ケミカルピクチャーズ | Chemical Pictures - "Memento Mori" translation
Finally finished Case 2. This one was quite difficult ^^; If you know there's a mistake, please do tell me
From 「世界を撃った男 Case2」
Words: TRICKMASTER
Music: chemical pictures
Kanji:
Memento Mori
対立する宗教
共有されない歴史と理念
ぐちゃぐちゃすぎる
子供の頃教えられた
正義はでたらめだ
今何を信じ生きてる？
芸術家真実を
伝える為
政治家は
事実を
隠す為に
嘘をつくあぁ僕の
頭はきっと病気だ
思い描く程に
闇に
引きずられてく
それ以上に
病みつきになる
死を想えメメントモリ
この地球の上で人間が血を流すことすら美しく思えたりするのは
そう僕等が所詮人間だからだ
神様なんかには
なれやしねぇさ
汚い権力者がいる限り
テロリストや戦争も消えない
そもそも善悪すら都合よく人間が作った言葉でしかない
この蒼い地球は誰のモノなんだろ
愛する貴方と
生まれ育った
不確かな世界
答えはない
けど
生きてるってだけで
幸せだろう
この地球の上で人間が血を流す事すら
美しく思えたりするのは
そう僕等が所詮人間だからだ神様なんかには
なれはしないさ
Translation:
Memento Mori
Opposing religions
Disagreeing histories and ideas
It’s too messy
When I was a child, I was taught
Justice is irresponsible
Right now, what do we live to believe?
Artists
Strive to tell the truth
Politicians
Strive to hide the truth
Creating lies, ah, my
Head is definitely sick
For imagining this
Into the darkness
I want to be dragged
More and more
I’m getting obsessed
With the thought of death, memento mori
Even if on this world people shed blood, thinking beautifully is
The way we are, because, after all, we are human
Into God, or something like that
We cannot become1
As long as there are dirty powerful people
Terrorists and wars also do not cease to exist
From the beginning, there are good and evil, these are only words that humans often create2
This blue planet, whose property is it?
Along with you
I was born and raised here
An uncertain world
Is unthinkable
But
Just living
Is probably happiness
Even if on this world people shed blood, thinking beautifully is
The way we are, because, after all, we are human
Into God, or something like that
We cannot become
1 This part I found really confusing, because I think what is written ("nare ya shinee sa") is spoken language that doesn't follow proper grammar. So I just assumed that the meaning is the same as the second time the stanza is repeated with "nare ga shinai sa".
2 This part also kind of confused me because of the sentence structure, but I think this is how it was meant to mean

3 "wa" is not written, but sung
4 written "ningen" but sung "hito"
5 written "chikyuu" ("world", "planet"), but sung "hoshi" ("planet")
6 written "wa" but sung "ga" (they mean more or less the same, but in this context, "ga" emphasizes a newly introduced fact, while "wa" emphasizes the negative statement)
