"Who's got it better than us? Nobody!" - San Francisco 49ers quote

[tenshi no hane]

Sparrow has the deepest lyrics out of the new songs, I think. It shows her doubts about choosing to try new music styles: will my currrent fans dislike it and leave? etc. I've translated it~ (one line confused me so left it blank.)

Sparrow (translation)

Spoiler:

I can forever see the same light if I keep things as they are - if that’s true,
Can I sacrifice someone?
Even if a new darkness will close in on me if I destroy everything
Can I sacrifice someone?

I can lead a steady, peaceful life if I hide away - if that’s true,
Can I accept even the lies?
Even if reality won’t be what I want it to be if I show myself
Will you forever walk beside me?

What could I share locked in a cage?
Even so, I continue choosing
Nobody has the answers. I’m overthinking things. I just don’t know
I can’t hear your voice

Fly. Sky. I want to fly away
I don’t have to rest my wings until I’ve reached a new world, but
Cry. Pain. I’ve got no choice
But to accept everything, to accept even the nights when I want to cry
Dawn is coming

Time slips by before we know it
What kind of choices will you make?
There’s no way anything will happen if you just sit and wait for the future
You have to move forward with your own two feet

[???]
Even so, you're shouting?
Nobody can replace you. I don’t care if you’re covered in mud
I can’t see anything but you

Fly. Sky. I want to fly away
So high, to an endlessly raining sky. I’ll paint myself in the colors of the rainbow
I want to try. Endlessly ringing sounds
I’ve got no choice but to let go of everything
I have no need for decorations

Fly. Sky. I want to fly away
I don’t have to rest my wings until I’ve reached a new world, but
Cry. Pain. I’ve got no choice
But to accept everything, to accept even the nights when I want to cry
Dawn is coming

Sparrow is the best thing that came out from Delight really, I was about to request the translation and now you provide it tenshi, thanks!

This is great, I wish the song had a PV.

EDIT
Oh btw tenshi, can I put your translation in other forum?
As usual I will give you credit as well, kinda miss your translation since Hikari e actually

[tenshi no hane]

^ sure, go ahead.

[Bigtop]

I'm really liking this album, I might just complement it with my bus rides!

[Kacku]

I really like Delight. It's not the life-changing masterpiece I was secretly hoping it would be, but it's a very nice album with no bad songs. Delight and Hikari e remain amazing and Sparrow and LOUD join the Awesome Team. 321 I don't really like (there's something weird about the chorus) and My Best Friend is so... filler, couldn't they have made it a hidden track or something. The rest of the songs are good, no complaints there. I just wish the album were a bit longer; with only 11 tracks, two of which I tend to skip, it just feels like it ends too abruptly.

[Bigtop]

Yeah, 11 tracks...isn't that a bit too low for an album? Usually we have 14, like her first two albums.

[tenshi no hane]

I finally listened the full album. I had lost interest in her but this album makes me want to follow her again. I like that she's trying new styles. Delight, Sayonara, LOUD, Sparrow and Hikari He are my favorites

And I really love the way her voice sounds in the English part of LOUD's chorus for some reason

EDIT: I bought the album~ (the joys of temporarily living in Japan ). I made some quick photos of the booklet:

Spoiler:

[Utena]

^ it's been the same for me too, love this album so much. Too bad it's so short >o<

[x-megumi-x]

Delight is a really nice album to listen to, I also like that she's trying new things <3
LOUD is my favorite track, but Sparrow and Delight are great too.

[adantatu2]

It's a good album, i'm glad she wants to try different things. I wonder why she doesn't wanna include Smile, it's a nice song too

anyway, I love the picture with her using black dress! Can't wait for my copies to arrive (well, I've too underestimate this album so I bought it using SAL when preordering it, and now I regret it for not using EMS as usual, lol)

[Bigtop]

Unbelievable sales!

Agreed

...but for ayu fans:

(Yeah, Ayu fans are either going to feel ashamed, or Ayu's almost 35...)

[tenshi no hane]

Nice to see she's getting good sales.


I translated LOUD

Spoiler:

LOUD! ~Kick away depressing thoughts~

(Stop)
(What should I do?)

Even if, for example, I’d list all my complaints and whine that things aren’t going my way
Nothing good would come out it
Want you to know why I say you can be better
You can’t measure what’s inside your mind, heart and soul
With someone else’s yardstick

Even if, for example, we can sometimes gain something by losing something
There is one thing I will never let go of

The clear water is rapily getting muddy
I can’t breathe. It hurts, I can’t swim

*Kick out depressing thoughts and slip out this constraining place
Let them ring louder, words of love. Turn up the volume to the max
I’m gonna try and rewrite your world
Which means I can’t stay here anymore
Let’s get loud, let’s get out
I’m going to live my life
How about you?
I’m gonna go on ahead of you

Even if, for example, people grab my legs and try to drag me down
No one can stop me! I won’t be caught so easily

A new mindset. Changing the plug
Can you see it? I’m gonna make this work out for me

Destroy reality, blow away your limits
Sounds them louder, melodies of love. Turn up the power, let the sound distort
Don’t give things a side glance, looks everything straight in the face
It’s all up to you
Let’s get loud, let’s get out
I’m going to live my life
How about you? No good, huh
Just try and stop me

* repeat

Keep your eyes on me. I wanna get loud!

[Damita]

Thanks tenshi no hane for the album scans and the translations, you're amazing!

I really like this album more than the previous two (both of which I didn't really get into). Delight (the song) is SO intense, the instruments chosen were so effective and catchy. It's impossible not to remember that song. The other new songs were very good too, but I was especially impressed by the production that went into the song Delight.

Going to re-listen and order this.

[HTMSD]
