Trivia

Wowaka, who composed the lyrics and made the arrangements for the song, posted a couple tweets relevant to it.

そんな訳で魔法少女まどか☆マギカBlu-ray&DVD第5巻に収録・第9話「そんなの、あたしが許さない」のEDは美樹さやか [喜多村英梨]・佐倉杏子 [野中藍] が歌うTV未放送の楽曲となり、完全生産限定版の特典CDには同曲のFull ver.とインストが収録されます。とのこと。Source So yes, the ending song for the Blu-ray and DVD Volume 5 version of Episode 9 "That, I Cannot Allow" will be a song never before broadcast, sung by Sayaka Miki (Eri Kitamura-san) and Kyoko Sakura (Ai Nonaka-san). There will also be a limited edition CD being released simultaenously with the full version and the instrumental. So yeah. I composed, wrote lyrics for, and arranged the ninth original ending song "and I'm home" for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica Blu-ray and DVD Volume 5, being released 8/24. Vocals: Sayaka Miki (Eri Kitamura-san) and Kyoko Sakura (Ai Nonaka-san).

喜多村さんも野中さんもとても気さく、かつ丁寧で謙虚な方で歌録りも適度な緊張感のもとスムーズに行えました。すごいいい曲になったんでぜひ聴いてもらえたらと思いますー。Source Kitamura-san and Nonaka-san were very good-natured. Thanks to their politeness and kindness, the recording went smoothly despite a bit of tension. And I think it turned out to be a really good song, so you should listen to it.

Lyrics in Japanese and English

Original Romanization English Translation

錆びついた心、 音もない世界、何を見てるの?

またねを言える顔を探すよ

それを繰り返すだけ



Sabitsuita kokoro, otomonai sekai, nani o miteruno?

Matane o ieru kao o sagasuyo

sore o kurikaesu dake



(Kyoko) With two hearts rusting together, in a world without sound; what do you see?

I'm searching for the face who will say "see you again,"

I'll just be doing it over and over again.



気付けばそこには ひとりきりで泣く後ろ姿

辛いような、

寂しいような、場所。



Kizukeba soko ni wa hitorikiri de naku ushiro sugata

Tsurai youna,

sabishii youna, basho.

(Sayaka) If you would only notice that right there; was a figure from behind crying all on its own.

(Kyoko) It was a rough place,

(Sayaka) and a lonely one, 手を繋いでいたいんだ

Te o tsunaide itainda

(Duet) but we joined our hands.

何度目の気持ちだろう

ここにある温もりは

間違いでも構わない、傍にいること

涙の音、ため息の色

今、確かめる現在地

Nandome no kimochi darou

koko ni aru nukumori wa

Machigai demo kamawanai, soba ni iru koto

Namida no oto, tameiki no iro

ima, tashikameru genzaichi

(Duet) No matter how many times you feel that way,

there will always be warmth here.

Even if it was a mistake, I don't care, I'll always be by your side.

With the sound of tears and the colors of a sigh,

I'm sure this is where we are now.

冗談みたいな毎日

見たい、見たい、未来

Joudan mitai na mainichi

mitai, mitai, mirai

(Duet) A jestful everyday life;

I want to see it, I want to see it, that future.



強がりの声も掠れたな、 と 夢に落ちるの

抱えた膝、目を落とすと

すぐに崩れてしまいそうで



Tsuyogari no koe mo kasureta na, to yume ni ochiru no

Kakaeta hiza, me o otosu to

sugu ni kuzurete shimai soude



(Sayaka) When the bluff of false courage in my voice began to falter, the dream began to end

Holding my knees,

when my vision fades, I know I'll quickly collapse.



このまま、このまま ふたりきり駆け込む遠い出口、

まだ、期待しているの。

さあ 笑って見つめ合うんだ。



Konomama, konomama futarikiri kakekomu tooi deguchi,

mada, kitai shite iru no.

Saa waratte mitsume aunda.

(Kyoko) If it stays like this, if it stays like this the two of us will have to rush to the only furthest exit.

(Sayaka) Even now I still have hope.

(Duet) Now, let's smile and gaze at each other.

単純で無邪気な顔、

くしゃくしゃの思い抱いて

迷い込んだ場所さえ優しすぎて

Tanjun de mujaki na kao,

kushakusha no omoi daite

mayoikonda basho sae yasashi sugite

(Duet) With a simple and innocent face,

let's embrace our disheveled feelings.

Even this place where we've lost ourselves feels so gentle.

何度でも名前を呼ぶよ

不確かな未来でも

離せないもの、思うだけ心が痛いよ

ここにいるよ

ここにいるよ

帰る場所はここだよ?

Nando demo namae o yobu yo

Futashika na mirai demo

hanasenai mono, omou dake kokoro ga itai yo

Koko ni iru yo

Koko ni iru yo

Kaeru basho wa koko da yo?

(Duet) I'll keep calling your name no matter how many times,

even if the future is uncertain.

It's hard to say goodbye, it hurts every time I think of you.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

Please come back and be with me.

いつだって変わらない

思いを残すの。

Itsudatte kawaranai

omoi o nokosu no. (Duet) It won't ever change;

these emotions which have been left behind.



Lyrics in Other Languages

Original Russian Translation Danish Translation Portuguese Translation Chinese Translation French Translation

錆びついた心、 音もない世界、何を見てるの?

またねを言える顔を探すよ

それを繰り返すだけ



(Кёко)В мире тишины, Где слились в такт сердца, Нет никого,

Кто б прошептал: "Увидимся ещё"...

Но средь прибоя времени искать я буду вновь и вновь.



(Kyouko) Med to hjerter der ruster sammen, I en verden uden lyd, hvad ser du så?

Jeg leder efter ansigtet der vil sige "vi ses igen"

Jeg gør det bare om og om igen.



(Kyoko) Com dois corações ligados juntos, em um mundo sem som, o que você vê?

Eu estou procurando o rosto que vai dizer "Te verei de novo",

Eu continuarei fazendo isso várias e várias vezes.



(杏子) 锈迹斑斑的心灵,寂静无比的世界, 你到底看见了什么？

寻找着能将再见说出口的表情,

只是不断将此重复罢了



(Kyouko) Avec ces deux coeurs battant à l'unisson, dans un monde dénué de sons; que vois-tu?

Je recherche ce visage qui me dira "on se reverra"

Je continuerai à chercher encore et encore.



気付けばそこには ひとりきりで泣く後ろ姿

辛いような、

寂しいような、場所。



(Саяка) Ах, если б ты заметила мятежную душонку, Что скрылась за спиной, рыдая во весь голос...

(Кёко) Как жесток сей мир.

(Саяка) И одинок.

(Sayaka) Hvis du bare ville se at der lige der var en figur med ryggen til, der græd helt for sig selv

(Kyouko) Det er et råt sted.

(Sayaka) Og et ensomt et.

(Sayaka) Se você puder apenas perceber que ali; era uma figura que por trás chorava sozinha.

(Kyoko) Era um lugar áspero,

(Sayaka) e também solitário,

(沙耶加) 回神之时伫立于此, 只剩下孤单哭泣的背影

(杏子)在这个好似艰辛,

(沙耶加)又好似寂寞的地方,

(Sayaka) Si seulement tu avais voulu remarquer qu'ici; il y avait un visage qui pleurait à chaudes larmes.

(Kyouko) Cet endroit était rude.

(Sayaka) et il était également vide. 手を繋いでいたいんだ

(Дуэт) Давай же руки мы сплетем.

(Duet) Men vi samlede vores hænder.

(Duet) Mas nos unimos nossas mãos.

(合) 我想与你一同牵手走下去

(Duet) Mais nous avons joint nos mains.

何度目の気持ちだろう

ここにある温もりは

間違いでも構わない、傍にいること

涙の音、ため息の色

今、確かめる現在地

(Дуэт) Забудь о бремени мучений,

Ведь здесь всегда найдешь тепло.

И если это был лишь сон - мне всё равно.

Впредь буду я с тобой,

Слезою по щеке, и вздохом, взглядом,

Останемся мы вместе навсегда.

(Duet) Ligemeget hvor mange gange du har det sådan,

vil der altid være varme her.

Selvom det var en fejl, så er jeg ligeglad, jeg vil altid være ved din side.

Med lyden af tårer og udseendet af et suk,

Jeg er sikker på at det er her vi er nu.

(Duet) Não importa quantas vezes você se sinta assim, haverá sempre calor aqui.

Mesmo que isso tenha sido um erro, eu não me importo, eu sempre vou estar ao seu lado.

Com o som de lágrimas e olhares suspirantes,

Tenho certeza que isso é onde estamos agora.

(合)这到底是第几回的心情了呢, 而存在于此的温暖

就算是误会也无妨 只要彼此相伴

眼泪的音色 叹息的色彩

现在 确认于此的现居地

(Duet) Malgré le nombre de fois ou tu te sentais mal,

ça sera toujours chalereux ici.

Même si c'était une erreur, peu importe, je serai toujours à tes côtés.

Avec les larmes qui ruissellent et les soupirs,

Nous allons rester ensemble pour toujours.

冗談みたいな毎日

見たい、見たい、未来

(Дуэт) Весёлые, цветные дни.

Как же хочу, хочу увидеть я, Сей рай.

(Duet) Et vittigt hverdagsliv;

Jeg vil se den, jeg vil se den, den fremtid.

(Duet) Uma vida de brincadeiras todos os dias;

Eu quero ver, eu quero vê-lo, esse futuro.

(合)仿若玩笑般的每一天,

好想要预见的 好想要预见 那未来

(Duet) Une vie quotidiene dans la joie;

Je veux y croire, je veux y croire, à ce futur.



強がりの声も掠れたな、 と 夢に落ちるの

抱えた膝、目を落とすと

すぐに崩れてしまいそうで



(Саяка) Лживая, немая храбрость разбилась о мою мечту. И вот уже дрожат колени,

И свет померк -

Вновь упаду.



(Sayaka) Da det falske mods bluf i min stemme begyndte at vakle, begyndte drømmen at slutte.

Jeg holder mine knæ, når mit syn falmer, ved jeg at jeg vil kollapse hurtigt.



(Sayaka) Quando o blefe de falsa coragem na minha voz começou a falhar, o sonho começou a acabar

Segurando meus joelhos, quando falha minha visão, eu sei que logo irei desabar.



(沙耶加)逞强的声音也终究声嘶力竭, 堕落于梦境之中

一旦抱紧双膝，闭上双眼，仿佛立刻就要崩坏一般



(Sayaka) Lorsque le courage factice que je m'efforcais à exprimer s'est essouflé, le rêve à commencé à prendre fin

Me recroquevillant, quand ma vision s'efface, en sachant que je m'effondrerai rapidement.



このまま、このまま ふたりきり駆け込む遠い出口、

まだ、期待しているの。

さあ 笑って見つめ合うんだ。



(Кёко) Коль такова судьба, коль такова судьба, Искать возьмёмся мы один исход.

(Саяка) Но если так, надежду не покину.

(Дуэт) Давай же встретимся глазами, улыбаясь.



(Kyouko) Hvis det forbliver sådan her, hvis det forbliver sådan her, Vil vi to være nødt til at skynde os mod den fjerneste udgang.

(Sayaka) Selv nu har jeg stadig håb.

(Duet) Lige nu, lad os smile og stirre på hindanden.



(Kyoko) Se permanecer assim, se ela permaneça assim nós duas teremos que correr para a única saída mais distante.

(Sayaka) Mesmo agora eu ainda tenho esperança.

(Duet) Agora, vamos sorrir e nos olharmos.



(杏子)就像这样 就像这样, 你我两人跑向遥远的出口

(沙耶加) 还抱有着希望呢 ,

(合)来吧 相视而笑吧



(Kyouko) Si je reste tel quel, si je reste tel quel, Nous nous précipiterions seulement vers la fin aussi loin soit elle.

(Sayaka) Mais même maintemant j'ai encore de l'espoir.

(Duet) Alors, sourions tout en se regardant l'une l'autre.

単純で無邪気な顔、

くしゃくしゃの思い抱いて

迷い込んだ場所さえ優しすぎて

(Дуэт) Со светлым и невинным взглядом,

Укроем наши растрепанные чувства.

В чертоге, где нашли судьбу, утративши себя.

(Duet) Med et simpelt og uskyldigt ansigt,

Lad os omfagne vores sjuskede følelser.

Selv dette sted hvor vi mistede os selv føles så blidt.

(Duet) Com uma cara simples e inocente,

Vamos abraçar nossos sentimentos descabelados.

Mesmo este lugar onde nós perdemos a nós mesmas é tão gentil.

(合)单纯天真的脸庞,

拥抱着混乱不堪的思念

就连迷路的地点 都无比温柔

(Duet) Avec des visages simples chargés d'innocence,

Embrassons nos sentiments effrénés.

Même cet endroit désolé ou nous sommes parait si doux.

何度でも名前を呼ぶよ

不確かな未来でも

離せないもの、思うだけ心が痛いよ

ここにいるよ

ここにいるよ

帰る場所はここだよ?

(Дуэт) Не прекращу взывать к тебе, кусая губы в кровь,

раз грядущее несёт одну лишь боль.

Твой образ гложет мою душу, И слышится жестокое "Прощай".

Останусь здесь,

Останусь здесь.

Прошу, вернись, побудь со мной!

(Duet) Jeg vil blive ved med at kalde dit navn ligemeget hvor mange gange, selvom fremtiden er usikker.

Det er hårdt at sige farvel, det gør ondt hver gang jeg tænker på dig.

Jeg er lige her,

Jeg er lige her.

Kom tilbage og vær sammen med mig!

(Duet) Eu vou continuar chamando seu nome, não importa quantas vezes,

mesmo se o futuro é incerto.

É difícil dizer adeus, dói cada vez que penso em você.

Eu estou bem aqui,

Eu estou bem aqui.

Por favor volte e fique comigo!

(合) 无论几次都会呼喊你的名字,

就算面对不可确定的未来

只要想起那些不愿放手的东西就会心痛

我就在这里哦

我就在这里哦

你的归所不是就在就在这里哟?

(Duet) Je continuerai à crier ton nom sans cesse.

Même si le futur est incertain, il est difficile de te dire adieu car je souffre en pensant toujours à toi.

Je suis là,

Je suis là.

Je t'en prie, reviens et reste à tout jamais avec moi!

いつだって変わらない

思いを残すの。

(Дуэт) Ведь неумолимы чувства те,

что брошены во тьму.

(Duet) Det forandrer sig aldrig,

Disse følelser der er blevet efterladt.

(Duet) Nunca vão mudar;

essas emoções que foram deixados para trás.

(合)无论何时都不会改变,

留下永恒的思念.

(Duet) Elles ne changeront pas,

ces émotions qu'on a laissé derrière notre passage.
