If you want me to translate a song for you, email me privately. Make sure you Google it first as I won’t bother translating something that’s already been translated by someone else. And provide the lyrics in Japanese please, not roomaji. If you want Filipino-English-Filipino translations you may email me too.

This is my English translation of エルの楽園 ［→ side：Ａ →］ (Elle’s Paradise [side:A]) from Sound Horizon’s “Elysion” album. Use as you will, but please do not take MY translations and claim them as your own, because you obviously did not translate these.

If there were things that I translated incorrectly let me know!

Japanese
誰かの呼ぶ声が聞こえた 少女はそれで目を覚ます
心地よい風に抱かれて 澄んだ空へと舞い上がる
誰かがね…泣いているの…
それは気の所為かしら？(そうよ気のせいよね)
もう…そういうことじゃないわ(じゃあ風の所為かしら？)
楽園で泣くはずないわ(そうよ泣くはずないわ)
だって楽園なんだもの(楽園なんだもの)
何処かでね…泣いているの…
悲しみも苦しみも？(そうよここには無いから)
幸せ満ち溢れる世界？(そうそれが楽園)
楽園で泣くはずないわ(そうよ泣かないでね)
だって楽園なんだもの(楽園だからこそ)
本当はね…知っているの…
(誰かがね…泣いているの…)
第四の地平線 その楽園の正体は…
空は荒れ 木々は枯れて 花は崩れ朽ち果て
腐敗した大地が 闇の底へと堕ちてゆく…
エルは生まれ エルは痛み エルは望みの果て
安らぎの眠りを求め 笑顔で堕ちてゆく
…”Ark”
箱舟に托された願いたちは…
“Baroque”
歪んだ恋心のままに求め合い…
”

Yield”
理想の収穫を待ち望みながらも…
“Sacrifice”
多大な犠牲を盲目のうちに払い続け…
“StarDust”
ついには星屑にも手を伸ばすだろう…
挟み込まれた四つの《楽園》(EL)に惑わされずに
垂直に堕ちれば其処は《奈落》(ABYSS)
何処から来て 何処へ逝くの 全ては誰の幻想(ゆめ)？
差し出された手に 気付かないままに堕ちてゆく…
エルは倦まれ エルは悼み エルは望みの涯(はて)
安らぎの眠りを求め 笑顔で堕ちてゆく…
──退廃(Decadence)へと至る幻想 背徳を紡ぎ続ける恋物語(Romance)
痛みを抱く為に生まれてくる 哀しみ
幾度となく開かれる扉 第四の地平線──
その楽園の名は『ELYSION』またの名を『ABYSS』──

English
So, hearing the voice that somebody called, the girl wakes up.
She is embraced by the comfortable wind which soars up into the clear sky.
Somebody… is crying right? …

I wonder if it’s fantasy? (Yes, it is imagination)
Then… there is no such thing (Then is it the result of the wind?)
You cannot cry in paradise (Yes, you cannot cry).
Because it is paradise (It is paradise).
So where can you cry…?

What of pain? What of sorrow? (Yes, it’s not here)
Is it in the world where happiness overflows? (It is in paradise)
You cannot cry in paradise (Yes, you cannot cry)
Because it is paradise (Simply because it is paradise)

It’s true isn’t it… I know it…

The real nature of that paradise’s fourth horizon is…

The sky is stormy, the trees collapse and die, and the flowers wither.
The rotting world falls into the bottom of the abyss…

Elle is born, Elle is hurt, Elle desires an end
In search of peaceful sleep, she falls with a smile.

… “Ark”…
The wishes that the ark was entrusted with are…

… “Baroque”…
The demands of a distorted feeling of love…

… “Yield”…
While looking forward to the harvest of ethics…

… “Sacrifice”…
Continue to pay a great sacrifice to blindness

… “Stardust”…
Perhaps you’ll finally stretch out your hand to the stars

Without being confused with the fourth paradise,
If you fall vertically, the man below… will be Abyss.

Where do they all come from? The place where all are dying, where is that dream?
They fall because they were not aware of a hand that was held out…

Elle is tired, Elle is crying, Elle desires an end.
She requests a peaceful sleep, and she falls with a smile.

A love story (romance), which continues to spin a fantastic immorality to reach corruption (decadence).

The sorrow that is born in the clasps of pain
The fourth horizon’s door opened countless of times
The name of that paradise “Elysion” also has another name: “Abyss”.
