華火

• By: 和楽器バンド

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

導火線を開いて

Open the fuse

あと5秒くらい

About 5 seconds left

暗闇を照らす

Illuminating the darkness

誘惑の灯

The light of temptation

湖上に揺れるは

Swaying on the lake

君の幻

Is your illusion

高鳴る鼓動

The heartbeat rises

いつかみた夢

A dream I once saw

儚く消えゆく

Fleetingly fading away

強い眼差しの先

Beyond the strong gaze

その目に映るは

What reflects in those eyes

愛を叫んだって

Even if I shout love

蠢く欲望に

To the writhing desires

あぁ溺れゆくままで

Ah, until I drown

鳴り響け空に

Resound in the sky

火華散る

Fire blossoms scatter

さぁ時よ止まれ

Now, time, stop

懺悔に咲く華火

The fire flower blooms in confession

迷い込み続け

Continuing to wander

残り香に酔う

Intoxicated by the lingering scent

執着の魔

The magic of obsession

雲間に浮かぶは

Floating between the clouds

君の微笑み

Is your smile

もう抗えずに

No longer able to resist

心試すような

Like testing my heart

淡い瞬き

A faint twinkle

無情に刻む今

Cruelly marking the now

はじまりの合図を

The signal of the beginning

愛を避けんなって

Don't avoid love

さんざめく 残像に

In the dazzling afterimage

あぁ流れゆくままで

Ah, until it flows away

舞い上がれ空に

Soar into the sky

花輪開く

The flower crown opens

さぁ時よ廻れ

Now, time, turn

夜を憂う僅かな光に

In the slight light that worries the night

彩る2人の影

The shadows of the two are colored

愛を止めないで

Don't stop loving

彷徨う感情に

To the wandering emotions

そう移りゆくままで

So until it changes

燃え尽きろ空に

Burn out in the sky

枯れるまで

Until it withers

愛を叫んだって

Even if I shout love

蠢く欲望に

To the writhing desires

あぁ溺れゆくままで

Ah, until I drown

鳴り響け空に

Resound in the sky

火華散る

Fire blossoms scatter

さぁ時よ止まれ

Now, time, stop

Grammar:

• 導火線を開いて

  ➔ て-form of verbs (verb + て)

  ➔ The て-form here indicates a sequence of actions: "open the fuse and..."

• 湖上に揺れるは

  ➔ は as topic marker with emphasis (contrastive は)

  ➔ The particle "は" emphasizes what is swaying on the lake, contrasting it with other possibilities. It's not just anything, but specifically something wavering on the lake.

• 愛を叫んだって

  ➔ 〜たって/〜でも (even if/even though)

  ➔ "愛を叫んだって" means "even if you shout love" or "even though you shout love". It indicates a condition that doesn't change the outcome.

• 蠢く欲望に

  ➔ に (indirect object marker)

  ➔ The particle "に" indicates the indirect object, showing where the action is directed. Here, the verb 'drowning' or 'being submerged' is directed at the 'wriggling desires'.

• 執着の魔

  ➔ の (possessive/attributive particle)

  ➔ "執着の魔" (shūchaku no ma) means "demon of attachment" or "demon of obsession". The particle "の" connects the noun "執着" (shūchaku, attachment/obsession) and the noun "魔" (ma, demon). It's showing that the "demon" is *of* or related to "attachment/obsession".

• もう抗えずに

  ➔ ～ずに (negative adverbial form of verbs - alternative to ～ないで)

  ➔ "抗えずに" means "without resisting" or "unable to resist". It's the negative adverbial form of the verb "抗う" (araga-u, to resist). It functions similarly to "抗わないで", but it's a bit more formal and poetic.

• 愛を避けんなって

  ➔ 〜な (prohibition - strong negative command)

  ➔ "避けんなって" (yaken natte) is a more emphatic, almost rough, way of saying "do not avoid". "～な" is a strong prohibitive form. The "って" adds emphasis and a casual tone.
