Some of these also have American versions:
01: The death and the strawberry
(Ichigo cover)
We fear
what doesn't exist.
"We fear that which we cannot see."
02: Goodbye parakeet, Good night my sista
(Rukia cover)
People can possess hope
because our eyes are unable to see death.
"People have hope
Because they cannot see Death standing behind them."
03: Memories in the Rain
(Orihime Cover)
If I were the rain
could I connect with someone's heart
just as it can unite
the eternally separated earth and sky?
"If I were rain
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch,
could I join two hearts as well?"
04: Quincy Archer Hates you
(Ishida Cover)
We attract each other
like a drop of water, like planets.
We repel each other
like magnets, like the colors of our skin.
"We are drawn to each other
Like drops of water, like the planets
We repulse each other
Like magnets, like the colors of our skin"
05: Right arm of the giant
(Chad Cover)
If I don't wield the sword,
I can't protect you.
If I keep wielding the sword,
I can't embrace you.
"I can't protect you without holding a sword.
I can't embrace you while holding a sword."
06: The death trilogy overture
(Urahara Cover)
True, we don't have anything such as "fate."
It's only those who drink in ignorance and fear
and stumble over their own feet
that fall and disappear within the muddy river
known as "fate."
"Yes, there is no Fate for us
Only those who are swallowed by
ignorance and fear and miss a step
fall into the rapid river called Fate"
07: The broken Coda
(Byakuya Cover)
We should not shed tears
for that will serve as a defeat of our bodies to our hearts.
It is then nothing more than proof
for it to be said that our hearts are things
beyond our ability to control.
"We should not shed tears
That is a surrender of the body to the heart
It is only proof
That we are beings that do not know
What to do with our hearts"
08: The Blade and me
(Zangetsu Cover)
When rusted, I can't cut again.
When you lose your grip, I will be torn apart.
Yes, it's with that pride that
has me resemble a blade.
"If it rusts, it can never be trusted
If its owner fails to control it, it will cut him
Yes, pride is
Like a blade".
09: Fourteen days for conspiracy
(Kuukaku cover)
Ah, even though our eyes are opened
we are dreaming of
flying through the sky.
"Oh, all of us dream
That we are flying the skies
With our eyes open."
10: Tattoo on the sky
(Ganju Cover)
We reach out our hand
to brush away the clouds and pierce the sky,
but even if we seize the moon and Mars
we still can't reach the truth.
"We reach out with our hands
Brush away the clouds and pierce the sky
To grab the moon and Mars
But we still can't reach the truth."
11: A Star and a Stray Dog
(Renji cover)
I will light a fire on an unreachable fang,
so that I won't have to see that star,
so that I won't let it tear at my throat.
"Light a fire to the fang that cannot be reached
So that I do not have to see that star
So that I do not slit this throat"
12: Flower on the precipice
(Aizen Cover)
We think the flower on the precipice is beautiful
because our fear make our feet stop at its edge
instead of stepping forward into the sky
like that flower.
"We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful
because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge
unable to step out into the sky
like that fearless flower."
13: The Undead
(Kenpachi Cover)
Any one time we throw away pride
we take a step closer to becoming beasts.
Any one time we kill a heart
we take a step back from becoming beasts.
"Every time we set aside our pride
we take a step closer to the beast
Every time we kill an emotion
we take a step away from the beast."
14: White Tower Rocks
(Hanatarou cover)
It creaks, it creaks; the tower of cleansed sins,
like the light, it will pass through this world.
It shakes, it shakes; the tower in our spine,
the one that will fall will be... us? Or the sky?
"Creak, creak, tower of purgatory
Piercing the world like light
Sway, sway, tower of spine
Will it be us or the sky that falls?"
15: Beginning of the death of tomorrow
(Kira cover)
I am merely practicing
saying goodbye to you
"I just keep practicing
Saying goodbye to you"
16: Night Of Wijnruit
(Whitey Cover)
The constant shower of the sun's mane
will erase the remaining footprints on the thin ice.
Don't be afraid to be deceived
for the world is already full of deception.
"The mane of the sun pouring down
Erases the footprints on thin ice
Do not fear deception
The world already lies atop deception
17: Rosa Rubicundior, Lilio Candidior
(Yoruichi Cover)
Red like blood
White like bone
Red like solitude
White like silence
Red like the beastly instinct
White like a god's heart
Red like thawing hatred
White like a frozen, pained cry
Red like the night's hungry shadows
Like a sigh piercing the moon
it shines white and shatters red
ügRed like blood.
White like bone.
Red like solitude.
White like silence.
Red like the beastly instinct.
White like a god's heart.
Red like thawing hatred.
White like a frozen, pained cry.
Red like the night's hungry shadows.
So shooting through the moon in a sigh is like
radiant white, scattered red.üh
18: The DeathBerry Returns
(Soi Fong Cover)
Your shadow stealthily
leaves nothing of where you go, like a poisoned needle
that sews together my footsteps.
Your light pliantly
strikes the water tower, like a lightning bolt
that severs the source of my life.
"Your shadow, quietly
Like a vagrant poison needle,
stitches my footsteps
Your radiance, lithely
Like lightning striking a water tower
Cuts down the source of my life."
19: The Black Moon Rising
(Bankai Ichigo Cover)
That's right,
nothing else can change my world.
"No, nothing can change my world."
20: End of hypnosis
(Gin cover)
One who paints the beauty in love
is one who pretends to not know love's form.
One who paints the ugliness in love
is one who understood it well.
"Those, who do not know what love is
Liken it to beauty
Those, who claim to know what love is
Liken it to ugliness."
Be my family or not
(Shinji Cover)
This entire world
exists for the sake of cornering you.
"Everything in this world
Exists to wear you down."
22: CONQUISTADORES
(Ulquiorra cover)
There is no meaning in our world,
neither is there any meaning in us, the ones who live in it.
It is then meaningless
for us, who are equally meaningless, to conceive the world in our thoughts
despite knowing there is no meaning to be found.
"There is no meaning to our world
There is no meaning to those of us living there.
We meaningless beings ponder the world
Thought the realization of meaninglessness
itself means nothing."
23: MALA SUERTE!
(Ikkaku Cover)
We are the fish before the waterfall
We are the insects inside the cage
We are the wreckage of the angry sea
The skull upon the staff
The torrent of power, all of which the whale swallows
We are the bull with five horns
We are the monster that breathes fire
The child who screams
Ah, we are
being poisoned by the moonlight
"We are the fish in front of the waterfall.
We are the insects inside the cage.
We are the ruins of the billows,
the skull on the crosier,
The force of the torrent and the whale that drinks it.
We are the five-horned bull.
We are the fire-breathing monster.
And the screaming children.
Oh, we are poisoned by the moonlight."
24: Immanent God Blues
(Grimmjow Cover)
Doesn't matter who it is
I'll fuckin' break 'em
"Break down, every single one of you."
25: No Shaking throne
(Hollow Ichigo Cover)
We all
die as we are born.
We always find the end
before the beginning.
If to live
means to continually search for wisdom,
we'll find the end waiting after our last lesson.
To finally see the subtlety of the end
and understand it completely
is what it means to die.
We cannot help ourselves from growing wiser.
Those who are helpless to their search for knowledge
are those who cannot transcend death.
"We are all
dead since we are born
The end is
there before anything starts
If to live is
to continue learning
The end is when we learn the very last thing
To finally discover the end
and learning about it completely
is what death is
We are not allowed to learn about something
Those who cannot transcend death,
shouldn't learn of anything"
26: The mascaron drive
(Luppi Cover)
That voice that pierces my chest so deeply
resembles a never-ending cry of ecstacy.
"That voice that pierces deep in my heart
is just like cheers that will not end"
27: Goodbye Halcyon Days.
(2nd Orihime cover)
We
As one:
are not intertwined
As two:
do not share the same form
Of the third:
we simply don't have eyes
Of the fourth:
we have no hope in that direction
At the fifth
therein lies the heart
28: Baron's lecture full-course
(Dordonii Cover)
Sire, we
look upon you
as one would a peacock
A look that borders on
anticipation, adoration, and something
akin to neverending terror
29: The slashing opera
(Thunderwitch Cover)
In my desperation, I'll dress myself up grandly
Even while knowing you'll cut me down
In my desperation, I'll polish myself to a shine
Even while knowing you'll cut me down
It was terrible, how it was terrible
When you once did just that
You lopped off my hair
And left me looking like you did when you died
30: There is no heart without you
(Kaien Cover)
That wound is as deep as the ocean
That bloody murder is as colorless as death
31: Don't kill my volupture
(Szayel Cover)
Tell me I'm hated most in the world.
32: The Howling
(Grimmy release Cover)
The king gallops
Shaking free from the shadow,
Beating the armor,
Kicking about the bones,
Slurping the flesh and blood,
The creaking increases.
Smashing the heart
He walks in alone
Toward the faraway other side
33: The bad Joke
(Nnoitra Cover)
We are insects...
Worms crawling underneath nonvolatile spite
I lift my head up, higher even than the moonüc
ücuntil I canüft see you merciful bastards anymore.
34: King of the kill
(Nel Cover)
If you give me wings
I will soar for you
Even if this whole land
Sinks down to the water
If you give me a sword
I will fight for you
Even if this whole sky
Shoots through with your light
35: Higher than the moon
(Mayuri cover)
If you even fail to be born, it's only natural to die.
36: Turn Back the pendulum
(Long haired Shinji Cover)
"It's still too early to believe."
37:
I don't believe in that thing called a beautiful person
though I believe in that thing called a beautiful flower.
A person's figure should resemble a flower, only when he is cut down and dies.
38:
"The only true fear is to become a warrior that doesn't know fear."
39:
To err is human.
To kill is the devil.
40:
"I envy because of the heart. I glutton because of the heart. I covet because of the heart. I am prideful because of the heart. I sloth because of the heart. I rage because of the heart. Because of the heart, I lust for everything about you."
41:
"To plunder that which has been lost,
Blood and flesh and bone and something else."
42:
"There is no world without sacrifice.
Are you unaware?
We are
In a sea of blood, ashes floating in hell
Crying the name of
A fading world."
--
I'm not to sure about this one. Can someone check it for me?
