My newest translation is one of the most beloved themes by the mythical band Buck-Tick (weird that I didn't found any lyric of theirs here). In general their texts are quite hard to untie, especially this one, so I tried to translate each word at best and as always you can suggest me anything about it. I hope you like it! Kanji: 歩き出す月の螺旋を 流星だけが空に舞っている そこからは小さく見えたあなただけが 優しく手を振る 頬に流れ出す 赤い雫は せめてお別れのしるし 初めから知っていたはずさ 戻れるなんて だけど…少しだけ 忘れよう全てのナイフ 胸を切り裂いて 深く沈めばいい まぶた 浮かんで消えていく残像は まるで母に似た光 そして涙も血もみんな枯れ果て やがて遥かなる想い どれほど悔やみ続けたら 一度は優しくなれるから？ サヨナラ 優しかった笑顔 今夜も一人で眠るのかい？ 頬に流れ出す赤い雫は せめてお別れのしるし 今夜 奇麗だよ月の雫で 汚れたこの体さえも どんなに人を傷つけた 今夜は優しくなれるから？ サヨナラ 悲しかった笑顔 今夜も一人で眠るのかい？ Romaji: Arukidasu tsuki no rasen wo yuusei dake ga sora ni matte iru soko kara wa chiisaku mieta anata dake ga yasashiku te wo furu. Hoho ni nagaredasu akai shizuku wa semete owakare no shirushi. Hajime kara shitte ita hazu sa modoreru nante dakedo…sukoshi dake wasureyou subete no naifu mune wo kiri saite fukaku shizumeba ii. Mabuta ukande kiete iku zanzou wa marude haha ni nita hikari soshite namida mo chi mo minna kare hate yagate haruka naru omoi. Dore hodo kuyami tsuzuketara ichido wa yasashiku nareru ka na? sayonara yasashikatta egao konya mo hitori de nemuru no kai?

Translation: When I got away from the moon spiral, only a falling star was dancing in the sky. From there, only you, who seem little, waved gently the hand. The red drops, flowing in the cheeks, are at least a sign of farewell. Since the beginning I should have known that I can’t leave But… only for a little Let’s forget all the knives It’s good cutting the chest and deeply drowning. On the eyelids the afterimages are floating and disappearing As if the light resembles the Mother And all the tears, the blood, the withered things And the feelings become distant. How long I should be sorry So that I get used to be kind? Goodbye gentle smile Will I sleep alone tonight? The red drops, flowing in the cheeks, are at least a sign of farewell. Even tonight my body is wet by the beautiful tears of the moon. For how long I should hurt other people So that I get used to be kind tonight? Goodbye sad and gentle smile Will I sleep alone tonight?
