takkei no seijo - translation

WRATH
❝ A church with no visitors.
A journeying violinist.
A crucified female saint who became a statue.
Why did you end up crossing this border?
Come, sing for me... ❞

It has come! The fated time! It has come! The promised time!

❝ Come, your father is waiting. ❞

I proceed with determined, gray footsteps
Feeling a gust of wind in my back, I turn around just once

The scent of dusk is strangely nostalgic
As if it was giving me a push...yes, that’s how I felt
I tremble alone at the surging sadness, tracing a distant promise promise

At the ends of a fragile, twisted time of welling hatred; I stare at darkness with a kiss
(Ah, still empty, still on the move, twisted, ah, gathering sins with a kiss)

Even now I don’t forget...
(Even now I can’t remember...)

❝ Your Highness, I’ve brought the lady. ❞
❝ Elisabeth. Be glad! Your husband has been decided!
The one who proposed is Rhein Pfalz.
He’s a dream come true for a spinster like you, isn’t he? ❞
❝ Pardon my words, brother. ❞
❝ How many times do I have to tell you to call me father!? ❞
❝ No, brother, I have no intention of marrying anyone! ❞

If I have to live on while faking love
Then I don’t mind dying with the truth

Wishing for the wild roses we found to embrace you,
I planted them around the grave
But even at the very end, they didn’t bloom, did they...

The white bird in the birdcage that fell in love with the moonlight
Even knowing that it’d crash into the ground, would flap its wings till the very end
So what I’m singing at dusk is not a song of grudge...

❝ Walter. You and Mother even faked your identities to protect her, and this is how it ends. ❞
❝ Your Highness... ❞
❝ Hahahaha! Crucify that foolish girl. ❞
❝ Your Highness! ❞

❝ I see. So that’s how you were crucified.
You did well in following your own will till the very end.
But would he really have wished for that at the cost of your own life?
Whatever. Now, let the revenge tragedy begin...! ❞

❝ No. I don’t want any of that.
Everyone has their own circumstances and fates to bear.
You came to see me. That’s more than enough for me.
Hey, do you really not remember? Those days that seem so bright even now... ❞

❝ ...I’m really excited now. Because the forest – the world is so wide! ❞
❝ What a pretty flower. ❞
❝ Woah, really! ❞
❝ I’ll put it in your hair. ❞
❝ You would? Make it cute. ❞
❝ It fits you. ❞
❝ Really? ❞
❝ Mär, make sure you’ll come for me! ❞
❝ Yes, I promise you. ❞

❝ Mär, you kept your promise, didn’t you? Even going that far... ❞

The cold chains that bind you, who have lost your flame [light]
( ❝ Oh, the great female saint! ❞
❝ So it was true. ❞
❝ With this, your sins are... ❞ )
Are the love and hatred of the two who thought of you, who have lost love [light] to death

The bird takes towards the sky, and the corpse returns to earth, continuing to betray providence [God]
The day breaks towards the morning of end, and our next parting is forever --

But...

I don’t regret this at all, ah, for this is my life
Neither 《A Noble Lady》 [von Wettin],
nor 《The Daughter of the 7th Elector》 [von Sachsen],
I am 《just a woman》 [Elisabeth]
Just the one who loved only you...

Just 【Elisabeth】

❝ What now, Mär, you’ve been acting strange since a while ago. What’s wrong?
You can’t take that woman’s words seriously! Let’s just forget about her!
We have to continue our revenge. No matter what.
That’s the reason for our existence, isn’t it!?
Hey, do you really get it, Mär!?
Aaaaaaah! For crying out loud! Why won’t you understand?! Mär, you blockhead!
Right now, only I am your Elise!
We’ve had lots of fun, haven’t we!?
We helped take lots of revenges, didn’t we!?
It’s only going to get more fun. That’s right, of course that’s right.
You have me, and I have you!
Let’s continue! Let’s keep this up, the two of us! Hey!!
Let’s keep this up forever and ever and ever and ever!!
Until this world ends, no, even if the world ends,
Let’s be together forever and ever! Hey, no, no Mär,
No, don’t don’t don’t! Please, please, Mär...nooooooooooooooooo!!! ❞

❝ It’s alright, Elise... ❞
