- "At this sea there’s a secret tradition from long ago"
- ―Rin[src]
Regret Message is a song released by Akuno-P on May 25, 2008. It is the third song in The Daughter of Evil Series, following after the events of The Servant of Evil.
Plot[]
The song starts in a harbor outside a town where Rin stands alone. She recalls a legend that Allen once told her that states that if she writes a wish, puts it inside a bottle and throws it out to sea, her wish will come true. As such, Riliane writes down a wish in a bottle and sets it out herself. Recalling on her past, she regrets her actions as she realizes how selfish she was and how Allen would follow her every command, even when it caused him pain. She hopes the ocean will express her gratitude. She writes her wish with the words, "if I could be reborn..." but the rest of her wish is omitted.
Lyrics[]
町はずれの小さな港
一人たたずむ少女
この海に昔からある
ひそかな言い伝え
「願いを書いた羊皮紙を」
「小瓶に入れて」
「海に流せばいつの日か」
「想いは実るでしょう」
流れていく ガラスの小瓶
願いを込めたメッセージ
水平線の彼方に
静かに消えてく
君はいつも私のために
なんでもしてくれたのに
私はいつもわがままばかり
君を困らせてた
願いをかなえてくれる君
もういないから
この海に私の想い
届けてもらうの
流れて行く 小さな願
涙と少しのリグレット
罪に気づくのはいつも
全て終わった後
流れていく ガラスの小瓶
願いを込めたメッセージ
水平線の彼方に
静かに消えてく
流れて行く 小さな願い
涙と少しのリグレット
「もしも生まれ変われるならば」
Machi hazure no chiisana minato
Hitori tatazumu shoujo
Kono umi ni mukashi kara aru
Hisokana ii tsutae
"Negai wo kaita youhishi wo"
"Kobin ni irete"
"Umi ni nagaseba itsu no hika"
"Omoi wa minoru deshou"
Nagarete iku GARASU no kobin
Negai wo kometa MESSEEJI
Suiheisen no kanata ni
Shizuka ni kieteku
Kimi wa itsumo watashi no tame ni
Nandemo shite kureta no ni
Watashi wa itsumo wagamama bakari
Kimi wo komaraseteta
Negai wo kanaete kureru kimi
Mou inai kara
Kono umi ni watashi no omoi
Todokete morau no
Nagarete iku chiisana negai
Namida to sukoshi no RIGURETTO
Tsumi ni kizuku no wa itsumo
Subete owatta ato
Nagarete iku GARASU no kobin
Negai wo kometa MESSEEJI
Suiheisen no kanata ni
Shizuka ni kieteku
Nagarete iku chiisana negai
Namida to sukoshi no RIGURETTO
"Moshimo umarekawareru naraba"
At a small harbor on the outskirts of town
Is a girl standing alone
At this sea there’s a
Secret tradition from long ago
“Put in a small bottle
Your wish written on parchment
If it’s set adrift in the sea, one of these days
“Your wish might bear fruit”
It floats away, a small glass bottle
A message with a wish put in
Beyond the horizon
It silently disappears
Although you always
Did everything for me
I was always nothing but selfish
And inconvenienced you
You who granted my wishes for me
Are already gone
So I will deliver my feelings
To this sea
It floats away, a small wish
With tears and a little regret
The realization of my sin was always
After everything was over
It floats away, a small glass bottle
A message with a wish put in
Beyond the horizon
It silently disappears
It floats away, a small wish
With tears and a little regret
"If only we could be reborn…"

私は罪を犯しました
君は「笑っていて」と私に言った
だけど私は笑えない
きっと返事が来ることはないのだろう
それでも私は待ち続ける
そして今夜も私は願いを胸に
星に 手を伸ばす
I have sinned
You told me to "keep on smiling"
But I can’t smile
I’m sure that the reply will never come
Even so I will keep waiting
And so tonight as well I, with a wish in my heart,
Reach for the stars
