【Uta no ☆ Prince-sama ♪】 lyrics: Koizakura ／ Sanctuary
I'm in the midst of moving back home after graduating, which means (1) I'm so sore I can barely move after lifting all my crap, and (2) I'm also fairly busy trying to figure out where I'm going to put all this stuff! It multiplied since I moved into the dorms four years ago... =_=
Anyway, with this I am just two weeks behind on translating the new UtaPri releases. But just to let the records show, I do have all of the recent song releases/requests romanized. It's just a matter of getting the translations done and posting them as I find the time.
Now for my usual spiel:
- Masato's two new songs have completely different feels to them, at least to me. "Koizakura" is all serious, and the intensity with which he sings builds the more often he repeats "horeta omae ni otoko michi". "Sanctuary" has a much lighter, slightly more upbeat feel to it.
("Koizakura")
- Just so you know, "karan... koron..." (which I translated as "clip-clop") refer to the sound effects that walking in geta make. ("karan" = "clip"; "koron" = "clop"). It looked too weird to me to split them like I was maybe supposed to, so there you go.
- Also, I have never before ever seen the verb combination of "kitta" and "hatta" before, and clearly neither has anyone else, since I saw several different interpretations for this lyric. My first reaction was "cut+paste" since "kiru" = "to cut" and "haru" = "to paste" as the first definitions listed for each verb, but they have several alternate meanings. My interpretation here for the whole line is roughly "a love song that has been overused to the point that it is now ragged and frayed," shortened to "An overly abused love song".
(Sanctuary)
- I didn't think I had any comments for this one, but it turns out I did have one concerning the translation. Mainly, the one stanza that mentions memory three separate times. Here's the difference as I understand it: the first mentioning "kioku" refers to regular stuff you remember or memorize, so I used "recollections"; the second usage "omoide" has more emotional attachment to whatever it is being remembered; and then they decided to go the whole nine yards and throw in the English term "memories," which can have either connotation.
- I had "Yes/No" playing through my head every time I read this title~ (In case you didn't get the reference there, Yunoki from Corda has an image song called "SANCTUARY ~Yes/No~". Speaking of which, I'm really behind on those translations as well... *sigh*)
Next up is Otoya's new idol songs~ Btw, everyone been keeping up with the anime? Cecil's episode was special, to say the least. So they're NOT just hallucinating all of those multi-colored shoujo sparkles! XD

諸行無常のこゝろにすっと お前の音色が響き伝う
千手の滝は辛くはないが 恋の雨はツンと胸刺す
ひらり…ひらり…儚く落ちる
終(つい)の姿教わる夢よ
恋色桜が嗚呼…吹雪いています
花嵐のように嗚呼…吹雪いています
爆発しそうな程想いは募り
春映し煙る水飛沫
切った張ったの愛の歌
惚れたお前に男道
恥じる事ない大人になったら 思いの丈をお前に云う
夜風を共に晴れ着を纏い 番いの傘で下駄を鳴らそう
からん…ころん…その音は遠く
生まれ往くは 新しい調べ
恋色桜はそう…過ぎし彼の日の
二人の出会いを 祝福するだろう
爆発しそうな程想いは猛り
苦しく胸を締め付ける
盲目な程愛の歌
惚れたお前に男道
恋色桜が嗚呼…吹雪いています
花嵐のように嗚呼…吹雪いています
爆発しそうな程想いは募り
春を待つ冬の気持ちかな
天に届けよ愛の歌
惚れたお前に男道

Translation:
Your sound suddenly resonated within my impermanent heart
The waterfall of thousands caused me no pain, but a shower of love pierced my aloof heart
Lightly… Gently… The fleeting fall
Learning of the end through a dream
Love-colored cherry blossoms, ah… They’re blowing about
Like a storm of petals, ah… They’re blowing about
These feelings worsen to where it feels like they’re about to explode
Into a hazy spray that reflects the spring
An overly abused love song
Is a man’s way of showing he’s in love with you
If I had become a adult without shame, I’d tell you how I truly feel
Dressed in our finest, sharing an umbrella together against the night wind, our geta seem to ring
Clip-clop… Clip-clop… That distant sound
Is giving rise to a new melody
Love-colored cherry blossoms seem…reminiscent of that day long past
It’s like a blessing that we two could meet
These feelings are raging to where it feels like they’re about to explode
Painfully wrenching my heart
A blind love song
Is a man’s way of showing he’s in love with you
Love-colored cherry blossoms, ah… They’re blowing about
Like a storm of petals, ah… They’re blowing about
These feelings worsen to where it feels like they’re about to explode
Like the feeling of winter waiting for the spring
A love song to the heavens
Is a man’s way of showing he’s in love with you

ゆきたい
哀しき想いも涙も経験も
笑顔への道標だから
そのすべて束ねてぐっと握り締めて
いつしかその手は何かを守る為
優しさに変わる日が来ると
手紙のようにこの歌よ
明日に届いて
翳した目映い太陽の光へと
夢のロードはまだ続いて
ZEROになる気持ちを忘れず
走りゆこう
刹那の一瞬一瞬を大切に
そして聖域(サンクチュアリ)の彼方

Translation:
“How long had it been?” This distance we’ve traveled
Looking back
A bud to a flower
They’re not recollection
They’ve become “memories”
These gentle memories
Are still layers on the keyboard
And I…
(Could I make your dreams?)
Since I first heard your song
(Could I make your dreams?)
On that unforgettable day,
(Could I make your dreams?)
Am I able to truly fall in love?
These pure feelings within my heart, (Wishing, wishing)
I believe in them
Into the dazzling sunlight overhead
The road of dreams still continues
Without forgetting what we felt like at zero,
Let’s continue running forward
With every instant of every precious moment,
And even beyond this sanctuary,
I’ll sing this endless musical score
Our journey shall never end
Though the spring rains seem somewhat painful,
The cherry blossoms lining the roadside
Are gently soaked
The language of flowers suddenly swooped down
With a powerful sweetness
There in your beautiful spirit
And I…
(Could I sing your song?)
This moving heartbeat
(Could I sing your song?)
Accompany this melody
(Could I sing your song?)
Into the blue sky to come,
I want to play this resonating sound (Praying, praying)
Together with the breeze
All your sorrow, tears, and experiences
Will guide you towards your smile,
So gather them all in your arms and hold them close
Before I realize it, in order to protect something with my own hands,
The day will come when this changes into tenderness, and
In the form of a letter, this song
Will arrive tomorrow
Into the dazzling sunlight overhead
The road of dreams still continues
Without forgetting what we felt like at zero,
Let’s continue running forward
With every instant of every precious moment,
And even beyond this sanctuary,
I’ll sing this endless musical score
Our journey shall never end
