Глава III

Таинственная бездна – Богини нашей Дар.
Достичь его пытаясь, мы крылья обретем.
Не дав лишь пламенного сердца
Порыв поставить под удар,
Мы по волнам мечты,
Сквозь юности рассвет плывем.
Мы поплывем вперед
Пусть даже мир от нас весь отвернется.
Лишь горе ждет вас впереди
И рока длань вас неминуемо коснется.

Глава IV

Ничто препятствовать не будет возвращенью моему.
Пусть даже и день завтрашний ко мне не будет милосерден.

Окутан ты любовью Богини несравненной,
коль смеешь ненависть на мир таить, хоть и героем будучи.

Глава V

Настал твой час. Мечтаниям твоим, гордыне и коварству... конец пришел.
Богиней в твое сердце, роковая пущена стрела.

Месть твоя мне душу разрывает.
Мечта моя умрет со мной, не суждено ей было совершиться, лишь только смерть ее обернется отрадою твоей.

Глава VI

Мечта моя, моим же роком стала. Цена тому – гордыня.
Не плыть мне на волнах мечты, мой челн ко дну идет.

Ничто препятствовать не будет возвращенью моему.
Пусть даже и день завтрашний ко мне не будет милосерден.

Глава VII

Твоего вожделения предмет – Богини Дар взрастит младую жизнь.
Забыта не будет история твоя.
Ни жертва твоя, ни мира этого конец.
Подобно бризу легкому в волнах, твой подвиг будет жить – нежно, но незыблемо.

Глава IX, X

Конец этому миру положит схватка чудищ двух.
С небес падет Богиня, крылья свои – света и тьмы разверзнув.
Во врата рая введет она нас, своим бесценным Даром наградив.

Глава X

Свершилось. И жертва твоя и мира конец.
Подобно бризу легкому в волнах твой подвиг будет жить – нежно, но незыблемо.

Глава XI

Месть шрамом на душе моей лежит.
Сбылись наши мечты, да только смертью нашей обернулись.
Осталось лишь одно – для сна вечного ложе найти.

Когда конец придет чудовищам земным пыл свой унять в ужасной битве этой?

С небес сошла Богиня.
Врата, света полные, что к радости ведут, разверзлись перед ней.
И Дар ее уж тут.

Пусть даже нет надежды никакой, клянусь, что возвращусь к тебе, на место то, где ты стоишь сей час.
Надежд планеты умирающей толика, неба дальнего край, да воды могучей гладь – вот закрепляю чем сию я клятву.

полнее оригинальный вариант, с прологом, и правильно пронумерованный ~
я, на самом деле, перевожу ее, но пока не освоюсь с гекзаметром (а именно к этому мы и отнесли "нелюбимого"), у меня ничего не выйдет приличного =\

Большое спасибо за полную версию!

Что ж, как и обещала. Мой перевод.

Все упоминания Loveless в диалогах:

Впечатления Сида (Final Fantasy VII):

Cid: "You ever see the play "LOVELESS"?"

Cloud: "Yes"

Cid: "Yeah? Really? Well, that's fine.
They've been doin' that play every summer since I was a kid.
An' I remember seein' it just once...
That was when I was in Midgar interviewing to be a pilot.
I had some free time and thought I'd catch the play."
Now, I'm no big fan of the theater or anything.
But this thing put me to sleep, just like I thought it would.
Finally during the last scene, the guy next to me woke me up
tellin' me my snorin' was too loud.
So about all I really remember of that play is the end...
The sister of the lead asks her lover,
"Do you really have to leave?"
And the guy says,
"I promised. The people I love are waiting."
"......I don't understand. Not at all. But...... please take care of yourself."
"Of course... I'll come back to you. Even if you don't promise to wait.
I'll return knowing that you'll be here."
I remember thinking when I heard those lines,
"*&%! What the hell's he talkin' about?"
But, you know... now I'm
not so sure...
I think I understand......"

Впечатления Ходзё (Crisis Core):

Genesis: "My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess"

Hojo: "The entire cast of Hollander's freak show!"

Zack: "Shut up, you!"

Genesis: ""LOVELESS" Act IV."

Hojo: "Where the two friends challenge each other to a duel.
An ancient epic. I read it thinking it might aid my research,
but... pure drivel."

Angeal: "How does the duel end?"

Hojo: "Unknown. The last act is missing, and yet to be discovered."

Genesis: "There are various theories. The mysterious gift of the goddess...
What is the meaning behind it? For us, at least."

Zack: "Hold it, Genesis!"

Genesis: "My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber"

Впечатления Сефирота (Crisis Core):

Genesis: "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest"

Sephiroth: ""LOVELESS" Act I."

Genesis: "You remembered."

Sephiroth: "How can I not when you've beaten it into my head?"

...

Genesis: "There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds"

Sephiroth: ""LOVELESS" again? You never change."

Genesis: "Three friends go into battle. One is captured,
one flies away, the one that is left becomes a hero."

Sephiroth: "A common story."

Genesis: "If we were to enact it, would I be the one to play the hero,
or would you"

Sephiroth: "It's all yours."

Genesis: "Indeed. After all, your glory should have been mine."

Sephiroth: "How petty."

Genesis: "In hindsight, perhaps. Now, what I want most...
is the "gift of the goddess.""

...


Sephiroth: "What do you want of me?"

Genesis: "Your traits cannot be copied unto others.
Your genes can't be diffused. Therefore, your body cannot degrade.
Share your cells with me.

My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess"

[Genesis holds out a Banora White]

Sephiroth: "Whether your words are lies created to deceive me...
or the truth, that I have sought all my life...
it makes no difference."

[Knocks the apple out of Genesis's hand]

"You will rot."

Genesis: "I see...perfect monster, indeed.

When the war of the beasts bring about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss
...her gift everlasting."

Впечатления Зака (Crisis Core):

Genesis: "Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
Such is... the fate of a monster."

Zack: "We're not monsters, you hear me? We're SOLDIER!
Where's your honor?"

Genesis: "Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
If this world seeks my destruction... it goes with me."

Zack: "Genesis..."

...

Genesis: "Your cells will be my gift of the goddess...
The degradation will cease."

Zack: "You...are twisted."

Genesis: "The monster has been harvested, and can be discarded."

Zack: "You're the monster!"

Genesis: "Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely"

...

Genesis: "The gift of the goddess...
A pure S cell sample will stop the degradation process."

Zack: "Pure?"

Genesis: "There are...two of you, on the run.
One is a former SOLDIER operative. The other, an infantryman."

Hollander: "That infantryman carries within his body the last pure
S-cells in the world!"

Zack: "Hey!"

Genesis: "Do you know the verse in Act IV that leads in to the final act?"

Zack: "Of course not."

Genesis: "Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely"

Zack: "Enough about sacrifices and endings! I don't want to hear it!"

Genesis: "You don't understand the beauty of these words.
How tragic... I'm not surprised. Even I didn't understand all of it.
The greatest mystery behind the gift of the goddess...
"The water's surface." And the answer I have arrived at, is the Lifestream."

Zack: "What?"

Genesis: "There are various theories regarding the missing final act.
However, only my theory is correct. And I will prove it to you!"

Zack: "No, that won't be necessary!"

Genesis: "You will understand."

От Канселя:

Went to see LOVELESS

Genesis, K.I.A?
Yeah, right. Who do they think they're trying to fool?
Just got back from seeing the stage production of
LOVELESS in Midgar. Genesis was a big fan, wasn't he?
I usually don't care for classic drama, but it was pretty
damned good. The guy is the hero in the original, but
the play was more from the viewpoint of the girl who
helps the guy. When I heard that last line:
"Of course... I'll come back to you. Even if you don't
promise to wait. I'll return knowing that you'll be here."
Aw, man, that's when I lost it and just started bawling.

От Циссней:

When you come back

Are you in Nibelheim now?
I've got business in another freezing locale myself.
By the way, I couldn't help but notice that you were
reading LOVELESS while you were in Costa Del Sol.
That was Genesis's favorite work, wasn't it?
So have you finished it yet? I bet you got bored
of it in the middle and just tossed it away.
But there's a stage production of
LOVELESS now playing in Midgar. Let's go see it
when you get back. Who knows? It might just give
you the hint you're looking for.

Genesis Fan Club Newsletter 666

This issue is for the newcomers to Red Leather. As a welcome
gift, here is some basic information about Genesis.
Hobby: Reading. He happened upon a copy of LOVELESS
in his parents' study. It has been his favorite work
ever since.
Why he joined SOLDIER: The heroics of Sephiroth, who
is the same age as Genesis, inspired him to work for the
good of the world.
We will update you on any new information as it
becomes available.

От одного из фан-клубов Дженезиса Расподоса (Study Group):

An invitation to LOVELESS

LOVELESS on stage is as popular as ever.
This year's production retains the love story from
the female point of view, with the focus on
Acts II and III, as usual. This interpretation features
additional scenes of the two friends, making it
closer to the original text.
Acts II and III of LOVELESS have become famous
thanks to the plays, but pundits agree that the
story's true value lies in Act IV.
Could this year's production make up for it?
Join us at the theatre as we decide for ourselves.



Declaration

The reason Genesis adored LOVELESS so much? He
claimed it provided answers to do many of the
mysteries in our world regarding history, science,
art, and astronomy.
But experts agree that the answer to the biggest
mystery was in the final act, which was scattered
and lost--and thus is worthy of further study.
Our dear Genesis also devoted his life to interpreting
the missing final act. As a devoted study group,
let's inherit his life's work in his memory!



Message to members

We have managed to compile Genesis's theories
on LOVELESS's final act into a single volume.
We are going to publish this book ourselves,
and decided that the book will be the basic
text for our future studies.
Participants in the LOVELESS study group are
required to purchase a copy.



Mystery of the final act

Our self-published book on Genesis's LOVELESS
theories have become a runaway bestseller.
Let's use this momentum to move forward in
our studies of the final act.
The biggest mystery of the final act is
what happens to the world after the "gift
of the goddess" is given.
The key to understanding this is in how we
interpret "the goddess" in this context, but
experts still cannot come to a consensus.



Thoughts on "the gift of the goddess"

The "gift of the goddess," the source of life, is said
to bring immortality. The most widely accepted theory
equates the gift of the goddess to the Banora White.
There is, however, another theory which advocates that
it is the planet, not any human, that becomes immortal.
This suggests two other interpretations of the gift.
One is an all-consuming destruction;
the other is an all-healing salvation.
Genesis believed in the latter, predicting some sort
of salvation from the gift of the goddess.



Our upcoming secret event!

Fellow Genesis fan club members:
Our annual memorial event is coming soon!
Of course, with all the witness accounts that keep
pouring in, it won't be so much a memorial for Genesis
as a gathering to wish his full-fledged return.
As for our always popular goods for sale,
this year we have prepared copies of
LOVELESS bound in custom leather.
We look forward to your attendance, and
don't forget to buy your special LOVELESS!
