[Pixiv]
I’ve been wanting to get this done for a while. Enjoy.
The third-person is self-referential third-person.

皆それぞれの不思議を抱えて――。
皆それぞれの不思議を探して――。
min’na sorezore no fushigi wo kakaete-.
min’na sorezore no fushigi wo sagashite-.
Everyone has their own mysteries that they carry-.
Everyone has their own mysteries that they search for-.
闇夜の下 密かに嗤う
誰にも気取られぬよう
その真意は誰も知らない
その真偽も尚の事
yamiyo no shita hisoka ni warau
dare ni mo kedorarenu you
sono shin’i wa dare mo shiranai
sono shin’gi mo nao no koto
Under the cover of night, she laughs
Secretly, so that no one will notice
No one knows the true meaning of her actions
Nor, of course, do they know their authenticity
暗い星を跨ぎ歩いて
天空の洞を覗き込む
覆い尽くすスプートニクの
その末裔達の空
kurai hoshi wo matagiaruite
sora no uro wo nozokikomu
ooitsukusu sputnik no
sono matsueitachi no sora
Straddling the dark stars, she walks
Staring into the void of the heavens
Into the sky filled to the brim
With the descendants of Sputnik
誰もわたしとは違うと
冷めた声色で呟く
けして溶かせぬ心
病みを抱えて
dare mo watashi to wa chigau to
sameta koe de tsubuyaku
keshite tokasenu kokoro
yami wo kakaete
“No one else is like me,”
She mutters in a calm, cold voice
Her heart she will not let be understood
As she clutches her sickness
誰もがみな 己の価値を問う
己の価値を知り その価値を越えて
dare mo ga mina
onore no kachi wo shiri
sono kachi wo koete
onore no kachi wo tou
Everyone out there
Once they know their value
They transcend that value
They question their value
そう はじまりの純粋さと溢れゆく創造性
ヒトが手にしたかくも甘美な禁断の果実よ
sou hajimari no jun’suisa to afureyuku souzousei
hito ga te ni shita kakumo kan’bi na kin’dan’ no kajitsu yo
Yes, in the beginning there was purity and overflowing creativity
What humanity took into its hands, that ever so sweet forbidden fruit
そう 所以なき自己過信と擁く熱量の高さ
我らが手に＜原初の想像＞の絶えずあることを
sou yuen’naki jikokashin’ to idaku netsuyou no takasa
warera ga te ni old motif no taezu aru koto wo
Yes, that groundless overconfidence in ourselves, that heat we embrace
May that old motif, the original creativity in our hands never expire!
黒く濁り渦巻く野望
闇に潜む企てよ
けれどこの眼謀れはせぬ
真実は常に一つ
kuroku nigori uzumaku yabou
yami ni hisomu kuwadate yo
keredo kono me tabakare wa senu
shin’jitsu wa tsune ni hitotsu
Black, muddied, festering desire
Plots lurking in the darkness
My eyes will not be deceived
The truth exists only as one…
理解者など求めずとさえ
誰とも分かち合えぬもの
孤独を抱き震えながらも
心地よさにほくそ笑む
rikaisha nado motomezu to sae
dare tomo wakachiaenu mono
kodoku wo daki furuenagara mo
kokochiyosa ni hokusoemu
Even without searching for sympathizers
I know there is no one who can understand me
Even as she shivers, embracing her loneliness
She snickers at the comfort it brings her
「私たち」という幻想も
「私」という現実も
「私」の産物なら
――あなたはどうなの？
“watashitachi” to iu gen’sou mo
“watashi” to iu gen’jitsu mo
“watashi” no san’butsu nara
-anata wa dou nano?
If the fantasy of “we”
And the reality of “me”
Are both “my” creations…
-Then what about you?
誰もがみな 己の意味を持つ
己の意味を知り その意味の中で
dare mo ga mina
onore no imi wo shiri
sono no imi no naka de
onore no imi wo motsu
Everyone out there
Once they know their significance
Within that significance
They take on their own meaning
そう はじまりの単純さと充ち満ちる反抗心
けして手放すことも叶わぬ重き原罪を負って
sou hajimari no tan’jun’sa to michimichiru han’koushin’
keshite tebanasu koto mo kanawanu omoki gainen’ wo otte
Yes, in the beginning there was simplicity and an overflowing sense of rebellion
What humanity then bore, was a heavy sin, a concept they could never let go of
そう 誰にも縛られぬセカイを希求する自由意志
我らが手に＜原初の発想＞の絶えずあることを
sou dare ni mo shibararenu sekai wo kikyuu suru jiyuuishi
warera ga te ni old motif no taezu aru koto wo
Yes, that thirst for freedom, for a world in which no one will be tied down
May that old motif, the original creativity in our hands never expire!
誰もがみな 己の世界を持つ
己の理想を見て その幻想の先に
dare mo ga mina
onore no yume wo mite
sono yume no saki ni
onore no yume wo motsu
Everyone out there
Once they see their dreams, their ideals
Beyond those dream, those illusions
They lift up their own dreams, their worlds
そう はじまりはみな同じくおしまいはみな“特別”
皆それぞれ 癒せぬ中二病を抱えて生きていく
sou hajimari wa mina onajiku oshimai wa mina “tokubetsu”
min’na sorezore iyasenu fushigi wo kakaete ikiteiku
Yes, in the beginning everyone is the same, but by the end, everyone is “special”
Everyone out there lives embracing an unhealable sickness of mystery, of fantastic delusions
そう 止められぬ生きる力と限界なき思う力
我らが手に＜原初の空想＞の絶えずあることを
sou tomerarenu ikiru chikara to gen’kai naki omou chikara
warera ga te ni old motif no taezu aru koto wo
Yes, that unstoppable power to life, that limitless power to imagine!
May that old motif, the original creativity in our hands never expire!
『手を握る二人だけの世界』などは
利己的でエゴイスティックな発想だと思うけれど
“te wo nigiru futari dake no sekai” nado wa
rikoteki de egotistic na omoi da to omou keredo
Even though the concept of “a world just for us two, together”
Is one that is selfish and egotistic in my opinion…
今ここに床を同じくするあなただって
違う夢 見ているなんて限らないのだから……
ima koko ni toko wo onajiku suru anata datte
chigau yume miteiru nan’te kagiranai no dakara……
The fact that we right now share the same bed, the same source…
You can’t really say it’s impossible that we share the same dream…
