APRÈS MIDI

The main street is the same as always
Just watching the people pass by, bringing a gentle breeze

You, who I found in the plaza full of lovers talking amongst each other, were smiling

an après midi a paris
You murmured “I wish I could walk beside you under this sky”
Smiling at someone from far away

As the sun sets, lamps ignite throughout the plaza, and the flowers are in full bloom

Even chestnut trees lining the street of the starry plaza suit that dress behind the glass

an après midi a paris
If it is fate, and if I feel you approaching on the breeze under this sky
I’m sure that I’ll run into you here again tomorrow

Au Revoir

In the street where our footsteps resound forever
The withered trees on the roadside
Made me aware of my lengthening pace

The tiny fallen leaves that pass by my shoulders return to the sky again
For some reason, even that raging wind is dear to me now
I smiled softly

The figure that I’m used to seeing leaning near the window
Is reflected in the darkening sunbeams, disappearing
The words I murmured, overflowing with emotion are
“At least until I awake from the dream…”

More
I want to hold you while we sleep
Even though now it has become pleasant memories
I want to sleep holding you in these arms
The way we did back when we first met

The rustling trees along the roadside brush against the window
Softly whispering the same words once again…
Although I cannot see the figure from that time
At least, only while I dream

More
I want to hold you while we sleep
Even though now it has become pleasant memories
I want to sleep holding you in these arms
Just like back on that day we met
As the two of us

I want to hold you while we sleep
I want to sleep holding you in these arms

I want to hold you while we sleep
I want to sleep holding you in these arms

Guided by a gentle signing voice…
The pure white tears that flow down blow in the wind as time ticks away

Looking at me, the eyes that do not know impurity are
Reflecting the boundless,  eternally continuing Earth
Tracing my forgotten teardrops with your little fingers

I won’t be separated from your thin, transparent voice
But I cannot stay here…

The tears that are spilling are words of farewell

I do not hear anything,  smiling, you put a hand on my chest

The kiss you placed upon my cheek…  I will not forget you
Hold me more strongly, until I return to the sky
I won’t be separated from your thin, transparent voice
Hold me more strongly, so that I will not disappear…

So that I will not disappear…

Hold on… you’re gonna be okay..
somebody… help us..

Ah… In your last moments, I cried out the words of your repeated monologue

Are my prayers received…　before my eyes, I see you the way you are in my memories

Ah… The words of your repeated monologue are not known by anyone

I run up to you, holding you close and stroking your cheek

Ah…To God in heaven who answers my prayers
I will pray once again… “Restore her heart”

Looking into the sky with cold eyes
So that I might know where to return to

Ah…To God in heaven who answers my prayers
I will pray once again… “Restore her heart”

Ah… To the God in heaven who answers my prayers
I pray for my final wish… “Let her rest in peace”

Tracing your lines of tears with my cold finger
In a trembling voice, I repeated the words “I’ll send you back to the sky”

Garnet

Lyrics:  Klaha
Album: Garnet (single)
Translator: Obscured Moon

These small fragments in my hands are showing me a wondrous dream
I softly grasp them firmly, and this nostalgic scene blends together in my memories

I look up into the night sky, and the commotion of the stars rains gently down on you
Putting our hopes into that one beam of light, you silently held our hands above our heads in that moment

Gleaming red, my overflowing emotions will illuminate the stairs that connect the ends of my dream, no matter where I am
white stair to sky

A far-away, forbidden garden, guiding you through this far-reaching labyrinth, Garnet in the Eden
Walking through this time that we cannot return to, until [we reach] the place where you should return to

Gleaming red, my increasing feelings slowly open the floating gate at the end of my dream
white stair to sky

A far-away, forbidden garden, guiding you through this far-reaching labyrinth, Garnet in the Eden
Walking through this time that we cannot return to…

A far-away, forbidden garden, guiding you through this far-reaching labyrinth, Garnet in the Eden
Walking through this time that we cannot return to, until [we reach] the place where you should return to

A deep crimson glow
Garnet in the Eden

Gardenia

Lyrics:  Klaha
Album: Gardenia (single)
Translator: Obscured Moon

Light is spilling through the morning haze, signaling the end of the eternal night
Now you open your fluttering eyelids wide in the garden of dawn

Together with you…

You, standing in the faint beams of sunlight, with the white flowers I gave you
When you touch them with those fingers and hug them to your chest, the flower buds open

Gardenia, those innocent eyes of yours, everything dear to me
Kidnapping you gently like this, holding you close, so that we will not be separated

Just like a continuation of the dream I had that day, a scene floating in the forest of recollection
In the garden where you swear your oath, the flower buds open

Gardenia, those innocent eyes of yours, everything dear to me
Kidnapping you gently like this, I want to hold you close
Gardenia, I’m wrapped in the fragrance of you and pure flowers
Kidnapping you gently like this, holding you close, so that we will not be separated

I whisper to you together with the dawn

“My beloved… Gardenia”

Beast of Blood

Artist:  Malice Mizer
Lyrics:  Klaha
Album: Beast of Blood (single)
Translator: Obscured Moon

The future is stained with fresh blood… My instincts writhe violently in agony

Place of silence, moving shadows
Crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness
Madness starting to awake
Playful desire starving of blood
Get down limitless night

Beast of Blood

Along with the scream from the death throes
Sharp claws are shining brighter
Dually obscene breaths continues
And rips apart the silence of the night
Crossing the uplifty life
Get down limitless night

Beast of Blood

My breaths intertwined with the scent of blood drift on in this night of ecstasy
The future is stained with fresh blood… My instincts writhe violently in agony

My breaths intertwined with the scent of blood drift on in this night of ecstasy

Beast of Blood

No fear, no sadness
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity
And near by the target with no more life
Red drops on my greedy lips
Falls down on the freezing ground
Get down limitless night

Beast of Blood

Spill blood on me… till it fills my body

My breaths intertwined with the scent of blood drift on in this night of ecstasy
The future is stained with fresh blood… My instincts writhe violently in agony
Desire gushes from my cold body, flowing with the red blood
Cries of pleasure echo through the night… My instincts pulse sharply
My breaths intertwined with the scent of blood drift on in this night of ecstasy
The future is stained with fresh blood… My instincts writhe violently in agony

Beast of Blood
