I’m being dichroic butterfly, Act Lotus ~ Pizuya’s Cell

Requested by lotushime

Notes

“訪れる日が | The day I”; literally, “The called day arrives”, but since it means basically nothing translated in this way, I’ve decided to pick up a different verb so that’d had sounded more “nice” in English without “destroying” its meaning –even if “pray” might be a little too strong, depending on how it is seen.

I’m being dichroic butterfly, Act Lotus

滲む紅色に　救いを求めて
前世から続く光が　この胸を包む

nijimu kurenai iro ni sukui wo motomete
zensei kara tsudzuku hikari ga kono mune wo tsutsumu

Inside this blurred red I seek for help
An everlasting light from the ancient times clutched to this heart

蓮の華が崩れ落ちる音も無く
色薄れて閉ざされた空への道

hasu no hana ga kuzureochiru oto mo naku
iro usurete tozasareta sora e no michi

Lotus flowers wither without even a sound
Colors faded away, shut along the sky

黒くくすむ水の中で　待ち続ける子供の眼
綺麗な蓮を咲かせるまで

kuroku kusumu mizu no naka de machi tsudzukeru kodomo no me
kirei na hasu wo sakaseru made

Inside this black, calm water, these children’s eyes will keep waiting
Until a beautiful lotus will bloom

明かりが届かない仄暗い泥に沈む
無慈悲に溶ける愛永久に響く世界へと

akari ga todokanai honogurai doro ni shizumu
mujihi ni tokeru ai towa ni hibiku sekai e to

The light doesn’t arrive, I’m sinking into this obscure mud
This love dissolved into cruelty, endlessly resounding towards this world

訪れる日が来る　世界が拒んで
排他が生み出す鬼達　静かに震える

otozureru hi ga kiru sekai ga kobande
haita ga umidasu onitachi shizuka ni furueru

The day I pray for will arrive, but the world will refuse it
It’s the exclusion that creates demons, I tremble in the calm

朽ちる亡骸を打ち付け　悲しみは風化してる
無情な想いを伝えるまで

kuchiru nakigara wo uchitsuke kanashimi wa fuuka shiteru
mushou na omoi wo tsutaeru made

I run into rotten corpses, while sorrow will keep arising
Until I’ll disclose my merciless hopes

蓮の華が崩れ落ちる音も無く
色薄れて閉ざされた空への道

hasu no hana ga kuzureochiru oto mo naku
iro usurete tozasareta sora he no michi

Lotus flowers wither without even a sound
Colors faded away, shut along the sky

明かりが届かない仄暗い泥に沈む
無慈悲に溶ける愛永久に響く世界へと

akari ga todokanai honogurai doro ni shizumu
mujihi ni tokeru ai towa ni hibiku sekai e to

The light doesn’t arrive, I’m sinking into this obscure mud
This love dissolved into cruelty, endlessly resounding towards this world
