    New Years Poem 2017

    HERE WE GO AGAIN, GANG! OP will be updated from now until it's "done".

    As always, translations are amateur and unpolished.
    Please suggest better translations if you spot anything that seems amiss. It can only help the final interpretations.

    ENGLISH
    Look ye where the sun doth rise,
    See crimson embers, dark'ning skies,
    Look ye where the sun doth fall,
    See azure lost amidst the squall.

    JAPANESE
    日出ずる場所にて生まれし
    Born at the place where the sun rises

    紅き輝き烈火となりて
    The crimson light becomes a raging fire

    日沈む場所にて生まれし
    Born at the place where the sun sets

    蒼き輝きを喰らわん
    The azure light is consumed

    GERMAN
    Wo die Sonne ihren Lauf beginnt
    Where the sun's drift begins

    Blitzt Scharlachrot und lodert hoch zur Flamme auf
    Scarlet flashes and becomes blazing flame

    Bis leuchtendes Azur es niederringt
    Until the shining Azure subdues it
    Why is this the only language where Azure is saving the day rather than being at risk?

    Azur vom End' des Sonnenlaufs
    Azure from the end of the Sun's drift

    FRENCH
    L'ètincelle rougeoyante du levant
    The reddening spark of (the) rising (sun)

      s'enflamme soudainement
      ignites suddenly

    Menaçant de consumer
    Threatening to consume

      la lueur bleutèe du couchant
      the blue glow of (the) setting (sun)



    SIMPLE ENGLISH COMBINATION
    A spark causes tensions to erupt into conflict to the East. [Theme: Crimson]
    This conflict threatens to consume the West. [Theme: Azure]
