Märchen



Märchen | マㇽチェン; Fairytale |
Vocals: Kalafina
Lyrics, Composition & Arrangement: Yuki Kajiura

Even the shape of this world, in which I was almost certain,
Begins to change and turn around you,
Before resting against your right cheek.

Within these hands of mine,
There’s nothing… not even dreams,
But, still, there is something else here –
Something that influenced my heart.

When the person you’d been longing for embraced you,
An ambiguous dream pierced through the basis of all order within you.

Becoming empty,
We found ourselves outside a box,
Having already seen ourselves inside.
We didn’t even comprehend where we were.

artia sorti ah

It resembled much like the legend,
The one that you had forgotten.
We, who cannot close our mouths
In order to seek out silence, are passing down
The innocent fairytale that we’re living out.
Seeking the distorted noise of “love”,
Longing for it… longing for it…
It gradually influenced our hearts.

I brushed away these feelings
That had begun to bristle forth –
The story of what happened to us here…
It was exceedingly simple.

Having lost our minds,
We found ourselves outside a box…
Or, perhaps, inside an even deeper box?
Going beyond the final page,
We left for good.

aria sortio adi

We sing,
Descending an octave from the tune.

estora aria sorti
ista i

The afterimage of joy and a future, too, must be there.
Still laughing with you one last time,
There was something ephemeral that I saw.
