Talk:千本桜 (Senbonzakura)/@comment-100.36.178.181-20190313234318

Someone on youtube made an alternate translation under the project diva video I kind of like better (The meaning seems more of propaganda and its effects (abandoning traditional values if they don't suit the agenda, loss of respect for life), which was more the feel I got from the song and the video's lyrics (clunky as they may have been), and I feel like the current one just takes too many liberties).

the dauntless High-collar revolution

openminded anti-war country

Rolling a bicycle with the rising sun

disintegrate the evil spirits

running through the belt line, being on the move is no big deal

boys and girls, glory awaits awaits after death in battle

o thousand cherry trees covered by the night, your voice can not reach us either

it is a feast in this steel cage,

take a look from that guillotine

the three thousand worlds, in eternal darkness.

sorrowful songs can not be heard either.

the indigo sky is far away, shoot it with that ray gun

a veteran officer can be seen coming and going to the place of a courtesan

you, and you, and everyone come and see the saints are marching. one, two, three, four

Pass through Zenjou Gate, a ceremonial cleansing from the land of comfort

surely our denouement will be filled with applause

o thousand cherry trees covered by the night, your voice can not reach us either

it is a feast in this steel cage, take a look from that guillotine

the three thousand worlds, in eternal darkness.

sorrowful songs can not be heard either

the hill of hope is far away, launch that flash grenade

running through the belt line, being on the move is no big deal

boys and girls, glory awaits awaits after death in battle

o thousand cherry trees covered by the night, your voice can not reach us either

it is a feast in this steel cage, jump off from that guillotine

o thousand cherry trees covered by the night, you sing and I will dance

it is a feast in this steel cage, now shoot it down with that ray gun
