Автоматон Саймон (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

Я решила далеко не отходить от оригинала ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

Вот такой Саймон-автоматон в стиле стимпанка у меня получился (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Ну и по маленькой традиции лайн для погляделок (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Все для тебя, Вета (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Глава 11.2 • Амо • “Удачное” приземление

При падении из строя вышел главный двигатель. Если с помятым боком можно было еще полетать, то без двигателя никуда. Для его починки требовались специальные кристаллы и вот уж повезло, тут на Симле они есть. Просканировав местность, Амо вычислил место, где они находятся, в какой-то пещере на окраине.

При попытки проникнуть в пещеры, был остановлен бдительным Саймоном, который военный и отвечает за охрану этой территории.

В этот момент Амо еще не знал, что встретил свою судьбу и будущего отца ребенка. Но не всё сразу, для начала они подрались и Саймон доставил Амо в военный штаб.

(посмотреть на это негде, но об этом Амо рассказывает при встрече с Кенриком в основном геймплее)

Here We Go TRANSLATION [Paradox Live on Stage Vol. 2]

(See end for translation notes.)

[Allen]

Yo, the phoenix is rising

Yeah I don’t need no license

This ain’t no fairy tale

BAE representing the real deal

Yeah! We’re revolutionising music

We ain’t gonna fit to your mold

Climbing the stairway to victory

Hell yeah, that’s my guidance

[Hajun]

I do what I wanna do

Yeah I’ll help you understand quickly

Doesn’t matter what genre,

I’ll take you prisoner once again

Ah, with real elegance, I’m your master

I’m not going to sit and wait, go faster

You want a taste?

I should warn you, it’s addictive

[Anne]

Passion, colorful rainbow

Fashion, wear fancy clothes

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ABC to the anZ yo!

I’ll buy everything I see

There’s no use in holding back

I wanna scream and shout

To the lame vibes say bye bye!

[Saimon]

TCW, like a blade my words pierce through you

A saga of protecting those we hold dear

If you truly loathe conflict,

there’s nowhere on earth you can belong

Our hearts, burning with azure flames,

at some point had become something unshakable

Our heartbeats pulse like a rhythm,

blood thrumming through our veins

[Yohei]

Yeah, I’ve laid it all to waste

One shot and I’m drunk on tequila

Strong like hard liquor,

guard it with all your might

Our castle walls are invulnerable

Nobody can break it down

Authenticity’s got a different weight to it

Get that in your head from now on

[Ryu]

Ah! That kinda feeling, is it?

It’s that exciting feeling, isn’t it?

On Ryu-kun’s turn he’s changing the game

You’re just oh-so naive 

So unexpected, maybe you can’t predict it

Maybe the right time won’t ever arrive

And just maybe, in reality, 

the world was topsy-turvy all along

[Shiki]

I still don’t have the courage to forget,

so I’ll hide in the shadows again

I don’t really have what it takes to live on,

but I have my friends by my side 

I took one small step forward,

on the long road to recovery

Though it's so small it could vanish, 

this is my determination

[Bae]

We’re in the fly

Yeah, I just wanna live

[TCW]

Yeah, I just wanna be

A brilliant firework

[Allen]

(Light up the darkness)

[cozmez]

The story’s still being told

Push your way through, it’s do or die

[Akan Yatsura]

We’ll put an end to this boring beat, let’s try something more exciting!

[Leaders]

Don’t stop and here we go!

[All]

Everybody Get Up! Get Up!

It’s starting so wake up! 

Overtake ‘em and Level Up!

[Leaders]

Don’t stop and here we go!

[All]

Hold tight, we’re gonna speed up!

Feel impulse take over!

Round this game

Who’s gonna win and move ahead?

(Woah oh oh oh) 

[Allen] Feel the flood of energy now

(Woah oh oh oh)

Fear’s the real enemy here

Everybody Get Up! Get Up!

It’s starting so wake up! 

We run this game

We’re gonna be the ones to win!

[Leaders]

Don’t stop and here we go!

[Kanata]

I’m a devil returned from hell this is our comeback

Your verses are just lukewarm, you’re nothing but weaklings

You hear the gun click,

that’s your cue to start

Heaven and earth are flipped,

it’s time to roll the dice

[Nayuta]

Bang bang, these streets belong to us

Even if you close your eyes and ears, still you’re falling down

For more dope, that’s all you need

Don’t mess with cozmez

Fresh from the underworld

[Iori]

Leadin’ the matsuri is Akan Yatsura!

Smoke signal fills the air, leading the charge and we’re on fire

Climbing up ‘til we reach the top

Whaddaya think of the view?

We’ll drag the whole world into this uproar

Our vibes are on a rampage!

[Zen]

Yo! This ain’t no game,

we’re fighting for the title

Loyalty and empathy are my speciality,

when it’s me it’s no doubt

For sure it’s no joke

(Foo!)Train your body to perfection

(Foo!) Bare your fangs to the enemy

(Foo!) For my family’s sake,

(Foo!) I’ll face it all with bravery

[Hokusai]

You know our craftsmanship

It’s the pride of our family

You are our 6th men

Live life like it’s a festival

The more people the better

Growling like a beast

Taking over past and future,

that groove is all I need

[Satsuki]

We’re in a totally different league!

Left behind our inhibitions long ago!

With a king-size punchline!

Our badass fighting spirit!

This is our kinda chivalry

Here it’s legends only!

Our fight from rags to riches

You can’t bullshit us!

[Reo]

Hey, won’t you play with REO-kun?

Man, I was getting real bored there!

When I say Akan, you say Yatsura!

Akan! (Yatsura!) Akan! (Yatsura!)

This is the best, let’s keep it going!

We’ll get rid of anyone who gets in our way

Even if you act like you don’t care,

my cuteness will leave you in TKO!

[Bae]

We’re in the fly

Yeah, I just wanna live

[TCW]

Yeah, I just wanna be

A brilliant firework

[Allen]

(Light up the darkness)

[cozmez]

The story’s still being told

Push your way through, it’s do or die

[Akan Yatsura]

We’ll put an end to this boring beat, let’s try something more exciting!

♡ TRANSLATION NOTES ♡

[1] Yo, the phoenix is rising

Allen's pretty closely connected to Zhuque, the Vermillion Bird of Chinese mythlogy due to his surname (which carries over to his MC name, Suzaku, the Japanese pronunciation of Zhuque).

This lyric is literally just about a phoenix but 火の鳥 is typically referring to the Chinese variety, so I feel it would be weird not the mention the connection here.

[2] Ah, with real elegance, I’m your master

Hajun says something in Korean here but I don't know kr in any way shape or form, so big thank you to the one Japanese fan I found in the comments who theorised he says 우아現に, the Korean part of which I've machine TL'd here.

No Matter What TRANSLATIONS [The Cat's Whiskers]

【SAIMON】 【YOHEI】 【RYU】 【SHIKI】

(See end for translation notes.)

Shut the fuck up about the past already

How about you focus on the way things are now

Keep your precious friends out of your sadist routine

I’d take all your pain and deal with it, easy

Wielding my swag like a well-honed blade

Cut apart the negativity with my world-class skills

Take your fake fashion show someplace else

Musical chairs, we’ll fight head-on to snatch the crown

Though daily struggles hunt you down endlessly,

the evening star still shines down from the twilight sky

Cosigning to oblivion allows us to move forward

Months and years passing will surely bring me peace

Boundless tolerance, for all things in nature

So precious yet so fleeting, life goes on

We weave this pitch-black world’s history

Irreplaceable, so together we’ll seize victory

Broaden your horizons, set yourself free

In this competition we’ll fight our way up!

We’ll keep honing our skills all day every day

Never surrender, hold your head high

Surge through the flow of current trends

In this competition we’ll fight our way up!

Be more than the sorrows you’d rather forget

Never surrender, hold your head high!

No matter what, what, what

Gather all walks of life together and protect them ‘til the end

No matter what, what, what

No one left behind, we’ll finally claw our way up

We gotta live it up, live it up

We can't get enough, get enough

Where there’s a will there's a way

You can see the light, with our music we’ll answer!

Yeah, you already know

TCW

Yeah yeah, let's go

Ryu-kun does whatever wherever he likes

Let’s see if my fortune-telling hits the mark

Can’t escape this trauma, it’s a game of cat and mouse

Am I just paranoid? Turn it on! Airplane mode!

Trudging down this path alone without ever getting stuck

Smoothly taking off from the runway

Don’t let the secrets slip, it’s classified info 

This moment is the most exciting of all!

Every time I fail I can feel my immaturity

The old me would have withered away

My throbbing heart creates its own rhythm

Through the beat, I feel my namelessness etched within

Although my legs still shake like a fawn’s,

I want to stand tall and move forward

He taught me how to have faith,

now the sign of the cross can soothe my guilt

Broaden your horizons, set yourself free

In this competition we’ll fight our way up!

We’ll keep honing our skills all day every day

Never surrender, hold your head high

Surge through the flow of current trends

In this competition we’ll fight our way up!

Be more than the sorrows you’d rather forget

Never surrender, hold your head high!

No matter what, what, what

Gather all walks of life together and protect them ‘til the end

No matter what, what, what

No one left behind, we’ll finally claw our way up

We gotta live it up, live it up

We can't get enough, get enough

Where there’s a will there’s a way

You can see the light, with our music we’ll answer!

♡ TRANSLATION NOTES ♡

[1] Keep your precious friends out of your sadist routine

I assume he's vaguing Hajun here? This is the vs. BAE round after all.. Not a note on the translation I just think it's funny.

Everyone else is spreading positive messages and singing about their personal trauma and growth and Yohei's insulting these young adults like there's no tomorrow. But hey, whatever gets you hyped, man...

[2] Verse 2 [Saimon]

This is my first time translating any Saimon lyrics and I'm hoping I managed to convey his... verbosity in my translation.

The fact that Saimon, a language professor, has such wordy verses has always been one of my favourite things about TCWs music, so I wanted to portray that faithfully. Hopefully with time I'll get better at it, too.

[3] Don’t let the secrets slip, it’s classified info 

Ryu actually lists two things here, classified/top-secret info and management/administrative info. I couldn't find a way to fit both in in a way that doesn't sound awkward and I think classified encompassed both in end.

[4] This moment is the most exciting of all!

Yet again this isn't really much of a translation note but, this line in particular I like because Natsuki Hanae-san (the voice actor of Ryu) likes to play with this line at the live shows sometimes, changing the first bit to be the name of whatever venue they're at. Like Nissho Hall is the most exciting of all!

I worded it like this specifically because I wanted to be able to keep that for my own amusement. I love the seiyuu lives...

[5] He taught me how to have faith

It's not entirely clear who's doing the 'teaching' here but I assume it's religion/God.

But, really, this could be also be alluding to Saimon and Bar 4/7 overall. Shiki's character has a nice crossover between his literal faith in God, and faith in his friends and admiration of those who saved him. Long-winded explanation of why I tled it this way lol
