Blooming Flowers, Moonlit Night

Hyakka Ryouran, Akatsukiyo

Being able to read the ending, you probably won't choose the easy path anymore
結末読めるような 容易い道はもう選ばぬだろう
ketsumatsu yomeru yōna tayasui michi wa mō erabanu darō
Surrendering to the impermanence of all things
諸行無常という波間へと身を委ねる
shogyō mujō to iu namima e to mi wo yudaneru
The banquet of the beginning night, listen to the sound and sing
始まる宵の宴 音色に耳澄ませ何を歌う
hajimaru yoi no utage neiro ni mimizumase nani wo utau
Resound resolutely
毅然と鳴り渡る
ki zen to nariwataru
Become the guide of this will
この志 導になれ
kono kokorozashi michibiki ni nare

Like a shadow puppet floating on the water's surface
水面に浮かんだ 影絵のように
minamo ni ukanda kagee no yō ni
Shall we bloom once in a lifetime?
一世一代 咲かせようか
issei ichidai sakaseyō ka
Unite our resolute hearts and into the transient
凛と心合わせ 泡沫へと
rin to kokoro awase utakata e to
Let's bloom and captivate with flowers
花 開いて 魅せましょう
hana hiraite misemashou

Dreams blooming flowers, a riot of colors
夢よ咲く華 百花繚乱
yume yo saku hana hyakkaryōran
Dancing elegantly in the sky
空 艶やかに舞い踊る
sora adeyaka ni maiodoru
Becoming an eternal moon
永久の 月にならん
towa no tsuki ni naran
Dyeing red, the evening moonlit night
紅、染まれ夕月夜
kurenai, somare yūzukiyo

Resound decisively
響き渡れ 丁々発止
hibikiwatare chōchō hasshi
Now, like falling petals
今、花びら散るように
ima, hanabira chiru yō ni
Let's engrave the flash
閃きを 焼き付けよう
hirameki wo yakitsukeyou
The momentary dream
刹那の夢を
setsuna no yume wo
Everyone, please behold! Ah!
篤と皆々様ご覧あれ! 嗚呼!
atsuto mina mina sama goran are! ā!

To reach the summit, the path we look up to is steep
高みを極めるため 見上げし道のりは 険しきもの
takami wo kiwameru tame miageshi michinori wa kewashiki mono
Engrave the spirit of Yamato in this heart
大和の魂 この胸に刻みつけて
yamato no tamashī kono mune ni kizamitsukete

To cool down the sleep, what do you think of the overflowing dim light?
眠りを冷ますように 零れる薄明かり何を思う？
nemuri wo samasu yō ni koboreru hakumeikari nani wo omou
Binding and cutting, this will truly become
斬り結んでゆく この志 真になれ
kiri musunde yuku kono kokorozashi makoto ni nare

So as not to be hidden by the group of clouds
群雲に姿隠されぬように
gun'un ni sugata kakusarenu yō ni
Disrupting the ever-changing
千変万化を 乱れ打って
senpen banka wo midareutte
Even the heavens obey this kotodama
天さえも従え この言霊
ten sae mo shitagae kono kotodama
Let's make it resound and captivate
轟かせて魅せましょう
todorokasete misemashou

The feast of stars, the myriad of things
星の宴よ 森羅万象
hoshi no utage yo shinrabanshō
The sky, filling up with a brilliant sea
空、満ちてゆく綺羅の海
sora, michite yuku kira no umi
Illuminate the center
直中を 燃え照らせよ
chokuchū wo moe teraseyo
The sound of the flute echoes on the crescent moonlit night
笛の音 響く三日月夜
fue no ne hibiku mikazukiyo

Matching flowers as we wish
花合わせて思いのままに
hana awasete omoi no mama ni
Now, let's wave the fan
今、扇を翻す
ima, ōgi wo hirugaesu
So that the illusion doesn't disappear, let's make a vow
幻と 消えぬように 契りを交わす
maboroshi to kienu yō ni chigiri wo kawasu
Twirling like a butterfly in the late night, ah
蝶のようにくるり舞う夜更け 嗚呼
chō no yō ni kururi mau yoru fuke ā

Decorating the window of the season
季節の窓辺を彩り浮かぶ
kisetsu no madobe wo irodori ukabu
Leaving behind a lingering charm, it circulates
風情残して 巡りゆく

Resembling shadows, making dreams come true
影になぞらえて 夢を実らす
