Original	Romanized	Translation
何処かで失くした手紙　見つけて手に取るような そういうものに似ている　けれどそこに書かれていることに　憶えは無い	dokoka de nakushita tegami mitsukete te ni toru you na sou iu mono ni nite iru keredo soko ni kakarete iru koto ni oboe wa nai	Like finding a letter that has been lost somewhere, and taking it by hand. It’s a similar feeling, but I have no memory of what’s written on there.
自分の足跡　自分というものが生きていた証の　それはいつかの紛い物	jibun no ashiato jibun to iu mono ga ikiteita akashi no sore wa itsuka no magaimono	My own footprints, evidence that a being called “me” lived – they are all fake things from the past.
だれもが生きて生きてそのいのち 何をそこに遺すのだろう	dare mo ga ikite ikite sono inochi nani wo soko ni nokosu no darou	Everyone lives on with their lives. I wonder what they’ll leave behind in there.
——その音に込めて。	– sono oto ni komete.	—— put into that sound.
うたいおもいかなでたものたち けれどわたしには　そのすべて　知ることなど叶わない…	utai omoi kanadeta mono-tachi keredo watashi ni wa sono subete shiru koto nado kanawanai…	The things that were sung, reminisced and played. But I have no way of knowing all of them…
たとえばこの瞬間も　私の胸の底から 聞こえる生存の音　これもきっと生きていた証になってしまう	tatoeba kono shunkan mo watashi no mune no soko kara kikoeru seizon no oto kore mo kitto ikiteita akashi ni natte shimau	If in this moment too, I can hear the sound of existence coming from the bottom of my heart, this will surely also become an evidence that I lived.
余りに頼りない　余りにも余所余所しくもどうにもならない　かくもわずらわしい鼓動	amari ni tayorinai amari ni mo yoso yoso shiku mo dou ni mo naranai kaku mo wazurawashii kodou	This all too untrustworthy, stiff, hopeless, and annoying, heartbeat.
わたしが生きて生きてそのいのち たとえ何かを遺しても	watashi ga ikite ikite sono inochi tatoe nanika wo nokoshite mo	I live on with that life. Even if I can leave anything behind
——この音のように。	– kono oto no you ni.	—— it will be like this sound.
うたいおもいかなでたものたち けれど「わたし」には　そのすべて　知ることなど叶わない…	utai omoi kanadeta mono-tachi keredo ‘watashi’ ni wa sono subete shiru koto nado kanawanai…	The things that were sung, reminisced and played. But “I” have no way of knowing all of them…
「私だれか」が生きた人生いのち—— そんな得体の知れない音跡 自分のたてた自分でない音　そんな独り善がりの「音楽思い出」なんて、嗚呼…	‘watashi’ ga ikita inochi sonna etai no shirenai oto jibun no tateta jibun de nai oto sonna hitoriyogari no ‘omoi’ nante, aa…	The lifeexistence that “Isomeone” lived —— That type of mysterious sound tracksthings. Sounds that I produced, yet do not belong to me. That kind of conceited musicmemories, ah…
そうして生きて生きるこのいのち いつかまた「わたし」はきっと	soushite ikite ikiru kono inochi itsuka mata ‘watashi’ wa kitto	And then I live on with this life. Someday, “I” will surely
——この音を憎む。	– kono oto wo nikumu.	—— hate this sound again.
うたいおもいかなでるかぎりに 「私だれか」の人生いのちを続かせることに——	utai omoi kanaderu kagiri ni ‘dareka’ no inochi o tsudzuka seru koto ni ——	As long they are being sung, reminisced and played. They will continue mysomeone’s existence life——
それでも生きて生きてこの鼓動いのち それを持つもののさだめと	sore demo ikite ikite kono inochi sore wo motsu mono no sadame to	Even then, this heartbeatlife lives on. The fate of the person who owns it…
——この音はかくも。	-kono oto wa kaku mo.	—— this sound is so…
うたいおもいかなでていこう けれど「わたし」には　そのすべて　知らずに生きてほしい…	utai omoi kanadete ikou keredo ‘watashi’ ni wa sono subete shirazu ni ikite hoshii…	Let’s sing, reminisce and play. But “I” hope to live without ever knowing all of them…
…わたしの、嫌いな、この音お楽とを。	watashi no, kirai na, kono oto wo.	… The musicsounds, that I, hate.

Transcriptor Note 1. “Usually, this word, “音楽”, is pronounced as “ongaku”, which means “music”. However, in this song, it is pronounced as “oto” (音), which means “sound”. Over the course of the song, “oto” isn’t written as “音”, but they are written by hiragana instead. 2. The real title of the song would be “the memory i hate”, because “音楽” (ongaku/music) is sung as “おもい” (omoi/feelings). However. “omoi” in Diao ye zong’s universe refers to “memories” more than ‘feelings”, and especially the song is refering to Akyuu. Sounds familiar to you yet? 忘らるる物語 3. Two children of Hieda are mentioned in the song. One is “私” (watashi”) written as a kanji, the other is “わたし” (“watashi”) written in hiragana form. They might come from a slightly different timeline to each other. The Child of Miare has the ability to “not forget anything she sees”. This applies to every generation of the girls who is taking care of Gensoukyou’s chronicle. In this song, we the latter successor has to be dealing with the bad memories she has (as well as the former’s). For her, those memories are just sound because she’s already removed her heart. This explains the kanji erasures in -omoi- as well, just for your information.
