(translation by kafka fuura)
I should have wished it in secret, now one should have realized
But I can’t go back now, I’ve already come so far
What should I believe in? Who should I believe in?
The landscape just keeps racing by, too fast to grab hold of
It cuts away, inverting, precise.. this panorama
It stays that way, this way, without ever fading
How far will my heart
Grow used to such cruelty?
Facing the mirror it reflects a straying song
Has my heart grown this
Accustomed to cruelty?
I wish for the world I’ve lost sight of, “again, one day…”
I don’t need anything
And yet I’m so sad
I didn’t know the way that one day, that straying song
When I looked for kindness
Somewhere in words
Things begin to grate; so I was wrong, again…?
I just keep gathering things I don’t want
I didn’t wish for this! It’s like waking up to a nightmare
When the end comes as I sleep..
Even if it’s so far away, that’s alright
Even if it’s so far away, I’d rather it be
I knew my wishes wouldn’t come true
That there would be nothing in those eyes
How far will my heart
Grow used to such cruelty?
That one day I heard laughing, that straying song
How far will my heart
Grow used to such cruelty?
I wish for my crumbling world, “again, one day…”
Knowing nothing
I was happy..
I didn’t know the way, but threw away that straying song
When I looked for truth
Somewhere within my heart
Things begin to grate; so I was wrong, again…?

Eh? EHHHH?!?!?! This song! This beautiful song! This song that was based on a PC-98 song, joining the likes of "Dreaming" and "The Lost Dimension" as songs that pays adequate tribute to that era! I never did learn the English translation for this song. Thank you for posting the English translation for us non-indigent folks (and thanks to kafka-fuura for translating it)! I kind of feel that this song could be dubbed in French, even more so than in English. Many of these touhou lyrics are so artful that it's quite open to interpretation, which adds to the charm to this song. I must also reiterate that you have a wonderful taste in music! I love your take on this song! The notes are correctly pitched, but your notes are typically very smooth in comparison to the original. Even the notes that you staccato'd are more like a portato with a bit of a musical accent. Speaking of those staccato'd lines, I really especially loved those, as these highlight your singing voice style. The ability to switch between the higher and lower pitches really serves you well here, too, and I love the emotion you put into these songs. Mei Ayakura may have sung this first, but you sing this with the ownership of a true artist. Now back to the hide-y-hole I go.

This song has always had a special place in my heart. Good choice!

Hey, I was the guy who provided the romaji & kanji lyrics for Transient Mind back in 2012. Had no idea you did covers. This is the first one of yours I heard and I gotta say you killed it. Excellent job. Have you thought about doing 花に幽明夜に紫 by Minstrel? I feel like you could do LIQU@'s voice justice.

[@Zatchi13]

Absolute jam. You brought new life to this song with your amazing vocals

[@rockclimber129]

YESSS HOW DID i NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW THE DREAM IS ALIVE

[@ArkinesVT]

SUCH A QUEEN thank you for sharing your beautiful voice once more This song is so good, and your voice fits it so well. Going back to older videos, you sounded nervous, like you weren't sure anyone would like it. Now, you sound powerful, like you are singing for you. Every song you sing is rich and full of emotion, like the words you sing come from the depths of your heart.

[@0P2C]

thank you so much Arkie baby ♥ yes it is true i've been feeling way more confident than, say, 1 year and a half ago!! I try hard to convey emotions...

[@nightlywish2583]

I have been listening to this song for years on years, but i still can't figure out what is being said at the end of it. I recognize "Alice Meastra" but what comes before it, it baffles me.

[@vivivincenza]

Your cover is amazing! I was just listening to the original the other day and thought "I'd love to do a cover of this", but I was sad to see there is no instrumental. Did you make it yourself?

[@0P2C]
