Kanon Wakeshima - L'espoir ~mahou no akai ito~ |
] |
(A translation of L'espoir ~mahou no akai ito~.)
ce piege que je t'ai tendu,
ce fil de couleur cerise,
tombe dedans, esclave de mon amour
tu ne peux pas y echapper [1]
my objective is a sweet date with him
and I absolutely do not want to lose to that girl
a rival in love may be inevitable but
I recite "RIOPSE", an unrivaled magic [2]
my ideals melting into a dream
and how we are already a pair
nobody get in my way!
the truth is, in the forementioned words, my heart was scorched
I want to draw out a destiny
like a drama
the trap that I set for you,
the cherry-coloured threads [3]
trapping my captive of love,
you can no longer escape
trouble in love may be inevitable but
I recite "RIOPSE", an unrivaled spell
my wishes reflected in dreams
in the world of us two
nobody may enter!
the truth is, I hid my uneasy heart in words
I want to return to the me who could love
unaffectedly
ce piege que je t'ai tendu,
ce fil de couleur cerise,
tombe dedans, esclave de mon amour
tu ne peux pas y echapper
tu ne peux pas y echapper
[1] The French stanza has the same meaning as the Japanese stanza "the trap that I set for you..." etc.
[2] RIOPSE, the spell made up by Kanon here, is "espoir" (hope) backwards.
[3] In Japanese culture, red threads are said to be invisible bonds that hold and bring two fated lovers together.

Kanon Wakeshima - Suna no oshiro |
] |
(A translation of Suna no oshiro. Again, there are many many erroneous translations of this on the web, so beware!)
a gently flowing
white cloud
is passing
my grayed self
is simply going to stare
fixedly
gather the stars,
found them in the castle of sand
it shall be my meagre prayer
collapsing,
swept away by the ambushing waves
a world of darkness.
a world of silence.
the vanishing prayer
may be stirred by the wind,
but still continues to glow
no matter how many times I grasp,
it disappears in these hands
the founded castle of sand
is swept away by the ambushing waves
to you

noelle - Yasashii kimochi |

(A translation of Ennui kibun!)
the tail
of the velvet cat
crushed by my brand-new shoes
what a disaster!
ahh!
ahhhh!
AhHHhhhH!
I have important business today!
that I said
a complaint
is not the case
ring, ring, morning
the mechanical sound rings
I hate it I love it I hate it
inside
a bed of dilemmas
I hate it I love it I hate it!
a voice that
sounds satisfied
with its meal
wraps around my ankle
I’ll be faster than that,
I gotta go!
ring, ring, morning
the mechanical sound rings
I hate it I love I hate it
ennui feeling
in front of the mirror
I hate it I love it I hate it I love it!
ring, ring, darling
make it quieter
I hate it I love it I hate it
today-only’s special
hateful love!

Kanon Wakeshima - Maboroshi |
] |
(Back with a translation of Maboroshi! Translations I keep seeing online are really quite erroneous, so I felt like I could really do this song some more justice. It's truly quite beautiful! Enjoy!)
I, who was created from a fantasy, exist for you
I have no appearance,
I don't even have shape
I can guess what it is you wish for
that the back of my hands were pale,
and my lungs a deep red...
no matter how many thousands of miles the road,
or the duration of the hours of darkness,
you move in them
freely, at your will
even if I cross over space,
my unexisting self
cannot face you.
I understand that, but...
I do not dream
I don't even have a heart
but you laughed,
you told me
"I love you"
the flashing pulsations
when seen from your eyes
seem like they're pasted on an LCD screen
you keep on sending
light and illusion
and if you stop, I can no longer be here
no matter the duration of the hours of darkness,
you can move in them
freely, at your will
even if I cross over space,
my unexisting self
cannot face you.
I understand that, but...

Kanon Wakeshima - Shiroi kokoro |
] |
(A translation of Kanon Wakeshima's Shiroi kokoro. I really found this to be the most beautiful song, musically and lyrically, on her album. I'm planning on doing highly-poetic-lisenced translations of each of the songs on the album, one by one, so please look forward to them!)
in the forest where my dreams beckon
if you, who seems lost by a single degree
are the white snow
then I just peer into the mirror sky
and see naught but a witch
who envies the love of man
I have coveted someone's love
I don't want to wear a black dress
I have intercepted someone's love
I don't want to become a black cloud
the winter has frozen my ankles
even though I wear glass slippers
I can no longer dance, nor walk
I can do naught but wait for the love of man to come
I have coveted someone's love
I don't want to wear a black dress
I have intercepted someone's love
a black cloud is flowing far away
I'm smiling in someone's love now
my heart becoming white,
I want to run out barefooted
