Here's another one I had lying around.
The kanji are off the
net, unfortunately that page doesn't exist anymore, I just checked. Ooops.
Romaji and translation are done by me.
It's my favourite BORN song, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Please don't repost without permission, thank you.
涙彩の花
俯く人達 雑草が笑う 日の消えた時代 光が欲しい
届かない想い歌う 届けたい だから歌う らららって
ツギハギの幸せなら今すぐに捨て去ればいい
笑いたい
芽生えた 罪と罰 泳ぐ 華憐
いつの日も いつまでも 枯らせはしない
さよなら 血で血を洗った日々よ
もう二度と 泣きたくはない だから歌うよ
渇いた地の月夜 誰かに響きますように
届かない想い歌う 届けたいだから歌う らららって
ツギハギの幸せなら今すぐに捨て去ればいい
芽生えた 罪と罰 泳ぐ 華憐
いつの日も いつまでも 枯らせはしない
さよなら 血で血を洗った日々よ
もう二度と 泣きたくはない だから歌うよ

Tear-coloured flowers
People who hang their heads weed laughs (1) in times when the daylight has vanished they want light
I sing my feelings that won't reach through I want them to get through so I sing like lalala
If it's a patched happiness, then you should abandon it right away (2)
I want to laugh
The sprouted sins and punishments petal-pity [1] that swims
Whenever forever I won’t let them dry out
Good bye, days that washed blood with blood
I don't want to cry ever again so I sing
So that I may be heard by someone far away in a moonlit night of earth that had gotten thirsty
I sing my feelings that won't reach through I want them to get through so I sing like lalala
If it's a patched happiness, then you should abandon it right away
The sprouted sins and punishments petal-pity that swims
Whenever forever I won’t let them dry out
Good bye, days that washed blood with blood
I don't want to cry ever again so I sing
A melody that is filled with love
notes
[1] So this 華憐/Karen normally is used for female names, as Ryouga might have done here, but I decided to translate it literally, since a) it contains 'flower', and the whole song has a flower theme, b) maybe it's just me, but a random woman's name doesn't really make a lot of sense here, c) Karen, written differently, could also mean "cute", "pitiful", or "merciful".
(1) To this day, this line still seems very ambiguous to me. I can't quite explain the weed, but I've got a theory. In Japan, sometimes people are likened to weed - it's those that don't look like anything, are neither pretty nor successful, but at least they're hard to kill. Whether he likens the people hanging their heads with the weed, or it's two different kinds of people, I do not know. Feel free to discuss, or tell me if you know ;D
(2) Patched, as in patched or cobbled together. Basically, he's saying, he doesn't want a patchwork happiness, and would gladly let his go, if it turned out to be one.
