Absolute Anime

hello all, so, i was playing dirge of cerberus (a final fantasy game) and the group gackt did two songs for it, one called redemption and another called longing, i was able to find the lyrics in english for redemption very easly, but after a half an hour of searching for the translation for longing, i've decided to ask for your help here at AA, the untranslated lyrics are...

Akaku someru ude de kimi wo dakishimenagara
Aoku terasareta namida wo tsuki ni sasageru

Mune ni Kizamareta kizuato wo mitsumenagara
"mou modorenai..." to yoru ga sasayaku

Saa me wo tojite inori wo sasagereba ii
mou omae ni nokosu kotoba wa nanimo nai kara

Kami wo furuitataseru yami wo kisaku koe ni
Nakisakebu ga ii, subete owaraseyou

Watashi no mune ni tada damatte dakarereba ii
Owaru koto no nai yasuragi ga koko ni aru kara

Subete no tsumi wo tsugunai umarekawareba ii
Omae ni nokosareta sube wa nanimo nai

Saa me wo tojite inori wo sasagereba ii
Mou omae ni nokosu kotoba wa nanimo nai


and if someone found it in theyre heart to translate this for me, i'd be very VERY grateful.

I had to go find the actual Japanese before translating... sometimes it's hard to go off of romaji. FYI, Gackt's a guy, not really a group. A very freaky guy. XD Click if you want to be as frightened as I am by him.

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

As I hold you in my scarlet-dyed arms
I lift you up* to the moon with blue-illuminated tears

*can also be read "sacrifice you"

When I gaze at the graven scar on my heart
The night whispers, "you can never return..."

Ah, shutting my eyes, it'd be good if I offered up my prayers
But because my words are nothing, I've already left you behind

Stirring up the gods(?), I tear apart the darkness with my voice
It feels good to cry out, and finish it all

It'd be nice to just hold silence in my heart
Because of the neverending peace I have in this place

If only I could change my birth and make amends for all my sin(s)
But there is no way I can set you free...

Ah, shutting my eyes, it'd be good if I offered up my prayers
But because my words are nothing, I've already left you behind

sorry, i knew i should of got the actual....kanji, is it?

but thanks alot for the translation.

and the pic, thats him dressed like squall from FF8, but it'd be more truthful to say that squall is dressed like gackt. i read somewhere a while ago that squall's look was based on a particular stage outfit gackt wears(wore).

I played FF8... sorry, never saw Squall with red hair and a girly spandex shirt showing off his midriff. :)

you just didn't look hard enough

Uh, shouldn't this be in the music forum?

It seems logical to me that if people are looking for a Japanese translation, music or otherwise, that they post it here where I (or other Japanese speakers) can see it. People have tried to get song translations in the music section, but have gotten zero responses.

Please stop trying to backseat mod.

A backseat mod? You're wrong.

I'm just asking a logical question. I wasn't aware that people didn't help other's in this regard in the music section.

In the future, please discuss this stuff through a PM instead of spamming up the board, mmmkay?
