Kalm/ lyrics: Kaya
Traces of something once past ripple
amongst the flowered chill of the night
with the delicate wafting scent of the flowers
As the gathering twilight takes me softly
to the far end of my memories

hanbie
no yoru ni
zawameku kagerou
yozakura honoka ni kaorinabiku
yoiyami ga sotto watashi o tsurete yuku
kioku no hate e to
|
|
The
rain-swept petals
Covered us softly as they fell, hid
us away
And the indulgent sin flowing from our joined lips
|
|
furishikiru
hanabira ga
harari harari to futari o kakushita
kasuneau
kuchibiru kara koboredasu
amai tsumi
|
|
In
madly dancing light pink
Made dirty oh so sweetly
The illusion lingers on, our breaths are entwined
Your voice melts in transience like bubbles on the
waves
Above
the hazy moon cries
|
| |
kuruoshiku
mau usubeni
amayaka ni yogosarete
maboroshi tadabiki karamiau iki
utakata hakanaku tokete yuku koe
oboezuki
ga naku
|
|
A
carpet of light pink staining the darkened night
One evening of eternity
|
| |
usubeni
no mousen anya
o utsuri
ichiya wa towa
|
|
Indulgent
sin flows from our joined lips
In madly dancing light pink
Made dirty oh so sweetly
|
| |
kasaneau
kuchibiru kara
koboredasu amai tsumi
kuruoshiku mau usubeni
amayaka ni yogosarete
|
|
My
faint memories float among the wind
Telling of the lies in that night we spent together
The
traces loosely eat away my vision
Upset and at an end....
|
| |
kaze
ni chiru awai omoi
majiriau yatogi no uso
yuruyuru
to shikai o hamu kagerou
midare, tsukite....
|

"As
in the long and weary rain
The hue of flowers is all gone,
So is my young grace spent in vain
In these long years I lived alone"
Above the hazy moon did cry
|
| |
[hana
no iro wa utsuri ni keri na
itazura ni wa ga mi yo ni
furu nagame seshi ma ni]
oboezuki
ga naku

Oh
oops XD
Somehow the color on this ended up being almost exactly
like the ones on Kaya's website. It's completely unintentional
though.
The
last verse is a quote from a poem written by Onono
Komachi, translation copyright the Hokuseido Press.
I
don't imagine anyone is interested in the process
of how I design the backgrounds for the lyrics and
whatnot, but if you are this might be kind of interesting.
At first I was thinking "traditional Japanese",
and even though I know nothing about traditional Japanese
aesthetics I decided to try my best to make something
that seemed traditional. Had I kept with it the page
would now look like this:
original design
But
after thinking a little more I realized that what
Kaya's doing right now wouldn't fit with that (it
looked like old people) and the idea of using that
page made me anxious. My friend made this as a suggested
background:
Gensou's background
but I still thought it was too loud for a background.
And hense this one.Thanks go to Haku and Chalchihuitlicue...I
think that's one of the monsters from Lovecraft's
book...
*hehehe pbttth*
