憐 (Pitiful) lyrics

The opening song for Minikui Mojika no Ko. Note: in part, it seems to reference a poem; "Du bist wie eine Blume". If you were not sure how much suffering is involved in the story, this may help clarify.

Kanji Ver. - 憐

ああ　絶望さえ
ああ　甘く響いた
瓦礫さえも　花のようだ
ただ悲しく

ああ　傷跡まで
ああ　甘い想い出
完璧まで　遥か遠く
ただ悲しく

美しい声　聴こえめても
残酷に痛みだけ刺さる
醜い声　視えたとして
ただ悲しく

ああ　壊れる音
ああ　甘い調べ
望んだ時　夢見ている
ただ悲しく

消えない意識　振りほどいて
とりとめに虚しさだけ抱いて
刹那の景色　頬撫でた
ただ悲しく

美しい声　聴こえめても
残酷に痛みだけ刺さる
醜い声　視えたとして
ただ悲しく

可憐

Romaji Ver. - aware

aa, amaku hibiita
gareki sae mo, hana no you da

zankoku ni itami dake sasaru
minikui koe mieta toshite

nozonda toki yume miteiru

toritomeni munashisa dake daite
setsuna no keshiki hoho nadeta

English Ver. - Pitiful

Ah, even the depths of despair
Ah, the sweet reverberations
Even the rubble invokes the same feeling as the flowers
'tis merely sadness

Ah, until scars remain
Ah, the sweet memories
Until perfection is reached; so distant, so far
'tis merely sadness

Even though I can hear your beautiful voice
I am cruelly stricken with suffering
As I can gaze at your ugly voice
'tis merely sadness

Ah, the sounds of breaking
Ah, the sweet observations
The times I longed for can only be seen within my dreams
'tis merely sadness

Relinquish me from this unwavering awareness
Let me embrace only meaningless nothingness
This ephemeral scenery; as you caress my face
'tis merely sadness

Even though I can hear your beautiful voice
I am cruelly stricken with suffering
As I can gaze at your ugly voice
'tis merely sadness

How pitiful
