Weight of the World/Kowareta Sekai no Uta

Keiichi Okabe ft. Marina Kawano

English translation by @why-raven

Disappearing salvation Terminated body Even now, the sky is still dark

The stopped time The silent machines That my voice can’t reach

This is my curse The depth of the sins I’ve committed Even with my corrupted soul I’ll still redeem your wish

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out That song of a broken world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a future with you Until the loving smile from that day disappears…

Overflowing greenery Wasted lives Even now, the wind is still far away

Peeling rust Twisted blade In the forest where death lurks

This is my curse The pain of killing a promise With the final dream I threw away I’ll still atone for your wish

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out The love for this corrupted world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a time together with you Until the drowning consciousness disappears gently…

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out That song of a broken world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a future with you

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out The love for this corrupted world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a time together with you

Even if my prayers won’t grant me forgiveness, I…

消えゆく救い 途絶えるカラダ 空は今も暗く

止まった時計 鳴らない機械 声届かなくて

これが僕の呪い 犯した罪の深さが キミの願い 穢れた魂抱く贖いだけど

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ あの壊レタ世界ノ歌 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただ君との未来を あの日の笑顔は愛しいまま消えて…

溢れる緑 零れる命 風は今も遠く

剥がれる錆び とうごめく刃 死が潜む森に

これが僕の呪い 約束殺す痛みが キミの願い 最後の夢を捨てた償いだけど

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ この汚れた世界の愛 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただキミとの時間を 溺れた意識は優しいまま消えて…

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ あの壊レタ世界ノ歌 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただ君との未来を

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ この汚れた世界の愛 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただキミとの時間を

祈りが赦しを得られずとも 僕は…

Rinne —Reincarnation— (acoustic ver.)

V.W.P. (Virtual Witch Phenomenon)

English translation by @why-raven

You think you’re a god? Is this a divine punishment? I’m not at your mercy

A future that will change And friends that won’t Intersecting thoughts that never go well

Flashbacks of despair I can’t keep reliving this

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I want to protect it all And lose nothing Before this fever fades into the haze Theories of hope are reborn

When I open my eyes To find myself in a similar world My knees are shaking

Escape is not an option A crumbling world lies before me

Flashbacks of intention Humanity comes to a standstill Despair rumbles from within

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I can’t lose it all again I’ve been burning with rage Don’t feel pity for me Theories of hope on repeat

I’m tired of saying goodbye If I have face it again, I will

Things I’ve lost that day I came here to get them back The soul is undressed There’s nowhere left to run Call me a fool for my ignorance But I still believe in hope

If I’m reborn again and again I’ll seize the future

神様のつもりか？ 天罰のつもりか？ 言いなりになんてなるか

変わりゆく未来と 変わらない仲間と どうにもうまくいかない交差する思考

フラッシュバックする絶望 繰り返すままじゃいられない

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 守りたいものばかりだ 全て失ってたまるか この熱が霞(かすみ)に消える前に 希望論は輪廻する

目を覚ませばそこは 同じような世界 膝が震えている

退場は許されない 目の前に広がる ボロボロに朽ちた世界

フラッシュバックする意向 人類は立ち止まる 絶望が腹を鳴らす

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 二度と失ってたまるか 怒りで身を焦がしてきた 哀れだって思わないでくれ 希望論を繰り返せ

さよならはいい飽きた 繰り返すなら何度でも 立ち向かうさ

あの日こぼれ落ちたものを 取り戻すためにここに来た 魂は着飾らないもう どこにも逃げやしない わからずやだと馬鹿にしてくれ それでも希望を信じている

輪廻するなら何度でも 未来を　掴み取れ

Nageki no Oto | Song of Lamentation

KOKIA

Romanji transliteration by @why-raven

大地に咲いた花は静かに　争いを見守っている 何かを守ろうとする度　誰かが犠牲になるの

何のための戦いだったのかと　沈黙の中で心は嘆いた Broken Blade

今は信じよう　未来はこの想いに値する価値のあるものだと 一つの愛を守るため　すり抜けていった　全てに意味があったと…

このまま時が止まればいい　愛する人が笑う

誰もがそんな日常を望んだだけ　それなのに今　心は嘆いた Broken Blade

命あればいいと　思っていた　大事なもの　奪い去られてしまうまで 壊れ行く　心の音　聞こえた気がした　このままでいいのか？と…

今は信じよう　未来はこの想いに値する価値のあるものだと 一つの愛を守るため　すり抜けていった　全てに意味があったと…

Over the clouds

alan (Alan Dawa Dolma)

English translation by @why-raven

The moon that quietly soaked in sadness Paints the land red and disappears

Can you hear my voice? In this bloodthirsty era Can I continue to be myself?

Tears that overflow from your heart Are surely proof of your wish for a future Look ahead, don’t lament your current powerlessness You can get it over Over the clouds

The season changes in the rustling wind To the prelude of an endless battle

Why do people forget In this common, ordinary life It holds irreplaceable things?

Even when your wings have become tattered If you hold feelings for someone No matter the pain you face, you can still fly again You can get it over Over the clouds

Can you hear my voice? In this bloodthirsty era Can I continue to be myself?

Tears that overflow from your heart Are surely proof of your wish for a future Even when your wings have become tattered If you hold feelings for someone No matter the pain you face, you can still fly again You can get it over Over the clouds You can get it over Over the clouds

The blood that flows is the light of life (The light of life) The light in the darkness is the light of life (The light of life)

悲しみに濡れた月が静かに 大地を赤く赤く染めて消える

僕の声が聞こえますか 殺伐としたこの時代で 僕は僕でいられますか

ココロ溢れ出す涙は きっと未来を求めてる証なの 今の無力を嘆かないで前を見つめて You can get it over Over the clouds

季節を移ろう風のざわめき 終わりの見えない戦いへの序曲

人はなぜに忘れてくの ありきたりのこの日常に かけがえのないものがあると

ボロボロになった羽根でも 誰かを想うその気持ちがあるなら どんな苦しみに向かっても飛んで行けるさ You can get it over Over the clouds

僕の声が聞こえますか 殺伐としたこの時代で 僕は僕でいられますか

ココロ溢れ出す涙は きっと未来を求めてる証なの ボロボロになった羽根でも 誰かを想うその気持ちがあるなら どんな苦しみに向かっても飛んで行けるさ You can get it over Over the clouds You can get it over Over the clouds

over the clouds — alan.

The moon that quietly soaked in sadness Paints the land red and disappears Can you hear my voice? In this bloodthirsty era Can I continue to be myself?

rapport — tatsuya kitani.

In the tranquil solitude I wished for a quiet end I felt sad for something inside me that was slowly going cold But it didn’t matter To love someone and to want to be loved It means that there is an equal amount of pain involved That’s why I kept my heart closed But now you have entered deep into it

song of lamentation — kokia.

Every time I tried to protect something Someone was sacrificed Wondering what we’ve been fighting for My heart lamented in silence

I thought that as long as I live, I’d be fine Until something I treasure was taken away from me I felt like I could hear the sound of my heart breaking Is it okay to go on like this?

truth — arashi.

I can’t return (after the tears that fell) Memories swirling (the colors of freezing tears) At the end of this world where everything was taken away

No matter what kind of ending I create, my heart remains a mystery Like the darkness that approaches the truth No matter what kind of world I create, I can’t see tomorrow Like a lily, pure and untainted My wishes remain transparent

weight of the world (japanese) — keiichi okabe ft. marina kawano.

This is my curse The depth of the sins I’ve committed Even with my corrupted soul I’ll still redeem your wish

This is my curse The pain of killing a promise With the final dream I threw away I’ll still atone for your wish

chaotic alignment. Doesn’t like to follow rules; she prefers to do whatever she wants, whenever she feels like it. (She’s fairly docile to Yiuno, though.)

greed. She’s mostly motivated by monetary gains. She believes that she’s forever poor, and she doesn’t like to work for free. (Suspected to be a trait she’s gained from Yiuno, but no one knows for sure.)

imagination — spyair.

innocent starter — nana mizuki.

I whisper to you, the one who gave me my “beginning” Of the promise that we made, just the two of us The magic of eternity that never changes Even if our future is captured, even if it vanishes far away I’ll remember your clear voice Call my name And smile like you did that day

troublemaker — arashi.

Wondering about the dreams I’d almost forgotten Searching for the love I’d nearly lost I don’t need your tears anymore Is it too late? There’s nothing wrong with that! Wondering about the existence of rumors That chilled the atmosphere of the city Just smile here to dodge a bluff Isn’t it okay to just take it easy?

weight of the world (english version) — keiichi okabe ft. j’nique nicole.

Still, we’re gonna shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It’s like I’m carrying the weight of the world I hope that someway, somehow That I could save every one of us But the truth is that I’m only one girl Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life Come to life
