Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE 159

good to see a new ch after a week's break.

Since they're pimping out the chapter with color,
I'm pimping my trans with script! Oh baby!

01
巻頭カラーでセレス国編最高潮！
top: The climax of the Celes Arc, opening with full color!!

夢で待ってる貴方を
black: I'm waiting for you/in my dreams....

bottom: tsubasa

02
一瞬の輝きの為に
When it comes your time to shine,

魔術師の嘘
Chapitre 159. The magician's lie

03
咲き誇れ
Give it your best (lit. Bloom in full)

散りゆく時まで
Up until your time runs out (lit. until the time to scatter [refers to flower petals] arrives)

(t/n very hard to translate these abstract poetry things. I was a bit liberal. If there's some sort of metaphor here, it's lost on me)

ツバサ原画集＆公式ガイドブック１－２も大好評発売中！！
ＫＣ１９巻絶賛発売中！！
-The highly popular TRC original image collection & official guide books 1 and 2 are out for sale! The widely acclaimed 19th volume is also on sale! (t/n i believe KC is kodansha comics)

次のＰには大反響のＤＶＤ付き限定版の続報が！要チェック！

04
Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations
right: 夢は終わり、死闘が始まる！ ->The dreams are over, the battle to the death is about to begin!
left: 大川アゲハみずからの脚本による、東京編を完全アニメ化。 -> Straight from Ookawa Ageha (of CLAMP)'s personal script, comes the Tokyo arc fully animated!

...The rest is a bunch of names of who's on the project. Interestingly, Studio IG is in on this one! I bet it'll blow the rather disappointing TV show out of the water, since they're actually animating the GOOD part of the story. not stupid fillers!

It'll also be sold as a set with the manga that accompanies it. If I read it right, the OVA is 3 dvds and limited ed vols 21-23 are included. (they're not even out yet so i suppose they already have set release dates for these vols)

One more T/N - You know i never actually looked it up till now (thx to wikipedia)...i always assumed CLAMP was a guy. It's actually an all women mangaka group (yes more than one). That would explain why they're always drawing men with their shirts half on. I was thinking the author was, ...well...

05
Ｒｅｃｉｔ・・・記憶を失くしたサクラを救うため異世界を旅する小狼達！消えたサクラを救うため一行はセレス国へ。そこで遂に双子の息子であったファイの過去が明らかになる！凶兆の双子には罪人としての悲劇が連鎖し、もう一人の双子は死んでしまう！さらにはファイと飛王の関係が明らかになって・・・

SUMMARY - To save Sakura, who's lost her memories, Shaoran and co. travel to different worlds! This time Sakura has disappeared, so the group travels to the country of Celes. There, Fai's past as a twin is finally revealed! As the twins were labeled an evil omen and suffered one tragedy after another, one of them died! What's more, Fai's connection with Fei Wong has come to light...!

bottom - this is not a work of fiction, everything's real, and fye's records stores nationwide are giving 20% off this week. //just kidding

おまえには旅に出てもらう
砂漠の姫とこちらが用意した写身と共に

迎えに来るのはその二人？
-Are those two coming to get me?

違う
別の世界から来る者であるのは確かだがな
-No
-However, this person is indeed from a different world

もう一人共に旅立たせようとした者がいたが
魔女に先んじられた
-There was another I wanted to go along with you,
-But that witch got in the way

魔女？
強力な魔力を持つ者。次元を自由に渡る魔女。
-Witch...?
-She possesses powerful magic. So powerful, in fact, that she can cross dimensions herself

07
我が夢見の更に先を読み
その子供を
この手が及ぶ前に日本国の夢見姫に預けた
-She can see far ahead of what I can
-She got to that child
-before I could, and left him in the care of Nihon country's Princess Yumemi (yumemi is to see a dream. since i haven't read the comics way back i can't remember if that is her name. If that isn't a name then it probably means the oracle princess or something to that effect).

あの子供と出会う事があれば
魔女の一手だ
私だけではない
おまえの願いの妨げにもなる
-If you meet with that child,
-Remember that he is her pawn.

-You must accompany the princess of the desert

その躯に様々な時間軸を記憶し
玖桜国に眠る遺跡を発動させるために
-To store within her body the memories of various time lines* (the kanji for body here is actually corpse, as if referring not to her as a person but just a vessel. I guess like the sasuke - orochimaru kind)
-So as to activate the ruins that lie dormant in the Country of Kurou

我が願いを叶える為に
-And to grant my wish

おまえは写身と共に姫を守り旅を続けろ
いつまで？
姫が玖桜国に戻るまで
-You and my facsimile will travel with her as protection
-For how long?
-Until she returns to the Country of Kurou

10
旅を続ける妨げになるものはすべて排除する
もしも
魔女の一手である日本国の若造が邪魔するようならそれもだ

-In the event
-That the witch's pawn from Nihon Country should interfere, then take care of him as well

殺す・・・の？
-You mean...kill him?

自分を選んで双子の片割れを殺したお前が
他人を殺すのに何を躊躇することがある？
-Why do you, who chose to kill your own twin,
-suddenly hesitate when given the choice to kill a stranger?

ユゥイを出して
-Get Yuui out!

11
ファイと
一緒に行く
魂のない躯は朽ちる
連れて行けばそれが早やまるだけ
-I'm...

-A body with no soul will rot
-Take it with you and it will only speed the process

これから迎えに来る者がお前を連れて行く世界に羽が落ちてくる
姫の記憶の羽だ。強い力を秘めているおまえになら分かるだろう
その羽を片割れの中に入れておけば朽ちることはない
-In the world that the person coming to meet you resides, feathers will soon appear
-Those feathers are the princess' memories. I'm sure that the great power lying hidden within you will be able to tell
-If you put one of those feathers into your twin, he will not rot.

12
落ちてくる羽根は一つではない
そのうちのひとつは旅立つ時に持って行け
-There will be more than just one feather
-Out of those few, take one when you begin your journey

旅立ってすぐ姫に死なれては話にならん
-We cannot allow the princess to die so quickly

-羽根・・・いくつ落ちてくるの
そこまではまだ夢で見てはいない
-How many feathers...will there be?
-I have not been able to foresee that

すべてが夢見に現れるわけではない
いや　クロウ・リードならばそれも可能だったかもしれんがな
-And not necessarily will all the feathers appear in my dreams
-Perhaps only Clow Reed would be capable of such a feat

-Clow...?

13
忘れるなおまえは我が一手だ
願いが叶うまで
-Do not forget that you are my pawn,
-Until our wishes are granted, (t/n - typical japanese, omitted the object. it is either my or your. i don't know which it is, so i went with both!)

そしてもうひとつの呪いが解けるまで
-And until your second curse is lifted
