Vocaloids (Kagamine Rin) - Noroi no Megane ~ stray girl in her lenses

[EJTranslations]

And while I'm Vocaloid-ing (though I really should get back to Sound Horizon and stop being so distractable), here's the other song I've found that I like. It is one strange little song, and a lot harder to follow than the last one, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

unknown : そこの、旅のお嬢さん
unknown : 何か、お困りですか？
unknown : なんと、めがねの度が合わない？
unknown : それは、お気の毒
unknown : ですが、大事になさってください
unknown : そのめがねは、あなただけに与えられた
unknown : 伝説の勇者のめがねなのです

soko no, tabi no ojousan
nanika, o-komari desu ka?
nanto, megane no do ga awanai?
sore wa, o-ki no doku
desu ga, daiji ni nasatte kudasai
sono megane wa, anata dake ni ataerareta
densetsu no yuusha no megane na no desu

You there, young lady on a journey
Is something the matter?
What, the prescription on the glasses is wrong?
I am terribly sorry
But still, please take care of them
Those glasses were given only to you,
The glasses of a legendary hero

このせかいを識（し）ったときから
そうびされてる めがね
それは ひかりの軌道 ゆがめる
視覚補正デバイス

kono sekai o shitta toki kara
soubi sarete'ru megane
sore wa hikari no kidou yugameru
shikaku hosei DEBAISU

Since I came to this world
I've had them equipped, these glasses
They're a vision correction device
Distorting the path of the light

（ああ、めがねが）

(aa, megane ga)

(Yes, glasses)

このせかいの ホントの姿
視せてくれない めがね
だって わたしの視力 両眼
2.0 ですもの

kono sekai no HONTO no sugata
misete kurenai megane
datte watashi no shiryoku ryougan
2.0 desu mono

They don't show me
The true form of this world, these glasses
'Cause my vision is
20/20 in both eyes

（はい そーですか）

(hai sou desu ka)

(Oh, is that so?)

はずすコマンドは REJECT
なんとかしてよ

hazusu KOMANDO wa REJECT
nantoka shite yo

The command to take them off is rejected
Do something!

（はずれないのよ）

(hazurenai no yo)

(You can't take them off)

だけど 神父は夜遊び
昨夜は お楽しみでしたね イェイ イェイ

dakedo shinpu wa yoasobi
yuube wa o-tanoshimi deshita ne IEI IEI

But the priest goes out at night [1]
I see you had fun last night, yay yay!

ああ 円い衛星が にじんでく
あたま抱えて ERROR
波打つ 地平線
ああ エッシャーみたいな 街並み
めまいがするわ
ひとり ネジをひねり うずく脚

aa marui eisei ga nijinde'ku
atama kakaete ERROR
namiutsu chiheisen
aa ESSHA mitai na machinami
memai ga suru wa
hitori NEJI o hineri uzuku ashi

Ah, the round satellite blurs
It's a puzzling error
The horizon wavers
The houses look like a painting by Escher
I'm getting dizzy
Alone, I turn the screw, my feet throb [2]

ぴたり 狙いを定めて
ピント あわせたつもり でもね
たからばこは レンズじゃ 視えない

pitari nerai o sadamete
PINTO awaseta tsumori demo ne
takarabako wa RENZU ja mienai

I'm fated to aim closely
I try to focus, but
I can't see the treasure chest through these lenses

このめがねを はずす手段が
記されてる 古文書
それは せかいの果てに あるはず
ひみつ諸島 図書館

kono megane o hazusu shudan ga
shiru sarete'ru komonjo
sore wa sekai no hate ni aru hazu
himitsu shotou toshokan

The ancient scroll stating [3]
How to take off these glasses
Should be at the end of the earth
In a hidden island library

（ああ でしょうか）

(aa deshou ka)

(Ah, perhaps so)

このめがねで 探してみると
なんということでしょう
視界ぼやけて ちずが読めない
ふねも 手に入れたのに

kono megane de sagashite miru to
nan to iu koto deshou
shikai boyakete chizu ga yomenai
fune mo te ni ireta no ni

When I try to look for it with these glasses
What happens?
My vision blurs, I can't read the map
Even though I got a boat and everything

（そりゃ たいへんだ）

(sorya taihen da)

(That's dangerous)

さがすコマンド NOTHING
もう お手上げよ

sagasu KOMANDO NOTHING
mou o-te age yo

The search command does nothing
Give me a hand already!

（ありえないでしょ）

(arienai desho)

(Unbelievable)

だけど Dr.はジャンクに埋もれて
屍のようだ 嫌 嫌

dakedo Dr. wa JANKU ni umorete
shikabane no you da iya iya

But the doctor is buried in junk
Like a corpse, no no!

わたしの せかいが 視えない
事象のすべて 視てる
魔獣は いずこに
ああ めっちゃ 不機嫌なステータス
せかいの はんぶん
きみに あげよか？ の ダイアログで

watashi no sekai ga mienai
jishou no subete mite'ru
majuu wa izuko ni
aa meccha fukigen na SUTEETASU
sekai no hanbun
kimi ni ageyo ka? no DAIAROGU de

I can't see my world
Looking at all the events
Where are the monsters?
Ah, my status is "really cranky"
With the dialogue of "Do you want me to give you
Half of the world?" [4]

YES と 口ずさんでは
NO を HIT で 走り出して
やつあたり で そいつを やっつけろ

YES to kuchizusande wa
NO o HIT de hashiridashite
yatsuatari de soitsu o yattsukero

Humming "yes"
Then hitting "no" and starting to run away [5]
In a burst of anger, I finish off those people

本当は花はもっと鮮やかだし
空はもっと広いし 海は深いし
陽は輝いてるし 君はそんなAHO面じゃない
なのに このめがねを通して見る景色ときたら
どうして何一つ 本物じゃないんだよ
こんな つくりもの みんな みんな

honto wa hana wa motto azayaka da shi
sora wa motto hiroi shi umi wa fukai shi
hi wa kagayaite'ru shi kimi wa sonna AHOdzura ja nai
na no ni kono megane o tooshite miru keshiki to kitara
doushite nani hitotsu honmono ja nai n'da yo
konna tsukurimono minna minna

Truly, flowers are more brilliant
The sky is wider, the sea is deeper
The sun shines brighter, you don't look as stupid
But when I look at the scenery through these glasses
Why doesn't anything look real?
All these fakes, all of them --

だいきらいだ

daikirai da

I hate them!

unknown : おお、いつぞやのお嬢さん
unknown : めがねの具合はいかがですか？
unknown : 何？ 「偉そうなことを言うお前は何者だ」？
unknown : さて、何者でしょうなぁ
unknown : あなたのめがねが、よい屈折率でありますことを

oo, itsuzoya no ojousan
megane no guai wa ikaga desu ka?
nani? "erasou na koto o iu omae wa nanimono da"?
sate, nanimono deshou naa
anata no megane ga, yoi kussetsuritsu de arimasu koto o

Oh, the young lady from before
How is the condition of your glasses?
What? "Who are you to ask such a self-important question?"
Well then, who am I, hmm
May your glasses have a good refraction index

[1] What?
[2] Not getting this line either.
[3] Yes, I know it doesn't literally say "scroll," I'm just having a bit of fun with it -- trying to sound RPGish. If people think it's too great a liberty I can change it to "ancient text" or whatever.
[4] Awkwardly phrased, but I can't think of anything better right now.
[5] Not sure I've gotten what these lines are saying.

[Datenshi]

Hmm... Interesting song.

>unknown : そこの、旅のお嬢さん
>You there, young adventurer lady
I've always thought of 旅 as travel or journey more than adventure.
-> You there, young lady on a journey

>だけど 神父は夜遊び
>But the priest plays at night [1]
What? indeed XD. 「夜遊び」 is used to refer to all leisure activities that involve going out at night, like going drinking in town, gambling, womanizing, etc.
-> But the priest goes out at night

>昨夜は お楽しみでしたね イェイ イェイ
>And last night was fun, yay yay!
-> I see you had fun last night, yay yay!
I have a terrible feeling that this a 2-channel meme (「ゆうべはおたのしみでしたね」) from the game Dragon Quest. The innkeeper says it to the player when you spend the night at the inn with a girl in your party, and is immensely famous for being so randomly inappropriate.

>せかいの はんぶん
>きみに あげよか？ の ダイアログで
>Because I've been halfway around the world
>With the dialogue of "can I give them to you?" [4]
I don't know where you're getting the "been" here. It seems to make more sense to read it as 「せかいのはんぶん　きみにあげよ（う）か？」.
-> With the dialogue of, "do you want [me to give you]
Half of the world?"

>unknown : あなたのめがねが、よい屈折率でありますことを
>Your glasses have a good refraction index
I think you missed the 「を」, which makes this a wish (「～でありますことを（祈ります/願います）」).
-> May your glasses have a good refraction index

* I don't know whether someone's vision being 2.0 in Japan means the same thing it does in the US (here it would mean she was far-sighted). If it's not, let me know, I'll change it to an equivalent. (If it is, should I still footnote it? A lot of people might not know...)

Hmm, I didn't know that. In Japan, 2.0 eyesight is almost considered a synonym for "perfect vision" or "really good eyesight", and it's probably the way it's used here.

Ugh, I had a reply written up, but then the forum apparently went down for a few minutes and I lost it. And I'm lazy. So I'll just say thanks for the help!

Argh, I hate it when that happens too.
