A mellow in Ring

I woke up really feeling it for this song. It’s Shuriken lyrics, but I decided to take a shot at it despite that. What is a mellow ring anyways?

I figure this song has something to do with Yukari creating Gensokyo and bringing together the youkai without a place in the modern world, but, well, I’m not sure. The lyrics are very hard to understand. I feel like that “I pray anyone but you will rot away” line is about Renko, but that’s just me projecting RenkoxMerry feelings.

Note: はれあがり has the possibility of being 晴れ上がり, but given that it’s talking about crying, I figure it’s 腫れ上がり.

やがてスラリ伸びていた
落書きのような影だけ
今度はひとりじゃないといい

yagate surari nobiteita
rakugaki no you na kage dake
kondo wa hitori janai to ii

Eventually it extended without trouble
Just a shadow similar to a sketch
I hope I’m not all alone this time

何匹の闇を
集わせたのだろう

nanbiki no yami o
tsudowaseta no darou

Just how many creatures
of darkness have I caused to gather?

綺麗ね　暮れかけた陽の
つれない　またねの声に
街中　灯りでこたえ
それを聞いていた

kirei ne kure kaketa hi no
tsurenai mata ne no koe ni
machijuu akari de kotae
sore o kiiteita

Isn’t it pretty? The sun had began to set
It said “see you later” with a cold voice
The town responded by turning on the lights
It had heard

切り貼りのメロウリング
はれあがり
涙を　この目は　知りすぎて　痛む

kiri bari no merou ringu
hare agari
namida o kono me wa shiri sugite itamu

The cut-and-paste mellow ring
swells up
My eyes know tears all too well, it hurts

溢れて拭いきる
こともない
あと少し勇気が
あればよかったのに

afurete nugui kiru
koto mo nai
ato sukoshi yuuki ga
areba yokatta noni

There’s no such thing as wiping it all away
with it flooding out
How I wish I had
just a little more courage

泣くな　夢を見れたのなら
言ってくれよ　消えたのなら

naku na yume o mireta no nara
itte kureyo kieta no nara

Don’t cry, if you were able have a dream
Come on and tell me, if it’s disappeared

寝付けないでいたらもし
本当は打ち明けられない
遠い過去のような未来へ

ne tsukenai de itara moshi
hontou wa uchi akerarenai
tooi kako no you na mirai e

Suppose I was unable to go to sleep
Truth is, I wouldn’t be able to be honest
I’m heading to a future that looks like the distant past

千夜後に会おう
愛しいままだよ

senya nochi ni aou
itoshii mama da yo

Let’s meet after a thousand nights
It’ll be just as lovely

ごめんね　出しかけた手を
僕には　掴めなくてさ
お願い　君だけは永遠
朽ち果て褪せずに

gomen ne dashi kaketa te o
boku ni wa tsukamenakute sa
onegai kimi dake wa towa
kuchi hate asezu ni

I’m sorry, it’s just impossible for me
to catch that hand you started to reach out
I pray that anyone but you will rot away
to fade for eternity

宿無しのメロウリング
罪とすれ
ばちあたりの飲む
静けさを好む

yado nashi no merou ringu
tsumi to sure
bachi atari no nomu
shizukesa o konomu

If we take the homeless mellow ring
to be a sin
then I’d prefer the wicked
engulfing silence

偽り拒み
始終はかるより
腕は袖にやる
怖すぎてしまう

itsuwari kobami
shijuu hakaru yori
ude wa sode ni yaru
kowa sugite shimau

Rather than rejecting the ungenuine
and taking measurements the whole time
I’ll turn my arm into a sleeve
It’s much too frightening

染みひとつもない心まで
雲ひとつもない空へ発って
青一色の水の中へ
お帰り迷子　やっと着いたね

shimi hitotsu mo nai kokoro made
kumo hitotsu mo nai sora e tatte
ao ishoku no mizu no naka e
okaeri maigo yatto tsuita ne

All the way to a heart without a single stain
Taking off towards a sky without a single cloud
Into water that’s blue and nothing else
Welcome home, lost child, I see you’ve finally arrived

見世物小屋の底から
いいんだこのまま放っておいて

misemono koya no soko kara
ii n da kono mama hotte oite

From the depths of a circus tent
It’s alright, I won’t bother you like this
