*** Violinist of Hameln Translation : Volume 15, movement 58 ***************************************************** By:Watanabe Michiaki Published by: Gan Gan Comics, Enix English Translation: Hanny Lee (SD_Wyvern@aol.com) 1999 Some additional editing by Ashley Auld (Soujiro_no_Miko@hotmail.com) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer : I am not even going to pretend that this is totally accurate translation. The series does NOT translate very well in English... More of this depended on my own judgment call than I would have liked... Sorry about that. Watanabe uses WAY too many trail-offs and pauses in his script (Over excessive amount... It's far worse than Captain Kirk. I mean, hardly any word bubble goes by without "..."), and the presence of gender-neutral sentence patterns made usage of he/she my own judgment call. Meaning... I KNOW some of the lines just sound cheesy, but that's the best translation I could come up with. Please note this when you are using this translation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- pg. 7 Flute : I... Don't know what he was thinking when he told me to go back... I don't know his past... And I don't even have confidence in myself. It may all be for nothing. (But...) pg. 8 The 58th Movement : Dance of Death pg. 9 <> pg. 10 Flute : (If he is [Hamel] is in trouble, then I must go) Toron : Flute! Flute : Let's go... To Score! pg. 11 <> [Translator's note : There is no gender definitive term actually being used in this scene in the original] pg. 12 Girls : (In background) Wow! So beautiful... It's like looking at a painting Girl1 : She's just like an angel Girl2 : Why don't you try talking to her? Girl3 : No, it's too embarassing! Girls : ** Chatter ** Sizer : <> (Because he ends up killing people... ) pg. 13 Raiel : My Father and Mother... They were murdered by Hamel... After that... That time when his mother, whom he trusted more than anyone was captured inside that crystal... When she was taken away from him right in front of his eyes... That moment when the person whom he had been relying on for support all this time... He probably couldn't hold it back anymore. He... The blood which ran with maddening slaughter His blood had awakened... Hamel... had become a demon. [Mazoku] pg. 14 Raiel :The Devil's... "Flesh and Blood"... All the remaining people... were killed by him. Brutally torn apart... pg 15 Even my Mother and Father... Were killed by him... It was horrible.. It was like hell, the whole place covered with blood... He was a demon, a devil! No, he was... Sizer : That wasn't Hamel... But... That was the blood of the devil's fault! It's not all Hamel's fault! If anything, it was them [Mazoku] who are to blame! pg. 16 Sizer : He is... He is... He is... ! Raiel : I understand... That he was the one who was hurt most. That was an accident... Mazoku made him do it. Their purpose seemed to have been Hamel's transformation... They left right after that. pg. 17 Raiel : Hamel's "Power" was stopped by Lord Oboe, but... When he returned to normal, he could only cry... His mother Padora, who fought with all her strength for nothing... All the people also died... Killed my Father and Mother with his own hands... It was since then, when he started to avoid people. Misfortune falls on everyone who becomes related with him... Are killed... He is always lonely... pg. 18 Raiel : That's why I... With all my heart... Want to make him happy. Sizer : (So that's it...) (If that's the case, there is nothing that I can do... I can't blame him...) (Sorry... Flute, Hamel... ) pg. 19 Girl1 : Um... You're the Hero Hamel, right? Girl2 : It's so nice to meet you! We've heard so much about you. Girl3 : Good luck on your journey to defeat Mazoku. Thank you so much! Girl1 : You must be really powerful.. I want to hear all about it! Like... "I defeat the Mazoku with the absolute power of the Magical music". That violin must have magnificent sound... Girl2 : I want to hear it! Girl3 : Would you play it for us? Please? Girl2 : Please! We want to hear you play! Girl4 : Hey, now... <> pg. 20 Girls : Wow... What a beautiful song! pg. 21 King : Well! Man : Hmmm. Is the Hero is playing for us? Woman : It's beautiful... Priest : Really, it is a beautiful tone. King : Indeed. It's as if your heart is being cleansed. Man 1 : That is a beautiful performance. Man 2 : But what is that song? Some Guy : Aaaaaah! Some Guy : It's a funeral march!!! [ Editor's Note- Hamel is playing "Dona Dona" a particularly depressing and rather melancholy piece of music about a cow who is being carted to market to be sold.] pg. 22 <> Some Guy : Aaaaa!!!! It makes me want to die just listening to it..!! Some Guy : Boo hoo... I am sorry... Please forgive me! King : Hyaaaa! The Celebration party turned itself into a funeral field!!! Snap out of it, priests! Priest 1 : Forgive me, forgive me...!!! Priest 2 : I was only interested in your mama's body!!! Women : Please, stop!!! We beg you! Please stop Some Guy : Dammit! WE told you to STOP, you #%^#$!!!! pg. 23 Crowd : HELP ME~~~ MOTHER!!!! Sizer : ..... Raiel : Ha-chan... Sizer : (Raiel...) <> (Raiel...) Raiel : You haven't changed a bit, Ha-chan.. You seem really disturbed... I couldn't just sit back and watch. You don't play that funeral music unless something is really bothering you... It's Flute... You're worried about her, aren't you? Flute understood you, and she did so well up until now... pg. 24 Raiel : You also liked Flute too, didn't you? Hamel : YOU IDIOT! Who would POSSIBLY like a girl like THAT?! Raiel : Ha... Ha-chan... Hamel : Don't mess with me you little @#$@!!!! Why you...!!! Take THIS! Raiel : Aaah!! What are you doing?! Ha-chan!! Hamel : Ha ha ha ha!!! And then, I'll do THIS! Raiel : Waaaa! STOP IT, HA-CHAN! pg 25 Hamel : Hey, everyone! He CALLS himself the "Warrior of Love"... But during the field trip, we went to a hot spring during the night... He saw undergarment that some girl forgot, and dyed the Men's spring red with his nosebleed. Ever since then, he was stuck with the nickname "The Rose of Berusai bath"* [* -> Read in Japanese, (Berusai yu no Bara - With "yu" as kanji for "bath") it is read the same way as "Rose of Versailles" (Berusaiyu no Bara) ] Raiel : Noooo!!! [Sorry, the next line just doesn't translate... Think of it as "You've revealed it!"] Well, what about you?! You got into trouble when the teacher saw you playing while wearing that undergarment and you had to sit in front of everyone! <> <> Hamel : Aaaah! No! [See Raiel's line above] Hamel : Yeah?! Well, YOU were the one who had ANOTHER nosebleed fit when you saw me in that undergarment! Raiel : [See above... (Sorry)] Dammit! I was really worried about you! You DESERVE misfortune! pg. 26 Oboe : Sorry, Raiel... We really are being a burden on you. Ever since you were a kid... Raiel : Lord Oboe... Oboe : He was born with a difficult destiny... He can't be involved with normal people... All humans who got involved... Turned out like your case... Raiel : We... well... Oboe : Even to flute, he did horrible thing... That was the only way... At the time, the blood and Mazoku within him was awakening... If it went on like that, Flute might have been killed. pg. 27 Obo :He really is an unfortunate being... Raiel : (Ha-chan...) <> Oboe : But... A party without Flute... Became awkward indeed. pg. 28 Girl : Um... Sizer-sama? If it is all right with you... Would you dance with me? Sizer : Huh? D..Dance? I.. I've never tried dancing before... Girl : It's all right! I'll teach you *Giggle* It's all right. Sizer : Huh? Uh... Wa...wait... pg. 29 <> Girl : *Giggle* Sizer-sama, You're really very good. Sizer : No... Um... I... Woman 1 : What a magnificent couple! Woman 2 : Like a beautiful painting... She looks like an Angel.. King : Hmmm... A member of the Heroes' party... Very elegant! Oboe : Ho! Sizer... Raiel : Aaaah! Sizer is... With another girl that I don't know?! Girl : Is it good, Sizer-sama? Very beautiful pg. 30 <> pg. 31 Girl : That was very cruel, Sizer-sama. Attacking with Scythe in the middle of a dance... Goes against common etiquette. Sizer : Hmph! I can tell from the smell, even with the perfume... You can't get rid of that smell of death and blood! You were still alive... Pg 32 Orgel?! pg. 33 Crowd : <> Mazoku?! It's Mazoku! Aaaaaah!!!!! Call the Troops! Save the ladies! Protect the King! Oboe & : What on Earth... ?! Orgel should have been impaled by the Valkyries' spears from Sizer that time! Orgel : Well, well... I guess you've figured it out. I guess I am not very well-liked here... How like you Sizer-sama... I wanted that magical moment to last just a little bit longer... hehehehe.. Pg. 34 Orgel : Long time no see, everyone! What a pleasant surprise... I'm SO glad to see that you are all doing so well! Hmm... What is this? Princess Flute isn't here. What happened? Surely, you didn't send her BACK... hehehe... Oh, dear... To have Princess Flute, who is the very support for Hero Hamel's heart... Pg. 35 Orgel : The party's "Keystone", missing... Oh, this can't be very good... Looks like this will be vvveeeerrrrryyy interesting... I'd swear upon this mask. Raiel : You... YOU! You should have been impaled by Sizer's Valkyries spears! Why are you still alive?! Orgel : Yes, that's right. Pg. 36 Orgel : It's because I'm a being of the Netherworld. My body, you see, is a corpse. So I don't die from THAT... It's weird to even use the world Death... Crowd : Aaa... Dead person is Moving?! Kyaaaa!!! It's a ghost!!! Orgel : That's right... The nutshell is... I am a "Spirit user".. Controlling dead corpses with my will. Pg. 37 Orgel :I'm in the same category as you! Controlling corpses with my music... But you see, I was something of a failure... So I can only use "special" spirits... Spirit of those who have a grudge or unfinished business... You know, THAT kind of people. It's called Hatred-using... In other words, THESE type of people! Pg. 38 The Dance of Death... Pg. 39 Raiel : Aaaa... Aaaah!!!!! Sizer : What's wrong, Raiel?! What is it?! Oboe : Ah... Orgel : That's right! It's people of the village 'Ansem' Pg. 40 Orgel : Those poor people who had been involved with Hamel and suffered a horrible death... My beautiful zombies! Now, let's dance and continue the reception party! Entertain our guests! It's a beginning of a real entertainment! Return them the same suffering that you suffered! Pg. 41 Raiel : Stay away! Hamel had nothing to do with it! You people were killed by Mazoku! Stay AWAY!!!! Oboe : Even if these people are being controlled by Orgel, they were once human... We can't just attack them! Why you... ORGEL!! Using the power of spirits who couldn't die in peace like this...!! Orgel : That's right... This person... was also from Ansem. He was also killed then. His family as well. To tell you the truth, there were also my zombies among the village of Senzer! Pg. 42 Raiel : Hamel! Sizer : Why you!!!! Pg. 43 Sizer :I'll TEAR you to pieces, ORGEL!!!! <> Pg. 44 Sizer : Wha... You... You're... Orgor : Doesn't it bring back memories? They're Slur's Holy Demon Troop... People YOU've killed... Pg. 45 Sizer : Why... YOU... Damn!! Raiel : Sizer san! Grr... I'll burn you away!! FIREBIRD--- Pg. 46 Orgel : You STILL don't understand, do you? ...Raiel... I can also do things like THIS, Raiel... chan. It's me, Dad...hehehe Pg. 47 Raiel's Mom : It's been so long, Raiel... Are you doing well? I'm dead... hehehe Raiel : M... Moth... NOOOOO! It's NOT like this! Raiel's Mom : What's wrong? I'm your mother. Let's have some tea... hehehe Raiel : No! These are all LIES! Raiel's Mom : Raiel-chan. hehehe Raiel : FATHER, MOTHER--!! WAAAAAAAA!!!!! Oboe : (He.... He's not someone to "fight" or "defeat"... ) (Making people Suffer... Bring them pain... To break them down...Make them run away... Living off of people's suffering... The Lowest Garbage...!!!!) ORGEL!!! Pg 48 Orgel : I am the Netherworld's clown... Orgel. As long as there is hatred in the human heart... I'll ALWAYS come back... Hamel. HEHEHEHE!! Pg. 49 <> Hamel : STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pg. 50 Orgel : I told you... The way i do things... They make people hate me... Aah, So much fun! Pg. 51 Oboe : N... NO!! DON'T DO IT!
