千本桜 (Senbonzakura)

==Alternate Versions==
==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
大胆不敵にハイカラ革命 	daitanfuteki ni haikara kakumei 	Bold and fearless, a white-collared revolution"ハイカラ" implies obsession with the West, the haughty middle class, and refers to this atmosphere in the Meiji era, when used in modern context. Hence the "White-collared revolution" not only to imply the haughty middle class, but also to imply the obsession with "White" culture.
反戦国家 	rairairakuraku hansen kokka 	Forbearing and rustic - a pacifist regime磊々落々 means easygoing, without sweating the small things, carefree. If I'm being really literary, it can be "Forbearing and rustic" - rustic referencing to the carefree and clueless atmosphere of countrymen, or geographically Japan, an isolated nation.
日の丸印の二輪車転がし 	hinomarujirushi no nirinsha korogashi	Rolling two-wheels, with a crest of the Rising Sun
悪霊退散　ICBM 	akuryoutaisan ICBM 	Begone, evil spirits - ICBM
 	 	
環状線を走り抜けて 	kanjousen o hashirinukete 	Through the peripheral lines, darting and dashing
東奔西走なんのその 	touhonseisou nan no sono 	Hurriedly toiling about, no big deal
少年少女戦国無双 	shounen shoujo sengokumusou 	Young men and women, unmatched among warmongers
浮世のに 	ukiyo no manima ni 	As our fleeting world dictatesContextually 浮世の随に means "Life goes on as this floating world (our world) goes on" so, hence the phrase "As our fleeting world dictates".
 	 	
千本桜　夜ニ紛レ 	senbonzakura yoru ni magire 	Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ 	kimi no koe mo todokanai yo 	Even your voice, shall not reach here
此処は宴　鋼の檻 	koko wa utage hagane no ori 	Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
その断頭台で見下ろして 	sono dantoudai de mioroshite 	From that guillotine, looking down upon
三千世界　 	sanzen sekai tokoyo no yami 	A transcendent universe三千世界is the "universe". It literally means 1000^3 worlds. So, "an encompassing universe" or "A transcendent universe" - would work - or something that makes us feel small in comparison. As for 常世之闇、 常 means ever-existing, perpetual, or something that's always there. 常世 is a perpetual/standardized world (lit.) and is the godly world. I chose "empyrean" because it was the only godly world I could find with "standard", "ever-lasting" elements., gloom of the empyrean
嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ 	nageku uta mo kikoenai yo 	Even the lamenting songs, shall not be heard
の空　遥か彼方 	seiran no sora haruka kanata 	The indigo skies, lies faraway yonder
その光線銃で打ち抜いて 	sono kousenjuu de uchinuite 	With that ray gun, impale the azures!
 	 	
百戦錬磨の見た目は将校 	hyakusenrenma no mitame wa shoukou 	The battle-hardened, veiled as an officer
いったりきたりの道中 	ittarikitari no oiran douchuu 	Loitering about with courtesans, truly a wanderlust
アイツもコイツも皆で集まれ 	aitsu mo koitsu mo minna de atsumare 	That guy, this guy, everybody round up
聖者の行進　わんっ　つー　さん　しっ 	seija no koushin wan tsuu san shi 	The Saints' march - one, two, three, four
 	 	
を潜り抜けて 	zenjoumon o kugurinukete 	Passing through under the Zen gate
安楽浄土厄払い 	anrakujoudo yakubarai 	The blissful lands, driving out evils
きっとは大団円 	kitto saigo wa daidanen 	Surely the finale will be laded with happiness
拍手の合間に 	hakushu no aima ni 	In-between the applauding,
 	 	
千本桜　夜ニ紛レ 	senbonzakura yoru ni magire 	Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ 	kimi no koe mo todokanai yo 	Even your voice, shall not reach here
此処は宴　鋼の檻 	koko wa utage hagane no ori 	Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
その断頭台で見下ろして 	sono dantoudai de mioroshite 	From that guillotine, looking down upon
三千世界　 	sanzen sekai tokoyo no yami 	A transcendent universe, gloom of the empyrean
嘆ク唄モ聞コエナイヨ 	nageku uta mo kikoenai yo 	Even the lamenting songs, shall not be heard
希望の丘　遥か彼方 	kibou no oka haruka kanata 	The hills of hope, lies faraway yonder
その閃光弾を打ち上げろ 	sono senkoudan o uchiagero 	With that flash grenade, signal the skies!

少年少女戦国無双 	shounen shoujo sengokumusou 	Young men and women, unmatched among warmongers
浮世のに 	ukiyo no manima ni 	As our fleeting world dictates
 	 	
千本桜　夜ニ紛レ 	senbonzakura yoru ni magire 	Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
君ノ声モ届カナイヨ 	kimi no koe mo todokanai yo 	Even your voice, shall not reach here
此処は宴　鋼の檻 	koko wa utage hagane no ori 	Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
その断頭台を飛び降りて 	sono dantoudai o tobiorite 	From that guillotine, jumping right off!
 	 	
千本桜　夜ニ紛レ 	senbonzakura yoru ni magire 	Sakuras thousandfold, entwined with night
君が歌い僕は踊る 	kimi ga utai boku wa odoru 	You shall sing, and I shall dance
此処は宴　鋼の檻 	koko wa utage hagane no ori 	Herein rages a feast, a cage of steel
さあ光線銃を撃ちまくれ 	saa kousenjuu o uchimakure 	Here, with the raygun, do go ballistic!Original meaning is shooting the raygun repeatedly, in a frenzy. So I used "Here, with the ray gun, do go ballistic!" (The tone of the singer when she chants ”打ちまくれ！” sounds like a call or a prompt to do as she says, hence the "do go ballistic")
