While I heartily disapprove of the content of Kannazuki no Miko, I can't stop myself from liking KOTOKO and melodramatic lyrics about unrequited love.
I was moved by the memories of sorrow and discord
Quietly flickering in the distance
I was frozen by the pale screams clinging to my eyelids
The setting moon wanders, unsure
Now what is waiting here
Sure of its existence
Is the moment we embrace one another
And never shall the tears flow again
My unforgiven wish is washed away to the other side of time
I can't say it, I can't hear it, I can't see it...it's an illusion
Love that will never reach you is
Only my voice, only my hands, only the warmth drawing near
Torn into a thousand pieces that color the night wind
I had realized that it must be deception, idolatry
And still, in the deep grass and weeds
I found I gave myself to sweet beauty
The rising sun wanders, unsure
The accidents were planned, in secret
Perhaps even these emotions
Mistakenly twisted and exposed to me
Could be called inevitable
No matter where I go, I will fight the resolution
Where I cannot cry...where I cannot pass...where I cannot know
Because I only want to protect you
You said you don't care if you wither and fade away, if only you can save
Just the present...just the past...just the future of atonement
My unforgiven wish is washed away to the other side of time
I can't say it, I can't hear it, I can't see it...it's an illusion
Love that will never reach you is
Only my voice, only my hands, only the warmth drawing near
Torn into a thousand pieces that color the night wind
You said you don't care if you wither and fade away
I said, "I will be your light."
Translated with a hope and a wish for coherent sentences instead of groups of words! This song is about both girls. If it pleases you, try to figure out who is singing what parts.
Ahh, let's see...I think I'll throw in my spooky delusional interpretations of Kajiura Yuki's pretend language.
DISCLAIMER: I AM CRAZY. ほとんどが妄想。いっそ全部妄想。 I BASICALLY MAKE THIS UP.
Sei Otome no Inori
(Prayer of the Holy Virgin)
Heavens in the one sky
Praised heaven's destined noble heart
The one sky, my friend
You are my only noble one
We are one heart and mind
Protected, joined to mine
Noble song of heart
Joined to my harmony
My harmony, eternal soul
Joins me with my goddess
Praised heaven's destined noble heart
The one sky, my friend
You are my only noble one
We are one heart and mind
Protected, joined to mine
Herald star
My song
Translator's note: This is the one I am most confident about and I'm still not sure. Take the first verse or so and you have the lyrics for the song where a certain someone flings herself off a cliff! (Ouch.)
Lilac ~ Utsukushiki Chigiri
(Lilac ~ Beautiful Oath)
My innocence of heart
My only friend forever
My harmony, blessed hard-won treasure
Your thought glows brightest
Little song of my heart
You are my hard-won treasure
My peace, my communion
My little herald star
Translator's note: This song makes me think about Akane and Kazuya first, but Elstein the MOST T_T
Ikusa Otome ~ Aoi to Kuro no Kyousoukyoku
(War Maiden ~ Concerto of Rivalry for Blue and Black)
Echoing thunder, she is terrible
One hatred, against all she trusts
Maidens, sisters, hate not
Your only enemy, she is a friend
Echoing thunder, she is terrible
One hatred, against all she trusts
Maidens, sisters, hate not
Your only enemy, she is a friend
Echoing thunder, she is terrible
One hatred, against all she trusts
Maidens, sisters, hate not
Your only enemy, she is one you trust
Echoing thunder, she is a friend
One hatred, against all she trusts
Maidens, sisters, hate not
Your only enemy, she is a friend
Translator's note: I KNOW IT'S WRONG OKAY
Since I don't know where else to put this, I think the star with four points was chosen to be the symbol of all Otome in part because it resembles a cross...and I hear knights in Europe kind of liked the cross! Yeah!
