smol-nevi:

Not officially translated yet, and I’m still as crap at literary/poetic/archaic Japanese as I always am, but I took a stab at it anywayyyyyy. Spoilers under the cut if you’re not finished with 4.3′s MSQ!

Keep reading

I’d say it was about the same, this is what I translated of it:

華は　装束
意味　ひとひらを
定めしや　我生くを　断ち翻して
さあ　いざ――

Westward lies bleed t’ward the east
Wayward daughter, step into the night
Restless eyes, blind to the beast
Barren waters yield unto the tide

寄る辺の　月は
紅蓮に　冴えて
遺せしは　抗いの　名残のみなれど
さあ　いざ――

Hana wa souzoku
Imi hitohira wo
Sadameshiya waga iku wo tachihirugaeshite
Saa, iza…

Westward lies bleed t’ward the east
Wayward daughter, step into the night
Restless eyes, blind to the beast
Barren waters yield unto the tide

Yorube no tsuki wa
Guren ni saete
Nokoseshi wa aragai no nagori nominaredo
Saa, iza…

Flowers adorned in
Meaningful petals
Surely it shall cut my life into fluttering pieces
Well, come now…

Westward lies bleed t’ward the east
Wayward daughter, step into the night
Restless eyes, blind to the beast
Barren waters yield unto the tide

The moon, my (last) resort,
As serene as the crimson lotus
Though nothing but remnants of opposition remain,
Well, come now…
