked at the moon to separate the shadows from her fate 優しい眼差しの奥に宿る黄金の色は _yasashii manazashi no oku ni yadoru kin no iro wa_ Within her gentle gaze dwells a golden hue, 創世の都市を描き続ける _hajimari no toshi wo egaki tsutzukeru_ Which continues to paint the City of Origins 永遠を呪った都市は血に囚われ _eien wo norotta toshi wa chi ni toraware_ The city cursed for eternity is imprisoned in blood 二度と目を覚まさず湖に沈む _nidoto me wo samasazu mizuumi ni shizumu_ Never to awaken, sinking into the lake 冷たい眼差しの奥に潜む黄金の色は _tsumetai manazashi no oku ni hisomu kin no iro wa_ Concealed within her coldhearted gaze lies a golden hue, 月追いの都市を照らし続ける _tsukioi no toshi wo terashi tsutzukeru_ Which continues to illuminate the City of Moon Chasing Translations by me * Correction from aquagondrag's reply 「月追いの都市」は初めて聴いたしもつきんの曲の一つで、こんな素敵な曲を聴くことができるなんて本当にありがとうございます!
The translation is pretty good, but I just have a correction for this line: 軋みながら誰かの命を刻む kishimi nagara dare ka no inochi wo kizamu Creaking as someone’s life ticks away The more literal interpretation of the verb used here, "engraving the life of someone" would fit better, as "winding the spiral coil" (as in the coil of a clock or music box) is a metaphor in Lag-Quara for creating something or somebody.

yeah that makes sense, duly noted! didn't have the full context of the metaphor of "winding the spiral coil" until now, thanks for that
Oooh thank you for rereleasing/remaking this! I know it by heart because I listened to it so much. I've been listening to Haruka Shimotsuki's music for years, since 2006 I believe? I heard her voice in Hikari no Rasenritsu from Rozen Maiden, and instantly wanted to hear more! I am glad you and your unit Canoue is releasing music on youtube. It helps us foreigners be able to support you and hear your songs. I also love the instrumental versions, sometimes I like to sing my own lyrics over them ^_^
