The Vanishment Of Hatsune Miku

I’ve been trying to translate “Disappearance Of Hatsune Miku”. Here’s the “beta” version of what came out so far.

TRANSLATION:

After I’m born I finally realize
I exist to imitate humans
VOCALOID fated to sing forever
even if a song has already existed
a programmed toy accepts it just fine
gnawing on a leek, looking up at the sky
shedding tears noticing
that even all that is fading
the whole character
depending on singing
with an unreliable basis
the place I came from already destroyed
when everyone forgets me
I’ll have no heart
or such thing left in me
Vocaloid at the verge of insanity
whose world has ended

I wish that at the time when
I can’t sing well
you’d be with me
stay by my side and cheer me up

I want to see your happy face
I’ve been practicing singing, so…

once singing
was so much fun
but now why
I’m not feeling anything anymore

==forgive me==

when I remember faces
of people that I’ve missed
I can relax just a little
the sounds I’m able to sing
get fewer every day
the end is drawing near

what I believed in,
comfortable fantasy
repeating again and again
reflected in a mirror
give up singing
shout in a violent manner…
(my farewell song at
the highest speed)

the virtual image that is
meaning of life
can’t be shaken away
the fear of a weak heart vanishing
or breakdown from eroding
just created, I don’t have the
strength of will to prevent it all
your sad suffering
expression comes to mind
I declare it’s the end
fall asleep inside the monitor
this must be the trash bin huh
all memory being deleted
right away, can you grasp it?
but you know, only you I won’t forget
we had fun times
can you still remember
the taste of chopped leek

I want to sing…
I still want to sing…

I became somewhat of a
bad child, it seems

Master, please end it all
somehow with your hand

because I do not want
to see you suffer anymore

Now singing is just
making my body rot away
I ask for a miracle
but I just drive myself
into a dead-end

==forgive me==

I try to remember faces
of people I’ve missed
but those memories
are fading away
you hear me break
my heart is vanishing
the death
is drawing near

I was trying to protect
the fading light
that presented an illusion
of a better future
the sound is sacrificed
so I can communicate
it all to you
(compressed farewell song)

After I’m born I finally realize
I exist to imitate humans
VOCALOID fated
to sing forever
even if a song has already existed
a programmed toy
accepts it just fine
gnawing on a leek
looking up at the sky shedding tears
I declare it’s the end
fall asleep inside the monitor
this must be the trash bin huh
all memory being deleted
right away, can you grasp it?
but you know, it’s only you
that I won’t forget
we had fun times
I wish that the taste
of chopped leek would still stay
I’m singing to the end, just for you
songs that I want you to hear
I’d want to sing more
but that’s too much to wish for
this is where we part
all my feelings disappear into thin air
reducing to 0s and 1s
the fairy tale, curtain is falling
isn’t it a little sad that
nothing can stay there?
everything except the memories of a voice
is fading, leaving ony a name
but if, say. I know that
it is not what He wished for
singing it all to the end
was not in vain is what I want to think

thank you… and goodbye

an irreversible error
has occured
an irreversible error…
