Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
ぱらぱら散る　火薬の匂い	parapara chiru kayaku no nioi	The scent of gunpowder sprinkles down.
セメント越しの春　異常ナシ、私情アリ	sementogoshi no haru ijou nashi, shijou ari	The spring beyond the cement possesses no abnormalities, but definite sentiments.
「戻らないでしょ」どうしても	"modoranai desho" doushite mo	”It’s probably not coming back,” no matter what;
穴ぼこだらけの愛なんて	anaboko darake no ai nante	this love that’s full of holes.

ほらまた散る火薬の匂い	hora mata chiru kayaku no nioi	Look, it’s coming down again; the scent of gunpowder.
剥がれた現実(リアル)と思考回路哨戒	hagareta riaru to shikou kairo shoukai	Reality peels away and I patrol my train of thought.
貴方はまだ夢のなか	anata wa mada yume no naka	You were still deep within a dream,
蠱毒(コドク)を抱えたまま	kodoku o kakaeta mama	carrying a deadly poison.

あの日こぼした命の余りが	ano hi koboshita inochi no amari ga	Since so much of it spilled out of me that day, I’ve spent the life I’ve got left
“ありがとう”などと喚いてる	"arigatou" nado to wameiteru	crying out words like “thank you”
・・・・	・・・・	・・・・
―ふざけんなよもう息止まりさ	fuzaken na yo mou ikitomari sa	—Give me a break! I’ve already stopped breathing.

さらばトーチカ “許してくれ”とは言わないが	saraba toochika "yurushite kure" to wa iwanai ga	Farewell, Tochka. I won’t ask you to “forgive me,” but,
どうかその正義で僕を”吊るしてくれ”よ	douka sono seigi de boku o" tsurushite kure" yo	please, with that righteousness of yours, I want you to “hang me^[2]” instead.
錯綜した終着点お別れなのさ僕ら	sakusou shita shuuchakuten owakare nano sa bokura	The ends have gotten complicated. This is where we bid goodbye
手向けた花と、火薬の匂い	tamuketa hana to, kayaku no nioi	to the tributed flowers and the scent of gunpowder.

さらば	saraba	Farewell,
トーチカトーチカ	toochika toochika	Tochka, Tochka,
トーチカ相のうた	toochika ai no uta	Tochka, a song of togetherness.

穴空け、埋め奈落と光	ana ake, ume naraku to hikari	We open a hole and bury them, the abyss and the light.
セメント越しの春　私情ナシ、異常アリ	sementogoshi no haru shijou nashi, ijou ari	The spring beyond the cement possesses no sentiments, but definite abnormalities.
目覚めた貴方に刺す現実(リアル)	mezameta anata ni sasu riaru	The reality that stabs at you after you’ve woken up
命、穿つ、我侭	inochi, ugatsu, wagamama	is a selfishness that bores into your life force.

ひとつの命を守る兵器が	hitotsu no inochi o mamoru heiki ga	Even if one life-saving weapon
何百の果実噛み砕いても	nanbyaku no kajitsu kamikudaite mo	could pulverize hundreds of fruits,^[3]

ひとつの心を繋ぐ決意が	hitotsu no kokoro o tsunagu ketsui ga	even if the decision to imbue it with a heart
何千の火花をぶちまけても	nansen no hibana o buchimakete mo	could kick up thousands of sparks,

目覚めたひとつのそのてのひらが	mezameta hitotsu no sono tenohira ga	even if the single palm that woke up
正義を”解(し)ろう”と叫んでも	seigi o "shirou" to sakende mo	calls out, “I’ll perform (realize)” justice,
・・・・・	・・・・・	・・・・・
夢見るなよ、僕は逝き損ないさ	yumemiru na yo, boku wa ikisokonai sa	don’t dream, since I’m just someone who failed to die.

だからトーチカ “解ってくれ”とは言わないが	dakara toochika "wakatte kure" to wa iwanai ga	And that’s why, Tochka, I won’t ask you to “understand,” but,
どうかその毒で僕を枯らしてくれよ	douka sono doku de boku o karashite kure yo	please, with that poison of yours, I want you to dry me up^[4] instead.
ああグロリア焼失点お別れなのさ僕ら	aa guroria shoushitten o wakare na no sa bokura	Ah, Gloria, we’ve reached our combustion point. This is where we bid goodbye
手向けた花は、貴方の…	tamuketa hana wa, anata no…	to our tributed flowers, your…

だからどっちが　正しかろうと関係ないわ	dakara docchi ga tadashikarou to kankeinai wa	And that’s why it doesn’t matter which way is right!
どうかその兵器で僕をぶち抜いてよ	douka sono heiki de boku o buchi nuite yo	So please, with that weapon of yours, punch into me, all the way through.
最期の言葉が　“ありがとう”などと喚くもんだから	saigo no kotoba ga "arigatou" nado to wameku mon dakara	The final words I cry out are things like “thank you,” after all,
―ふざけんなよ　もうさよならなんだよ	―fuzaken na yo mou sayonara nanda yo	—Give me a break! This is goodbye for good.

トーチカトーチカ	toochika toochika	Tochka, Tochka,
トーチカ愛のうた	toochika ai no uta	Tochka, a song of love.

Translation Notes

↑ Though Tochka in Japanese means pillbox (the military structure, not the medicinal storage device or the style of hat), it seems to be the smaller character’s name in the song, so I left the title as is. Incidentally, Точка just means “point” in Russian; it came to its Japanese meaning as an abbreviation of долговременная огневая точка, “long-term ignition point,” what is apparently the formal Russian name for a pillbox.
↑ The word used here, 吊るして, (tsurushite, ”hang me”) is a near-homophone with 許して, (yurushite, “forgive me”)
↑ The word choice here is literally 果実 and 噛み砕く, which mean “fruit” and “to crunch/chew” respectively (噛み砕く is also used to mean “to explain/simplify” or “to put in layman’s terms” and the like, though that meaning seems to make even less contextual sense). My guess is, given what’s going on in the PV here, that they’re both metaphors—“fruit” as in people, most likely, and “crunch” as in to decimate easily.
↑ Same idea as earlier, though the words don’t sound as similar—解って “wakatte” (to understand) and 枯らして “karashite” (to let dry, to kill vegetation via letting it dry out)
