この手の中にある小さな欠片は　不思議な夢を見せてくれる

そっと握り締めるとなつかしい風景が記憶の中に溶け込んでゆく

> within this hand is a tiny fragment that shows a wondrous dream arriving

> with tender care I clasp it tightly as the nostalgic scene melts into my memories [♥]

夜空を見上げると星のざわめきが優しく君に降りそそぐ

ひとすじの光に願いを込めて　静かにその手を翳す瞬間

> as you gaze into the night sky, the murmuring sounds of the stars pour down on you

> making a wish on a ray of light, in the fleeting moment you silently raise your hand

赤い煌き　溢れる想いが　夢の果てに

繋いだ階段を　どこまでも照らす

white stair to sky

> in glittering scarlet, my overflowing feelings illuminate

> the staircase that leads to the end of the dream

> white stair to sky

遥か禁断の園　広がる迷宮の中　君を導く Garnet in the Eden

もう二度と戻れない時の中を歩いてゆく　君が還るべき場所まで

> you lead me through the sprawling labyrinth within the faraway forbidden garden, Garnet in the Eden

> I walk through a time that I may never go back to, until you return to this place

赤い煌き　昂まる想いが

夢の果てに浮かべた扉を　ゆるやかに開く

white door to sky

> in the glittering scarlet, my rising thoughts are

> the door that floated at the end of the dream, opening gently

> white door to sky

遥か禁断の園　広がる迷宮の中君を導く Garnet in the Eden

もう二度と戻れない時の中を　歩いてゆく…

> you lead me through the sprawling labyrinth within the faraway forbidden garden, Garnet in the Eden

> I walk through a time that I may never go back to...

遥か忘却の園　失した記憶の中　君を導く Garnet in the Eden

もう二度と戻れない時の中を歩いてゆく　君が還るべき場所まで

> you lead me through the dearly missed memories within the faraway garden of oblivion, Garnet in the Eden

> I walk through a time that I may never go back to, until you return to this place

真紅の輝き

Garnet in the Eden

> crimson brilliance

> Garnet in the Eden

Footnotes

Again, this one is for Lillifox ♥ Ah, nobody quite does a love song the way MM did... </nostalgic fangirling>

[♥] if you were to translate the そっと "sotto", in this sentence as its most common gloss, "softly", you'd get "softly grasping it tightly", which is an obvious oxymoron and definitely not what Klaha intended (imnsho ;p), so I went with a more poetic translation to keep the meaning.

[♦] sung as とき "toki", time, but given with the kanji for 瞬間 "shunkan", moment, thus creating a "fleeting moment" imagery, much like the previously alluded-to shooting star.
