Lyrics:

Hi Käärijä Hi Bess Haluuksä lähtee ajeleen? Tottakai tottakai Okei, let's go

Mä en haluu nukkuu sun kaa Mulla oli mieles muuta En haluu asuntolainaa, mitään vakiopaikkaa, lähtee talvee pakoon Espanjaan Jos hiljaisuutta puuttuu, mun kaa niin aika hiton harvoin sitä saat niin sano, oisko se OK, jos ei osteta Volvoo Oltais naapurin kaa kolmistaan

Mullei oo pelkääjälle paikkaa Mä painan kaasun pohjaan

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Mulla on isääntymisen aikeet, mut lisääntymisen paineet Tääl on synnytystalkoot, olkoot, yks hailee Elämä on yht Lintsii, mut käymät vielä kaikki laitteet Ikääntyminen on iisii, mut mut kasvu vaan niin vaikeet

Taas viikonloppuna hiiala-hiiala-hopsansaa Näin huputiti-hummani laukkaa jälleen Möttönen pöydässä poksahtaa, se on viikon Koistinen kaupan päälle Äiti pojastaan pappia toivoi, sai sadomasokistisen toyboyn, se on henkilökohtainen voi-voi-voi-voi-voi

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Jotain liikoja haluan kai, et aina ois lauantai, mä (en) syntyny vaan synnyttämään Jotain liikoja haluan kai, et aina ois lauantai, mä en syntyny vaan synnyttämään

Ajan omaa kaistaa, Viel ku on aikaa, Vielä ku on bensaa suonissa, Sä voit hyppää kyytiin tai jäädä nyyhkiin, Miettii jonkun toisen huolia, Ajan omaa kaistaa, Voit tulla maistaa nopeeta elämää mun huulilta, Mun sydän on täynnä, Sit ku tankki on tyhjä, Aion elää ku oon elossa

Translation:

Hi Käärijä Hi Bess Do you wanna go for a drive? Of course of course Okay, let's go

I don't want to sleep next to you (translator's note 1) I had something else in mind I don't want a mortgage, a regular haunt (t.n. 2), go to Spain to escape the winter If silence is missing, with me well you're going to get that so damn rarely so say, would it be OK, if we didn't buy a Volvo Would be throuple with the neighbour (t.n. 3)

I don't have a place/seat for someone who's afraid (t.n. 4) I'm putting the pedal to the metal

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, (ref. 1) You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

I have intentions to become a dad, but the pressure to reproduce There's a childbirth bee (t.n. 5) going on here, whatever, I don't care Life is an (Linnanmäki) amusement park, but I haven't been to all the rides yet Aging is easy but growing up is just so difficult

On the weekend hiiala-hiiala-hopsansaa again Here's how my huputiti-horsey gallops again (ref. 2) Moët & Chandon/Champagne pops at the table, it's a week-long hangover on the house Mom wanted her son to become a priest (ref. 3) What she got was a sadomasochistic toyboy That's a personal oh-dear-dear-dear-dear

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

I guess I want too much something That it'd always be Saturday I wasn't born just to give birth I guess I want too much something That it'd always be Saturday I wasn't born just to give birth

I drive on my own lane, While there's still time, While there's still petrol in the veins, You can jump in (or: you can ride with me), Or stay and sob, Thinking about someone else's worries, I drive on my own lane, You can come and taste fast life from my lips, My heart is full, Once the fuel tank is empty, I'm going to live while I'm alive

translator's notes: 1: technically "I don't want to sleep with you", but sleep as in, actual sleep 2: could also be "a permanent job"? 3: could also be "would have a threesome with the neighbour"? 4: shotgun seat in Finnish can be called "pelkääjän paikka", lit. the seat/place of the afraid one 5: synnytys = childbirth, giving birth, talkoot = bee (as in, voluntary, unpaid gathering for carrying out a major task, such as harvesting or construction, as a community)

Panic Attack

雨會來沒人能躲開 - Rain will come, no one can escape...

🖌Commission

獨行 Walking alone - 劉暢木法沙 Liú Chàng Mufasa

自以為我的獨特•不過只是人群里最最普通•像人行道縫隙終日奔波的小蟲

自以為我的心胸可以很大•大到能裝下天空•卻在嘗試飛起的時候被現實戳了一個洞

越是想逃越是吵鬧•我聽不到最想聽的話•理想在左腳步往右•我不敢動不敢回答

是誰說青春很明亮•很燦爛應該笑着看•為什麼我的眼裡全是滿滿攔不住的慌

是誰說夢想很明亮•很燦爛應該更勇敢•我向著光走來卻走進流言的霧霾

雨會來沒人能躲開

What I thought was special about myself was nothing but the most ordinary in the crowd•Like that of a restless bug rushing about, day in day out, in the cracks of a sidewalks

I thought my aspirations were big, big enough to contain the sky•But reality punched a hole when I tried to take flight

The more I try to escape, the more deafening it gets•I can't hear what I want to hear the most

Ideals on the left, my steps on the wrong side•I don't dare to move, I don't dare to answer

Who said youth is bright and replendent•That one should smile to it•Why are my eyes overflowing with irrepressible panic instead

Who said that dreams are bright and replendent•That one should be more courageous•I walked towards the light•but all I found was a smog of gossip

Rain will come, no one can escape it

「貴方の声が色褪せようとも、盟約の歌がその胸に届きますように」 Even if Your Voice Fades, May the Song of Our Covenant Still Reach Your Heart

Sebastian Character Song — Translation & Notes

This is one of the character songs sung by Daisuke Ono for the third disc of Kuroshitsuji Sound Complete Black Box. Spoiler: it feels like Sebastian’s poem about the night their contract was made.

This song has to be my favorite piece across the entire soundtrack. Ever since I first heard it, I wanted to merge with it — to drown in the melody, the poetry, the vocals, the quiet ringing of bells that emphasizes every verse. It was literally the reason I started learning Japanese. And now, ten years later, I finally get to give something back.

P.S. Japanese is highly contextual and often ambiguous, especially in poetry. I did my best to stay true not just to the meaning, but to the feeling of the song as I hear it. I’ve also included a more in-depth version with personal notes below. Please feel free to share your personal interpretation. I'd geniunely love to know.

P.P.S. If that's your cup of tea, I also made a slowed/reverbed version with boosted vocals and strings — it scratches my brain just right → Google Drive

P.P.P.S. Fun-fact: the “gibberish” at the beginning is actually the song title played in reverse.

Without further ado—here are the lyrics and translation.

—

刹那　希望　剥がれ 意識　失い　遠く聞こえるる涙 今夜　命　惹かれ 業火 蝕み　暗黒に潜みながら

A fleeting moment — hope is torn away Consciousness fades — tears echo in the distance Tonight, life itself is drawn under Hellfire consumes, lurking in the dark

満月の闇に落ち 主に仕える翼 絶望を見つめている その孤独を護れるのなら

Falling into the full moon’s darkness Wings in service to my master Gazing directly into despair If I can protect that loneliness—

I guard you どんなに暗い琥珀より どんなに蒼い髪より どんなに赤い記憶より 狂おしく

I will guard you No matter how deep the darkness, No matter how cold the sorrow, No matter how painful the past, To the point of madness

全てを失うう時が来ても 最期の痛みに変えても それが、赦し得られるならば

Even if everything is lost one day, Even if it ends in nothing but pain, If it grants you release, it is enough.

理性　硝子　崩れ 決意影で甘く仄暗くゆらめく炎 身体　視線　刻まれ 絆　悲鳴　美意識すら　削りながら

Reason shatters like glass In the shadow of resolve, a dark, sweet flame flickers The gaze, engraved into the body As bonds, screams, even aesthetics are stripped away

礼節と血の海で 死の歌奏でる肱 絶命の火が灯り この惑いが消えぬのならば

Amidst decorum and a sea of blood, My arms perform a song of death The fatal flame is kindled If this hesitation does not fade—

Kill me tight こんなに白い温もりも こんなに苦い想いも こんなに遠い微笑も 愛おしく

Kill me tight Even such pure warmth, Even such bitter feelings, Even such distant smiles, All of it, I hold dear

切り裂く言葉が闇に消え この身が歌に変わっても 永久の誓い　守れる　ならば

Cutting words fade into the darkness Even if this body turns into a song If the eternal vow can still be kept—

壊れた　瞳の奥　眠る狂気 誓約の血が　降り注ぐ

Madness sleeping deep within broken eyes The blood of the covenant pours down

贖う　深紅の唇 解かれる　心の　吐息 かすかに　迷った　指先 触れそうで

Crimson lips offer atonement A breath escapes the heart Fingertips waver, just barely  Almost touching—

白刃　と　光が　疾走って 業苦の海に融けゆく それが、赦し得られるならば

A white blade and light race forward, melting into a sea of suffering, If it grants you release, it is enough.

—

Now for some yapping!

刹那　希望　剥がれ 意識　失い　遠く聞こえるる涙 今夜　命　惹かれ 業火 蝕み　暗黒に潜みながら A fleeting moment — hope is torn away Consciousness fades — tears echo in the distance Tonight, life itself is drawn under Hellfire consumes, lurking in the dark

The language here breaks into fragments, like flashes of perception rather than complete thoughts. It feels like witnessing: someone watching a soul descend, without trying to stop it. The phrase 命惹かれ ‘life itself is drawn under’ has a broader meaning of being drawn into something inevitable, almost like succumbing to fate.  And the hellfire isn’t external, it devours from within, hidden in the dark.

満月の闇に落ち 主に仕える翼 絶望を見つめている その孤独を護れるのなら Falling into the full moon’s darkness Wings in service to my master Gazing directly into despair If I can protect that loneliness—

The first verse was descent, fragmentation, loss of self, while this one is a presence emerging and choosing to stay.  The ‘full moon’s darkness’ feels like a contradiction: a world that should be illuminated, yet isn’t. Clarity that only reveals despair, beauty that contains darkness, much like Ciel himself. So “falling into it” means entering his world. The wings are not necessarily literal — they read as identity, someone that exists to serve, a being defined by devotion. Sebastian looks at Ciel’s despair, his loneliness and sees it as not something to be erased. The kanji used here 護る is not just “protect” (守る). It has a deeper sense of guarding something sacred, worth defending. There’s something gentle in that and something quietly unsettling. A vow not to change the darkness, but to remain within it.

I guard you どんなに暗い琥珀より どんなに蒼い髪より どんなに赤い記憶より 狂おしく I will guard you No matter how deep the darkness, No matter how cold the sorrow, No matter how painful the past, To the point of madness

The original lines directly translate to colours: darker than any amber, bluer than any hair, redder than any memory. But they don’t describe objects so much as states of being. Dark amber feels ancient, preserved, already heavy with time and weight. Blue carries distance, coldness, nobility. Red is a memory soaked in pain and blood. So, to tie it all together:  “I will guard you in all that you are, your past, your nature, your suffering, even if it turns unbearable.”

全てを失うう時が来ても 最期の痛みに変えても それが、赦し得られるならば Even if everything is lost one day, Even if it ends in nothing but pain, If it grants you release, it is enough.

Here, the vow sharpens. Everything may be lost and collapse into suffering, and still, if it leads to 赦し (forgiveness, permission, release)... In this context I think that translation leans more towards ‘release’ — an end to the weight carried all this time.

理性　硝子　崩れ 決意影で甘く仄暗くゆらめく炎 身体　視線　刻まれ 絆　悲鳴　美意識すら　削りながら Reason shatters like glass In the shadow of resolve, a dark, sweet flame flickers The gaze, engraved into the body As bonds, screams, even aesthetics are stripped away

Something begins to break here. Reason gives way first. What remains is resolve, but it no longer feels pure. It dimly flickers — sweet and dark. The body and the gaze become indistinct, as if something has been carved into both. Not just a mark, but a binding. And as it deepens, everything else falls away — connection, voice, the sense of beauty itself.

礼節と血の海で 死の歌奏でる肱 絶命の火が灯り この惑いが消えぬのならば Amidst decorum and a sea of blood, My arms perform a song of death The fatal flame is kindled If this hesitation does not fade—

Elegance and violence coexist without contradiction. Everything is carried out with precision like a perfect performance. The scene is painted black with blood.

Kill me tight こんなに白い温もりも こんなに苦い想いも こんなに遠い微笑も愛おしく Kill me tight Even such pure warmth, Even such bitter feelings, Even such distant smiles, All of it, I hold dear

Then, such a twist. Suddenly, something tender. “To hold and to destroy at once” — the phrase itself feels wrong, almost broken. Where before the vow endured darkness, here it expands to include everything else: warmth, pain, distance. He cherishes what makes Ciel human, even though it might destroy them both.

切り裂く言葉が闇に消え この身が歌に変わっても 永久の誓い　守れるならば Cutting words fade into the darkness Even if this body turns into a song If the eternal vow can still be kept—

Words that wound lose their shape here, dissolving into the dark. Even the body can be reduced to nothing but voice, memory, a trace. And still the vow remains unchanged.

壊れた　瞳の奥　眠る狂気 誓約の血が　降り注ぐ Madness sleeping deep within broken eyes The blood of the covenant pours down 贖う　深紅の唇 解かれる　心の　吐息 かすかに　迷った　指先 触れそうで Crimson lips offer atonement A breath escapes the heart Fingertips waver, just barely  Almost touching—

Everything narrows down to the moment of resolve. The blood of the covenant carved into a broken eye, the fingertips about to touch. The decision has been made and can’t be changed for all eternity.

白刃　と　光が　疾走って 業苦の海に融けゆく それが、赦し得られるならば A white blade and light race forward, melting into a sea of suffering, If it grants you release, it is enough.

The final moments end in action. Everything surges forward, only to dissolve into something vast and inescapable.  And still, this suffering and ruin can be embraced, if in the end it brings you freedom.

Acquiesce - Oasis 가사 번역

Acquiesce : 묵인

I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive

내가 살아있음을 느끼게 하는 게 뭔지 모르겠어

I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside

내 안에 잠들어 있는 것들을 어떻게 깨워야 할지 모르겠어

I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes

난 그저 네 눈 너머에서 빛나는 그 빛을 보고 싶어

I hope that I can say the things I wish I’d said

내가 말했더라면 좋았을 것들을 말할 수 있으면 좋겠어

To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed

내 영혼이 잠들도록 노래하고 나를 침대로 다시 데려가줘

Who wants to be alone when we can feel alive instead

우리가 살아 있음을 느낄 수 있는데, 그 누가 혼자가 되고 싶겠어?

Because we need each other

왜냐하면 우리는 서로가 필요하거든

We believe in one another

우리는 서로를 믿거든

And I know we’re going to uncover

그리고 난 우리가 밝혀내리라는 걸 알아

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

Because we need each other

왜냐하면 우리는 서로가 필요하거든

We believe in one another

우리는 서로를 믿거든

I know we’re going to uncover

그리고 난 우리가 밝혀내리라는 걸 알아

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

There are many things that I would like to know

이 세상에는 내가 알고 싶은 것들이 많이 있어

And there are many places that I wish to go

이 세상에는 내가 가고 싶은 곳들이 많이 있어

But everything’s depending on the way the wind may blow

하지만 모든 건 바람이 어느 방향으로 부느냐에 달려있지

I don’t know what it is that makes me feel alive

내가 살아있음을 느끼게 하는 게 뭔지 모르겠어

I don’t know how to wake the things that sleep inside

내 안에 잠들어 있는 것들을 어떻게 깨워야 할지 모르겠어

I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes

난 그저 네 눈 너머에서 빛나는 그 빛을 보고 싶어

Because we need each other

왜냐하면 우리는 서로가 필요하거든

We believe in one another

우리는 서로를 믿거든

And I know we’re going to uncover

그리고 난 우리가 밝혀내리라는 걸 알아

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

Because we need each other

왜냐하면 우리는 서로가 필요하거든

We believe in one another

우리는 서로를 믿거든

I know we’re going to uncover

그리고 난 우리가 밝혀내리라는 걸 알아

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

What’s sleepin’ in our soul

무엇이 우리 영혼 안에 잠들어있는지

‘Cause we believe

왜냐면 우리는 믿거든

‘Cause we believe

왜냐면 우리는 믿거든

Yeah we believe

그래 우리는 믿거든

‘Cause we believe

왜냐면 우리는 믿거든

‘Cause we believe

왜냐면 우리는 믿거든

‘Cause we believe

왜냐면 우리는 믿거든

Because we need

왜냐하면 우리는 필요하거든

Because what we need

우리가 필요로 하는 것이

Erkel Színház Elisabeth really is something. They wrote a whole new 2nd verse to the start of Prolog, instead of repeating the first one as it had been previously done in Hungarian. So naturally I had to translate it.

(I didn't put the Aber warum Lucheni? translation here, it's almost word-for-word the original; first verse's translation stolen from here with tiny modifications; rest of the lyrics same as the OG version, but Tod's part isn't the point now anyway)

There was one line I didn't understand, but!! @hazugv1lag has better ears than me so it is complete!!!

Gravedigger(/Judge): Kőrösi András

Lucheni: Serbán Attila [but on the pictures it's Ember Márk]

Death: Veréb Tamás [but on the picture it's Koltai-Nagy Balázs]

A mélybe tűnt a szép világ,

The beautiful world has disappeared into the depths

Most itt rohad a hús tovább

Now the flesh keeps rotting here

Ti szellemek, a bálra fel,

You ghosts, to the ball,

a sok halott ma táncra kel

All the dead will dance today

Vágy űz, őrült fájdalom,

Pursued by desire, maddening pain,

száz bűn, átok súlya nyom

A hundred sins, curses weigh on you

Mind, mind szenvedélybeteg,

All, all of them are addicts

bántják kényszerképzetek

Haunted by obsessions

Elisabeth, Elisabeth

Elisabeth, Elisabeth

A holtak földjén nincs helyed

There's no place for you in the land of the dead

Te senkihez se tartozol

You don't belong to anyone

Hát miért vagy itt?, csak bajt hozol

So why are you here?, you only bring trouble

Fény, tűz, melyik voltál te

Light, fire, which one were you

Mondd, most szabad-e kinek

Say, is she now free who

pénz, rang, nem kellett soha

Never wanted money or rank

Légy hát a Halál asszonya

So go be Death's Mistress!

⊹₊˚‧ Oil Painting of a Woman with a Hat ‧˚₊⊹

A woman has been lost Knowing the delirium and the dust It's been lost, this beautiful madness Her brief waist beneath me It’s been lost, my way of loving It’s been lost, my fingerprint in her sea

I see a light that vacillates And promises to leave us in darkness I see a dog barking at the moon beside another figure That’s reminiscent of me I see more, I see that she didn't find me I see more, I see that she's lost

Cowardice is a matter Of men, not of lovers Cowardly loves never become Love nor history, they just stay there Not even memory can save them Nor the finest orator conjugate them

An unnamable woman Flees like a seagull And I quickly dry my boots, blaspheme a note And turn off the clock Love better watch out for me, For I just might sing its own song

A woman with a hat Like a painting from the old man Chagall Corrupting at the center of fear And I, who am not a good man, began to cry But back then, I cried for myself Now I cry to see her die

But back then, I cried for myself Now I cry to see her die

NOTES: if you're ever going to read something non-fanfic related from me, pls read this. THIS IS A TRANSLATION OF A SONG IN SPANISH, called "oleo de una mujer con sombrero" by Silvio Rodriguez. if you can, pls go give it a listen, it's one of the most heart-wreching songs i've ever heard.

i decided to do this because I'm planning on using the lyrics for a story im working on, and i just thought that this precious lyricism deserved to be more appreciated. many times song translations are done hastely and lazily, and therefore create this idea that spanish linguistics isn't half as profound and romantic as they actually are, so i took the time to try and encapsulate the beauty and poetic quality of the song.

probably no one is gonna see this, but if you do, welcome to the beauty of Latino lyricism.
