英雄の鎧は常に紅く

A Hero's Armor is Always Crimson

戦が終わり荒れ果てた町を

In a town that fell to ruin at the end of a battle

一人の騎士が歩く

A lone knight walks through

彼は誰より戦果を挙げた

He'd earned more military gains than anyone

誰より人を殺した

He'd killed more people than anyone

.

敵国の民はその姿恐れ

The people of the enemy nation fear his form

必死に命乞いをする

And they desperately beg for their lives

しかしその願いを彼が

But he never

聞き入れることは決してない

Grants their wish

.

女の亡骸が抱えた

A woman's corpse tightly held

無邪気に微笑む赤子

An innocently smiling baby

彼は冷たい眼のまま

With cold eyes

剣を振り上げた

He lifted his sword

.

英雄の鎧は常に紅く

A hero's armor is always crimson

それはきっと浴びた返り血の色

That is surely the color of the spilled blood he basked in

誰かのための行いだとしても

Even if these are deeds for someone's sake

それを「正義」と呼べるのか

Can you call that "justice"?

.

それから五年の月日が流れ

Five years flowed on since then

戦は今日も続く

And the war continues today

騎士を仮住まいで待つのは

Waiting for the knight at a temporary home

一人の可憐な少女

Is a lone, sweet girl

.

あの時彼女の服に縫われた

Back then he'd noticed that stitched on her clothes

皇家の紋に気づいた

Was the Imperial family crest

手元に置いてあけばいつか

If he had her on hand, one day

人質くらいにはなるだろう

She might be useful as a hostage

.

「お帰り父さん」と微笑む

Foolish, innocent girl

無邪気で愚かな娘

Who smiles and says "Welcome home, Dad"

お前の親を殺したのは

You do this even though I myself am the one

この俺だというのに

Who killed your parents

.

英雄の鎧は常に紅く

A hero's armor is always crimson

それはきっと彼の野心と同じ色

That is surely the same color as his treachery

誰かのための行いだとしても

Even if these are deeds for someone's sake

それを「正義」と呼べるのか

Can you call that "justice"?

.

戦場には

On the battlefield

様々なものがはびこっている

Various things are running rampant

勝利　敗北　憎しみ　時の運

Victory, defeat, hatred, chance luck

そして裏切り

And betrayal

.

気が付けば騎士は

Before he knew it, the knight

大勢の敵に囲まれていた

Was surrounded by a great many enemies

彼らがただの兵士でないことは

It was obvious that

明らかだった

They weren't ordinary soldiers

.

「おとなしく娘を差し出せ」と

"Quietly submit to us that girl,"

迫る黒装束の老婆

Urged an old woman in black clothes

従えばおそらく

If he complied,

娘の命はないだろう

They would probably murder her

しかしそれは騎士にとって

But for the knight

望むところだったはず

That must have been a desired outcome

そのためにこの子を今まで

Because it was for that reason

飼っていたのだから

He'd been keeping her until now

.

剣を持ち

There was someone

騎士を守るように

Who held a sword

前に立った者がいた

And stood in front of the knight to protect him

震えてる小さな背中

A small, trembling back

それは幼いあの子だった

It was the young child.

.

憐れな娘よ

Pitiful girl

お前が父と慕う者は

You do this even though the one you love as a father

今まさにお前を

Was just about

売ろうとしていたと

To try

いうのに

To sell you off

.

騎士は娘の頭を

After the knight

優しく撫でた後

Gently patted the girl's head

.

殺し屋に向かって剣を抜いた......

He faced the assassins and drew his sword...

.

英雄の鎧は常に紅く

A hero's armor is always crimson

それはきっと浴びた夕焼けの色

That is surely the color of the twilight he basked in

血塗られた時代の中　手を繋いで

Walking hand-in-hand in that blood-stained era,

歩いていく騎士と娘

Is a knight and a girl

.

戦場には正義も悪もない

On the battlefield there is neither justice nor evil

贖罪の日はいつかやって来るだろう

The day of his atonement will come someday

やがて来るその時まで彼は

Until that time finally arrives

「父」でいようと決意した

He's decided to be a "father"
