SID | 御手紙 (The Letter)

I decided to cut my hair　　Because the position at your side　　Has been vacated
But fretted over whether I should paint my lips red　　For I don't know you

With what little ability I have and all my might　　I try to speak of my pining for you
On a cleared dawn　　Ceaseless　　Thoughts　　Shall see daybreak

To a sinful you, I offer this　　The reason I was born
I only pray for this　　Shapeless prose　　To please, please convey well

I decided it has to be today particularly because　　The sky　　Is so blue

My trembling legs　　Quietly obstruct me　　When your voice lilts
The time has come　　What's left after that is to　　Step　　Beyond the door

I should be the one, more than any of　　The many who have served you in bygone days
If you'd deign to keep me at your side, with some relief　　I'll always keep　　My appearance　　The way you fancy

To a sinful you, I offer this　　The reason I was born
I only pray for this　　Shapeless prose　　To please, please convey well

I should be the one, more than any of　　The many who have served you in bygone days
If you'd deign to keep me at your side, with some relief　　I'll always keep　　My appearance　　The way you fancy

===
From the POV of a woman living in medieval times.

♪I only pray for this　　Shapeless prose　　To please, please convey well
Because she's a woman, she probably didn't know how to write, so it was impossible for her to pen an actual letter. This song IS her letter to him.

♪My trembling legs　　Quietly obstruct me　　When your voice lilts
She's being summoned to his chambers.

决定剪发是因为你身边的位置已无人占据
为是否该施上胭脂而烦恼是因为不了解你

用微薄之力尽力试着传达对你的恋慕
毫无止境的思念在已终结的破晓中导向天明

献给罪恶的你 ─ 这是我生于此世的理由
无形的诗文只能好好地，好好地为此祈求

特地选在今天是因为天空如此地湛蓝

当双足因你的呼唤而颤抖时，我将悄悄上门打扰
时机已成熟，在那之后唯有跨进门的另一边

与他人相比，曾为你服务过无数次的人应该是我
你若肯让我跟在身边，我会感到轻松些，一直保持你喜欢的样子

献给罪恶的你 ─ 这是我生于此世的理由
无形的诗文只能好好地，好好地为此祈求

与他人相比，曾为你服务过无数次的人应该是我
你若肯让我跟在身边，我会感到轻松些，一直保持你喜欢的样子

御手紙

髪を切ろうと決めたのは　君の隣　空いたから
紅を引こうか悩むのは　君を知らない

微力ながら精一杯　お慕い申し上げてみます
晴れて結び　暁には　とめどない　想　明け方

これは罪な君へ捧げる　生まれ落ちた理由です
形の無いもの故の文　上手く　上手く　それだけを願う

特に今日と決めたのは　空　青いから

すくむ足が　君の声が　揺らぐ頃はそっと邪魔をする
期は熟した　その後などは　扉の向こう　踏み込む

過去にいくつ君へ仕えた　誰よりもが私でしょう
傍に置けば少しは楽で　好む　姿　映し続けます

これは罪な君へ捧げる　生まれ落ちた理由です
形の無いもの故の文　上手く　上手く　それだけを願う

過去にいくつ君へ仕えた　誰よりもが私でしょう
傍に置けば少しは楽で　好む　姿　映し続けます



Not as pretty as the original, but I did my best. It's all archaic jp and keigo and translates a lot easier into chinese. _-_
