“Namamekashiki ansoku, tamerai ni hohoemi“ means “captivating rest, smile in hesitation“. This performance is taken from their TOUR16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO ________ [mode of THE MARROW OF A BONE].
Translating this was very fun, it was one of the first songs by Dir en grey that I remember being really captivated by.
Translation by me.
This beautiful song comes with quite straightforward lyrics, so there’s only one annotation this time:
“Even this fading existence will be too late - Even now I still don’t realize that I was crying in vain“ - Both these lines have a word in them that refers to “the state“ of being late and “the state“ of not realizing. I hope I was able to preserve this nuance.

I do not own Dir En Grey or any of their music or performances.
I translate for fun and wanted to share this translation.
Thank you for watching!
