或る吸血鬼の物語 | Aru Kyuuketsuki no Monogatari
The Story of a Certain Vampire

それは遥かな昔の話遠い国のこと | Sore wa harukana mukashi no hanashi tooi kuni no koto

It's a story from long long ago. In a distant country

深い深い森の中隠れ暮らすものがいた | Fukai fukai mori no naka kakure kurasu mono ga ita
There was being, living hidden in the deep deep forest

 

人を彼を恐れた | Hito o kare o osoreta
People were afraid of him

彼も人を恐れた | Kare mo hito o osoreta
And he was afraid of people

どこで生まれてなぜここにいる | Doko de umarete naze koko ni iru
Where I was born, why I am here

名前も持たずに | Namae mo motazuni
Without having any name

 

何も知らずにただわかるのは | Nani mo shirazuni tada wakaru no wa
Without knowing anything, but just knowing too well

孤独のその理由（わけ) | Kodoku no sono wake
What loneliness is

 

人が年老いても彼だけ若いまま | Hito ga toshioi itemo kare dake wakai mama
People were growing old, while he remained young

「僕は人ではない」| 'Boku wa hito de wa nai'
"So I am not human"

 

もし神がいるならばどうして僕を生んだ | Moshi kami ga iru naraba doushite boku o unda
If there's God, then why he gave life to me

虚しい永遠は一人では長すぎて | Munashii eien wa hitori de wa naga sugite
It's too long to remain all alone in this empty eternity

問いかけに応えるは反響（こだま）ばかり | Toikake ni kotaeru wa kodama bakari
But only echo responded me

amara tanta tyri pastos sycalos sycaliri

ellivoli scarras polili posylique lyvarras

 

戦いがあり国は滅びて森は開かれた | Tatakai ga ari kuni ga horobite mori wa hirakareta
There was a war, the country had perished and the forest become empty

それでも銀の髪持つ者を人は許さない | Soredemo gin no kami motsu mono o hito wa yurusanai
Even so the silver-haired one couldn't forgive people

 

旅路を彷徨った | Tabiji o samayotta
He set off on a journey and wandered

名前を持たぬまま| Namae o motanu mama
Without having any name

 

季節の色も忘れるほどに | Kisetsu no iro mo wasureru hodo ni
He forgot even the colors of changing seasons

長い旅の果て | Nagai tabi no hate
And at the end of a long journey

小さな家の扉の前で倒れた旅人 | Chiisana ie no tobira no mae de taoreta tabibito
Traveler collapsed in the front of a small house's door

 

冷たくなる身体 | Tsumetaku naru karada
His body become numb

薄れていく意識 | Usurete iku ishiki
His consciousness was fading

「これが僕の最期」| 'Kore ga boku no saigo'
"So this is how it ends..."

 

もし神がいるならばこのまま終わらせて | Moshi kami ga iru naraba kono mama owarasete
If God really exists, to let it end like this...

虚しい永遠に求めても悲しくて | Mukashii eien ni motomete mo kanashikute
I searched for that in eternity for vain, so sadly

ただひとつ欲しかった僕の名前 | Tada hitotsu hoshikatta boku no namae
That only thing I sought, my name

 

遠い声がきこえた | Tooi koe ga kikoeta
I heard a distant voice

「大丈夫？」| 'Daijoubu?'
"Are you alright?"

気がつけば小さな家の扉が開いて | Kigatsukeba chiisana ie no tobira ga hiraite
Before I realized the door of the small house opened

そこにいたのは病の少年 | Soko ni ita no wa yamai no shounen
And struck by illness boy was standing there

あたたかい家の中に彼を招いた | Atatakai ie no naka ni kare o maneita
Inviting me into the warm house

「さあ」| 'Saa'
'Come in...'

 

たったひとり友達になった優しい少年 | Tatta hitori tomodachi ni natta yasashii shounen
That gentle boy became my only friend

けれども彼の病は深く治るすべもなく | Keredomo mo kare no yamai wa fukaku naoru subete mo naku
But his illness got worse to the point of no return

ベッドの中で少年は言う最後の願いを | Beddo no naka de shounen wa iu saigo no negai o
At his deathbed, his last wish was...

 

「もらっておくれ僕の名前を君のものとして | 'Moratte okure boku no namae o kimi no mono toshite
"I'm giving you the name I had received

長い長い君の旅に僕を連れていって」| nagai nagai kimo no tabi ni boku o tsurete itte'
So please take me with you on a long long journey"

amara tanta tyri pastos sycalos sycaliri

 

ellivoli scarras polili posylique lyvarras

 

もし神がいなくてももう僕は構わない | Moshi kami ga inakutemo mou boku wa kamawanai
Even if God is not there, I don't care anymore
孤独な永遠を共に生きる名前があるから | Kodokuna eien o tomoni ikiru namae ga aru kana
Because I have that name which will live with me in this endless loneliness

 

amara tanta tyri pastos sycalos sycaliri

 

ellivoli scarras polili posylique lyvarras
