to die by GREMLINS

English:

Cloudless sky, a wished future
Spitting, footsteps ringing
Covered in dust, (my)body rusts together
Visibility will probably be zero soon, but I am able to walk

A lyrical passion cried, gently crunching the star(s)
The sky is not something blue

Jump in the night
“Change this fate” but is there anything so scary as that?
Don’t get me wrong
“I want to go back” that shitty, pointless, trivial dream is all I see
I hugged the night with trembling hands
tonight

Disappearing time, fading memory
But the world continues turning
We follow a crushed/ruined sound
At the destination, what will we be able to see
unpredictable

The lonely night cried, always gazing at the star(s)
It’s not bad, right

Jump in the night
“Change this fate” but is there anything so scary as that?
Don’t get me wrong
“I want to go back” that shitty, pointless, trivial dream is all I see
I hugged the night with trembling hands
tonight

Jump in the night
“Change this fate” but is there anything so scary as that?
Don’t get me wrong
“I want to go back” that shitty, pointless, trivial dream is all I see
I hugged the wound with trembling voice
tonight

Jump in the night
“Simply proceed to the unseeable future” I am probably just a clown(fool)
Don’t get me wrong
“Don’t let go” a collapsing world seeking it’s core

Count the nights with trembling fingers
I snuggle into your crazy voice
to die

the Carnival by GREMLINS

English:

From here the night begins
Without flashy, romantic words
I have loved, I have been loved
Help me stop this

Lucky(1), mysterious, ambiguous were the words
Let’s spin disco ball(2) HIGH
P.A.R.T.Y with you
Won’t you come
Well, dance

Come into me, I don’t want to wake up
Who’s the one who got me wet?
Refusing(3) love, shaking hips
Stain the night with you Carnival

The ones that begin from this
Sweet nights of indecency
Lucky, mysterious, ambiguous were the words
Make me throw caution to the wind(4) JIVE

My heart is shaking so hard
Don’t take your eyes off from me
Won’t start the night without you
Won’t you come
Well, dance

Come into me, I don’t want to wake up
Who was the one who got me wet?

Candles illuminate these thoughts of mine
Were you the one who melted?

Trembling while whispering Carnival that feels like nothing
I am the one who broke?

Do not divert those eyes
Look only at me
Refusing love
So always
Stain the night with you Carnival

P.A.R.T.Y with you
P.A.R.T.Y with you
P.A.R.T.Y with you
Won’t you come
Well, let’s dance

Kanji:

幸い怪々曖昧だった言葉

P.A.R.T.Y with you

あたしの中にきて 覚めたくないから
濡らしたのは誰?
愛を蹴って 腰を降って
夜に染まる君とCarnival

これから始まるのは
淫らで 甘い夜
幸い怪々曖昧だった言葉
理性を剥がせ JIVE

My heart is shaking so hard
Don’t take your eyes off from me
Won’t start the night without you
Won’t you come
さぁ 踊れ

あたしの中にきて 覚めたくないから
濡らしたのは誰?

僕のこの思いを キャンドルが照らす
溶かしたのは君?

揺れながら囁く 感情皆無のCarnival
壊したのは僕?

その眼を逸らさないで
僕だけを見てよ
愛を蹴って
だからずっと
夜に染まる君とCarnival

P.A.R.T.Y with you
P.A.R.T.Y with you
P.A.R.T.Y with you
Won’t you come
さぁ 踊ろう

Notes:
1) いなせな
2) ミラーボール mirror ball, which is a disco ball
3) 蹴って kette literally mean kicking, but as slang can mean refusing
4) 理性を剥がせ “risei o hagase” roughly translates to “peel off the ability to reason”
I chose to replace this with an equivalent English expression.

Mourou Suspense by GREMLINS

English:

I don’t fucking care ’bout despair

Having a cold knife, I’ve decided my destination
In the quiet, the upturned corners of my mouth no one can see

Sometimes hazy suspense

C’mon now, let’s aim
You are only you, all the bells ring
Wounded, hurting, the time is closing in soon
Look, tomorrow might be the last moment

There’s no dream
So, it would only be a burden
There’s no love
Before long, it would only interfere

Sometimes hazy suspense

Ah it seems scary
I am only me, everything looks away
In words that are not conveyed, wavering quivering
I might resemble you

I don’t need an iffy answer

C’mon now, let’s aim
You are only you, all the bells ring
Wounded, hurting, the time is closing in soon

“What is justice in this world?”
Ignorance is bliss probably
It’s painful it’s sad
Let’s end this

Screams not stopping
Tears hanging
Wavering hazy suspense

I don’t fucking care ’bout despair

I don’t fucking care ‘bout despair

冷たい刃を手に行き先を決めた
静かに上がる口角誰にも見せない

時に朦朧サスペンス

ほら明日が最期かも

夢なんかないよ。

嗚呼怖そう

Notes:
Most of these notes are for the SFX (sound effect) words since they are not usually available in a dictionary… plus they are fun to learn!

1)  furafura – dizzy, wobbly, staggering, SFX of when someone is walking in a        way that they look like they are about to faint;
OR meandering, walking without direction or purpose
2)  zorozoro – to come in large numbers, continuous; usually used to explain a      huge crowd gathering
3)  陥る (ochiiru) – to fall but not usually a physical fall, but rather an ethical or        mental fall; so some words that fit this would be devolve, degenerate,                symptoms getting worse, backslide, collapse
4)  giragira – sparkly but a little darker than (not as beautiful as) kirakira
5)  体内 (tainai) – means inside the body but this word is paired with dorodoro        (a liquidy SFX word) and the song as a whole focuses on blood
6)  dorodoro – muddy, melty, oozing, SFX for something viscous flowing, such        as lava
7)  daradara – continuous dripping of thick liquid, like blood, sweat, saliva drool;      OR sluggish, being lazy and doing nothing
8)  jiwajiwa – when something is happening slowly OR sinking in
9)  dokudoku – gushing, profusely
But actually… I think it’s a word play tokutoku (heartbeat) + doku (poison) =      dokudoku (poison heartbeat)
10) boroboro – crumble, tattered, worn-out, SFX for something falling apart
11) 最初で最後 (saisho de saigo) – literally means “the first and the last” but it’s       another way of saying this is the one and only time
12) 果て (hate) – means reward, end result, or in this case the end, extremity,         limit of a place. So it’s not like something stopped existing. It’s more like             what’s at the end of this road, what’s at the far edge of this field, etc.

Film by GREMLINS

English:

The filthy curtain is now opening
There’s a dirty(obscene) drama here

“Shadow”, “painful”, “scarry” “chuckle”
Being assaulted by those hands becoming naked

The hands pluck(tear) at my chest
Eventually the pain will also fade away

“Shadow”, “painful”, “scarry” “chuckle”
Being assaulted by those hands becoming naked

Sin, darkness, love, wounds; they too cycle through and fade away

In a sad voice
A happy “Welcome”

 

Romaji:

Kegareta maku ga ima hiraite
Kitanai DORAMA ga koko ni

「shadow」「painful」「scarry」「chuckle」
Hadaka ni nari sono te de itametsukete

Sono te wa mune wo kakimushiru
Yagate wa itami mo kiete

Hadaka ni nari sono te de itametsukete

Kanji:

汚れた幕が今開いて
汚いドラマが比処に

「shadow」「painful」「scarry」「chuckle」
裸になりその手で痛めつけて

その手は胸を掻き毟る
やがては痛みも消えて

「shadow」「painful」「scarry」「chuckle」
裸になりその手で痛めつけて

罪も闇も愛も傷も巡り廻り消える

悲しい声で
嬉しい「ようこそ」

Fellow Traveler by GREMLINS

English:

There are plenty of disturbing things
That much Can not be helped
Always enduring the frustrations.
If you manage to laugh somehow (then)

They forget, you can someday forget
What is it? What are they talking about?
I do not care! You can be like that
Joking around, pretending to be fool

For the time being, raise your hands body swaying
Open your eyes heart wavering
“Come on, come here.”
Tears from a lovely lie
Hey now JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! body swaying
Oh please, don’t you cry heart wavering
Don’t be sad
I’ll enchant you with a lovely dream

There are plenty of likeable things, right
That much is Non-negotiable
Tightly packing in the excitement.
If you laugh as much as you like (then)

We forget, you can always forget
What are they? What are they playing?
We do not care! Even becoming such a thing
Joking around, pretending to not know

For the time being, raise your hands body swaying
Open your eyes heart wavering
“Come on, come here.”
Tears from a lovely lie
Hey now JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! body swaying
Oh please, don’t you cry heart wavering
Don’t be sad
I’ll enchant you with a lovely dream

The blooming (smiling) face of that guy exists
Fly you to my world, we laughing ‘everywhere
The loving face which died exists
Dive into the sky, I see you everywhere
That guy which was buried exists
take a shot with me, they’re vivid everywhere
If married couple dies in here
Leave everything to me and let’s keep moving now

Don’t forget anymore
Look up to the sky, hands out-stretched tears flowing
“Come on, come here.”
Beckoning from sky
He and that guy over there and this guy and that guy and you, all aiming at the sky
Don’t disappear, enchant me with a lovely dream

For the time being, raise your hands body swaying
Open your eyes heart wavering
“Come on, come here.”
Tears from a lovely lie
Hey now JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! body swaying
Oh please, don’t you cry heart wavering
Don’t be sad
Shall we go see a lovely dream?

Cinderella by GREMLINS

English:

The sound of the rain dripping and a black-and-white piano umbrella
They go well together I’m happy
Lovely red carpet

I wanna be pretty.
I’ll go now to do my cute manicure(1)

Excited, I’m looking forward to seeing you
Heart pounding(2), what will you look like(3)

I wanna be pretty.
I’ll go wearing a beautiful dress

Hey, let me stay here, just because(4)
Pleeeeeease(5)
Hey, hold me gently
looking at me all the while

The sound of a hard candy being sucked on, noisily(6)
Echo in the bed where the fresh sheets became disshevled

I wanna be pretty.
I’ll wait wearing the scent of honey

Hey, let me stay here, just because
Pleeeeeease
Hey, hold me gently
looking at me all the while

Hey, just do it, let it out in here(7)
Pleeeeeease
Hey, do it more gently!!
(You’re acting) cold, you know!

It’s already the last moment of cat dance(8)
I’m sad(9) but
In any case(10), you won’t know me
will you(11)

“Don’t complain hey listen to what I say, really dislike like(12)”

Dripping tears and black shadows flow
It’s a lonely farewell
Solitary(13) red carpet

I wanna be pretty.
蜜の香り纏って待つわ

ねえ、良いから此処に居させて
お願いだから!
ねえ、ずっとあたしを見て
優しく抱いて。

ねえ、イイから此処に出して
お願いだから。
ねえ、もっと優しくシテ!!
冷たいのね!

もう最期猫のダンスも
悲死いけれド
動背貴方はアたシの事
知ら無いMOノね

『ごちゃごちゃ言わないで少しは言う事聞いてよね本当は嫌い好き』

涙がポタポタと黒のシャドウを流す
お別れ寂しいわ
娘毒なレッドカーペット

 

Notes:

I feel like there are several possible interpretations for this song’s storyline, as far as “what did/didn’t happen” to Cindarella. I’ve left it vague on purpose… because at this point, who REALLY knows??

1. It can also be “to do my nails/get my nails done” but “cute manicure” sounded better than “get my nails done cute.”
2. I’m sharing this because it was new for me lol. Waku waku is a happy kind of excited, whereas doki doki is a nervous anticipation (generally romantic AKA my heart is pounding) kind of excited.
3. Literally “what kind of face will you let me sneak a peek of”
4. いいから (ii kara) literally means “because it’s good”, but it has a more idiomatic meaning. It means something more like “nevermind the explanation, just do it already”
5. お長いだから! (onagaidakara!) literally mean “I’m begging you, do this favor” but “Pleeeeeease!” seemed to best capture the spirit in which this Cindarella would say it.
6. This is a fairly literal translation; but it might mean a lot more because it seems out of place as is. If you can properly explain how this fits the story, please message me. (>_<)
7. This again is fairly literal but I’m 99% positive that this is “cum inside me” although… it seems a rather unnatural way to say “Have sex with me”
8. What exactly is a cat dance? I found only a couple references, same-sex sex and sex where 1 partner is relatively non-participatory (as in bored, uninterested). It might just mean sex, though I could never find anything that said that.
9. 悲死 (kanashii) It’s not a real word when spelled with these kanji, so it’s Hitsugi making word play again. The kanji mean “sad” and “death” so maybe it’s sadness because something has died. What would that something be?? Maybe her idol fantasy, her love, her virginity… you decide!
10. 動背 (douse) This is not a real word either. The kanji mean “movement” and “back” and I read this word play as turning your back to someone, based on the rest of the sentence. Douse is a tricky word. The way it was explained to me is it’s a word used when you already know the outcome, and it’s not what you wanted. Kinda like “yappari” only not happy. Cinderella is about to get dissed and in her heart she already knows.
11. (monone) Apparently this sentence ending is more girlish and whiney than just “ne” and it implies that she’s kinda complaining about the situation.
12. These are part of the printed lyrics but they are not sung in the song. The last part 本当は嫌い好き makes no sense as written. It might be word play… the individual words are “really dislikeable likeable”
13. 娘毒 (kodoku) This is not a real word when made with these kanji. They mean “daughter” and “poison” which seems fitting for the story. But kodoku-na really means solitary or isolated. So by my reasoning, our “poisoned girl” is alone on the red carpet.

Bacchus by GREMLINS

English:

I’ll take you away to a colorful world
Now kiss me

The light of the sun proclaimed “Good night” to darkness of night
The darkness of night mumbled “I wonder may I just keep things the way they are?”

“Not good anymore…”

Whispering voice of an angel echoing inside my ear
The demon is drooling, drip drip psychopath

“Ready yet?
Ready!(1) Come over here.(2)”

I’ll mesmerize/bewitch(3) you with a colorful world
Can’t wrap my mind around it, but vividly colored
Red black white pink blue yellow unimaginable place

Here goes nothing, dive into a parallel world, butterfly
don’t hate solitude
It’s fine just like this.

“Not good any more…”

Annoying flies(lowlifes) buzz around
Pretending to be important egoism
Don’t press against me so much(4)
Because I’ll cum(5) as it is.

“Ready yet?
Ready! Come over here.”

I’ll mesmerize/bewitch you with a colorful world
Can’t wrap my mind around it, but vividly colored
Red black white pink blue yellow unimaginable place

→ innocent cry ←

Forget us on that red day
Even though it’s corroded
Wasn’t nitpicking

I’ll show you a colorful world
Can’t wrap my mind around it, but vividly colored
Red black white pink blue yellow unimaginable place
Well, give me your hand we’ll fly off together(6)

Was I sad just now?
Even so, I still want to play while watching the dream
You are the only one being cold, you know
So I want to drink it up(7)

カラフルな世界に連れてゆくよ

陽の光が「おやすみ」と夜の闇に告げ
夜の闇は呟いた「そのままで良いのか?」と

さあ手を掲げて

悲しいのは今だけなんだろ?
それでも夢を見ながら遊びたい
冷たいのは君しか居ないのさ
だから飲み干たい

Notes:

1. もういいかい?/mou ii kai? もういいよ!/mou ii yo! This pair of phrases come from the game “kakurenbo” (Hide and Seek) and they are equivalent to “Are you ready yet?” and “I’m ready!”
2. 処においで/koko ni oide Literally it means “Come here.” But instead of the verb “kuru” to come, we have “oide” which is more polite. This is the same kind of language a shop owner would use to invite you into his shop… “Welcome, please DO come in!” so I think there is some seducing going on here. (>_<)
3. 魅せてあげる/misete ageru I think this is a play on words. Misete ageru sounds like “I will show you” and in the last chorus this is ACTUALLY what is being said. But the first 2 times thru the chorus the kanji is different. 魅 means mesmerize, bewitch, entice, etc show I take this to mean “I will show you with the intent of luring you in.”
4. そんなに押し付けるなよ/sonna ni oshitsukeru nayo It’s another word play! I think maybe both phrases (one is general, one is sexual) apply at the same time. Someone is pressuring him but at the same time pressing against him. This leads to the NEXT note.
5. このままでイクから/konomamade IKU kara Literally it says “Because I’m gonna cum just like this” Something like that….
6. さあ手を掲げて/te wo kakagete “Kakagete” is the verb used for “hoisting/flying a flag” and “te” is “hand.” So I get “the hand is flying.” And since the chorus is about him wanting to take someone away the mysterious country, this action would also involve that other person. So the imagery here is “hand in hand, raising hands to fly off to the mysterious country.”
7. 飲み干たい/nomihoshitai This means “I want to to drink it all up, drain the cups, drink like a sponge.” It can also be used outside the context of drinking to mean roughly “YOLO/ I want to live it up/ take it all in”

Bereavement by GREMLINS

English:

Everything must come to an end and I can’t stand it all
Only if I could have you in front of me now
(we know)
Everything must come to an end and I can’t help it at all
Only if we could turn back the time we have had

Please don’t disappear
At any given time, be at that place

Tears perforated the goodbye
So gently
Repainting every vision you had seen
Ah until i felt better

Anything I can have could be taken away from me
Only if I could cage them in front of me now
(we know)
Anything I can have could be taken away from me
Only if I could tie them to stay with me now

Don’t slip away from me
Stay like this, pulling my hand

You did me the favor of wrapping me in kindness
So warm
A word that was missing from this world where I exist
Let me shine brilliantly

Tears perforated the goodbye
So gently
Repainting every vision you had seen
Ah the last moments of time burned in my heart

Love You by GREMLINS

English:

This pointless song for you
who is far, far away
Is it reaching you?
I vowed in the full moon of love
A future more gentle than anything

I just want to hold you
You know we’ll never and ever make each other better You know we’ll never and ever make each other better
Let me hear that voice
It’s now or never whenever you think it is over It’s now or never whenever you think that it is over

It’s already the end, right
Those eyes, that skin, even that breath
I’m not able to touch
I vowed in the full moon of love
A future sadder than anything

I just want to hold you
You know we’ll never and ever make each other better You kow we’ll never and ever make each other better
Let me hear that voice
It’s now or never whenever you think it is over It’s now or never whenever you think it is over

Should I be here? Should I leave then? Should I be here? Should I leave then?
Not able to feel even warmth
Should I do what? Should I do what?
The cold ring (on my finger) felt horribly tight

Goodbye to me
Here’s [Love] for you

I just want to hold you
You know we’ll never and ever make each other better You know we’ll never and ever make each other better
Let me hear that voice
It’s now or never whenever you think it is over It’s now or never whenever you think it is over

Should I be here? Should I leave then? Should I be here? Should I leave then?
Oh, how much I love you
Should I do what? Should I be here? Should I do what? Should I be here?
Colorless words ringing fading away
