Dogstar

I dump my English translyrics here for songs I have completed translation adaptions for.

I’ve been doing translyrics in private since 2021 cause I didn’t have the confidence to post them. I might go on days where I dump a bunch but it’s still just me refining them and posting already existing lyrics I had done.

You're free to use them, just credit back to me! (preferably directly link the blog post if you post a cover with my translyrics).

If you do use them, I’d love to see them! You can shoot a dm to me.

I do not take requests. I am not affiliated with any fandub. I study the Japanese lyrics themself, I cannot take requests because it’s more than just adaption I’m doing when translating.

Fandubs are allowed to use my work but please contact me before you do. Thanks!

Lyrics below ⬇️

My dreams and ideals I’ve carried through this journey will surely impede

Where reality and ideals diverge—an alleyway secede

And when I’m faced with choices, I make though they intimidate me

My shadow and ego blur helplessly, where “I” freeze

The darkened sky and meteor is so far from sight

But even so, I can’t forsake: “the reason I sing”

On this road we’ve engraved

May my heart’s sounds resonate!

Wash away my doubts in the fear

So that star shining bright can make them disappear, but still…

I don’t want to live and lie to my heart that still spills

These feelings…feel so, selfish?

“The meaning of this melody and words we try and say,

Can only be conveyed in our singing voice”

I wonder when…I’ll finally say?

When things don’t go my way; it feels as if I have been cursed

Figured in my head long ago, this is how the world works

And when I’m faced with morals—society believes to be reason

It’s like my world distorts, helpless to my ideals shaken

The divisions between—the roads of my wants, needs, and disinterest

Even simple choices, I make everyday surely the easiest

Seem to ease me, but I’m…

Split between crossroads of

No simple answers that I can find

It hurts to say, but my heart’s truth says to run away! But still…

The future we’ve chosen, broken into tiny pieces

May split more, that is why—we choose “us”!

A journey connected by sins we’ve made,

Paint lines that guide the way

I wonder with the strength of our voice…

How far can we resonate?

Even still, we want to show off

Where our one true “self” can shine

And we won’t change our wishes

‘Cause we won’t stop singing

We won’t secede our dreams

Nor bow to the rules of this world

Even if I will never be free

—I know I’m not alone

On this road you’re walking on, always changing based upon your heart

At the final stop, your eyes will see

Your truest desire and dream!

Hear my heart’s sounds resonate!

Wash away my doubts in the fear

So that star shining bright can make them disappear, but still…

I’m reaching for my ideals; my dreams slipping from my hands

No it won’t—end like this! My vow still stands!

“The meaning of this melody and words we try and say,

Will finally be conveyed in our singing voice”

On this darkened night, my words are ready to burn

They repeat again, it’s endless—weighing on my mind ‘til I’m burnt

My mistakes and failures, I can’t conform or return

So with resin, I’ll paint over—and restart

I find I’m running recklessly to somewhere unknown

Still hoping I’m not alone

Hey! Hold it, hear: “Seeking an escape doesn’t lead anywhere!”

You scolded a child sinking…

Your voice resounded disheartening…

He dreamed a city, floating innocently

If I can love this shattered fantasy, then…

Would I be able to love the reality?

I’ve longed for the day I could accept it all

Through my struggle, I keep bluffing—unable to reach the end

Haven! O’Haven! Where are you hiding I wonder?

I yearn to embrace all the hopes buried deep inside memories, you hear?

Don’t you fear, laugh along, Meili!

Because the world would be dull without you too

Somewhere reality and reason created a flame

I’ll toss out the righteous truth so the rain of fiction falls

So don’t let go, I’ll stay singing (So don’t let go, I’ll stay singing)

I’m entrusting my future to the days where I can know both vividly

And then things wither in this hollow room

I find I’m tracing the classics breathing in a mellow gloom

‘There’s meaning in the meaningless things’

‘Misfortune brings along fortune”

So keep believing those empty words?

You don’t really seem to learn…

Again, I’m running recklessly to somewhere unknown

Nonsense words conveyed through goals

Hey! Hold it, hear: “Go home! Freedom is merely shiny fool’s gold!”

Were the day to come we’d lose our voices in the winds,

Could we still stand together with our wishes?

“It’s all fine, it’ll be alright, believe me”

And though you said, ‘It’ll be alright’

You’re still hurting in eternity, what do you keep protecting?

I wanna love this shattered fantasy, and…

I wanna love the reality I couldn’t before

But on the nights when the worst hits you and me

I’ll stay by your side, help clear your mind, my dear friend

Haven! O’Haven! I can tell you’re surely here!

I embrace all the reasons the world could ever throw at me

Don’t you fear, laugh along, Meili!

Because the world would be dull without you too

Somewhere reality and reason created a flame

I’ll toss out the righteous truth so the rain of fiction falls

Even if it’s so reckless, even if it’s merely a dream

I will stay believing!

Haven! Whoa! I can tell you’re surely here! (Whoa!)

I’ll still love you—even if you stay a dream!

A light is lit in this hollow room

And now, I’m tracing the moments I’m living

Haven! Whoa! I know you’ll surely find me! (Whoa!)

This heartbeat belongs to me!

I won’t let go, I’ll keep singing (I won’t let go, I’ll keep singing)

These days where I can know both vividly

So I’ll stay living,

Yeah!

Fate lays in wait, hidden in darkness, and echoes of past days

Opened my eyes to the noises of life, though the light decays

And I fall from grace, unsure—of where my heart’s place is

Merely petals where I once had laid…

I have tried! Tens and thousands of times

Though the past still emerges tainting my ideals

My regret and pain! Tens and thousands of cries

I’m still in sorrow, when do nightmares finally end?

Though it was a single tiny thing,

Yet my strength was drained from me

If I walk towards the line……

Look ahead,

Where your heart can ring forevermore, scatter these

Petals of your past sorrows

Where I’m no longer the weak person I was, ah!

Keep fighting! Shoot your shot! Defeat is done!

As long as you’re watching me

My heart, where scars run deep, calls me to…

Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth!

Surrounded by dazzling lights, shining bright

Though shadows lie in wait, hidden, to swarm my soul

I’m fearful……

I’m fearful……

I’m fearful……

I’m fearful……

I’m fearful……

Look ahead,

No matter how hurt you feel, your courage is enough, ah!

Where I’m no longer the weak person

Where your heart can ring forevermore, scatter these

Petals of your past sorrows

Where I’m no longer the weak person I was, ah!

Keep fighting! Shoot your shot! Defeat is done!

As long as you’re watching me

My heart, where scars run deep, calls me to…

Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth!

Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth!

Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth! Go forth!

Lyrics below ⬇️ yes I know my voice sucks compared to Ruidrones

-

Got a sight of that growing pile of junk

Trashed by tattered rags and left to rust

Taking form of a nonsense shape, another replica

These words written by someone else

And these tones played by someone else

Turn into a collage of my false artistry

In the unknown story, there was a boy

–scripting his creation from his burning love

But when we took notice, his soul had been crushed

Almost like a child crying over losing his toy

Though I wonder?

Why does that spotlight keep shining down on me?

Wait! Don’t turn your back on me! You’re fading farther than I can reach!

I’ll never be like you, I can’t shine like you

You’re like the moon I’ll never reach

No matter how hard I try, my heart remains unsatisfied…

I was alone, I was left behind

Left in dulling memories, once vivid dreams..

From tracing someone’s brilliance

Garbage piles on, days pass by

Rags soaked in blood, sweat, tears–but it was I

Whose anger had gone too far from sight

Tell it straight, what am I missin’ here?

Dear God, won’t ya’ hear me, please?

I felt the fallen angel’s arrow point, shutting up

It wasn’t hard, I knew the answer from the start

Wasting time, acting foolish to it all

Nurturing the free gift given, this sword I’ve held

How many struggles can keep piling?

Is it time for me to leave everything behind?

In the end, nothing will matter in time

All my love for these words will wither away with my name

Though I wonder?

What’s with this beat beating behind my chest?

It sounds similar to the loneliness of a silent winter’s night

I was in solitude, known to no one

You were alone watching the stars

And didn’t see the red forming in my tear filled eyes

Once beside me, but you’ve moved on without me

Blurring my sight of those dull-vivid dreams

Still I chased your back fading from me!

Whether I’m a real, a fake, or a lie

When I look back all that’s been left behind

Memories that were blurred by your shine

Oh? Me being a waste is irony?

A cliché that I’m trying to escape, but…

“Another rehash of someone else again?”

Ah! Too much stardust in my eyes

Sinking and fading from the eustasy

The moonlight is far too cruel and brutal

“Is your identity just another falsity?”

“Would you steal if it meant you’d be loved?”

It was past noon when the sheep-like clouds floated overhead,

A nostalgic song came as the wind swept softly throughout,

And I remembered all the words you had said to me,

It was your voice that taught me to write down your words–and remember the fire!

I’ll never be like you, I can’t shine like you

You’re like the moon I’ll never reach

No matter how hard I try, my heart remains unsatisfied…

As time passes on, life goes on

I hope I can look back proud at how far I’ve reached

From tracing someone’s brilliance

Garbage piles on, days pass by

Running towards our never-ending dream

In lost days, where I laughed with you—warm memories I no longer know

Though I hear reason echo around; emotions that keep making sound

Could it have been truly okay? Where did I make my mistake?

But I feel a warmth in my heart, why won’t it slow to a halt?

As I drift into this nightmare, empty; I wish I could forgive everything

Shattered by reality weighing on me, it all falls gently around me

Though I’m so lost, I feel so lonely

Where my heart has now withered, I can’t taste or savor the flavors

I’m so lost, alone in days common; left to wonder if tomorrow comes the same

Could it have been truly okay? Where did I make my mistake?

If I were to be reborn, who is it who I would become?

As I drift off into this dream, empty; I feel my words spill out so freely

In the shattered remains falling softly, wishing I could relive memories

…wishing I could relive memories

As I drifted into this dream, empty; I woke up and my eyes felt heavy

Shattered by reality weighing on me, reason gently fell onto me

As I drift off into this dream, empty; I felt my tears spill out so freely

In the shattered remains falling softly, reliving shared past memories

Hey, don’t you see? I can’t make up my mind

It’s all entangled and won’t dare unbind

All alone I stand in a world echoing

(All alone I stand on a stage echoing)

A monologue

No matter how hard I try to convey

These thoughts, these thoughts a merry-go-round

(‘Round and ‘round, my thought process goes)

I’m falling and failing—I’m slipping

A hunger I can’t stop

My mind is just so maze-like

Like a cul-de-sac in a labyrinth

And even a dead end…won’t stop my rise

I’ll reach you, stardom!

(I’ll soar to stardom!)

Why try all alone? You have a friend in me don’t you know?

Come and join the fools, let’s have some fun and reach out towards those stars!

Maybe I can’t reach the stars that I have wished upon—idolizing dreams

Seams becoming clear, take the ladder here, Dreamers

I’ve got nothing to fear! I can’t return from here! Even if hopeless…

How reckless this mess is an adventure—yeah!

Take a seat, please, IT’S SHOWTIME!

Hey, hold it! Hold it! I think I…

Forgot my lines, what’s the next line?

I’m lost, alone in this world where

(I’m lost, alone on this stage where)

End credits roll

(The curtains fall)

How come I’m just so pathetic…?

The popcorn and applause

(There’s no sounds of crowds)

Tastes so bitter, I can’t savor

(Crowds burnt by the same stories)

Defeat tastes so bitter!

I feel so helpless in the messiness

Am I backtracking? Circling ‘round

The unexpected is so wondrous…

(An unexpected program is wonderful)

…it shines bright, showtime!

(A spice to my bitter life!)

Why try to take shortcuts out of all the fun you’ve rode?

Take a stand now! GO! GO! With a smile as you face life’s roller coaster!

I’m performing poorly it’s all pathetic—dreams I hold too close

Reminded of the sky where fireworks spoke of Challengers

I’ll rise from darkened days! I’ll cry within your care! The sorrow won’t stop me…

The flowers and these songs, comfort me, see?

(The lights and these sounds, comfort me, see?)

So raise your head ‘cause the SHOW MUST GO ON!

The greed of an ordinary man, crawling in his vain pursuits

Fooled by his narcissism; gives his all…gives his all—to the top!

You’re the star!

A lie or two is fine; bluff your lines

You jumped the gun? The scenes come undone

Your lies realized! No matter how hard you try—the distant price

No, my heart is unsatisfied!

The words I can’t describe; balloons of unknown types; nostalgic stars in the sky

And travelers take flight across the galactic night sky

(And our dreams carry across the galactic night sky)

No, the story’s not done! No, I have much to do!

Though someday, the curtains will call

So until that day comes…don’t fall!

(When the clock strikes…it’s done!)

It’s the magic of the night, join us in a dance to the Stardust Parade

Listen to our tales, the fun will never end, Dreamers

(Listen to your dreams, play with us again, Dreamers)

I swear I will not forget! I swear I will not cry! ‘Cause this is not goodbye

So reckless this mess is our legend—yeah!

So now look ahead; step-by-step

Take the stage with a “Wonderhoy!”

Translation credit Hiraethie, Tapewormreverie, MeaningfulUsername

Ah, I see now I lost myself, afraid of what they saw

I held on so tight, unraveled though playing “perfect” I was wrong

Now I put myself back together, I won’t show my tears again

Though I’m unsure if my heart has dried up again today?

Then I hear my heart, and I know why…

“Those tears are yours, they were always yours…you ignored”

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I know if I am to be hurt by yours words

I am “me” surrounded by friends who’ll keep me whole

I’ll never be protected by anyone again

And yet, I can protect everyone because I have grown

My worries, anxieties—I have nothing to fear

My worries, anxieties—I have nothing to fear

In my existence, I’ve learned everyone wants the same thing

To be special and adorned in their individual feats

I can’t say I really care much, so I’ll sing instead with the pain inside me

Now I put myself back together, I won’t show my tears again

Though I’m unsure if I can laugh more than tomorrow can contain?

Then I hear my heart, and I know why…

“Tomorrow’s yours, you can forget yesterday…your eyes”

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I know if I am to be hurt by yours words

I am “me” surrounded by friends who’ll keep me whole

I’ll never be protected by anyone again

And yet, I can protect everyone because I have grown

My worries, anxieties—I have nothing to fear

My worries, anxieties—I have nothing to fear

Ah

Ah

Set, off!

The winds turn cold, an anxious air takes hold

The sky looks down, troubled by the sight below

Huge waves emerge, emotions of waves unfold

Crashing down, destroying, and overflow

Do you ever wonder why we’re like this?

So quick to break, damaging everything

But we’re two halves of a balance we can’t break, even if we can only ridicule one another

The cityscape’s skyline sways, draped in a large shadow

All I can do is hide, holding my breath to live

You’ve gone mad; the water seeped in and gently undid your remaining sanity

Now you want to go back in time? Before we were hurt and didn’t know a thing

The changes we’ve faced cannot be undone, life always moves along

Although we may never learn the meaning or truth of these tears

All that we’ve broken and destroyed won’t be corrected

Translation credit Thai1210 and Violet330

It’s okay I’ll try, and make it come true

Forgo the anxiety to enjoy

Don’t worry though, I’ll never let go

Because I could never untie the knot between us

“If only I had done that at that time…”

“If only I had done this at that time…”

Even so, I’m sure regrets will follow us wherever we go

So I decided to live on, while I keep worrying on what’s ahead

Don’t you know? We’ll never get used to getting hurt wherever we go

Hidden inside, I’m unable to laugh or smile alone

You and me, bring the joy we both are searching for

I know now, I want to be open and honest with you

For the first time, I will share all my pain and regrets with you

I want to sing, and want to dance

Awaiting for tomorrow impatiently

“I love you” is not enough to say

Or convey these feelings of mine

It’s okay I’ll try, and make it come true

Forgo the anxiety to enjoy

Don’t worry though, I’ll never let go

Because I could never untie the knot between us

“Ah, this is it I should have done then”

“Or is that what I should have done…?”

I’ve always been worried about other’s eyes and what they all see

Do you even know what’s in store? The answer as to why you endure

Don’t you see? I’m afraid of taking that first step forward

Hidden inside, I’m unable to move forward all alone

I know I’ll stand, even as I stumble and fall over

‘Cause of you, always there to help me back up again

In the now, I’ve learned we’ve got nothing to fear now

I want to convey, and want to shake

Awaiting for tomorrow impatiently

I want to make you feel happy—even if it sounds childish to say

I want to support, and want to protect

I swore I would never make you sad

It’s alright, take my hand

Let’s enjoy this adventure up ahead together

Even if today isn’t a good day, tomorrow might be a better day

So that’s why we sing to make you feel that way and

We’ll keep on singing

I’ve never wanted to take the easy road paved for me

I’ve always wanted to pursue my ideals of living as me

I’ve always wanted to be an “idol” with confidence

I want you to see us on stage as we sing with our dream

I want to sing, and want to dance

Awaiting for tomorrow impatiently

“I love you” is not enough to say

Or convey these feelings of mine

It’s okay I’ll try, and make it come true

Forgo the anxiety to enjoy

Don’t worry though, I’ll never let go

Translation credit Thai1210

At the end of a long-cold night

In the center of this floating city

Innocent dreams in purity

I’m lost here all alone

Even if swallowed by the endless night

And the morning sun fades from sight

The wishes of that day we hold dear

Will remain intact right here

Hey, outside the window I see

(How blurry…)

A city densely blue

(So deep and)

An ice desert stretching as far as I can see—

So cold, I can’t touch it

Words I needed wouldn’t stay (and songs)

Countless sheets torn, tossed astray

Frustrated yet I played

While time slipped away

And I realized, I had forgotten that time

Your back, I’m yearning to touch—but I

Ran away, turning from the truth I saw

How foolish I was…

My heart, tracing memories I need

Learning meaning and words, my mind made up

Mending moments—everything collectively

Something blended and

I begin to play our sound

A sound that resounds in this spinning world

A song that uplifts the heart—this melody

Intertwining our warmth as we nestle close,

Under this song!

We’ll unite as one once again,

Our voices blend in harmony,

Because we’ve got nothing to fear now,

So come on, let’s go!

Even the wishes from that day

Overcome them with our strength

There’s still scenery we haven’t seen

Just know you’re not alone, my friend!

And when the morning light shines down

Memories flee from this world, unknown

They’ll be wrapped in our warm hopes

The past and present,

Our hopes and future,

Translation credit Thai1210

Even as a child, your cries ring true

Emotions won’t need to be your tools

Even in the smoke, I’ll find my way

I’ll break free and save the day

So I swear to you—the love we share!

Call it love as you like, it’ll fade in time

Bubbles so dream-like

It’s the reality of love and burdens I hold

And it’ll follow me forevermore

Although I wish endlessly to hold

The further away our distance is made

If I gave up, would I be a good child?

Caring only for logic and sound reasons

Though the beauty and fairytale is erased before our very eyes

“More” now, we feel like hurting one another

And this passion is hurting our compassion

No, I’ll prove you all wrong!

The sounds of my heartbeat shall ring forever

Allow my love to wash you with hope

Allow me to wipe away your fears

And follow the paint our fingers trace

Even if no one knows within what’s known

Somewhere a solution I’ve hoped

I’ll still pray ‘til that day

La~la~la~la~la ahh

If you wish to be forgiven,

When have you ever forgiven someone else?

The passion blurs my eyes with dread

And the night sky—clouds cover me overhead

In the sorrow of the tragic heroine:

“Is this all there is? Is this the end?”

No, this play is not done—my love for you

And thus…I’ll burn if it saves you

Even if God wills a different order; calling it as “hopeless”

I still want to try to change my “childish” self

It’s ‘cause I realized fruit doesn’t ripen as fate has said

So, my eyes are open

These hands are “possible” through cold dishes polished

I want to be spoiled and weak

Though I’d never let you see inside me

“I want to love,” these words I have said

Cliché and hollow—I don’t want them to seem

Aah!

Here we are sewing ideals bursting at the seams

Seeing our failures; our prides we have reached

While our hopes stay high even when shot through

—our hearts! We won’t accept defeat!

No matter how hard we try to

It’ll pile up, I swear even still…

…I’ll believe you!
