I have recently been listening to a lot of new music, partly thanks to Fafner and partly from mp3 rotation site hopping. I keep meaning to make a post to share the songs that I've been addicted to, but something trumped it. The last song of the Fafner OST2 is a lovely piece sung by what seems to be several females. A sad melody with beautiful harmony. But what made me laugh was when I saw the lyrics. OMG it's so depressing!! I don't know what I was expecting (when I first listen to a song I actually don't pay any attention to the lyrics, so I was basing my first impression solely on the music) but...it was so much better that I had to translate it. First, the song:

Mystic Girl


まだ 答えをさがしているの?
もう 翼は折れてしまった
戸惑う瞳は絶望に気付き始める

まだ 諦めてはいけないの
もう 迎えに来ないと知った
助けてくれない
約束は裏切られる

固く閉じたドアの前で
一人遊び 欠けたパズル
謎を解けば鍵を開けてくれる
ガランとした部屋の中で
昨日会った君を捜す
終わりのないかくれんぼのように

声を聴かせて、一言だけでいい
独りぼっちじゃないはずだと教えて
君がそこにいたはずだと…
それで…

悪夢ばかり続く夜が
醒めた朝にリアルになる
世界中の何もかもが全部
間に合わなくて 皆壊れてゆく
最後の審判をきくのが怖くて
みどり児の手を握り締め
明日の行方占う・・・・・

(Japanese lyrics courtesy of a animelyrics.com forum post)



Mada kotae wo sagashiteiruno?
Mou tsubasa wa oreteshimatta
Tomadou hitomi wa zetsubou ni kizukihajimeru

Mada akiramete wa ikenai no
Mou mukae ni konai to shitta
Tasuketekurenai
Yakusoku wa uragirareru

Kataku tojita da no mae de
Hitoriasobi kaketa pazuru
Nazo wo tokeba kagi wo aketekureru
Garan to shita heya no naka de
Kinou atta kimi wo sagasu
Owari no nai kakurenbou no you ni

Koe wo kikasete, hitokoto dake de ii
Hitoribotchi janai hazu da to oshiete
Kimi ga soko ni itahazuda to...
Sore de...

Akumu bakari tsuzuku yoru ga
Sameta asa ni riaru ni naru
Sekaijuu no nanimokamo ga zenbu
Ma ni awanakute minna kowareteyuku
Saigo no shinpan wo kikuno ga kowakute
Midorigo no te wo nigirishime
Asu no yukue uranau...



Are you still looking for an answer?
My wings are already broken
My bewildered eyes have begun to recognize despair

I still can't give up
I already know that no one will come for me
No one will save me
Promises are betrayed

In front of a firmly closed door
I play by myself
A missing puzzle
If I can solve the mystery the door will be unlocked
In the empty room
I search for you, whom I met yesterday
Like a never-ending game of hide and seek

Let me hear your voice, just one word is fine
Please let me know that I'm not alone
That you were there...
And then...

The night that was only full of nightmares
Becomes reality in the morning when I wake up
Everything in the world won't make it
And it all falls apart
Afraid of hearing the final judgement
I hold the baby's hand
And predict where I'll be tomorrow...


I particularly love the line "Like a never-ending game of hide and seek." It's so endlessly depressing. XDXD
