Sai no Kami (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Sai no Kami
The God of Travellers
renzan wo shitagaete minamo ni (choubou zekka to) sugata wo utsusu
moya orite shiroku hikaru namida no ue ni utsusu
ume no (ume no) ka no (ka no) soba ni sae aru
fugaku kizen to takaku sobietatsu
hitotoki mo sugata todomezu ochiyuku (shibuki ga toutou to) kawagarasu tobi egaku shiroi monyou
ranman no hanasakasu hiun no kindachi no hi (tada yume no gotoku)
furuku kokemushite shirushi kieusu
The shape of the mountain valley (a beautiful view) is reflected on the water’s surface
The haze descends emulating the white shining tears above
The smell (the smell) of apricots (apricots) is even nearby
The fortitude of Mt. Fuji stands tall, towering over the land
In an instant shapes cease to exist (splash!) the brown dipper flies, making a white pattern
Glorious flowers erect the tragic fate of our kings (as if they were merely a dream)
Now old and covered in moss the memorial disappears

Hajimari no Toki (ayaka)

Not the best since I did it on the fly at three in the morning.
Will update later with new translation.


Translated by NVVICIOUS
Romaji from xayaka3fanx
Hajimari no Toki
When It Begins
kanashimi ga yasashisa ni kawatte wakare ga deai wo yobiyoseru
sonna koto wo kurikaeshiteku tabi otona ni natte yuku no ka na
nani wo shinji doko ni susumu no jibun shika shiru hazu no nai mirai e mukai
Sadness changes into gentleness, separation calls for an encounter
Each time each of those things are repeated I wonder if we become adults
Where will what you believe in take you to?
No one but me should know what the future brings
Life boku wo ikiru mogaki nagara demo jibun to yuu kokoro de
Life naita kinou tachidomatta kinou subete asu ni tsunagaru
me no mae ni aru tobira wo hirakeba hajimari no toki
Life I live even though I am struggling in my heart
Life I cried yesterday, the stillness of yesterday all bridges to tomorrow
Before my eyes the door will open when it begins

Sea of Tranquility (Rin')

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Sea of Tranquility
I feel the sound of rain
When I lay with you
You are my rest
My peace
The place where I sleep
To the sound of
The waves of you crashing into me
Makes me calm
Gives life meaning
Brings me peace
You are my sea of tranquility

Voices of a Forgotten History (Jon Thao)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Voices of a Forgotten History
Generations upon a time where history scarred itself a fucked up face
Peace travel down a rugged path and became lost in its own existence
We have become the cavities stretched into society's fangs
Consecrated in the decay of our bloodstained past
So now our slained traditions in my veins
And though the pain is been instrumental
We continue to walk to different beats
Because there is no fuckin' peace

See I discovered the word "Hmong" pasted on the back of a milk carton with no reward
Chugged down by cultural braggadocios oblivious to the fact there was nothing more
Than assimulated holes
Victims of white America's oppression
And though their aggression
Once sung glorified songs of death and revolution
The weight of a guns supporting tickling my spine*
So I choose to kill with my tongue

Tree of Sorrow (Kanon Wakeshima)

Translated by NVVICIOUS
Tree of Sorrow
kotoba yori kotae yori
tashika na nukumori wo namida no sukima kara
kogarete motomete iru no
More than words, more than answers
This particular warmth coming from between my tears
Is what I yearn for, search for
oka ni haeta tsumi no ki
mujitsu no shisha wo hitomi ni yakitsuke
shizuka ni nageku tamashii wo yadoshite
uttaeru omoi kizukarenai mama kasurete kieru
The tree of sorrow stands on a hill
The guiltless dead is burned into its memory
It quietly grieves as new souls are born
Feelings that need to be heard left unnoticed will fade and disappear

Voices of Sorrow (New Breed)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Voices of Sorrow
suav txij li thaum lub teb chaws ntxeev
vaj pov tau tso looj ceeb khiav tawm nplog teb mus lawm
phaj thiab laj los kav lub teb chaws
hmoob nplog pub thawj tau txais txoj kev nyob txom nyem

nplog liab ua phem zuj zus rau hmoob
sau sev lia tej qoob loo nrhiav txim rau cov txawj ntse
cov neeg zoo raug ntes thoob nplog teb
tseg poj tub sev ua ntsuag txiv mus lawm ntsiag to
