Japanese Romaji English
幾千の(つわもの)(かばね)越えて ikusen no tsuwamono no kabane koete Crossing over the corpses of thousands of warriors,
我が前に躍り出た 穢れ知らぬ『(おとめ) waga mae ni odorideta kegare shiranu otome a pure maiden sprung out before my eyes.[2]
戦場(いくさば)を舞い踊る翅は希望 ikusaba o maiodoru hane wa kibou Her wings dancing on the battleground are hope.
残さず握り潰そう 飛べない様に nokosazu nigiritsubusou tobenai you ni I’ll crush them, leaving none behind, so she can’t fly.

さあ その剣を抜き 踊り明かそう saa sono ken o nuki odoriakasou Now, draw your sword and dance all night
その胸の時計の針 止まるまで sono mune no tokei no hari tomaru made until the hands of your heart’s clock stop.

火花散る白銀の逢瀬に hibana chiru shirogane no ouse ni At the silver tryst, where sparks fly,
一層美しく羽ばたき舞い踊る 恐れ知らぬ蝶 issou utsukushiku habataki maiodoru osore shiranu chou a fearless butterfly flaps its wings more beautifully and dances.
敗北を知らぬ目が綺麗で haiboku o shiranu me ga kirei de Eyes that do not know defeat are beautiful.
いっそ絶望の糸深く絡み付け 縛ろうか isso zetsubou no ito fukaku karamitsuke shibarou ka Wouldn’t I rather bind them, with threads of despair deeply coiled ‘round?

長くない人生のほぼ全てを nagakunai jinsei no hobo subete o The youth spent almost all of their short life[3]
唯、一人討つ為に 費やした『勇者(わかもの) tada, hitori utsu tame ni tsuiyashita wakamono to defeat a single person.
その強さ 剣捌き 実に見事 sono tsuyosa kensabaki jitsu ni migoto Their strength and swordsmanship was truly magnificent.
だがまだ届きはしない この心臓に da ga mada todoki wa shinai kono shinzou ni Still, they won’t reach my heart yet.

なあ まだ眠るなよ 夜はこれから naa mada nemuru na yo yoru wa kore kara Come on, don’t fall asleep yet. The night’s just starting!
その胸の時計の針 止めてみろ sono mune no tokei no hari tomete miro Try and stop the hands of my heart’s clock.

揺るぎなき(きっさき)は無力で yuruginaki kissaki wa muryoku de My steady sword tip is powerless.
いっそ諦めれば楽になれるのに 手の中 藻掻く蝶 isso akiramereba raku ni nareru no ni te no naka mogaku chou The butterfly struggles in my hand, though it would sooner be at ease if it gave up.
悔しさに濡れる目に見蕩れて kuyashisa ni nureru me ni mitorete I’m charmed by its eyes, wet with chagrin.
いっそ他の誰にも奪われぬ様に 喰らおうか isso hoka no dare ni mo ubawarenu you ni kuraou ka Shall I devour it so it won’t be stolen away by anyone else?

さあ この手を掴み 共に生きよう saa kono te o tsukami tomo ni ikiyou Now, take my hand and let’s live together
お互いの時計の針 止まるまで otagai no tokei no hari tomaru made until our clocks’ hands stop.

答えなど聞かぬまま貫く 心臓 kotae nado kikanu mama tsuranuku shinzou I pierced her heart without hearing her answer.
人など辞めて此方へ御出(おい)で 展翅台の蝶 hito nado yamete kochira e oide tenshidai no chou Give up on your humanity and come here, butterfly on the specimen stand.
朱に沈むその姿 綺麗で shu ni shizumu sono sugata kirei de Your figure, sinking into scarlet, is so beautiful.
ずっと逃がしはしない 眠り姫へ今 口づけを zutto nigashi wa shinai nemurihime e ima kuchizuke o I’ll never let you escape. Now, I kiss Sleeping Beauty.

Translation Notes

  1. The title is translated here as ‘outstretched wings’, but it literally refers to an insect whose wings have been extended for use as a specimen or display. Incidentally, 展翅 (tenshi) is pronounced the same as 天使 (tenshi – angel).
  2. 蝶 (chou – butterfly) is written, but 乙女 (otome – maiden) is sung.
  3. 勇者 (yuusha – hero) is written, but 若者 (wakamono – youth) is sung.
