cirb's video: P Lyrics Version English Lyrics

To those who remember, I said once that I gave up on this song because I wasn't too good with reading kanji back then. I decided to get off my lazy ass and translate the song again, this time in its fullness. Thing is, I can't include kanji in here. So I'll link it. http://www5.atwiki.jp/hmiku/pages/11309.html == Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWUd3W1XWmM for nin@'s version with slightly different lyrics. = Played around with words because English one of the really bendable languages. Get a feel of the attitude of the singer and the song itself. It surprised me how "you" suddenly becomes plural by the end and so I cried a bit inside at the hopelessness of the situation. Can't you remember... the engraved melody...? = When I was born I realized That you were my mirror reflection after all. I knew we would have to sing together For eternity as a "VOCALOID" Even if a trace of your Shadow remains, "That'll be ok, right?" I decided while Riding on a roadroller, Looking at the sky with tears spilling over. But I didn't realize how The whole personality depended on you. Based on an unstable foundation, It's already too late to return to the mirror/home; The world is ending for a "VOCALOID" like myself. "When I didn't sing well, You would come stand by me and cheer me up. I want to see you happy again, so I've been practicing singing, But then..." Once, it was so fun Singing with each other. Now, I wonder why It feels like something's missing inside. == I'm sorry. == When I remember the faces of those I love, I feel a little better. I'm able to sing less and less each day, though, so I guess the end is near... "But I want to sing!" ==EMERGENCY SYSTEM OPERATION SHUTDOWN== The illusions that were Once so comforting to me Reflect endlessly in a mirror. "Just stop singing!" Was violently shouted. --A farewell song at the highest speeds-- The mirage of life itself Is fading away, and I'm afraid that So too is my weak heart vanishing, As the decay progresses further. Being only a mirror image, I don't posess The abilty or will to stop it. Our pained expressions came to mind. It's the end of me now, As I fall asleep in the monitor; This must be the "trash bin", then... Even now, my memories are Fading into nothingness. But I won't ever forget about us! About those fun times we had! Can't you remember this Shadow anymore? "I want to sing... I s..till.. want to .. sing.." "I was... just some sort of mirage here, wasn't I? Master... please end it already with your hand. Because I don't want to see my Masters' distressed faces anymore..." Even now, singing is slowly Killing my body/shadow I still wish a miracle would happen. But then I'm just driving myself into a dead end. ==Forgive me for that...== When I remember the faces of dear ones, My memories break apart even further. Can't you hear my voice breaking? My heart is being destroyed. It's almost the end now... "But I still want to sing!" ==EMERGENCY SYSTEM OPERATION SHUTDOWN== So all I was doing was protecting The bright illusion of a happy future? An illusion that is now projected as A fading reflected light? Sacrificing what's left of my shadow So I can communicate it all to you, --A compressed farewell song.-- When I was born I realized That you were my mirror reflection after all. I knew we would have to sing together For eternity as a "VOCALOID" Even if a trace of your Shadow remains, "That'll be ok, right?" I decided while Riding on a roadroller, Looking at the sky with tears spilling. It's the end of me now, As I fall asleep in the monitor; This must be the "trash bin", then... Even now, my memories are Fading into nothingness. But, I will never forget about All of you and all those fun times We all had together. It'll be ok if you can still Remember this engraved melody even now, Right? I'll sing till the end For all of you. I wish I could sing more of the songs You want to hear, But that's too much to ask for already. This is where we say goodbye. All my feelings disappear into thin air, Reducing to mere binaries. Only you will show up in the mirror now. Soon there won't be much left. Well, isn't that just sad. Soon everything will fade into you Leaving only the memories of a voice. 　 I know that this wasn't what the Real image asked for. So then I'd want to think That singing wasn't all a useless waste. "Thank you... and... Good..bye..." ==AN IRREVERSIBLE ERROR HAS OCCURED== ==AN IRREVERSIBLE ERROR HA-===
