Letra - ih=fao-i iyon-du;

Y haciendo una breve pausa con Ayashi (ademas del hiatus no anunciado que me tome ultimamente), hoy publico la traduccion para la letra de la última canción que nos ha sido dada para Surge Concerto, la cual expresa los sentimientos de Ion luego de todo el tiempo que ha pasado desde el final de Ar nosurge.

ih=fao-i iyon-du; ih=fao-i iyon-du;
(I'll Always Think of You/Siempre Pensaré en Ti) 

 Composition, Arrangement, Lyrics, Vocals and Chorus/Composición, Arreglos, Letra, Vocales y Coros: Akiko Shikata

I wish for us to be connected
Deseo que estemos conectados

i-tes ih-ne rei nh soh-nh ih-ne a-z ahih=aa-wei-ea;

What I wish to transmit are my feelings, all of them
Lo que deseo transmitirte son mis sentimientos, todos ellos

dei za-fou-du ahih=u-ja-ia

I'll make a miracle happen.
Causaré un milagro.

hyu-me-re ahih=u-ja-i;
hyu-me-re ahih=u-ja-i;
I will become a Song.
Me volveré una Canción.

もしも　わたしが　優しい歌になれるなら
世界の幸せを　願うの
moshi mo watashi ga yasashii uta ni nareru nara
sekai no shiawase wo negau no
If I became a gentle song,
would I wish for the world's happiness?
Si me volviese una canción gentil,
¿desearía la felicidad del mundo?

だけど　今　この胸に　響く旋律（メロディー）は
優しくないの　正しくないの
dakedo ima kono mune ni hibiku merodii wa
yasashikunai no tadashikunai no
But is the melody resounding in my chest now
not gentle? Not righteous?
¿Pero acaso la melodía que resuena en mi pecho ahora
no es gentil? ¿No es recta?

iyon ih nh ahih=zwee-yan-i;
iyon ih nh ahih=zwee-yan-i;
We're in a tortuous position,
Estamos en una posición tortuosa,
iyon nh ih ahih=zwee-yan-i;
iyon nh ih ahih=zwee-yan-i;
both you and me
tú y yo.

答えが　迷子になる

I'm at a loss for an answer
No tengo una respuesta para ello

dei ahih=miu-n-i
dei ahih=miu-n-i
It's so harsh
Es tan duro

It's so painful
Es tan doloroso

あなたと　心　触れ合いたくて
anata to kokoro fureaitakute
I want our hearts to touch each other
Quiero que nuestros corazones se toquen el uno al otro

もういちど

Once more
Una vez más

届けて　今　気づいて　今
わたしは　ここにいるよ

Reach now. Realize now.
I'm right here.
Alcanza ahora. Notalo ahora.
Estoy justo aquí.

奏でて　今　わがままな詩を
罪深い　わたしを　赦してくれますか？
kanadete ima wagamamana uta wo

I sing now this selfish Song.
Would you forgive me, as deep in sin as I am?
Canto ahora esta egoísta Canción.
¿Me perdonarías a pesar de lo embarrada que estoy en pecados?

ねえ　あなた

Can you hear me, You?
¿Puedes escucharme, Tú?

もしも　わたしが　優しい歌になれなくても
あなたはあなたで　いてくれますか？

Even if I didn't become a gentle song,
Would you still accept me?
Aún si no me volviese una canción gentil,
¿Igual me aceptarías?

届けて　今　気づいて　今
わたしは　ここに　ここにいるから

Reach now. Realize now.
Because I'm here. I'm right here.
Alcanza ahora. Notalo ahora.
Porque estoy aquí. Estoy justo aquí.

伝えて　今　わたしの全てを
時間（トキ）をこえて　次元をこえても

I'll convey everything I feel now
Even if I have to cross time, even if I have to cross the dimensions for it
Transmitiré todo lo que siento ahora
Aunque tenga que cruzar el tiempo, aunque tenga que cruzar las dimensiones para ello

あいたいの

Even if this is a transient warmth,
Even if this is a momentary happiness,
Aunque esto sea una calidez pasajera,
Aunque esto sea una felicidad momentánea,

奏でて　今　わがままな詩を
あなたの傍で　あなたを感じたくて
kanadete ima wagamamana uta wo

I sing now this selfish Song.
I want to be with you and feel your presence
Canto ahora esta egoísta Canción.
Quiero estar contigo y sentir tu presencia

ねえ　あなた
nee anata
Can you hear me, dear?
¿Puedes escucharme, querido?

ih=fao-i iyon-du;
ih=fao-i iyon-du;
I'll always think of you. Siempre pensaré en ti.

Letra - Koi Kazoe

Prosiguiendo con Ayashi, aqui tenemos la cancion siguiente, la cual esta demas decir que es un rearreglo y expansión de una de las canciones mas viejas de Akiko, la cual aparecio por primera vez en su album ultra-limitado Kurenawi. Con esto además queda saldada la deuda que les tengo desde hace años con la letra de la versión de Kurenawi, ya que las primeras seis líneas de esta versión son las mismas que las de Kurenawi.

Como detalle extra, es una canción sobre el despecho y la locura que le siguen, muy a pesar de la velocidad que la música toma a partir de cierto punto.

恋ヒ数え (Koi Kazoe)
(Counting the Loves/Contando los Amores)

Composition & Arrangement/Composicion y Arreglos: Akiko Shikata
Lyrics/Letra: Tomoko Shinoda
Vocals & Chorus/Vocales y Coros: Akiko Shikata

いずこへ埋めましょうか
咲き終えりし想いを
いずこへ棄てましょうか
亡くしましょうか
izuko e umemashou ka
sakioerishi omoi wo
izuko e sutemashou ka
nakumashimashou ka
Where should I bury these
feelings that have finished blooming?
Where should I throw them away?
Should I lose them?
¿Dónde debería enterrar esos
sentimientos que han acabado de florecer?
¿Adónde debería desecharlos?
¿Debería perderlos?

どこまで紡ぎましょうか
恋ひし哀し年月
どこまで織りましょうか
沙羅に　永きと
doko made tsumugimashou ka
koishikanashi toshitsuki
doko made orimashou ka
shara ni tooki to
How far should I spin into thread these
lovely and pitiful months and years?
How far should I weave them?
As eternally as the sal tree?
¿Cuán lejos debería hilar esos
adorados y lamentables meses y años?
¿Cuando lejos debería tejerlos?
¿Tan eternamente como el sal?

いずこへと埋めましょうか
いずこへと棄てましょうか
izuko e to umemashou ka
izuko e to sutemashou ka
Where should I bury them?
Where should I throw them away?
¿Dónde debería enterrarlos?
¿Dónde debería desecharlos?

薄墨重ねて　ゆるり霞む朧
出口は　黄泉路と　涙零してゆく
usuzumi kasanete yururi kasumu oboro
deguchi wa yomiji to namida koboshiteyuku
The layers of diluted ink slowly blur and turn hazy,
the tears spill as I reach the exit, the road to the underworld.
Las capas de tinta diluida lentamente se emborronan y vuelve difusas,
las lágrimas se derrama mientras llego a la salida, el camino al inframundo.

まわれ　まわれ　ハ千代のひびき
愛し厭としと　指を折って廻れ
maware maware yachiyo no hibiki
itooshi itooshi to yubi wo ottemaware
Cycle, cycle, echo of eight thousand years.
As I keep counting daisies with my fingers, cycle.
Cicla, cicla, eco de ocho mil años.
Mientras sigo contando margaritas con mis dedos, cicla.

いずこへと埋めましょうか
いずこへと棄てましょうか
izuko e to umemashou ka
izuko e to sutemashou ka
Where should I bury them?
Where should I throw them away?
¿Dónde debería enterrarlos?
¿Dónde debería desecharlos?

いずこへ遣りましょうか
褪せし枯れし想いを
いずこへ流しましょうか
水面遠くと
izuko e yarimashou ka?
oseshi kareshi omoi wo
izuko e nagashimashou ka
minamo tooku to
Where should I dispatch
these faded, withered feelings to?
Where will the faraway water's
surface carry them off?
¿Adónde debería despachar
esos desvanecidos, marchitos sentimientos?
¿Adónde se los llevará la lejana
superficie del agua?

宵闇灯し火　そろり映る影絵
扉は岩戸と　嘘に囚われてく
yoiyami tomoshibi sorori utsuru kagee
tobira wa iwato to uso ni torawareteku
The lamp slowly projects silhouettes at dusk,
the door is imprisoned by the lie of it being a rock gate.
La lámpara lentamente proyecta siluetas al ocaso,
la puerta está aprisionada por la mentira de ser un portal de roca.

まわれ　まわれ　十六夜の道
乞われ　壊れて　息を切って廻れ
maware maware izayoi no michi
koware kowarete ikiwokitte maware
Cycle, cycle, road of the sixteenth-day moon,
beg, break and gasp for breath as you cycle.
Cicla, cicla, camino de la luna del decimosexto día,
ruega, rómpete y resuella mientras ciclas.

幾年に永久に
袖乾く間もなく夢に　浮かされてゆく
ikutose ni tokoshie ni
sode kawakumonaku yume ni ukasareteyuku
Amidst many years, amidst eternity,
carried away in a dream whose tears haven't dried yet.
En medio de muchos años, en medio de la eternidad,
cargada por un sueño cuyas lágrimas ni siquiera se han secado.

漁り火か狐火か
彼岸は鬼の火か
いざふみ　いざゆかん　焼け跡の夜半に
isaribi ka kitsunebi ka
higan wa oni no hi ka
iza fumi iza yukan yakeato no yowa ni
Is it a fire for luring fishes? Is it a will-o'-the-wisp?
Is the nirvana the oni's fire?
Come, step in. Come, go ahead into the midnight of a fire's ruins.
¿Es un fuego para atraer a los peces? ¿Es un fuego fatuo?
¿Es el nirvana el fuego del oni?
Ven, da un paso adelante. Ven, avanza hacia la medianoche de las ruinas de un incendio.

宴の　終わりにしんと　狂う恋路
明けても　黄泉路と　ひとり駆られてく
utage no owari ni shinto kuruu koiji
aketemo yomiji to hitori karareteyuku
The banquet's end is a deadly silent mad romance,
even when dawn breaks, I'll be driven to the road to the underworld all alone.
El fianl del banquete es un romance loco y mortalmente silencioso,
aunque amanezca, seré empujada al camino al inframundo completamente sola.

まどえ　まどえ　うたかたの蝉
をかし　可笑しと　衣解いて舞え
madoe madoe utakata no semi
wokashi wokashi to koromo toite mae
Be bewildered, be bewildered, ephemeral cicada.
Absurdly, ridiculously, take off your garments and dance.
Confundete, confundete, cigarra efímera.
Absurdamente, rídiculamente, quítate tus ropas y baila.

まわれ　まわれ　ハチ代に迷い
誤め　殺めて　絆切ってまわれ
maware maware hachiyo ni mayoi
ayame ayamete kizuna kitte maware
Cycle, cycle, lost amidst eight thousand years,
err, kill and rip off your bonds as you cycle.
Cicla, cicla, perdida entre ocho mil años,
erra, mata y rompe tus lazos mientras ciclas.

朱に酔って　嗤え
ake ni yotte warae
Get drunk in crimson and laugh!
¡Emborrachate en el carmesí y ríe!

Letra - Yomosugara Teiryuujo

 Y retomando finalmente las traducciones para Ayashi, aqui tenemos la proxima canción. Tiene aires algo meláncolicos, ya que habla sobre la pérdida de un ser querido y de buscarlo incensamente, a pesar de que la música tiene un sonido bastante movido. También he notado que tanto en esta canción como en Haikyo to Rakuen Akiko ha usado sonidos que hasta entonces sólo había escuchado como parte de la soundfont de The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

ヨモスガラ停留所 (Yomosugara Teiryuujo)
(All-Night Bus Stop/Parada de Bus de Toda la Noche)

Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement, Vocals & Chorus/Letra, Composición, Arreglos, Vocales y Coros: Akiko Shikata

ネムノキ香る道　夜は浅く
夢の羽音　遠いかけて
見慣れた坂道を　駆け上がれば
―――――見知らぬ縁ルが始まる
nemunoki kaoru michi yoru wa asaku
yume no haoto oikakete
miakogareta sakamichi wo kakeagareba
--------------mishiranu yoru ga hajimaru
In a shallow night in which the road is covered in the silk trees' fragrance,
I'll chase after the wingbeats of dreams.
Once I run up the familiar hill road,
---------------an unfamiliar boundary will begin.
En una noche ligera en la que el camino se cubre de la fragancia de los árboles de la seda,
perseguiré el batir de las alas de los sueños.
En cuanto suba el conocido camino de la colina,
---------------un borde desconocido comenzará.

足元からするり　逃げた影法師
僕の欠片を盗んで
木立のトンネルで　はぐれ探し行けば
光る　いつものバス停
ashimoto kara sururi nigeta kageboushi
boku no kakera wo nuzunde
kodachi no tonneru de haguresagashiyukeba
hikaru itsumo no basutei
The sillhouette that slipt away from under my feet
stole shards of me.
Once I got lost looking for it in the tunnel from the grove of trees
there I found the usual shining bus stop.
La silueta que se deslizó desde debajo de mis pies
robó trozos de mí.
En cuanto me perdí buscándola en el túnel del claro de árboles
allí encontré la típica parada de bus brillante.

0時発　ハザマバス
探し者　あるなら終点はお好みで
zero-ji hatsu hazamabasu
sagashimono aru nara shuuten wa okonomi de
The Intestice Bus that departs at 0 'o clock
has a last stop that is up to your choice if you're looking for someone.
El Bus Intersticial que sale a las 0 en punto
tiene una última parada que depende de tu elección si estás en busca de alguien.

ヨモスガラ停留所
ひとりぼっち　おいてきぼりの
僕はどこへ行けばいい
yomosugara teiryuujo
hitoribocchi oitekibori no
boku wa doko e yukebaii
The All-Night Bus Stop.
Now I have been left all alone,
where should I go?
La Parada de Bus de Toda la Noche.
Ahora que me he quedado solo,
¿adónde debería ir?

窓に透けた夜を　泳ぐ蜉蝣の
声ききたくて　頬を寄せ
緩やかな振動　身を任せば
零れ落ちた　いつかの歌
mado ni suketa yoru wo oyogu kagerou no
koe kikitakute hoho wo yose
yuruyakana shindou mi wo makaseba
koboreochita itsuka no uta
Wanting to hear the voices of the dragonflies that swim
through the night that went through my window, I put my cheeks against it.
Leaving myself to the mercy of the slow vibrations,
there is a song I heard sometime ago that got spilled all over.
Queriendo escuchar las voces de las libélulas que nadan
por la noche que atravesó mi ventana, apoyo mis mejillas contra ella.
Entregándome a la merced de las lentas vibraciones;
hay una canción que escuché hace tiempo y que fue derramada por doquier.

願い事　一つだけ叶うなら
あの日　あの時　あの場所へ
negaigoto hitotsu dake kanau nara
ano hi ano toki ano basho e
If just one of my wishes could be granted,
it'd be to go to that day, to that time, to that place.
Si sólo uno de mis deseos pudiese cumplirse,
sería ir a ese día, a ese momento, a ese lugar.

ヨモスガラ停留所
今宵はきっと　旅立ち日和
お隣は　空席のままで
yomosugara teiryuujo
koyoi wa kitto tabidachi hiyori
otonari wa kuuseki de
The All-Night Bus Stop.
Tonight will surely have the proper weather for a departure
with an empty seat next to me.
La Parada de Bus de Toda la Noche.
Esta noche de seguro tendremos el clima apropiado para una partida
con un asiento vacío junto a mí.

月満ちて　星廻り
月欠けて　星流れ
tsuki michite hoshi meguri
tsuki kakete hoshi nagare
The moon waxes, the stars circle.
The moon wanes, the stars fall.
La luna se llena, las estrellas ciclan.
La luna mengua, las estrellas caen.

穴あきの　僕の心
止め処なく　流れゆく
あの季節　あの景色　あの歌も　君も
anaaki no boku no kokoro
tomedonaku nagareyuku
ano kisetsu ano keshiki ano uta mo kimi mo
My gouged heart
continues endlessly flowing back
to that season, to that scenery, to that song, to you.
Mi corazón atravesado
continúa incensantemente fluyendo de vuelta
a esa estación, a ese escenario, a esa canción, a ti.

ヨモスガラ停留所
ひとりぼっち　おいてきぼりの
僕は何所へでも行ける
yomosugara teiryuujo
hitoribocchi oitekibori no

The All-Night Bus Stop.
Now I have been left all alone,
I'll go anywhere.
La Parada de Bus de Toda la Noche.
Ahora que me he quedado solo,
iré a cualquier parte.

ヨモスガラ停留所
今宵はきっと　旅立ち日和
僕は何所へでも行こう
yomosugara teiryuujo

The All-Night Bus Stop.
Tonight will surely have the proper weather for a departure
and I'll go wherever in it.
La Parada de Bus de Toda la Noche.
Esta noche de seguro tendremos el clima apropiado para una partida
e iré a cualquier lugar en él.

Noticias / News

 Chicos, lamento que tuve que dejar las traducciones de Ayashi prácticamente inmediatamente despues de haberlas comenzado, pero es que tuve un percance bastante grave al día siguiente de que subí la última letra que publiqué: finalmente la pandemia del SARS-COVID19 nos alcanzó a mi y a mi familia, asi que las últimas tres semanas mi sitio de residencia parecía pabellón de hospital y estábamos todos bastante mal. Y aunque casi todos logramos recuperarnos, por desgracia mi abuela no logró sobreponerse a ello debido a las patologías respiratorias que tenía previamente, razón por la cual este 13 de febrero falleció en el hospital... Ya nos encargamos de todos los arreglos funerarios, pero igual el dolor persiste, aunque estamos tratando de vivir con ello...

Espero que puedan entender esto, y muchas gracias por su comprensión. Trataré de retomar el resto del álbum tan pronto recupere mi ritmo de trabajo usual...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guys, I'm sorry I had to leave the translations for Ayashi practically right after having started them, but I had a pretty nasty experience the following day I uploaded the last translation I posted: the SARS-COVID19 pandemic finally reached my family and me, so the last three weeks my place of residence looked like an hospital ward and we all found ourselves in pretty bad condition. And while almost all of us managed to recover from it, unfortunately my grandmother couldn't overcome it due to the breathing pathologies she previously had, reason why she passed away this February 13rd... We have already finished all her funerary arrangements, but still the pain persists, although we're trying to live with it...

I hope you can understand this, and thank you very much for your comprehension. I will try to resume working on the rest of the album as soon as I've recovered my usual work rhythm...

Letra - Chou yo, Hana yo

Y prosiguiendo, aquí tenemos la siguiente canción de Ayashi, la cual es un número al cual el apelativo de "samurai borracho" le queda de maravilla por el ritmo rápido y por el estilo tan... brusco que tiene la letra.

 蝶よ花よ (Chou yo Hana yo)
(Oh Butterflies! Oh Flowers! / ¡Oh Mariposas! ¡Oh Flores!)

Composition, Arrangement, Lyrics, Vocals & Chorus/Composición, Arreglos, Letra, Vocales y Coros: Akiko Shikata

蝶よ花よ　愛でつ愛でられ行く
定めに身をまかせ
chou yo hana yo medetsu mederareyuku
sadame ni mi wo makase
Oh, butterflies! Oh, flowers! Love and be loved,
entrust yourselves to the whims of fate.
¡Oh mariposas! ¡Oh flores! Amen y sean amadas,
entreguénse a los caprichos del destino.

偶像　崇拝　美辞　麗句
真実なんて　見たくない
掲げた杯　零れた雫は　誰の夢
guuzou suihai biji reiku
shinjitsu nante mitakunai
kakageta sakazuki koboreta shizuku wa dare no yume
I don't want to see truths such as
idols, worship, pretty words or elegant phrases.
The drops spilled from the raised cups are somebody's dreams.
No quiero ver verdades tales como
ídolos, adoración, palabras bonitas o frases elegantes.
Las gotas derramadas de las copas alzadas son el sueño de alguien.

拍手　喝采　大団円
お伽噺　ありがちで
教訓ばかりが　右から左へ流れゆく
hakushu kassai daidan'en
otogibanashi arigachi de
kyoukun bakari ga migi kara hidari e nagareyuku
Clapping, ovations, finales,
they all are so frequent in fairytales
that all their lessons go in one ear and out other.
Aplausos, ovaciones, finales,
todos ellos son tan frecuentes en los cuentos de hadas
que todas sus lecciones entran por un oído y salen por el otro.

いらない何も　所詮泡沫
誓うたび　色褪せる
約束はくそくらえ
iranai nanimo shosen utakata
chikau tabi iroaseru
yakusoku wa kusokurae
I don't need anything, everything is ephemeral.
Every time I make an oath, it fades away.
Fuck promises!
No necesito nada, todo es efímero.
Cada vez que hago un juramento, se desvanece.
¡A la mierda las promesas!

蝶よ花よ　愛でつ愛でられ行く
定めに身をまかせ
ひらりはらりと躱す
道理に条理に恋心
花に嵐　戦化粧は
華やかに凛々しく
ひれ伏すがいい　凡ては
是非もなし
chou yo hana yo medetsu mederareyuku
sadame ni mi wo makase
hirari harari to kawasu
douri ni jouri ni koigokoro
hana ni arashi ikusakeshou wa
hanayaka ni ririshiku
hirefusu ga ii subete wa
zehi mo nashi
Oh, butterflies! Oh, flowers! Love and be loved,
entrust yourselves to the whims of fate.
Sidestepping as you flutter out and about,
awaken the love amongst your reason and logic.
The warpaint looks so gallant
and brilliant in a flower storm.
You should prostrate yourself,
as nothing matters.
¡Oh mariposas! ¡Oh flores! Amen y sean amadas,
entreguénse a los caprichos del destino.
Esquivando mientras revolotean de un lado a otro,
despierten el amor entre su amor y lógica.
La pintura de guerra se ve tan galante
y brillante en una tormenta de flores.
Deberías postrarte,
ya que nada importa.

絵空事に世迷言　夢語り
大言壮語で法螺話　与太話
より取り見取りで
相槌さえも枯果てる
esoragoto ni yomaigoto yumegatari
taigensougo de horabanashi yotabanashi
yoritorinidori de
aidzuchi sae mo karehateru
Grumblings and dream stories within fabrications,
tall tales and idle gossip within braggings,
As you pick and choose from amongst them,
even the replies will rot away.
Gruñidos e historias de sueños dentro de inventos,
historias exageradas y chismes sin sentido dentro de la presunción,
Mientras escoges y eliges entre ellos,
incluso las replicas se pudrirán.

いらない何も　情も縁も
絡み合う　思惑は
千切り捨て　笑い飛ばせ
iranai nanimo jou mo enishi mo
karamiau omowaku wa
chigirisute waraitobase
I don't need anything, not even emotions or destiny,
Laugh away the entangled expectations
as you shred and throw them away.
No necesito nada, ni siquiera emociones o destino,
ríete de las expectativas entrelazadas
mientras las haces trizas y las tiras.

蝶よ花よ　愛でつ愛でられ行く
定めを愉しんで
お仕着せの正義は
切り捨てご免で　然様なら
あるがままに　全て足蹴にして
咲いて咲き急いで
たとえ明日に　散ったとて
悔いも無し
chou yo hana yo medetsu mederareyuku
sadame wo tanoshinde
oshikise no seigi wa
kirisute gomen de sayounara
arugamama ni subete ashigenishite
saitesaki isoide
tatoe asu ni chitta tote
kui mo nashi
Oh butterflies! Oh flowers! Love and be loved,
enjoy your fate.
If the justice alloted to you allows you
to kill me for a perceived affront, it'll mean goodbye for you
and showing myself as I truly am, I'll kick you all over.
Bloom, hurry up and bloom,
so even if you will fall off tomorrow,
you won't regret anything.
¡Oh mariposas! ¡Oh flores! Amen y sean amadas,
disfruten su destino.
Si la justicia de la que gozan les permite
matarme porque percibieron una afronta, será adiós para ustedes
y mostrándome como en realidad soy, les patearé por doquier.
Florezcan, apresurénse y florezcan,
para que aún si mañana caerán,
no se arrepientan de nada.

蝶よ花よ　愛でつ愛でられ行く
定めに身をまかせ
chou yo hana yo medetsu mederareyuku
sadame ni mi wo makase
Oh, butterflies! Oh, flowers! Love and be loved,
entrust yourselves to the whims of fate.
¡Oh mariposas! ¡Oh flores! Amen y sean amadas,
entreguénse a los caprichos del destino.

一度キリの　現し世なれば
精々歌舞くが上々と
お代は見てのお帰りだ
サア　切った　張ったの　大騒ぎ
ichidokiri no utsushiyo nareba
seizei kabuku ga joujou to
odai wa mite no okaeri da
saa kitta hatta oosawagi
If this life is actually unique,
the best dance and song you make with all your effort
will be your admission fee.
Come to the tumult where everything is cut and pulled!
Si esta vida realmente es única,
la mejor danza y canción que hacen con todos sus esfuerzos
será su cuota de entrada.
¡Vengan al tumulto en el que se corta y jala todo!

汝　万事　狂い狂わせゆく
時代に転がって
夢を見ようか　凡ては
是非もなし
nare banji kurui kuruwaseyuku
jidai no kogatte
yume wo miyou ka subete wa
zehi mo nashi
You, everything, go insane and drive others insane
as you tumble down through the eras.
Even if we might be dreaming,
nothing matters.
Tu, todo, enloquezcan y enloquezcan a otros,
mientras caen y ruedan por las eras.
Aún si pudiésemos estar soñando,
nada importa.

Letra - Yume Kagura

Y ahora vamos con la segunda canción, de la cual la mejor descripción que puedo dar es que es similar en muchos aspectos a ahih rei-yah;, ya que ambas comparten mucho de ese aire ceremonial Shinto, sin embargo, está canción también tiene ciertos juegos interesantes con la rítmica en varias de sus secciones.

夢神楽 (Yume Kagura)

Composition, Arrangement, Lyrics, Vocals and Chorus/Composición, Arreglos, Letra, Vocales y Coros: Akiko Shikata

ゆめか　うつつか
 うつつか　ゆめか
yume ka utsusu ka
 utsutsu ka yume ka
Is this a dream? Is this reality?
 Is this reality? Is this a dream?
¿Es esto un sueño? ¿Es esto realidad?
 ¿Es esto realidad? ¿Es esto un sueño?

掲げた　白き手
寄り添うは　神楽鈴
常葉の森へと
凛と告げるは　誰そ彼と
kakageta shiroki te
yorisou wa kagura suzu
tokiwa no mori e to
rin to tsugeru wa tasogare to
The kagura suzu held
in the white risen hand
coldly announces to someone:
"head into the evergreen forest"
La kagura suzu sostenida
en esa mano blanca alzada a lo alto
anuncia fríamente a alguien:
"dirigete hacia el bosque eternamente verde"

千年を　刻むは
墨染の　社跡
守りて　彩る
千の灯　千の花よ
chitose wo kizamu wa
sumizome yashiroato
mamorite irodoru
sen no akari sen no hana yo
A thousand years pass by
on the ruins of the blackened shrine ruins.
Oh thousand lanterns, oh thousand flowers,
protect and color it.
Mil años pasan
en las ruoinas de las ennegrecidas ruinas del templo.
Oh mil linternas, oh mil flores,
¡protejan y coloréenlo!

つらつら椿に　偲ぶ　愛しい日々
落ちる花の音も
亡き人の　訪れの証と
tsuratsura tsubaki ni shinobu itoshii hibi
ochiru hana no oto mo
naki hito no otozure no akashi to
Lovely days reminiscing at length over the camellias,
even the sounds of the falling flowers are said to be
the proof of the deceased's visits
Días encantadores recordando por largo rato encima de las camelias,
incluso los sonidos de las flores que caen se dice
que son la prueba de las visitas de los difuntos.

響け　響け　夢神楽
重ね　重ね　夢逢瀬
二人別つ　暁を
祓うために
つよく　つよく　つよく
hibike hibike yume kagura
kasane kasane yume ouse
futatsu wakatsu akatsuki wo
harau tame ni
tsuyoku tsuyoku tsuyoku
Resound, resound, dream dance for the Gods.
Join together, joing together, dream meetings.
To purify the dawn
strongly, strongly,
that will separate the two.
Resuena, resuena, danza de sueños para los Dioses.
Unánse, unánse, encuentros de sueños.
Para purificar el amanecer
fuertemente, fuertemente,
que separará a los dos.

静寂は　蒼褪め
降り積もる　孤独に
俤　求めて
霞　抱く　日々の果てに
shijima wa aozomeru
furitsumoru kodoku ni
omokage motomete
kasumi idaku hibi no hate ni
The silence turns pale
even the solitude that keeps accumulating.
Searching for vestiges,
I embrace the mist at the end of the days.
El silencio empalidece
incluso a la soledad que sigue acumulándose:
Buscando vestigios,
abrazo la niebla al final de los días.

ひいろ　ひいろに　燃えて
舞うは　胡蝶の夢
紅差し　指の誓い
叶わぬなら　現など　栓無きものと
hiiro hiiro ni moete
mau wa kochou no yume
benizashi yubi no chikai
kanawanu nara utsusu nado sennaki mono to
Burning in the brilliant, scarlet red,
the butterfly's dream dances.
If the ceremony of having my mother put
the rouge on my lips with her fingers is impossible, even reality itself will be unavoidable to me.
Quemándose en el brillante, escarlata rojo,
danza el sueño de la mariposa:
Si la ceremonia de que mi madre me ponga
pintalabios con sus dedos es imposible, incluso la realidad misma será inevitable para mi.

響け　響け　夢神楽
焦がれ　焦がれ　夢渡り
夜明け呼ぶ　鳥の歌を
搔き消すように
打ち消すように
つよく　つよく
hibike hibike yume kagura
kogare kogare yume watari
yoake yobu tori no uta wo
kakikesu youni
uchikesu youni
tsuyoku tsuyoku
Resound, resound, dream dance for the Gods.
Yearn, yearn, crossing of dreams.
As if you were to strongly, strongly
scratch out
deny
the song of the birds calling the dawn.
Resuena, resuena, danza de sueños para los Dioses.
Añora, añora, cruce de sueños.
Como si fueses a fuertemente, fuertemente,
arañar hasta borrar
negar
la canción de los pájaras que llama al amanecer.

逝きて帰らめ者の藍
然れど留まる者の緋
重ね交りて　至極色の花
浅き奈落に　先すさぶ
yukite kaeranu mono no ai
saredo todomaru mono no ake
kasanemajiwarite jigokuiro no hana
awasaki naraku ni saki susabu
The azure of the ones who went and never returned,
the crimson of the ones that stopped in spite of everything.
The dark purple flowers combining them both
deteriorate beyond the wretched Hell.
El azur de los que se fueron y nunca volvieron,
el carmesí de los que se detuvieron a pesar de todo.
Las flores púrpura oscuro que los combinan a ambos
se deterioran más allá del maligno Infierno.

響け　響け　夢神楽
重ね　重ね　夢逢瀬

祓うために
つよく　つよく　つよく

Resuena, resuena, danza de sueños para los Dioses.
Unánse, unánse, encuentros de sueños.
Para purificar el amanecer

que separará a los dos.

Letra - Douyou Kitan ~Jo~ Sakura Sakura

Y como lo prometido es deuda, al fin (¡después de años!) comenzaremos con Ayashi, el segundo álbum de estilo tradicional japonés de Akiko Shikata, aunque como es costumbre en ella, tenemos realmente una mezcla de diferentes estilos en cada canción.

La canción que sirve de apertura al álbum es su versión de una clásica canción infantil japonesa, Sakura Sakura. Aunque traté de darle mi propio toque a la traducción, realmente no pude hacer muchos cambios a las traducciones ya existentes dado el estatus que tiene como una canción folclórica.

童謡綺譚～序～　さくらさくら (Douyou Kitan ~Jo~ Sakura Sakura)

さくら　さくら

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms
Flores de cerezo, flores de cerezo
やよいの空は　見わたす限り
yayoi no sora wa miwatasu kagiri
as far as the eye can see in the springtime sky
hasta donde alcanza la vista en el cielo primaveral
かすみか雲か　匂いぞ出ずる
kasumi ka kumo ka nioi zo izuru
Whether in haze or clouds, fragrant in the air
Ya sea en niebla o nubes, fragantes en el aire.
いざやいざや　見にゆかん
izaya izaya mi ni yukan
Let's go now, let's go look at them now!
¡Vayamos ahora! ¡Vayamos a verlas ahora!

Letra - ■■■■■

Y prosiguiendo (y terminando, debido a que todas las otras canciones están en inglés), aqui está la otra canción de Avalon/Protoreplica, la cual es un rearreglo de "legend" de Fate/hollow ataraxia, y por la letra y en especial por la lengua usada, deduzco que es cantada desde el punto de vista de Gilgamesh, el cual cabe destacar es una chica en la historia del album.

Sin embargo, es una verdadera lástima que esta canción quedase incompleta debido a problemas de tiempo, lo cual es bastante notorio debido a como finaliza el fade-out de la misma, y dado que Fairial fue disuelto hace ya casi una década, no tengo esperanzas en que alguna vez Morrigan regrese a esta canción y la lleve a toda su gloria...

Como dato extra, los coros finales están cantados en sumerio; y aunque el difunto blog de miru mostraba la letra romanizada, tuve que arreglármelas para poder añadir el texto original escrito en cuneiforme a punta de revisar la tabla de símbolos conocidos y el diccionario provisto por la Universidad de Pensilvania, de modo que espero no haber cometido errores. Y sí: básicamente la canción no tiene nombre.

歪み揺れる望みが求め
零す雫果て逝く今、手に抱く

誰の為胸に刻む 心の血尽きても
hizumi yureru nozomi ga motome
kobosu shizuku hateyuku ima, te ni idaku
majiwaru futatsu no kawa wa, toki no hate misetemonao
dare no tame mune ni kizamu kokoro no chi tsukitemo
Seeking the distorted, swaying desires,
I hold now in my hands the droplets that spill to the farthest ends.
Even if the two rivers that mingle with each other show us the ends of time,
even if the blood that is engraved into the heart for someone else dries off.
Buscando los deseos distorsionados y cambiantes,
sostengo ahora en mis manos las gotas que se derraman hasta los confines.
Aún si los dos ríos que se mezclan entre sí nos muestran el fin del tiempo,
aún si la sangre que se graba en el corazón para alguien más se seca.

飾り立てた七つの夜は
夢を話す友への夢

The embellished seven nights
are a dream to the friend that speaks of dreams.

son un sueño para el amigo que habla de sueños.

Noticias y Letra - Illusion/Void

Espero que hayan tenido un buen 2020 y que el 2021 haya comenzado con buen pie para todos, muy a pesar de todo el desagradable asunto de la pandemia.

Para dar un pequeño resumen, aquí me encuentro bien muy a pesar de los problemas con los impuestos que estoy teniendo debido a mi condición de aútonomo en España (debería desaparecer el que ideó que se debían pagar cuotas de aútonomo en adición a los impuestos a la renta...), pero al menos el trabajo me está dando para mantenernos a mi y a mi familia, y también para permitirme darme ciertos gustos, tales como comprar consolas y juegos, o el haber iniciado mi colección de Myth Cloths y Figmas, que les mostraré en otro post a futuro.

Por otra parte, en marzo tenemos el lanzamiento de los remasters de Surge Concerto DX (Ciel nosurge Offline y Ar nosurge Plus), aunque sinceramente no creo que vayamos a verlos traducidos ni al inglés debido a que Koei-Tecmo parece estar empeñado en ignorar su existencia, por no decir la debacle iniciada ayer con el hecho de que los juegos en su versión japonesa ya pueden precargarse pero están bloqueados regionalmente y solo pueden acceder a ellos cuentas que tengan su origen en Japón.

En cuanto al proyecto de traducción de la versión original de Vita de Cielno Offline, ya la traducción está completa en un 83%, y espero que la fase de traducción esté terminada en unos meses más. Sin embargo, la velocidad del resto del proyecto dependerá del editor y los testers cuando les llegue su turno.

Respecto a los fanfics, seguiré publicandolos conforme vaya terminándolos, ya que aunque tengo un backlog de capítulos terminados, voy escribiendo a un ritmo muy esporádico.

Y retomando las traducciones, he decidido comenzar de nuevo con las traducciones del album doujin de Fairial/WAVE Avalon/Protoreplica, el cual comenzó como un proyecto de April Fools hecho por Miru de un fanfic para Fate/Prototype, pero que terminaron sacando como un album reprint de algunas de las canciones de AVALON y WHITE AVALON con dos canciones nuevas.

Esta traducción es para la primera de las dos canciones nuevas, la cual es un rearreglo del opening de la novela visual original y del anime de 2006, titulada "This Illusion" (en el caso de la novela) y "disillusion" (en el caso del anime).

祈り捧げた　彼方の契り
杯を満たし
inori sasageta kanata no chigiri
sakazuki wo mitashi
The distant vow upon which prayers were offered
fills the Grail.
El juramento distante sobre el cual fueron ofrecidas plegarias
llena el Grial.

誇りを誓い　契りを交わるも
今宵も綻びとなる
hokori wo chikai chigiri wo majiwaru mo
koyoi mo hokorobi to naru
Even if oaths sworn upon our prides are exchanged
tonight will also be torn apart.
Aun si se intercambian juramentos sobre nuestros orgullos,
esta noche tambien será hecha pedazos.

零れ滴る正義　穿つこの手で
虚ろな淵　彷徨い
玄掻き鳴らせ　謡え
koboreshitataru seigi ugatsu kono te de
utsurona fuchi samayoi
gen kakinarase utae
Piercing the spilled justice with my hands,
while roaming through a hollow Void,
strum the darkness and sing!
Atravesando la justicia derramada con mis manos,
mientras vago por un Vacío hueco,
¡rasguea la oscuridad y canta!

嘆きを積み上げて
この世界は成り立っているのだろう
偽りの理想（ユメ）なんて棄てて
願い切り裂いて
nageki wo tsumiagete
kono yo wa naritatteiru no darou
itsuwari no yume nante sutete
negai kirisaite
Accumulating so many laments,
what could this world give shape to?
Throwing away all false ideals (dreams),
rip apart the wishes.
¿Acumulando tantos lamentos,
a que podría darle forma este mundo?
Deshaciéndote de todos los ideales (sueños) falsos,
haz pedazos los deseos.

歪な願望　罪の流線
望まずにいても
望まずにいても　闇は訪れる
己を映らぬ鑑
　　湛える
ibitsuna negai tsumi no ryuusen
nozomazu ni itemo
nomazu ni itemo yami wa otozureru
onore wo utsuranu kagami
                tataeru
Distorted wishes are flows lines of sin,
even if we don't desire them to be like that.
Darkness will come even if we don't wish it,
a pattern that doesn't reflect me.
                      projects
Los deseos distorsionados son las líneas de flujo del pecado,
aunque no deseemos que sean así.
La oscuridad vendrá aunque no lo deseemos,
un patrón que no me refleja.
                       me proyecta.

暮れ泥むこの想い　噎ぶ叫びに
深く紅く蝕む　途方無き常闇へ
                       祈り
kurenazumu kono omoi musebu sakebi ni
fukaku akaku mushibamu touhou naki tokoyami e
                                        inori
These feelings that darken amongst stifled screams
will be spoiled by a deep crimson and wander without destination into the eternal darkness.
                                                                           without prayer
Estos sentimientos que se oscurecen en medio de gritos ahogados
se contaminarán en un profundo carmesí y vagarán sin destino por la oscuridad eterna.
                                                                                    sin rezos

契りを踏み躙って
血霞
希うなら
希う想いは閉ざされ
手折られた花をそっと抱いて
躊躇いは呑み干して
闇へと諍う
chigiri wo fuminijitte
chigiri
negau nara
kounegai omoi wa tozasare
teorareta hana wo sotto daite
tamerai wa fumihoshite
yami e to aragau
Crushing the vows            underfoot,
                the bloody mist
If you have any wishes,
Sealing away these feelings containing wishes,
Softly embracing the plucked flowers,
Gulping down my hesitation,
I'll oppose the darkness.
Aplastando bajo mis pies los juramentos
                                         la niebla sangrienta,
Si tienes algún deseo,
Sellando esos sentimientos conteniendo deseos,
Abrazando suavemente las flores arrancadas,
Tragándome mis titubeos,
Me enfrentaré a la oscuridad.

陰る瞳済ませ
呪い憑かれたこの躰でも
尊くも儚く眩い
光　呼び醒ませ
kageru hitomi sumase
noroitsukareta kono karada demo
tattoku mo hakanaku mabayui
hikari yobisamase
Clear your clouded eyes,
even if my body is covered in curses,
and even if it's precious, fleeting and dazzling,
awaken the light.
Acalara tus ojos nublados,
aunque mi cuerpo quede cubierto de maldiciones,
y aunque sea preciosa, efímera y cegadora,
despierta la luz.

Entwining of Destinies ~ Dragonia - Omake 2 (translated)

Omake: The First Night

After Elaer and Fileia found the two children, Miko and Yasha in the hills at the west, they went to their home mounted on their dragons. They had one house in the Royal Capital Soleila, where the Royal Castle was. The house was a two-story building made from wood, which had 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, 3 bathrooms and a small garden.

Fileia was a 26-year-old woman who had long blond hair and green eyes, and she wore a green and blue shouf adorned with leaves and water droplets, with the lower part of her shouf being a skirt of the same color and decorations as the upper part that reached down to her knees. She had a sword tied to her left hip and carried a shield on her back. As for her Elaer, he was a 25-year-old man who had short black hair and blue eyes, and he wore a green shouf with violet parts which had for its lower part pants of the same color as the upper part. He carried a silver spear on his back.

Their dragons were like this: Fileia's dragon was blue and green, and the Elaer's dragon was green and purple. As for the children, Miko was an eight-year-old girl. She had long black hair that was tied in a strange way with a white ribbon and brown eyes. She wore a strange outfit decorated with red and orange squares and white spheres, and she carried a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. She wore sandals on her feet. Yasha was even stranger. He was an eight-year-old boy too, but he had long silver hair and golden eyes, but he also had dog ears. He wore a strange red outfit with no decorations and went barefoot. He carried a sheathed sword tied to his left hip.

- "Miko, Yasha, this is our home" – said Fileia when they had arrived before the house. Miko and Yasha just looked at each other, not understanding Fileia's words.

- "Umm… We're sorry, we can't understand what you say…" – said Miko as she looked downward in sadness.

- "Dear, remember they don't understand us" – said Elaer as he looked at Fileia.

- "Miko, maybe she means this place is their house?" – said Yasha while he looked at her. He then looked at Fileia, Elaer and at the house in an inquisitive way. Fileia looked like she had understood him, so she nodded at him while she smiled at him

- "You don't understand us, but we live here" – said her while she pointed at herself, Elaer and both dragons. She then pointed at the house.

- "Do you think she means we should go in there?" – asked Miko at Yasha.

- "Well… We don't lose anything trying it out" – said him. He dismounted Elaer's dragon and walked to the house's door, but…

- "Ah… Wait, Yasha!" – said Fileia as she dismounted her dragon. Yasha stopped in surprise.

- "*gulp*… I hope I'm not doing anything bad…" – said he as he looked downward surprised. Fileia just smiled at him and faced the house's door.

She walked to the door and extended her right hand to it. When she did, a transparent blue and green magical circle appeared before the door and started spinning.

- "Whoa, amazing…" – said Yasha looking at Fileia.

- "So, they don't use keys or anything like that, but open and lock their houses using magic…" – said Miko as she blinked in surprise. When Fileia finished, the door softly opened, and the magical circle disappeared.

- "I'm done. Please, let's all go in" – said her as she moved aside and gestured everyone to enter the house. Miko and Yasha seemed to have understood, and after nodding, they entered the house.

They crossed a small foyer, and both children blinked in surprise.

- "Whoa… So amazing…" - said Yasha as he smiled.

- "Yeah… This house is so big and comfortable, and it has so many curious things…" – said Miko as she looked around.

They reached the living room, which had three sofas surrounding a small tea table. In front of the sofas and the tea table, there was a crystal stand that had a powered down television over it: it was two light bars placed in front of each other. At the sides of the stand there were two windows which showed a small garden covered in green grass.

- "Did you like our home, kids?" – asked Elaer. However, Miko and Yasha just looked at him with a puzzled expression – "Ah yeah, you don't understand us" –

- "Elaer, don't bully the children!" -

- "Alt tok fetelaga sossaks gyall, nyelsaks?" - phiarega Elaer. Tiu, Miko yst Yasha kelarga kyus ika xeoseti xi sonlyad -"Ac felea, tastsaks jaullwanasez sossaks" – shouted Fileia angry.

- "I'm joking, dear!" – said an embarrassed Felaer. Then, Fileia walked to the children and knelt in front of them – "We'll be making dinner now. You can watch TV while sitting on the sofas while we make the food" –

Both children just looked at her with a puzzled expression, so Fileia pointed at one sofa and looked at them.

- "I think she's saying we have to wait on that sofa…" – said Miko while shrugging her shoulders.

- "Looks like It…" – said Yasha. Their stomaches rumbled that moment. Fileia and Elaer laughed while Miko and Yasha just got embarrassed and blushed.

- "Hahaha! Looks like you two are a hungry!" – said Fileia – "Don't worry! In a little while, we'll finish making dinner. Wait here" –

She pressed the buttons in her Dragtemn, which turned on the TV, surprising Miko and Yasha. She then called Elaer and they both went to another room that was located to the right.

- "You think they'll be going to make food?" – asked Miko while she went to and sat down on the sofa.

- "Maybe… After how they laughed when they heard our stomachs rumbling, I'm pretty sure they went to fix up something" – said Yasha as he sat down on the sofa at Miko's side.

- "What kind of food could they eat in this place?" – asked Miko while they both looked at the TV.

- "Who knows…? At least we can remember the foods from our world, but…" – said Yasha as he placed a hand on his chin - "But I don't think it'll be anything similar to what we've eaten before" -

They then watched the shows on the TV while Elaer and Fileia were cooking, although neither of them could understand what the people said.

- "This show about a boy going in adventures looks pretty interesting, but I wish I could understand it…" – said Miko looking sad.

- "In that case, shouldn't we try learning the language?" – asked Yasha while shrugging his shoulders. Miko nodded to answer him.

- "Yeah. Since we're gonna live in this place from now on, we've gotta learn it" – said her - "Do you think they've got any books, notebooks or something we can use to start learning?" -

- "Hmm… Maybe in one of these shelves? Not like I remember ever having studied anything thought…" – said Yasha sighing in a lonesome way.

Both stood up from the sofa and walked up to the bookshelves. After a few minutes, they found several books that seemed like they could use to learn Common Dragonian.

- "Ah! This one has a table with what seems to be the letters and some pictures!" – said Miko when she opened one book.

- "Yeah! But there's a problem…" – said Yasha while looking at the book - "How do we know what sound goes with what letter…?" -

- "Yeah… And we don't know if this writing is syllabic or alphabetic…" – said Miko - "You think… we could ask Fileia-san or Elaer-san to help us with it?" -

- "But… how we ask them to help us with it if they can't understand us?" – asked Yasha.

- "Maybe if we show them the table and look like we're pleading they'll get it…?" - suggested Miko.

- "Well, no other way around it but trying it out, right?" – said Yasha. Miko just nodded, so they took the book and walked to the kitchen.

- "Fileia-san! Fileia-san!" – said both children.

- "Huh? Did something happen?" – asked Fileia when she saw them enter with the book on their hands.

- "Maybe they want you to read that book to them?" – suggested Elaer while he cut a few vegetables.

- "Even though they can't understand us or the book?" – asked Fileia smiling. But when saw the letters table, she understood what the children wanted – "Elaer, could you finish making the food by yourself?" –

- "I think I can, but why?" – asked him.

- "I think the children want to learn how to read our language" – said Fileia while she smiled – "So I'll help them!" –

Fileia nodded as she smiled and returned with Yasha and Miko to the living. They sat down at the sofa, with Miko and Yasha sitting at each side of Fileia, and Fileia opened the book in the page where the letters table was.

- "Okay children, I'll teach you how to read this" – said Fileia. Yasha and Miko didn't understand her but paid close attention to her words.

Fileia then pointed at the first letter of the table.

- "A" - said Fileia.

- "A" - repeated Miko and Yasha. Fileia nodded as she smiled at both children, and then she pointed at the image that was next to the letter. It was a star shining in the night sky.

- "Astraleir" – said her.

- "Ah… So, stars are called Astraleir in their language!" - said Miko excitedly.

- "Yeah! Looks like we've learned our first word!" – said Yasha while he smiled. Fileia didn't understand them but felt happy for them. After waiting a little, she pointed once again at the image and looked at them with an inquisitive expression.

- "Astraleir!" - said Miko and Yasha at the same time. Fileia smiled at both children. Then, she pointed at the next letter.

- "B" – said her.

- "B!" – said Miko and Yasha. Fileia then pointed at the image next to the letter. The image was a tree.

- "Bamf" – said her.

- "So, trees are called Bamf in this language" - said Miko.

- "Another word for us to learn then?" – said Yasha. Then both repeated the word at Fileia. Fileia then pointed at the tree's picture.

- "Bamf!" – said Miko and Yasha at the same time Miko yst Yasha. Then Fileia pointed once again at the image of the star.

- "Astraleir!" – said Miko and Yasha. Fileia felt, but she then pointed at the next letter.

- "C" – said her.

- "C!" – said Miko and Yasha.

Fileia then pointed at the image next to the letter: it was a heart.

- "Coroheazo" - said Fileia. Miko and Yasha both looked downward and put their hands over their chests.

- "Coroheazo…" – said Miko as she closed her eyes.

- "Coroheazo" – said Yasha. Fileia looked at a bit worried. Both children just opened their eyes after a few instants and looked at Fileia. She smiled at them and pointed at the tree's image.

- "Bamf!" – said Miko and Yasha. She then pointed at the heart's image.

- "Coroheazo!" – said Miko and Yasha. Then she pointed at the star's image.

- "Astraleir!" – said Miko and Yasha. Fileia smiled at them both and pointed at the next letter.

- "D" – said her.

- "Ah… Now I see it… Looks like this language is alphabetic, Yasha!" – said Miko as she covered her mouth with her hands.

- "So, it's not like our language, right?" - asked Yasha.

- "No, I'm sure our language is syllabic, but… I can't remember how it's written…" - said Miko.

- "Anyway, let's just focus on learning. Fileia-san is waiting for us" - said Yasha. Fileia didn't say anything, but just sighed and pointed at the next letter.

- "D" -

- "D!" – said both children. Fileia smiled at both and pointed at the image: it was a dragon.

- "Dragyuu" – said Fileia.

- "Dragyuu!" - said Miko and Yasha.

- "So that's how they call dragons in this world!" - said Yasha.

- "Yeah!" - said Miko. Then Fileia pointed at the tree's image.

- "Bamf!" – said Miko and Yasha. Then, she pointed at the star's image.

- "Astraleir!" – said Miko and Yasha. Then she pointed at the dragon.

- "Dragyuu!" - said Miko and Yasha. Then she pointed at the heart's image.

- "Coroheazo!" – said Miko and Yasha. She then pointed at the letter A.

- "A!" – said Miko and Yasha. Fileia made them repeat the letters and images a few more times. Then she pointed at the next letter.

- "E" – said her kays.

- "E!" - repeated Miko and Yasha. Then Fileia pointed at the image next to it: it was a wall.

- "Encle" - said Fileia.

- "Encle!" - said Miko and Yasha. After making them repeat the letters and words a few more times, she saw that both children looked exhausted, so she closed the book.

- "We'll stop here" – said her as she smiled – "We'll continue after we've eaten"

Miko and Yasha didn't understand her, but they felt tired, so they said no complaints. Then, Elaer left the kitchen carrying a tray that was filled with several platters, glasses, a jar and several types of cutlery.

- "It's time for eating!" – said him while he sat at the table. Fileia, Miko and Yasha rose up from the sofas and walked to the table, but Miko and Yasha walked more slowly than Fileia because they felt nervous: they didn't know the customs of this world.

- "I hope we're not doing anything rude…" – said Miko as she sat down at the table.

- "Yeah… I hope so too…" - said Yasha. But Fileia and Elaer just smiled at both children, so it didn't seem there were any problems.

- "What would you like to eat?" – asked Elear. Miko and Yasha just titled their heads, so Fileia moved her hand as if she were inviting them to serve themselves.

- "Maybe she means we can pick whatever we want?" - said Miko.

- "I think so. Look how they're waiting for us" – said Yasha. Both looked at the dishes: there were several kinds of meat, a salad made from several kinds of greens, some kind of fried fish and two jars. One was filled with water and the other was filled with some sort of pink fruit juice.

- "Meat" – said Fileia pointing at the meats – "Salad. Fish. Water. Juice" –

-She said each word as she pointed at each dish. Yasha and Miko understood what she was trying to do, and they nodded when she pointed at each dish once again.

- "Umm… Hydrast. Hydratbiole. Nicam" – said Yasha. Fileia nodded and served him what he had asked. Yasha smiled at her and started eating using the cutlery.

- "Ah! Arbauhyd. Hydratbiole. Arfloretle" - said Miko. Elaer smiled while nodding at her and served the dishes Miko had asked.

- "Thanks for the meal!" - said Miko while she clasped her hands. Then she started using the cutlery to eat. Elaer and Fileia looked at each other confused because of what Miko did, but they just smiled.

- "That must be a custom from their world" – said Eleaer while they all continued eating.

- "Yeah, dear. Well, we can only keep doing our best efforts so they will be able to understand us in some more days" – said Fileia while she smiled with a bit of sadness.

Both children liked quite a bit the dishes they had eaten, even though they had never eaten food like them. Miko particularly liked the Ilfe juice and drank three glasses of it. Meanwhile, Yasha liked quite a bit the several kinds of meat and the fried fish, but he only drank water. Fileia and Elaer were happy because it seemed like both children had liked the food they had made.

When they finished eating, Soleia had gone down and Seleila had finished rising from the faraway horizon. The night had already come to the world.

Miko and Yasha didn't understand them, but they still helped Elaer and Fileia washing the dishes and cutlery. To the surprise of both children, Fileia placed a small crystal in a slot next to the faucet, which made it produce water.

- "Have you never seen water produced by water Seireiterfa before?" – laughed Fileia when she saw their surprised faces. Both children shook their heads to say "no". Fileia allowed them to help with the washing.

The children laughed while they put the soap, rubbed the dishes with the sponge and washed the soap away with water. This was a normal house chore, but as Miko and Yasha couldn't remember having done such a thing, so they greatly enjoyed doing it.

- "Ah, it's kind of surprising to see the children enjoying these chores, huh? Dear?" – asked Elaer as he saw Miko and Yasha drying the dishes with an absorbing cloth.

- "Maybe such tasks don't exist in the world they're from?" – said Fileia while she finished drying the dishes and took out the crystal from the slot. This made the water stop flowing from the faucet. Fileia then stored the crystal in a shelf near the kitchen.

- "It's kind of awesome how they make water come out from that thing…" – said Yasha after they finished washing and drying the dishes and cutlery, and they had put them away.

- "For some reason, I feel like I used to have something like this in my home, but… I don't think it worked with crystals…" – said Miko as she put a hand over her chin.

- "I wish we could remember the world we came from…" – said Yasha, but this caused his head to start hurting that moment.

- "Are you okay!?" – asked Miko as she covered her mouth with her hands.

- "Are you okay, Yasha?" – asked Fileia while a worried expression appeared on her face. Elaer looked worried too.

- "I… I'm okay. Don't worry… It's nothing…" – said Yasha as he smiled at everyone, and the pain started disappearing. He couldn't understand Fileia, but the worried faces they had conveyed to him their worries. Fileia and Elaer couldn't understand him either, but his smile tranquilized them.

- "Maybe that happened because you tried remembering something?" – asked Miko.

- "Yeah… But maybe it's also because we're tired… Maybe we should get ready to sleep?" – said Yasha as he smiled at her.

- "Yeah… It's been only a few hours after we woke up in the hill, but I'm really feeling beat up…" – said Miko before she let out a small yawn.

- "Both children look tired" – said Elaer.

- "Yes. Tomorrow I'd like to bring them along because we'll buy shoufs for them, and go register them as being under our guardianship. But for now, let's let them rest" – said Fileia as she nodded.

Elaer and Fileia brought Miko and Yasha along to the second floor of the house and led them to a room. The room wasn't large, but it was warm and comfortable. The room had two beds each of which had a small table with a lamp next to it, two closets and a dresser with a mirror.

- "This is the room we planned to use for our future children, but you can use it for now" – said Fileia as she smiled.

- "I think she's saying we can use this room" – said Yasha as he shrugged his shoulders.

- "Dear, I'll be going to our room now" – said Elaer – "I'll wait until you've put the kids to sleep" –

Elaer then left the room. Miko and Yasha looked around, but when they looked at Fileia, she just smiled at them.

- "Looks like she's telling us to go to bed" – said Miko while she stretched her body and walked to the nearest bed - "Ah… But I don't have any sleepwear to put on…" -

- "There's not much we can do about it for now, right?" – asked Yasha as he walked to other bed - "Looks like we'll have to sleep like this" -

Filei didn't understand at first what they were saying or doing, but after Miko and Yasha got into their respective beds, she just smiled at them. She then walked until she was between both beds and stood there.

- "You'll probably have trouble sleeping" – said Fileia as she smiled kindly – "So, I'll sing a song for you" –

Miko and Yasha just laid down on the beds while they looked at Fileia. Then, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and started singing…

(Song: in qorarta vigilia - Fritillaria & Ortensia)

"Ist Atok Jhorha Phaph Ealok Mountyoudor"
"Ist Cielba Jhorhyx Phaph Ealok Thafz"
("You wish for a happy world.")
("I wish for your happiness.")

- "Such a pretty song…" – said Miko as the lights of the room started dimming out and she felt warm and fuzzy.

- "Yeah… I'm feeling… so sleepy too…" - said Yasha as his eyes started closing.

"Galt Garsse OcuraRa Yiules Illyusea"
"Dragyacch ShuxuaraRa Glazia Biousakatse Ical"
("We will receive the new light")
("And the dragon will sing their gratitude at life")

Fileia just continued singing until both children fell asleep. When they finally were asleep, she left the room and allowed them to sleep, so they could peacefully dream about meeting again their friends and families, and about recovering their memories…
