Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Electric Circus

Electric Circus
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant


Hiruma no machi wa taira na niwa de
Yoru ni natte kara hana ga saku
Akai sairen raito no mure
Kurakushon no naka kisu wo shita

Oretachi ni ashita ga nai tte koto
Hajime kara sonna no wakatteta yo
Kono toritachi ga doko kara kite
Doko e yuku no ka to onajisa

Erekutorikku saakasu moeagaru sora
Sumikitta iro no sono saki ni chiru

Kirameku taiya hibana chirashite
Jinari no enjin ga odotteru
Soko ni iru hazu no hoshi to tsuki
Yawaraka ni tooru kanojo no koe
Erekutorikku saakasu moeagaru sora
Sumikitta iro no sono saki ni yuku

Oretachi ni ashita ga nai tte koto
Hajime kara sonna no wakatteta yo
Kono toritachi ga doko kara kite
Doko e yuku no ka to onajisa

Erekutorikku saakasu moeagaru sora
Sumikitta iro no sono saki ni chiru

Erekutorikku saakasu sono saki ni yuku
Yoru ni natte kara hana wa saku

Itsutsu no kigaku no tame no rechitatiivo –Recitativo for 5 Instruments-
Maki Mannami


Spinning words that wouldn't be a main melody

Connecting enumeration of dots and lines
I sing an aria in my memory
with the voice that doesn't sound

Throbbed feeling for things I've lost
I play a different sound to suppress it

The song for me that doesn't hear
The song for me that doesn't move me

Spinning words that wouldn't be a main melody

Throbbed feeling for things I've lost
Few seconds until I notice
they're still alive in my palms

Maki Mannami - Seigi to Shimpan -Justice and Judgement-

Seigi to Shimpan -Justice and Judgement-
Maki Mannami


The fire in the transparent plastic cube
was blue and round
Children wearing pieces of leather cloth
described it as fireworks of blood
A faceless old man
smothered the cube with turbid oil
Encased in discolored liquid now
no one knows the color of the fire

Ripened fruit trees bear fruit in the rich
soil laced with gold ore
To get it the birds who have fingers
set a bomb-they use their allies as a decoy
The farmer in aluminum armor
forgot to pray and give thanks for the harvest
So the fruit spoiled and fell
on the ground while he was aiming his rifle

Praying underground
Inundated water
Daytime persecution
Winded front
Lament in silence
Senseless brainwashing
Smashed pride
Evaporated hatred
Neighboring salvation
Collected pieces
Breathing lives
Which color will it be if we mix all of them

Finally the cube melts and the fire appears again
We found the fire was in fact burned our faces

Which color will it be if we mix all of them
I wonder it will be the same as that gray sky
Or can we make it as the kaleidoscope sea
we've never seen

Maki Mannami - Power and Force

Power and Force
Maki Mannami


The clear soul's to be defiled
The pure song's to be re-written
The light vanishes into the dark
The birth will lead to the death

The face to face existences
They're weighed against to be compared
He's fool enough to show his teeth
With meager arm he bore off

Come on take a ride, my peaceful train
Heading for an arrival station
Carrying contradiction and anger
Come and take the road
To the run-down world
Come on take a ride, my peaceful train
You've got to know how dizzy and risky
To drive to yield the signs
I'll change their force into my power
Though I fall off tram

The clear soul's to be defiled
The pure song's to be re-written
The light vanishes into the dark
The birth will lead to the death

The face to face existences
They're weighed against to be compared

Come on take a ride, my peaceful train
Heading for an arrival station
Carrying contradiction and anger
Come and take the road
To the run-down world
Come on take a ride, my peaceful train
You've got to know how dizzy and risky
To drive to yield the signs
I'll change their force into my power
Though I fall off tram

Maki Mannami - Renacer

Renacer
Maki Mannami


La vela de la memoria está flotando.
Como si fuera luz tenue está brillando
Hablando, para que se la recuerde.

Muchas veces está pasando
El paisaje que veo por primera vez
Yo sabia todo
Desde que yo naci
El final del cuento.

La vela de recuerdo está ondeando
Como si fuera a sacar la luz tenue
Levantando el pasado que se ha cerrado.

Vamos a ver la verdad
Aunque se aplaste los ojos
Mi sangre cambia a ceniza y
Se pudrirá con mi carne.
Algun dia renacerá
Sabiendo que tendre la misma alma

La vela del recuerdo se rompe
Como si fuera a apagarse la luz tenue
Aunque no se puede olvidar

Vamos a abrazar la verdad
Aunque se quemen los brazos
Aunque mi sangre cambia a ceniza y
Se pudrá con mi carne,
Esta alma renace muchas veces
Vivira para siempre

Vamos a abrazar la verdad
Hasta que venga el final
Mi pensamiento cambia a polvo y
Se enterrará en la oscuridad del olvido
Algun dia renacerá
Esperando el dia que se encuentre otra vez.

Yo se todo
Antes de nacer
El final del cuento y
El mismo lugar que llegará algun dia

Aunque mi sangre cambia a ceniza y
Se pudra con mi carne.
Este alma vivirá para siempre
Esperando el dia que se encuentre otra vez.
