ippiki wa Beast sa tada no kemono
nokemono ni sarete mo nerau emono
munashiku ikiru nanashi no Under Dog
kizudarake na namami no karada
One’s a beast, an animal, living day-to-day
They cast him out, but he’s still hunting down his prey
An underdog who never really had a name
Naked and scarred, but still a player in the game
aitaisuru wa kemono no ou
erabareshi sainou tsuyosa e no katsubou
tsuki ni kagayaku hakugin no kenami
imada shiranai haiboku no nimoji
He’s coming up against the mighty king of beasts
A chosen one, turning all comers into feasts
Got silver hair, flashing under moonlight
Retire undefeated? They say he just might
futatsu no tamashii na dare ochite iku fukami
tachikiru mienai kusari kodoku ni hoeru kurayami
mitometaku wa nai joukei to wasureteita shitto
gekijou no daishou izanau shi no fuchi e to
A pair of souls caught up in the same undertow
Now they’re chained together, howling in the shadow
A type of envy, not something they’d wanna admit
Only way to deal with it is for both dogs to jump in the pit
Ah, motazaru mono motsu mono
miageru mono miorosu mono
Ah, nisemono to honmono
Fake Or Real? dotchi ga ikinokoru?
Ah, he who has and he who has not
A man rising up to try and take another’s spot
Ah, the pretender and the crown
Fake or real? Which one is going down?
Ah, kuruu nihiki no kemono
ima tokihanatsu Freedom na Soul
Ah, motometeta basho
tada sono hi tsumu tame kemono wa odoru
Ah, two animals going wild out there
Freedom and soul, the only things they share
Ah, this is where they wanna be
A pair of predators, about to be set free
- i couldn’t find the lyrics so i hunted them down myself
- translation is from crunchyroll subs and is more poetic + artistic ^^
- hover to see a more literal translation (partially based on a youtube comment i found)
The second song in the album, this time it describes some sort of fight between a black knight and a maiden wielding a shield. Kinda surprised it’s not on youtube given how hard the beat slaps. Music that describes two people fighting is something I really enjoy and this song does a pretty damn good job, and it even has a stupid made up name for a holy sword, I’ll give it some bonus points for that. Overall great track, you can keep reading down below the cut and see you next time.
02. 盾の乙女と黒の騎士 (tate no otome to kuro no kishi) (The Shield Maiden and the Black Knight)
Hallow tojita sekai de kiri keburu senritsu
tate wo mune ni tatsu otome yuruginaki hana
Hollow kuro no cavalier yubi nobasu tsurugi wa
yami wo utsushi motsu kemono tsumi no na no moto ni
in a hallow closed off world emerging from the mist is a melody
standing with a shield to her chest is a maiden like an unwavering flower
a hollow black knight has their grip on a sword
through the darkness his brutality can be seen, as if working in the name of sin
tomoru tsuki to hibana kasanete yure ugoku futatsu no kage
moeru kiba ni kokoro furuwase kawasu tatakai wo ima sasageru
through the moonlight and the flying sparks their shadows can be seen revolving around
the burning fangs that can make a heart waver cross in this battle giving it all
hoeru fantajia sen no yaiba tada ichido
kagiri aru inochi wo mai chirasete tatoe shiseru tomo
utae fantajia tooi akatsuki no owari
takeru honoo tokinahatsu Howl
rasen matotte kakenukete yuke
a howling fantasia with a thousand blades at once
with no end until someone dies
a poetic fantasia until the distant end of dawn
the raging fire lets out a howl
enveloping everything in a spiral running through it all
Hallow fuseta hitomi ni seinarite sasayaku
yuri wo mune ni tatsu otome akaku somarishi
Hollow kuro no cavalier chi wo harau tsurugi de
hada ni fureru toi kake wa kokoro kirisaita
the hallow shut eyes let out a holy whisper
the maiden with a lily on her chest is painted in red
the hollow black knight draws blood with their sword
piercing through the skin that heart has now been minced
hibiku oto ni omoi (satsui) kasanete ugokanai futatsu no kage
kurau yo ni hane wo furuwase kawasu tatakai wo ima sasageru
through the reverberating sound the emotion (killing intent) overlaps paralyzing the two shadows
devouring the night and shaking up it's wings, a new fight is about to be offered up
tsugeyo viruvadia sei no yaiba tada ichido
owarinaki chikai wo maichirasete koko ni shiserutomo
kizame shinkirou haruka omoide wo kotowatte
kuyuru honoo toki hanatsu Howl
gin no sadame wo kakenukete yuke
showing Vilvadia the holy sword once more
a never ending pledge to kill until one of them dies
a wounding mirage making all wavering thoughts dissipate
a waving fire lets out a howl
the silver fate cuts through it all
mayou senaka te wo furutte meguri kuru wakare hohoemi
tsuki no uragiri sae ai no yume
a wavering body, shaky hands, it's farewell closes in smiling
the moon betrays it's dreams of love
hoeru fantajia sen no yaiba tada ichido
kagiri aru inochi wo mai chirasete tatoe shiseru tomo
ue fantajia tooi akatsuki no owari
takeru honoo tokinahatsu Howl
rasen matotte kakenukete yuke
a howling fantasia with a thousand blades at once
with no end until someone dies
a poetic fantasia until the distant end of dawn
the raging fire lets out a howl
enveloping everything in a spiral running through it all

Lyrics: Takami Hiroyuki
Producer: Asakura Daisuke
ENG:
Opening sky, growling stars, surpassing the future, the shining darkness.
The alluring moonlight, the dizzying shining, the wriggling shadow, the roaring night scream,
Goblins are step(ping) out, calling in with a wild beat, tonight is a start of a witness of a deep time
The momentary flash of light creeps up the darkness, you have no place to run to,
the secret shines under the moonlit night and freezes this prosperity.
GLAMLOID WATCH OUT
Revive again and put on a thrill Tricky freaky night
GLAMLOID WAKE UP a gorgeous
full moon howls out danger crazy love
If its affection or love, will you feel good? bad way, Feel it more inside you feel me.
Nervous but advancing to the one chance, honour and chance awaits your history.
At the street, you in an odd disguise, you wanna talk about love?
The breath touching your skin is the only reality.
GLAMLOID GET UP
Summon and awaken, screaming skulls tricky freaky night (dance!)
Bewitching fangs attached to teeth,
The immortal’s dream is creature crazy love
Opening sky, growling stars, surpassing the future, the shining darkness.
Reaching for the full moon, reverberating night, this chest that wishes, time continues to move,
You scream as the present breaks, snatching tomorrow and seizing the dream.
Opening sky, growling stars, surpassing the future...
