[English]

Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak

Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak

Rain beats on my heart, where am I wandering?

Wishes and tears welling up, never withering

Unleashing, words that weave a curse

Mie neg on giek giek

Nah phas tezze lah

Wow-hey-wow

A hymn of salvation that overturns even death

The savior who was asked for

Lost in the midst of prayer

I only beg for a future where the sea is calm

That arrogant, rude lament

To sorrow without inertia, oblivion

Now, let's put an end to this era of chaos

Now, freely blah blah blah!

Unconditionally, absolutely, if enraged, singing the song

Even if it's just abuse and slander, singing the song

The myriad Big Bang, with deep affection

Rage, gather, sing, the score of destruction

Mie neg on giek giek

Nah phas tezze lah

Wow-hey-wow

Sworn freedom in hand, celebrate!

The savior who was prostrated to

Hope desired at the end of escape

Adorned with an unforgettable light

Play on until your body gives out

Revere in a waking dream

The light that illuminates everything

Now, freely blah blah blah!

That arrogant, rude lament

Even the echoes of encouragement, oblivion

Now, let's put an end to this era of chaos

Now, freely blah blah blah!

Unconditionally, absolutely, if enraged, singing the song

Even if it's just abuse and slander, singing the song

The myriad Big Bang, with deep affection

Rage, gather, sing, the score of destruction

Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah

Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak

Gah zan tak gah zan tat tat brak

Key Grammar Structures

• 雨打つ心 彷徨う何処

  ➔ Verb (non-past) + Noun (descriptive)

  ➔ The verb "打つ" (utsu - to hit) in non-past form modifies the noun "心" (kokoro - heart), describing the heart as being hit by rain. This is a common way to create evocative descriptions in Japanese.

• 枯れ果てず湧く願いと涙

  ➔ Verb (Negative Aru/U) + Verb + Noun + Noun

  ➔ "枯れ果てず" (karekatezu - without withering completely) is the negative form of "枯れ果てる" (to wither completely). It modifies the verb "湧く" (waku - to spring forth), indicating that even though something is withering, a wish and tears still emerge.

• 解き放つ 呪を紡ぐ言の葉

  ➔ Verb (Present Tense) + Particle を + Verb (Present Tense) + Noun

  ➔ "解き放つ" (tokihanatsu - to release) acts on the noun phrase "呪を紡ぐ言の葉" (noroi wo tsumugu kotonoha - words that weave a curse). The particle "を" indicates the direct object of the action. Here, it paints a vivid image of releasing words that weave a curse.

• 求められたる救世主

  ➔ Passive Voice (Rare Archaic form) + Noun

  ➔ "求められたる" (motomeraretaru) is an archaic passive form of "求められる" (motomerareru - to be sought). The "-rareru" conjugation indicates the passive, but the added "-taru" gives it a more formal, almost mythical or literary feel. The phrase translates to 'the savior who is sought after'.

• その傲岸無礼な慟哭を

  ➔ Demonstrative Pronoun + Adjective (na-adjective) + Noun + Particle

  ➔ "その" (sono - that) is a demonstrative pronoun. "傲岸無礼な" (gouganbureina - arrogant and rude) is a *na*-adjective modifying "慟哭" (doukoku - lament, wail). The particle "を" marks the direct object. The phrase translates to 'that arrogant and rude lament'.

• 惰性なき愁いには忘却を

  ➔ Noun + Negative Adjective (i-adjective transformed) + Noun + Particle には + Noun + Particle を

  ➔ "惰性なき" (dasei naki - without inertia) functions as an adjective modifying "愁い" (urai - sorrow). "なき" (-naki) is a literary way to negate an *i*-adjective. "忘却を" (boukyaku wo - oblivion) is marked as the direct object with "を". The particle "には" (ni wa) adds emphasis to the preceding phrase. The phrase suggests that sorrow without inertia should be met with oblivion.

• いざ無礙に blah blah blah!

  ➔ Adverb (archaic) + Adverb (na-adjective transformed)

  ➔ "いざ" (iza) is an archaic adverb meaning 'come now!' or 'let's go!'. "無礙に" (muge ni) is an adverb derived from the *na*-adjective "無礙な" (muge na - unimpeded, unobstructed). The combination creates a sense of urgency and freedom to act without restraint.
