[翻訳] 櫻井敦司 - SACRIFICE

Apr 25, 2011 20:43

I thought it was more than fair if I started to do something with the songs I keep over-listening to these days.
So just in case I'll remain in song-translation mood, prepare for Sakurai-spam. No matter how much they might have been translated before |D

Alas, I don't have the original lyrics. goo usually is accurate though. For this one, the lyrics are from here.

Feel free to repost with credits~

There's a PV, too, but I put up this, because... well, because it's live |3 Wallow in Acchiness.

SACRIFICE
何が欲しい 何を望む 翳りゆく世界
奪えばいい 信じるなら 明日など知らず

辺りは死に満ちて 後ずさりも出来ない 突き抜けろ

引きずってゆく 黒い影 俺は薄汚れている

それでも 今は 生きて 歌え

声を殺し涙を流してる 「さようなら…」と
ただ一つ この望み叶うならば ぬくもりを…

風も無い 星も無い ゆく当てなど無い

今は生き抜いて この夜に歌え

暗闇にまぎれて 逃げてゆく 影がひとつ
捧げよう 悪魔へと 望むならば 何もかも 捧げる

愛しい者よ この胸に深く刻もう

SACRIFICE
nani ga hoshii nani wo nozomu kageriyuku sekai
ubaeba ii shinjiru nara ashita nado shirazu

atari wa shi ni michite atozusari mo dekinai  tsukinukero

hikizutteyuku kuroi kage ore wa usuyogoreteiru

sore demo ima wa ikite utae

koe wo koroshi namida wo nagashiteru 「sayounara… 」to
tada hitotsu kono nozomi kanau naraba nukumori wo…

kaze mo nai hoshi mo nai yukuate nado nai

ima wa ikinuite kono yoru ni utae

kurayami ni magirete nigeteyuku kage ga hitotsu
sasageyou  akuma he to nozomu naraba nanimokamo sosogeru

itoshii mono yo kono mune ni fukaku kizamou

SACRIFICE
What do you want what do you wish for world that is going to darken [1]
It's okay to snatch it away if you believe without even knowing the likes of tomorrow

What is nearby expires into death I cannot even step back pierce through it [2]

It's going to force me along a black shadow I'm getting slightly dirty

And yet for now live sing

I kill my voice and tears are overflowing saying "good bye…"
If just  this one wish were to come true grant me warmth…

There's not even wind not even stars I don't even have anything I aim to go to [3]

For now, survive in this night, sing

Slipped into the darkness there's one shadow that is going to escape
Let's sacrifice it to the nightmare if you wish for it I'll sacrifice  everything and anything

Beloved one I'll mince you deeply into this chest

notes
[1] He could as well be talking about himself here. This is valid throughout the song.
[2] Imperative.
[3] In the lyrics I got here, yuku isn't written in kanji. That way it could both mean 'go' and 'die'. In the sense of the latter, this line might mean something like "aim/expectations to die"

I did this kind of quickly, so I hope I didn't miss anything. Either way, love the song :3 In fact it was one of my very first Sakurai solo songs, I already came across it a couple of years ago. The full force of Atcchi-fever never got me before now though, hah.

If you have any comments and objections, go ahead~
