白夢の繭 ～Ricordando il passato～
志方あきこ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Che ti celi nel profondo dell'inganno,
Chi hai continuato ad aspettare nel bosco deserto?
Privato di un'ala,
L'uccellino ha chiuso gli occhi in silenzio .
La sofferenza è svanita lontano:
Ora l'uccellino non piange più .
Una morbida nebbia d'argento (bis)
Avvolge teneramente ogni cosa .
Riposa, riposa in pace .
Nel racconto che ho scritto, puoi volare in libertà .
Ecco il mio ultimo incantesimo,
Affinché la tua luce non conosca ombra .
Che lo splendido sogno dorato non venga infangato
Dalla tristezza apportata dalla verità.
La foresta della colpa
Che consumava l'uccellino,
Si è disseccata in silenzio .
Petali caduti al vento avvolgono
Con dolcezza le guance pallide .
Quel giorno, quanti misteri
Avrei dovuto risolvere per poterti portare via?
Riposa, riposa in pace
Nell'illusione che hai creato,
Ho conosciuto l'amore .
Non smetterò di pronunciare il tuo nome,
Per continuare a dare vita ai tuoi desideri .
Che niente e nessuno ti trascini
Nelle tenebre dell'oblio .
Riposa, riposa in pace,
Dolce amore ... In pace .
The song 白夢の繭 ～Ricordando il passato～ by 志方あきこ speaks about a fragile soul searching for peace and leaving behind a painful past. The first few lines talk about the ephemeral soul that is hidden deep in deception, asking who it has been waiting for in the deserted forest. The following lines describe a bird without a wing that has closed its eyes in silence, having left behind its suffering. The bird no longer cries, and everything is now being gently covered with a soft silver mist. The song encourages the soul to rest in peace and be free from darkness brought about by the truth.
The second verse speaks of a forest of guilt that consumed the bird but has dried up in silence. Petals are now hugging the bird's pale cheeks with tenderness, and many mysteries had to be solved to take the bird away. In the end, the song speaks of the illusion created by the bird, where love was known, and the author will continue saying the bird's name to keep its desires alive. Thus, the song speaks of finding comfort and solace despite being haunted by a difficult past.

Oh anima effimera
Oh fleeting soul
Che ti celi nel profondo dell'inganno,
That hides in the depths of deceit
Chi hai continuato ad aspettare nel bosco deserto?
Whom have you continued to wait for in this deserted forest?
Privato di un'ala,
Deprived of one wing

The little bird closed its eyes in silence
La sofferenza è svanita lontano:
The suffering has vanished far away
Ora l'uccellino non piange più .

Una morbida nebbia d'argento (bis)
A soft silver fog (repeat)
Avvolge teneramente ogni cosa .
Tenderly envelops everything
Riposa, riposa in pace .

In the tale I have written, you can fly freely
Ecco il mio ultimo incantesimo,
Here is my last enchantment

There was a time in my life when I couldn't listen to this song without sobbing uncontrolably. Without an unbearable ache spreading all across my chest, like my heart was about to burst. Yet, despite the pain it made me feel, it was and still is the most comforting, bewitching(lol) piece of music I know of.
I'm not sure how my life would've looked like if I didn't stumble upon When They Cry and Umineko specifically. My entire outlook on things has been moulded by the messages and themes of this visual novel. I'd go as far to say this series is the reason I'm still alive and breathing.
Thank you Umineko for giving me the strength to carry on and teaching me about love, a concept I've never truly understood for most of my life.
Thank you Beatrice and Battler for being the most wonderfully written characters in existence, whose timeless love story will never be left uncherished.
Thank you to this great community, which I'm not personally a part of per say, but that always brightens my day to day life, even if I'm only engaging with it from afar.
Thank you Ryukishi07 for weaving such a colossal masterpiece of a tale. Thank you so much for everything.
May no one disturb your eternal sleep, my beloved witch Beatrice ❤

Everything about this:
The video.
The images.
The song.
The lyrics.
It’s pure pain in the best way.
“I’ll never stop screaming your name.”
“Rest in peace, my sweet love…in peace.”
I dedicate this comment to OUR beloved witch, Beatrice.

Original video deleted...
I finished Umineko on something like 30/05/2021
One of the best pieces of fiction ever created. Even mentioning as masterpiece is not enough. There's literally nothing that you can compare with Umineko. Yeah, this is how much amazing it is.

In that pitch-black void where nothing could be seen, ...something sparkled. A warm, golden sparkle.
It was... the original video.
It floated down... into the void filled with many other deleted videos. Half buried among those videos... was a small box.
It was the original comment section's cat box, which rested in peace here in YouTube's abyss.
The original video drifted down to rest on top of it...
It was a story of the deep, deep depths of YouTube.
A small, almost trivial tale... of the dark and inky blackness...
Where rests a faintly glowing deleted video...

Oh, didn't know about this tradition. I simply came here to vibe.
Anyways
Even though I thought I'd seen it all, the story kept getting worse and worse, but we shall keep moving on. If that's something I learned, it's this. I can't put all of my thoughts in this comment but I will never stop thinking about this wonderful cat box. Riposate in pace.

I guess I do have time to read Tolstoy and the Bible after all

there’s something tragically poetic about all the original comments being erased, a decade of umineko fans giving their closing remarks on a series that for many of us changed our lives and is our favorite piece of fiction, all of it gone. just like the story of rokenjima the stories of all those people are now at the bottom of the ocean locked away in the catbox never to be seen again.
PS
"I dedicate this tale to my beloved witch, Beatrice" enough to make a grown man cry
Amicus Emperor
Idk why but istead of reading "beloved witch" i readed it as "beloved bitch" 💀

Reading both the visual novel and the manga, I've come to learn so much from this series. All the characters are so rich in emotion and detailing, if you can truly see them with love. Surely Sayo, Battler, and Ange will be resurrected in my heart forever.
Rest in peace, my beloved witch, Beatrice.
Awesome
