Another wonderful Higurashi no Naku Koro ni song by anNina. I just love how the lyrics describe Rika’s feelings of committing sin during Saikoroshi-hen. Being the 07th Expansion fan that I am I have translated this set of lyrics in addition to the usual transliteration. Please enjoy.
Romaji
Itaku nai you ni Yasashiku ayameta
Kotoba ni okikaete Kanashimi wo wasureta
Aa Ima Nani wo nakushita no darou
Tsumi to iu oto no narabi kara Omoiegakareta
Tsugunau koto mo kanawanai Yume no kioku
Nozomareta kono sekai kara Kiete naku natta
Itsumo sude ni kaketeiru Hito no inori
Kagami ni utsushita Jibun no sugata ga
Shiawase wo shiru hodo ni Futashika ni natte yuku
Aa Mada Hoshii nani ka ga aru no ni
Kyouraku no koe ga kikoenai Ima wo mitasu no ha
Akanau sube mo ubawarete Ikiru itami
Ikinobiru dake no sekai nara Mayoi kizutsuite
Hito wo suki ni naru you na Ai ha iranai
Osaetsukerareta sekai kara Imi wo ushinatte
Koboreochita genjitsu ha, doko he yuku no?
Watashi ga tsumi wo seou koto wo Anata ha nozonda
Watashi wo utsusu kagami no mae ni ha Dare mo inai
English Translation
Painlessly I murdered them gently
I replaced it with words and forgot the sadness
Ah, what have I lost now?
I was made to imagine a list of sounds called sin
It won’t come true, this memory of a dream of atonement
From the world I had longed for they disappeared and vanished
The prayers of people always damaged
The more my figure reflected in a mirror understands happiness
The more uncertain it becomes
Ah, yet there is still something that I want
Fulfilling this present where I can’t hear voices of pleasure
This method of compensation and the pain of living was taken away
If it is a world where I am merely surviving
I don’t need to ambivalently wound or love other people
From the world that I am pinned down I parted with meaning
This scattered reality, where is it going?
You wished for the sin that I am burdened with
In front of the mirror reflecting myself everyone is gone
Kanji
痛くないように やさしく殺（あや）めた
言葉に置き換えて 悲しみを忘れた
ああ いま 何をなくしたのだろう
ツミという音のならびから 思い描かれた
つぐなうことも叶わない 夢の記憶
望まれたこの世界から 消えてなくなった
いつもすでに欠けている 人の祈り
鏡に映した 自分の姿が
幸せを知るほどに 不確かになってゆく
ああ まだ 欲しい何かがあるのに
享楽の声がきこえない 今をみたすのは
あがなうすべも奪われて 生きる痛み
生き延びるだけの世界なら 迷い傷ついて
他人（ひと）を好きになるような 愛はいらない
抑えつけられた世界から 意味を失って
こぼれ落ちた現実は、どこへ行くの？
私がツミを背負うことを あなたは望んだ
私を映す鏡の前には 誰もいない
