v2.0 葬送歌 千と一つの忘却の夜 Dirge ; Thousand-and-One-Nights-of-Amnesia


Man, isn't forgetfulness
人間よ、忘却は十分な薬ではないのか。
Enough cure, from its milky whiteness
その乳白色から、十分な癒やし
the scummy hues of rainbow
虹の汚れた色合いから
Isn't heated sadness fulfilling,
熱い悲しみは満たされないのか、
sufficiently the emptiness within tears?
涙の中の虚しさを十分に満たしてくれるのではないか?
what, is there, lying in every kind of wet and sultry release?
何があるのだろう、あらゆる種類の湿った、蒸し暑い解放の中に横たわっているのだろう?
I am djiin that keeps Man's Lore, and have lived,
私は人の伝承を守り、生きてきた幽精(ジイン)だ、
Man
人間、
As dust, spit, and fire I have lived
塵となり、唾となり、火となり、私は生きてきた。
Amidst a thousand dark nights, among the benighted Millions
幾千の闇夜の中で、百万人の蒙昧者の中で
As a djiin of ineffable power, I still live
言うに言われぬ力を持つジインとして、私は今も生きている。
whose geas binds myself to the ink splattered
呪いによって、黄ばんだ翼のページに散らばったインクに自分を縛り付ける
Upon the yellowed winged pages of a thousand dreaming moths
千の夢見る蛾の黄ばんだ翼のページに
.Upon nights I was raised, I was eternal
私を育てられたのは夜、私は永遠だった。
I possess only the milky sight, I see the Eternity
私は乳白色の視界だけを持ち、永遠を見る。
Always… Endless...Ineffable
常に...果てしなく...語り尽くせない
Eternal…ever falling to sleep..
永遠の...眠りに落ちる...
Eternal sadness..
永遠の悲しみ...
Man, a thousand nights, as I count
人間よ、千の夜を数えながら
I am called Memory as Man remembers it and I have lived
人が覚えたように、私は記憶と呼ばれ、私は生きてきた。
A thousand forms of Lives, forgetting each
千の生の形を、それぞれを忘れながら。
and in as many I have found its deserted deep sleep, therefore
そしてその数だけ、私はその捨てられた深い眠りを見つけた。
I lived through but Thousand Nights of ふforgetting Anamnesis
故に、自分は千の夜の忘却(アムニージア)*1を生きてきただけであった。
And now, I count
そして今、私は数える
Thousand Nights of forgotten Anamnesis*1 and  One-More.
忘却(アムニージア)の千夜ともう一つ。
Or have I? forgetting already? Have I,
それとも、私はもう忘れてしまったのだろうか?私は
Not yet lasted past the First Night?
まだ第一夜を過ぎていないのか?


*1 Amnesia 忘却
