March 11, 2011 Tsunami

I learned of the tsunami this morning on the radio while driving my dad's truck to go pick up my grandmother. I didn't realize how devastating it was until I saw the video clips.
Hang in there, Japan.

Kagami Tsuki (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Kagami Tsuki
Mirror Moon
sora ni izayou tsuki taoyaka ni eiko mitsumeteiru
hito no yo wo inishie yori utsushite kumoranu kagami no tsuki

In the sky the sixteen-day-old moon watches the graceful changes in our lives
And from this ancient world of ours a cloudless mirror of the moon is cast

Haven't Posted in Forever!

Happy late New Year.

I'm a little disappointed that I got so little done in so much time.
I just stopped by to say that I updated all of my posts in here.

I haven't translated any new songs yet.
I'm still stuck on translating the rest of the Rin' songs.
I hate having so much to do in the real world...

Anyway, look forward to the English translations of Rin' songs soon!

Kurenai (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Kurenai
A Crimson Shade
horohoro to hanabira chiruka taki no oto
amagumo no tayutai tada itsukushimu
senri no sora no kanata ichi wa no tori no habataki
yagate wa dokoka de arashi ni kawaru
namonai mono ni umare na wo mochi sadame wo tadori
kienai wadachi wo nokoshiteku
hakanai genjitsu ni hana wo sagashite
hitomi na utakatabito nani wo omou

The flower petals fall quietly to the sound of the waterfall
The drifting clouds in the sky are simply just beautiful
A thousand miles beyond the sky the flap of a bird's wings
Will eventually turn into a storm somewhere
Born without a name it carries its name and follows its fate
And leaves a hole that does not disappear
Searching for the flower in this fleeting moment of reality
Think of what those transient people hold in their eyes

Kochou no Yume (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Kochou no Yume
A Butterfly's Dream
sunda kuuki ni somaru asayake
akeru akatsuki kieru tougenkyou
hito ga kizutsuku nageki kikoyuru
mimi wo fusaide me wo tsubutte sakeru jibun ga iru

The transparent air is dyed the color of sunrise
The dawn unravels and Shangri-la disappears
People get hurt and their grief is heard
Block your ears and close your eyes to get away from yourself

ukiyo ureu koto sore wa hana ni namida sosogu koto
tayorarete sasaerare kaze susabu kumori no hi sae
kochou no yume

This fleeting life grieves for that flower we pour our tears into
Even the wild cloudy days rely on the support of the wind in
A butterfly's dream

Bibou no Kuni (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Bibou no Kuni
Land of Beauty
hana no chiriyuku mizukagami ni toki no garan no utsurou kage
sora sae mo niou mankai no mashita kara shikishima wo omou

The fall of the flowers reflect in the water the moment the temple’s shadow changes
As long as the scent of flowers in full bloom is right under the sky think of my Japan

Solemn (Rin')

Run away with, sweep away with

Never Knew What Love Meant (Rin')

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Never Knew What Love Meant

I never knew what love meant
I never knew what love meant, I never knew
I never knew what love meant
I never knew what love meant, I never knew

Every time I look in your eyes I see something I can’t deny is new
They take me someplace words just can’t describe
They bring me close to the truth that I’m telling you

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

Anti-Hero (Rin')

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

Anti-Hero

Once upon a time there was a girl
And her father was a king
And the world’s eyes were on her

And she made some mistakes
See these people wanted money
And fame she trusted them

She knows in spite of everything
These things won’t be forgotten

New Day Rising (Rin')

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

New Day Rising

I can see what’s on your mind
You’re not telling me the truth
That you’re leaving me behind
Without a trace of you

There is a new day rising
A new day rising
Rising, rising, rise without you
Rising, rising, rising

Asuka (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Asuka

Little Bird

asuka kokyou inishie no koto wa
shirazu maboroshi wo mi
shunuri no shaba
kou no nioi
moto no tama ni naru

The little bird in ancient times
Did not know about the vision I saw
The red painted carriage
And the smell of incense
Return back to their original sources

Sarasouju (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Sarasouju
The Sal Tree
sarasouju no hana shiroku

The flowers of the sal tree turn to white

toki ga kureba hana wa saku
dokoka de inochi umare
shiranai basho de kiete iku
sorasouju no hana shiroku

When the time comes for flowers to bloom
A life will be born somewhere in this world
An unknown place will begin to disappear
And the flowers of the sal tree turn to white

Doushin (Rin')

Translated by NVVICIOUS

Doushin

Morale

kono michiyukaba yuke
itsuwaru koto nakare
oku sureba michi nashi
fumi daseba michi ni naru

Thou shalt not lie
If thou go down this path
Should thy path end
Thy will not be able to step forward
