Toumyu: Shizuka no Umi no Paraiso

My mind is still totally focused on Paraiso. I’ll just roll with it while it lasts. Today, please enjoy some (quick) lyric translations.

Official lyrics obviously aren’t out yet, so the translations may not be 100% accurate.

BEWARE SPOILERS!

AKEGUREDOKI (tentative title)
by Matsui Gou & Buzen Gou

The distant roaring of the sea lingers in my ears.
Some day.
The sacrament of penance.
The gurgle of gushing blood.*

The weak light of the morning moon
will expose
my blood-stained skin.
It’s still dark right now.

Anyone can hear the distant roaring of the sea
carried on the wind.
I can hear it too.
The song of the ocean.

Do you see the end of the night,
the break of dawn?
Do you hear the cries of penitence,
the song of forgiveness?

If it’s still dark,
wait for the morning with me.

*This sentence translation is probably wrong. My mind finds itself unable to process the Japanese sentence at this moment. 吸い尽くした地の唸り or 吸い尽くした血の唸り？Suggestions are welcome.

OSHIETE (tentative title)
by Sakichi (?) & Brother

Unable to choose the place and time,
we were born here and now.
Because of our mum and dad,
we came into this world here and now.

The blueness of the sky and sea, the lives of you and me.
Tell me how to draw the boundary, please.

Good and evil, Heaven and Hell.
Tell me how to distinguish the boundary, please.

Won’t anyone explain to me all that’s important?
Won’t anyone answer me all what’s important?

The reason we live.
The reason we die.
Tell me, please

Tell me…

Nothing as distracting as a new show. I was finally making some headway on Tousute’s Tenden when Paraiso dropped…

So, of course, I didn’t spend this afternoon translating some bits and pieces of Paraiso, instead of continuing on Tenden…

…

BEWARE PARAISO SPOILERS! (TEXT ONLY! NO VIDEO!)

Only sharing one scene. Some of the translations are still a bit rough around the edges, but… you’ll get the idea.

MAKING UMEBOSHI feat. HYUGA & URASHIMA

Hyuga: Today I’ll succeed! To minimize the chance of failure, I should keep the salinity at 18%. However, if I do, they won’t exceed expectations.

Urashima: Brother Hachisuka! Kamekichi! Where are you? Don’t tell me Hachisuka mounted Kamekichi and left for Ryuuguu Castle? No, of course not! Hyuga! Have you seen my brother Hachisuka?

Hyuga: I haven’t seen him.

Urashima: Where did they go? By the way, what are you doing?

Hyuga: I’m going to make pickled plums.
