Newbie's hello and my take on Iris~Shiawase no Hako
Hi there!
Just finished the Diabolical box game and I couldn't help crying over the instrumental.
Kinda knew they had the Japanese vocals stuffed somewhere so I went about looking for it.
It was good... but I didn't know what the singer was trying to convey.
Like my Japanese is very very bad.... ><;
So here's my take on Iris~Shiawase no Hako if anyone ever tried singing it in English.
Not a good writeup though and it's just a draft. ^^;;;;
Also, It's written from Sophia's perspective!
--------------------------------------------------------------
When I walked out the door that day
I prayed silently
To embrace your last figure
And never forget it
As I left on that train
Departing far from you
You were always on my mind
And never far away
Hold still my heart
And never waver
Don't shade a tear
Be strong inside
Live on and try
To protect this life
That we gave our hopes and dreams together
I put my feelings for you inside this box
All the memories and the emotions
that were etched deep in my heart
No matter how hard the times have been before
I pray you believe that I still love you
As I did years ago
Times have passed and gone
My heart still rests on you
I wanted to rush back home
but I couldn't leave
I kept going forward
Never moving back
People kept telling me
That I should let go
Forgive and forget
How could I
You are the only one for me
Depart from there
And never go back
to the arms of the man who truly loved me
You put your feelings for me inside this box
All the memories and the emotions
that were etched deep in your heart
No matter how hard the times have been before
I know you still love me like before
As I did years ago
Tell me what should I do
When my heart yearns to be beside you
If things had been different
If we could be together
Embraced beside each other arms
Until the end
I put my feelings for you inside this box
All the memories and the emotions
that were etched deep in my heart
No matter how hard the times have been before
I pray we could meet once again
Like the time at the ball
You put your feelings for me inside this box
All the memories and the emotions
that were etched deep in your heart
No matter how hard the times have been before
I know you still love me like before
And it'd never ever change

I contemplated adding the whole granddaughter bit, the part about the smile, and her founding the new village. There was also more of the ball and the portrait that I thought should have gone in as well... since those are the only memories I can think of her with Anton that were featured in the game... >
