User blog:Vaffisuco/11th of May by Otetsu Tentative Translation

Continuing the streak of re-translations from my Youtube channel. Have recieved permission from the creator themselves that lets me not only translate, but hard-sub and upload those videos onto Youtube. Song page on this Wikia can be found here.

その日のあなたは　いつもと変わらぬようで

On that day, with nothing particularily out of place

どこか冷めた態度で　遠く見つめていた

You gazed far into the distance, somewhat reserved

手の平を返した神が笑った

All of a sudden, God has turned his back on me and laughed

途切れた　夢

And cut short my dreams

手のひらを反す is a saying that means 'something (usually one's behavior, or what one says) has taken a complete turn around and does the opposite in of what was stated apruptly'. I likened this word to 裏切る and decided to translate this line along using this train of thought.

五月　晴れ渡る空

The clear and beautiful May sky

約束はもう跡形もなく消え

Our promises have already vanished, without leaving a trace

希望も失い　心は壊れて

Even losing my hope, my heart breaks

夢はあまりにも残酷に崩れた

My dreams completely crushed by cruelty

体が震えだし　止まらない

I can't keep my body from trembling

意識はただ白く　何も考えられなくて

My mind is blank, and I can’t think of anything

時計の針が刻む　音が虚しい

The ticking sound of the clock is vacant and devoid of meaning

夕闇に消えた愛が　苦しくて悔しくて

Our love that vanished within the dark is painful and vexing

五月　晴れ渡る空

The clear and beautiful May sky

約束はもう跡形もなく消え

Our promises have already vanished, without leaving a trace

希望も失い　心は壊れて

Even losing my hope, my heart breaks

夢はあまりにも残酷に崩れた

My dreams completely crushed by this cruelty

遠く離れていく　あなたの残像

The traces of you go far, far away

行き場を失った　想いは何処へ

With no place to go, where should my emotions go?

泣きながらあなたの名前を呼んだ

泣きながらあなたの名前を呼んだ

As I cry, I called out your name.

五月十一日　約束は跡形も無く消え

On the 11th of May, our promise vanished, without a trace

壊された心　生きる意味がないと

Heart broken, if there is no meaning to live,

粉々になった夢を抱えて

I’ll just carry along the shattered fragments of my dreams

五月十日　あなたは笑って

On the 10th of May, you smiled

そして僕も　素直に笑い

So I too gave a heart-felt smile

何も知らず幸せだった

A blissfulness where neither of us knew what was coming

希望も失い　心は壊れて

Even losing my hope, my heart breaks

夢はあまりにも残酷に崩れた

My dreams completely crushed by this cruelty
