CLAYMORE – Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~

Danzai no Hana

I have been listening to Danzai no Hana for the past few days. It is the ED theme to CLAYMORE. A really awesome song for a really awesome show. I think it’s a really apt song for Clare the lonely heroine. I am tempted to order the CD from Amazon

[audio:danzai_no_hana.mp3]

The English lyrics below are translated by me from the Japanese lyrics and not taken from the English version of the song that is included as track 3 on the single. The official English lyrics are heavily modified in order to fit the rhythm of the song.

Read on for the lyrics.

Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~
Kosaka Riyu

KOKORO… mada ANATA no KIOKU no naka de
KARADA… sagashiteru tarinai WATASHI wo

Convicted Flower ~Guilty Sky~
Riyu Kosaka

My heart… is still locked in your memories.
My body… I search for one for I have none.
Today I will once again see someone somewhere shed tears,
And again it’s my destiny to return nothing but a cold smile.

As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned,
I am standing here right now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

Every “pain” has a “beginning” somewhere,
And an “ending” that surely awaits.
The warmth I felt in you on that day too,
It faded away quietly till my hands felt empty.

Only the sounds of lost hope seem to increase,
I threw away everything to be here now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The dying love, the cruel dream,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

This world,
It needs a solitude
Called “truth”.

Your shadow,
Your dreams,
I was chasing after them…

As I hold on to this fate that cannot be abandoned,
I am standing here right now.

Like an eternally-blooming flower’s beauty,
The persistent feelings continued to blossom in my heart.
The clouds are torn into pieces in the guilty sky,
I embraced tightly the neverending remorse.

Wish for the future…
And continue dancing… For ever…

断罪の花~Guilty Sky~
小坂りゆ

ココロ…まだアナタのキヲクの中で
カラダ…探してる足りないワタシを
今日も何処かで誰かの流す涙
冷たく笑う運命を生きていく事

なくせないもの握りしめながら
ワタシは今もここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれた雲の断罪の空
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

どんな“痛み”にも『始まり』はあって
いつか訪れる『終わり』を待ってる
あの日アナタに感じた温もりも
気付けば手が透けるぐらい色褪せてた

失っていく音ばかり増えて
全てを捨ててここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれゆく愛 残酷な夢
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

この世界は
真実という
孤独を必要とした

アナタの影
アナタの夢
追いかけてた…

なくせないもの握りしめながら
ワタシは今もここにいるの

枯れない花は美しくて
ゆるぎない思いを胸に咲き続けた
ちぎれた雲の断罪の空
止まらない哀しみを抱き締めていた

未来、求めて…
踊りつづけて…永遠に…

    Hey DM,
    just asking, which type of shipping from amazon japan will it be safer for the packages to not undergo checking by the MDA. I’m thinking of ordering DVDs again from amazon japan,but the thought of the MDA screwing up my previous order( scratches over the dvd covers etc.) made me rethink. Hope you can provide some help for this issue. Thx

  2. Akiraman says:

    Interesting ED music from CLAYMORE a anime that I want to watch but have yet to get to it.

  3. DarkMirage says:

    My packages from Amazon have never been checked by MDA before.

  4. double says:

    So what shipping do you use? EMS?

  5. natsuneko says:

    Heh, I’ve been listening to it a lot as well lately. It is indeed kickass ^^

    However, the PV disappointed me a LOT. It’s made of highspeed camera overuse and unrelated to the song and massive loads of fail.

    Too bad, I’d have liked something more medieval for that one.

  6. exalt dragon says:

    I like the song too but it seems the LONE .flac lossless release has some kind of file error….. guess I have to stick with the mp3 one from nipponsei..XD

  7. Mentar says:

    Oh, the second half was better, I think – with the many cuts from the anime. On the downside it’s only a stripped version about 1 minute short, buuut nothing which couldn’t be fixed with some creative scripting…

    First time ever I felt the wish to work on a PV, but this piece is just too awesome. Maybe something will come out of it… :->

  8. DarkMirage says:

    I seldom use EMS nowadays because I realize that normal registered mail takes only 2-3 more days to reach Singapore due to either our close proximity to Japan or an efficient postal system.

    Anyway, all Amazon shipments are handled by DHL so I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with EMS.

  9. knowngni says:

    Wow the English verson of the song really is heavily modified like you said. It was so hard to distinguish what she was saying. I probably would appreciate the english version better if I could clearly hear the lyrics.

  10. Wolves says:

    Hmmmm.. Actually, instead of ‘for ever’ in the last line, I’d prefer ‘eternally’. Dunno, maybe its just me. The ‘ly’ just rhyme’s ‘ni’ anyway. heh

  11. Fearesta says:

    I noticed some of your lyrics are a little off (the jap) Just in a few places, But I’ve been listening to this song for a while and you mixed up/added a few letters. It’s prob not noticable to most ppl but i notice it quite a bit, personally.

  12. Fearesta says:

    If you’re wondering what i think my corrections are, then here:

    tsumetaku warau unmei wo ikiteiku koto
    =
    Tsumetaku warau sadame wo ikite-yuku koto

    kidzukeba te ga sukeru gurai iroaseteta
    =
    kidzukeba te ga sukeru kurai iroaseteta

    ushinatteiku oto bakari fuete
    =
    ushinatte-yuku oto bakari fuete

    yuruginai omoi wo mune ni dakitsudzuketa
    =
    yuruginai omoi wo mune ni sakitsudzuketa

    WATASHI wa ima koko ni iru no
    =
    Watashi wa ima-mo koko ni iru no

    Correct me if I’m mistaken at all. and it’s rly no big deal, i’m just bored so i’m correcting you. xD

  13. Fearesta says:

    Hope i didn’t sound mean.. or offensive in any way. And if i did, srry. Hehe.

  14. DarkMirage says:

    I had been meaning to change the unmei part after listening to the song again but I kept forgetting.

    And I seem to have missed out the “mo”.

    But the other two changes do not match the printed lyrics.

  15. speaking of claymore….

    dunno why, but seems because the anime get hits currently
    it really make good sell in claymore manga
    almost all shop sold out those manga… even kinokuniya and amazon….
    toranoana still have some… but no longer complete 1-12

    what make more crazy… cheap made theresa figurine from young jump present price goes to unbelievable point… more than 30Kyen
    http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m44865255

    standard price for that figure before the anime started is about 5000-8000yen only

    anyone know the lyrics to the english version? it really IS heavily modified and im too scrubby to figure it out >.

    Official lyric:

    Flower of Conviction ~Guilty Sky~

    Hear my heart, wandering inside your mind
    I still can’t let you go
    Feel my hand, reaching out for you
    there’s nowhere I can rest my soul
    Yet again, somebody is crying all alone
    lost in the night
    A trick is played, fate is what we can’t avoid
    but now we have to move on

    Still I cherish what you gave to me
    nothing can take it’s (sic) place
    Do you know how trapped
    I am, don’t leave me here alone

    Beautiful, the flowers bloom
    her grace will never die
    Nothing can shake her mind,
    she’ll keep her face towards the blazing light
    Clouds that break away today
    share my pain oh guilty sky
    Deep down inside I cried for my soul
    embraced the tears that flows

    DOn’t you know, there is a beginning
    in every single pain
    Anxiously waiting for the end
    to come for it to fade away
    Now your warmth, all of that is vague for me to touch
    your love is faint
    No color there, can you see my hand
    it used to reach out for you every day

    Silence catches up on me,
    there’s no longer a place for me
    Now I’ve reached my destiny
    I’m walking for myself

    Beautiful, the flowers bloom
    her grace will never die
    Nothing can shake her mind,
    she’ll keep her face towards the blazing light
    Love that breaks away today
    Dreams are crashed in every way
    Deep down inside I cried for my soul
    Embraced the tears that flows

    This world I am standing on
    Needed some solitude
    That truth I had to accept, soak it in
    Your shadow I can see
    Your dream I can’t awake
    I tried to trace it all

    Still I cherish what you gave to me
    nothing can take it’s (sic) place
    Do you know how trapped
    I am, don’t leave me here alone

    Beautiful, the flowers bloom
    her grace will never die
    Nothing can shake her mind,
    she’ll keep her face towards the blazing light
    Clouds that break away today
    share my pain oh guilty sky
    Deep down inside I cried for my soul
    embraced the tears that flows

    Seeking for the future, yeah
    I’ll keep on dancing towards my shining days

    awesome music.

    This song impressed me because the artist is Kosaka Riyu. Konami letting their primarily Bemani artists sing songs for anime is a big step for them. I only know of this and BeForU doing the ending to the 3rd season of Major. I don’t know if it’s their recognition as artists, or if Konami is trying to spread their influence.

    Someone subbed the PV of Danzai no Hana using my translation. Torrent here:

  20. Soruk says:

    Thanks for that :) I’ve added them to the sheet music I put together as a preparation for the remix I made of this song. That remix is at my website (click my name!), along with the other Haruhiism UK mixes.

  22. For Claymore anime ending with this song, it’s great work & I watched it many times.

  23. Romana Meidl says:

    It’s interesting that so many comments seem to focus on me getting sued. I can’t really say I understand the attitude that completely reprogramming something bought at a profit, without EULA, without any contract etc.. should attract a lawsuit.
