| Klaha wrote this as a very "artsey", conceptual song, and the translation should be read with that in mind. There are things found in here that you would never see in Japanese, except for maybe in an old Japanese novel. Now on to the technical stuff. In the line "yoake mae no..." Klaha sung "hikari" but wrote "kousai" for "brilliance" or "splendor" instead of merely "light". I thought "light" made a better translation in this case though. And is this Kansai I hear in Klaha's lyrics, with the use of "ya"? In the line "ima homare..." he sings "karada" but writes "shitai". This also refers to the body, but generally has a meaning more like "limbs". The line "akai heya no..." is just FULL of weird things. "akai" here means "deep red" or "crimson" instead of just regular "red". Also I THINK he says "hoto ni" in the song, but the kanji is for "aze" (I believe that's how it's read), meaning "ledge". So I translated it as best I could. |
Flickering and reflecting off glass
The pale light before dawn...a flower
In a short while, you will bloom beautifully in my arms
So close your eyes
Now, hold out your prestigious arms
With a cry like a canary, cross the lake of the night
Flickering and relecting off glass
The pale light before dawn...a flower
When the morning comes, it's farewell
So until the night ends, in an outpouring of nectar
Now, wet my dry lips
With a hum like a canary, cross the darkness of the night
Flickering and reflecting off glass
The pale light before dawn...a flower
On the ledge in the red room, throw out your arms
Your empty gaze, that's still lovely
Bloom, the eternal desire
Fleeting pain until dawn...a flower
