Kagrra, - 恋綴魂

Kagrra, - Kotodama

it's my first Kagrra, song translation!! 😍

神さえ眠る闇夜の下に 唯独り向かう 

Kami sae nemuru yamiyo no shimo ni Tada hitori mukau 

願いを抱いて 

Negai wo daite 

All alone heading towards the depths of river in the moonless night when even the gods sleep 

Embracing the prayers. 

白い衣にこの御身を包み 

Shiroi koromo ni kono omi wo tsutsumu 

一つの想いは破滅に向かう 

Hitotsu no omoi wa hametsu ni mukau 

**Shrouding this body of mine in white robe 

The one wish that heads towards destruction. 

** 包む / tsutsumu = to wrap, to envelope, to engulf, to shroud. but I deliberately used the last one to bring in the references of death in the song and it's so poetic haha 

暗雲の下丑寅の刻 

Anun no shita ushitora no kiza 

鋭い光を突き立てる 

Surudoi hikari wo tsukitateru 

呪を握る赤いこの手は 

Noroi wo nigiru akai kono te wa 

其方の胸をえぐるでしょう 

Sonata no mune wo eguru deshou 

Under the dark clouds mark of the northeast 

Stabbing a sharp light, 

Clutching onto the curse these red hands 

Must be gouging your heart right? 

運命は今時を越えて 

Unmei wa imadoki wo koete 

廻るめく想いは灼熱の炎へ 

Megurumeku omoi wa shakunetsu no honoo he 

Fate goes beyond the present time 

The wishes that go round and round turn to the passionately burning flames. 

叶わない恋は溜息に曇る 

Kanawanai koi wa tameiki ni kumoru 

流れ出すこの涙は血に変わる 

Nagaredasu kono namida wa chi ni kawaru 

The love that will never come to be is downcast by a sigh 

These tears pouring out transform into blood. 

白い衣は深紅に染まり 

Shiroi koromo wa shinkou ni somaru 

この命もまた儚く散る 

Kono inochi mo mata hakanaku chiru 

瞳を閉じて最期の時を迎える 

Hitomi wo tojite saigo no toki wo mukaeru 

その瞬間せめて 

Sono shunkan semete 

凡てを忘れほんの一時 

Subete wo wasure honno hitotoki 

其方の胸に妾を抱いて 

Sonata no mune ni warawa wo daite 

The white robe is stained in deep crimson 

This life too fleetingly scatters 

Closing my eyes I welcome the last moments 

Atleast that instant 

Forgetting everything for the mere moment 

Embrace me in your bosom. 

運命は今時を越えて 

Unmei wa imadoki wo koete 

溢れ出す想いはとめどなく流れ 

Afuredasu omoi wa tomedonaku nagare 

魂は消え去る事無く 

Tamashii wa kiesaru kotonaku 

来世は其方に愛されてみたい 

Raise wa sonata ni aisarete mitai 

Fate goes beyond the present time 

The overflowing feelings ceaselessly flow 

The soul without disappearing. 

In the next life I want to be loved by you. 

** the term “sonata” (其方) is archaic and means YOU but denotes respect and difference in status. similarly the term “warawa” (妾) is an archaic form of “watashi" (私) meaning I / ME.
