Here is my most favorite song in Op4. The whole Moriarty group singing about William. Am I just really weak to the Moriarty group?? Yes.
What really gets to me most in this track is just how much PAIN and ANGUISH there is on Louis's face. The most pain I've ever seen on anyone's face, ever. (I love Yamamoto Ikkei, if that wasn't obvious yet.)
Broken into a thousand pieces
千々に乱れて | Chiji ni midarete
Characters: Albert James Moriarty, Sebastian Moran, Louis James Moriarty, Fred Porlock
William no na ga yo ni hiromaru
Sakerarenu yukusue
Mou susumu shika nai
Kokoro wa chiji ni midarete
Yokan wa zutto kono mune ni atta
William wa hitori de juujika wo
Nani ga okorou to ore wa kawaranee
Omae wo omae no yukumichi wo mamoru
Uzumaku yokan ni kono mi ga furueru
Nii-san ga boku no mae kara kiete shimattara
Kore mo keikaku demo hontou ni kore de ii no
Shinjiyou boku no omou William-san wo
Susume kono michi wo William ga kimeta nara
Omae no keikaku kanpeki ni suikou suru
Niisan dou ka inakunaranaide
William-san wo shinjiru shinjinakya
“William” no na ga yo ni kizamareru
Hikikaesenai michi
Kono mune (furue shitau omoi) yureru
Kokoro wa chiji ni midarete
Kokoro wa chiji ni midarete
Ah

“William”’s name will be publicized
It’s a fate we couldn’t avoid
There’s no choice... but to keep going
With my heart broken into a thousand pieces
[Albert]
I’d always had a feeling, here in my heart
That William will take upon the cross by himself
[Moran]
No matter what happens, I won’t be swayed
I will protect you and the path you want to go on
[Louis]
My heart is anxious, my body shivers
What would I do if Nii-san disappears?
[Fred]
This is a plan. Right. But is this really okay?
I’ll believe in him, in William-san...
[Albert] Let’s head forward, if this is the path William chose
[Moran] I’ll make sure your plan goes through
[Louis] Nii-san, I beg of you, please don’t disappear
[Fred] I believe in William-san. I have to...
“William”’s name will be shredded by the world
A path we can’t turn back on
This heart (this shivering, this yearning, this thought) sways
My heart is broken into a thousand pieces
My heart is broken into a thousand pieces
