Stars return to the night, The moon returns to the sea A voice tells me, Of the wind that pays no mind to this lead The whale that soars in the sky, Was simply watching the praying us It seeped into the white velvet With buttons that don't fasten right The blood of that girl-- More than the ocean, and more than any tears-- Was a deep blue Feathers return to birds, Now returns to the past It was simply too far for me, That voice cuts off there In that case, let us dance a waltz Underneath such an eerie crescent moon The ritual promptly begins its end As if it's this worn-out me, it has no meaning Did the fish that soars in the sky, Know everything would be destroyed? The goddess prayed, And the sky cried, it cried The girl's gaze, was That pale white body, is so small, and still Its buttons don't fasten right The blood of that girl-- More than the ocean, and more than any tears-- Was a deep blue TN: the "botan no tagaeta" line really stumped me for a bit but I think the no particle usage is meant here as a modifier to say the buttons on the velvet don't button up right i tl'd it into "With buttons that don't fasten right" to try to keep the same message of this beautiful garment that you can't really wear? you know? it's repeated later but with actual skin and flesh etc. also this song is part of the futari no universe can't explain in depth but it references multiple points in the harumaki gohan 10th anniversary box letters from nana and lili (namely; adults' bodies being made of lead, and lili's deep blue blood). i think i'll translate these.
