Miezaru Ude

Miezaru Ude
The Invisible Arm

nemurenu yoi wa rojiura no midara na chatte ni yatsuatari shite...

aa...miezaru sono ude de kubi o shimeru...

fantome de reve kowareyuku ego no itami...

kuruenu yoi wa yaneura no chiisana chateau o korogemawaru...

aa...miezaru sono ude no yakeru itami...

fantome douloureux yasuzake o abite nemuru...

The sleepless night vents its anger on a lewd female cats in a back valley...

Ah...your invisible phantom arm is strangling your neck again...

as you, shrouded in your dream's fantasy, begin to break down in pain...

The sober intoxication tumbles the manor with a small attic back and forth...

Ah...the scorching pain in your invisible phantom arm...

is just phantom pain, but yet, you can no longer sleep without being intoxicated...

("Alvarez shougun ni tsuzuke!")

("Follow General Alvarez!")

tasogare ni somaru furuki kemono no mori...senjou de deatta futari no otoko...

kinpatsu no Laurant...sekihatsu no Laurant...

arasoi wa meguri...shikabane o tsumiageru...

kagaisha wa dare de...higaisha wa dare ka?

shayou no kage ni yaiba wa akaguroku kirameite--

In an ancient feral forest at dusk...two men encountered each other on the battlefield...

One Laurant with blond hair...another also Laurant but with red hair...

One fight after another...the mountains of corpses keep growing higher and higher...

Who is the assailant...and who is the victim?

The blades shine in a maroon hue in the setting sun's shadow--

kataude to tomo ni ubawareta sa vie

shigoto wa hosare koibito wa dete itta...

nani mo ka mo ushinatta ubawareta saitei na la vie

fui ni osou itami ni obieru kurashi...

As one of his arms had been severed from him together with his good life,

he ended up losing his job, and his loved one had also left him...

It was the worst imaginable life, where he had lost everything,

but he lived on, all while constantly fearing more incoming sudden pains...

"le plus souvent...anata wa unasare naguru kara...

 watashi wa...kono mama ja izure shinde shimau wa...

 au revoir...anata o dare yori aishite'ru...

 sore de mo...onaka no ko no yoi pere ni wa narenai wa..."

"More often than not...you have nightmares in your sleep and punch your fists around...

 At this rate...I'm afraid I'll die under your fists someday...

 Goodbye...I love you more than anyone else...but still...

 it's impossible for you to become a good father to the unborn child in my belly..."

du vin...du champagne...de l'eau-de-vie...

Wine... Champagne... Brandy...

aa...nemuri no mori no seijaku o kirisaki...mata yatsu ga arawareru--

Ah...shattering the stillness of his dream...the one he fears is back again--

uma o karu sugata...masa ni akumu...

akai kami o furimidashite...furuu shinigami no kama...

kubi o karu sugata...masa ni fuusha...

akai hana ga sakimidarete...furuu seishin no hari...

yami o karuku matotta--

The image of that man riding on his horse...is truly like a nightmare...

with his hair down and disheveled...he wields the Grim Reaper's scythe...

The image of that man decapitating others...is truly resemblant of a red mill...

the extravagantly blooming red flowers...bestow upon him even more valor and power...

He quietly and lightly clocked himself in darkness--

yume kara sameta genjitsu wa  sore de mo nao mo yume no naka

yue ni...sono go no kare no jinsei wa  sake to kyouki...meguru itami no naka

hidari no hoo ni juuji-kizu  akaku moeru kami ni tobiiro no me

yatsu o...korose to ude ga uzuku no da  "miezaru ude" ga uzuku no da...

dare ga kagaisha de...dare ga higaisha da...shinigami o sagashi houmurou...

Then, he wakes up from his dream, or maybe he's still in his dream,

so...since then his life has been filled with alcohol and madness...shrouded in endless pain.

The one who took his arm had a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, red hair, and maroon eyes;

now his phantom arm throbs in pain, as though urging him to kill that bastard for revenge...

Who is the assailant...and who is the victim? Now find your grim reaper and bury him alive...

("koroshite kureru...")

("Kill him...")

chevalier wa futatabi uma ni matagari...toki wa mokushita mama sekai o utsurou--

ikoku no sakaba de futatabi deatta futari no Laurant...

sekigan ni shite sekiwan  aruchuu ni shite yakuchuu...

aa...katsute no ban'yuu  miru kage mo naku...

fui ni tobidashita  otoko no te ni wa epee noir

shuui ni tobichitta sang  marude vineux noir

sashinagara...tomosareta tamuke no hana no na--"Bonsoir"

nukinagara...tomosareta uta no na--"Au revoir"

kuzureochita otoko no na wa Laurant...hashirisatta otoko no na wa Laurencin...

mou hitori no Laurant wa...tada...bouzen to tachitsukushita mama...

The knight returns to his horse's back...as time quietly passes, bringing changes to the world--

the two men, both named Laurant, ran into each other again at a bar in a distant land...

The red-haired man had only one eye and one arm, and was completely wasted...

Ah...there wasn't a single trace on him now of his savage valor from the past...

A third man suddenly jumped into the scene, holding a black blade.

The blood that began to spill everywhere was as red as wine.

As he stabbed his blade in...a flower--named "Good evening"-- was offered to the deities.

As he drew his blade back out...a poem--titled "Farewell"--was lit up.

The name of the felled man was Laurant... The name of the man who ran off was Laurencin...

There was one more Laurant, who merely stood on his spot still, dumbfounded...

dare ga kagaisha de...dare ga higaisha da...giseisha bakari ga fuete yuku...

mawaru yo...mawaru...nikushimi no fuusha ga...odoru yo...odoru...honoo no you ni...

aa...hashira no kage ni wa...shounen no kage ga...tobiiro no me de...mitsumete ita...

Who is the assailant...and who is the victim? The number of victims only keeps on increasing...

The windmill of hatred...spins on and on...and it flickers and sways...like a flame...

Ah, in a column's shadow...was another youngster...who had been watching...with his maroon eyes...

("aa...jinsei wa mamanaranu...

  saredo...kono itami koso...watashi ga ikita akashi na no da...")

("Ah...One's life is beyond one's control...

  Even so...this pain in my invisible arm...is proof that I have lived...")

fukushuugeki no butai o orosare...otoko wa kangaehajimeru...

nokosareta ude...nokosareta jinsei...miezaru sono imi o--

sakazuki o mitashita budoushu...sono ajiwai ga mune ni shimita...

With the curtains of his revenge lowered...the man begins pondering...

The other arm left on me...the life left to me...and their invisible meaning--

The taste of this full cup of wine...soaked in and stung my heart...

(soko ni Roman wa aru no kashira?)

(Could the story be found over there?)
