lyrics: Kagerou, Michiyuki
And finishing off for tonight, the rest of xxxHOLiC and the Loveless ending.
...why can my roommates not go to bed before three in the morning? >_< Or at least let me?
Kagerou
Vocal: BUCK-TICK
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume tobitatsu kagerou koi kogareru
Me ni utsuru no ga warui yume nara me wo tsuburu no wa warui kuse na no
Tada ima dake wa yoishirete itai ramushu no umi ni shizumu taiyou
Kuruoshii dareka no namae kuchizusamu
Nante suteki na kono yo wa yume da anata to yume de aeru
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume tobitatsu kagerou koi kogareru
Anata wo omoeba yume ni yume ni yume miru afureru yorokobi towa ni towa ni
Moetsukite yuku yume no kagaribi nami ni kirameku inochi no zanshi
Kuruoshii dareka no omokage yurete iru
Maiagaru you ni maichiru you ni anata to yume de odoru
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume tobitatsu kagerou koi kogareru
Anata wo omoeba yume ni yume ni yume miru afureru yorokobi towa ni towa ni
Itooshii anata wo omoi yami kakeru
Tobira ga hiraku sekai ga hiraku kono yo ni ikita akashi
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume tobitatsu kagerou koi kogareru
Anata wo omoeba yume ni yume ni yume miru afureru yorokobi towa ni towa ni
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume tobitatsu kagerou koi kogareru
Anata wo omoeba yume ni yume ni yume miru afureru yorokobi towa ni towa ni
Usubeni midarete manatsu no yo no yumeyume
Translation:
Mayfly
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams, a mayfly takes flight, yearning for love
If you're having nightmares, it's because closing your eyes is a bad habit
Just for this moment, I want to be intoxicated by something, a sun sinking in a sea of rum
I'm madly humming someone's name to myself
How wonderful it is - this world is a dream, and in dreams I can meet you
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams, a mayfly takes flight, yearning for love
If I think of you, dreaming in a dream in a dream, my joy overflows everlastingly, everlastingly
The bonfire of my dreams is burning itself out, the vestiges of its life flickering in the waves
Someone's face is swaying madly
Like soaring, like dancing and falling at once, I dance with you in my dreams
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams, a mayfly takes flight, yearning for love
If I think of you, dreaming in a dream in a dream, my joy overflows everlastingly, everlastingly
Thoughts of you, my beloved, race through the darkness
The door is opening, the world is opening - proof that we lived in this age (1)
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams, a mayfly takes flight, yearning for love
If I think of you, dreaming in a dream in a dream, my joy overflows everlastingly, everlastingly
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams, a mayfly takes flight, yearning for love
If I think of you, dreaming in a dream in a dream, my joy overflows everlastingly, everlastingly
In the chaotic crimson of midsummer night dreams
(1) "Yo" is a fairly broad word in this case; it can mean the world, society, the times, and so on.

Translation:
The Land We Travel
Even if you hold me until the ache becomes unbearable,
the two of us can never become one
In a place deeper than gentleness,
touching each other only brings pain
Please bind us together
The two of us don't dream any more
Through our confusion and hesitation, we take each other's hand
and continue walking
toward a cruel dawn
Even now,
true words must surely be
somewhere in the true world,
hidden away unspoken
in our reticent night
Until we exchanged kisses, I didn't realize
that we had met in order to know loneliness
But even so, even now, I tremble in pleasure
at having been able to meet you
Please support my heart
The two of us don't dream any more
and we won't run away to somewhere warm
We'll surely pass through
this cruel dawn
Someday, surely,
in that abandoned, peaceful stillness,
we'll continue to search for true words
in order to hurt each other
with our love
Even if you hold me until the ache becomes unbearable,
the two of us can never become one
O cold star of the predawn sky,
please illuminate this land
that only the two of us travel
(1) "Michiyuki" is literally a lyrical description of the scenery as one travels.
(2) The kanji "chuucho" (hesitation, indecision) is given the reading "tomado(u)" (to be bewildered).
