The sky looks beautiful; how the sky looked like after the heavy downpour and thunderstorms.

°

Maybe sometimes we really just need to let it all out; scream, shout (to the wind not just at anyone), write and paint away our frustrations and anger in order to have that inner peace. Don't keep everything bottled up or all the negativity might just burst out at the wrong time to its undeserving recepients.

万花繚乱 (Banka Ryoran) English Translation

Ten Thousand Flowers Bloom (0)

After the Rain

浮足立つ世の滴り　宵は焼けて燈涼しの

風よ導いて　祭りの日

後先は其れの二の次　今宵は気の向くままに

ただ君を追い越して　振り向く道理

A drop of the wavering world, the twinkling lights setting fire to the night (1)

Oh wind, guide me, on this festival day

Consequences are secondary, tonight I follow my heart

Overtaking you is just an excuse to look back

夏風の抜けた長髪が

ふわり　鼻をくすぐるくらいに近づけば

この想いは絶え間ない夜の中 

Your long hair, blown by the summer wind

if it can get so close enough as to tickle my nose

This feeling resides in the midst of the unending night

 天よ詠え 空よ眩ませ

万花の咲いた　世の果てに

今日の続いたこの夜に

いらないものなどない

Oh heavens, sing (2), oh sky, dazzle us

The bloom of ten thousand flowers at the world’s end

In the night that continued today,

there are no things that we have no use for.

酸いも甘いも宵闇の火花 

悔いて恥じることなどない 

千夜未来まで煌めいておくれ

白日と成るままに

The sour and the sweet, the fireworks at twilight

there’s no regret or embarrassment or anything of the sort.

Until a future of a thousand nights, please shine for me

As it turns to broad daylight

不慣れな差下駄鳴らして 蛍火の続く道を

風の呼ぶ方へ歩いている

手を取るは君の左手　今は理由（わけ）も知らぬように

首傾げて笑う　それは始まり

The unfamiliar wooden clogs sound out (3) along the path lit by fireflies,

walking toward the calling of the wind.

What took my hand was your left hand,  even now it’s as if the reason is unknown

You tilt your head and laugh, that was the beginning

ああ

宙へ浮かぶ心模様

君で色づいた 夜さり

叶わぬ恋としても

今だけは鳴りやまぬ夜のまま

ah,

a heart pattern floating in the sky

the falling night that gets its colors from you

even if it is an unattainable love

for now, in the ceaseless ringing of the night

いつかたとえ君を忘れたい

夏になってしまうとしても

今日の想いは消えぬように

夜空に焼き付けて

Even if someday I want to forget you,

even if it becomes summer once more,

in order to prevent the feelings of today from disappearing,

let’s burn them into the night sky

パッと開いて　夜這いの星の

踊りだす　月夜を背に

恋の憂いなんて連れ去っておくれ

この夢見のままに

Opening in a flash, the sneakily visiting stars (4)

break into dance, before a backdrop of the moonlit night

The melancholy of love and other such things, please take them away

and leave us in this dream

宵闇の風を 楽の音を

君で色づいた日々を

ボクは忘れない...られもしない

絶え間ない夜の中

the twilight wind, the sound of music

the days that gain their color from you,

I will not forget them, nor will I be forgotten (5)

in the midst of the unending night

禁忌と知った今は尚更

愛しく想うばかり

何度世界に阻まれど

悩めるものもない

I knew it was taboo and now it’s even more so

with only affectionate feelings between us

no matter how many times the world bars our path

there is nothing to worry about

酸いも甘いも宵闇の火花

悔いて恥じることなどない

千夜未来まで煌めいておくれ

白日と成るままに 

The sweet and the sour, the fireworks at twilight

there’s no regret or embarrassment or anything of the sort.

Until a thousand nights into the future, please shine for me

As it turns to broad daylight

 解き明かして

Let us shed light upon it! (6)

Translator’s notes: (0) 繚乱 is often used to describe a ton of flowers blooming at once and I don’t think there’s a specific english word for it

(1) The literal translation is “burning the night” based on the lyrics, but because Soraru pronounces 焼けて as “akete” rather than “yakete” I’m inclined to believe that this is a play on words also involving the term 夜明け (yoake) or the breaking of dawn.

Also part of this line, 燈涼し refers to a kind of refreshing feeling brought on by distant twinkling lights that come on as night falls. Kind of think of it like you’re watching a small town from a distance and all lights/lamps sporadically blink on all around the same time.

(2) This can also be translated as “to recite” or “to chant” but either way it is a verb closely associated with poetry and similar literature (ie. reciting poetry, singing a hymn etc)

(3) “clogs” here refers to traditional Japanese footwear (sashigeta), not just normal shoes with wooden bottoms

(4) 夜這い also refers to an ancient custom where unmarried lovers would sneak out to visit each other, but that’s a bit wordy so I settled on “sneakily visiting”

(5) The grammar structure of this line is a little interesting, so I am actually pretty unsure about my interpretation but let me present my case. The first half (ボクは忘れない) is pretty straightforward, but what I think the second half is indicating is adding the られ to the verb forget, therefore making it 忘れられない, meaning the quality of not being forgotten is now also applied to the subject (僕 or “I”). The もしない is what I basically translated into the “nor” but means something like “I will not do [blank] either.”

(6) 解き明かして generally means to reveal or unravel something. I chose to use “shed light” due to 明かり also meaning light, and given the continued references to lighting up the sky, the night sky lighting up into day etc. I thought this may be part of the theme, and could also, as the end of the song, be a subtle way to indicate the festive night transitioning into day but that’s just me.

When the 'skirt' is white, you've got a bamboo mushroom which provides deliciousness in soups. When the 'skirt' is yellow, it's poisonous. Please do not eat it.
