Original / Romaji Lyrics | English Translation |
---|---|
chishiki GUNOOSHISU, chichuu no sei GUNOOMU o gogen to suru watashi hidokei GUNOMOON | From the same root as "gnosis," knowledge, and "gnome," a subterranean spirit I am the gnomon of the sundial |
SAMOSU ARISUTARUKOSU enban KUNIDOSU EUDOKUSOSU kumo SHURAKUSAI SUKOPUSU chuukyaku AMISOSU DIONYUSHIODOROSU ensui | Samos, Aristarchus, disc Cnidus, Eudoxus, spider Syracuse, Scopus, pillar base Amisos, Dionysodorus, cone[1] |
kage o mochiite nijuumentai shitaiyoukei hakaru chie watashi hidokei GUNOMOON hikari no souzou ryoku to shite gensou raisan kage * toki no | An icosahedron making use of the shadows With the wisdom to measure apparent solar time I am the gnomon of the sundial Making the imagination of light my strength An illusory worship of shadows and time |
ten no nankyoku kage shimesu hari | At the south pole of the heavens, a clock hand pointing to shadow |
shitaiyou hi shitaiyou tsuki shitaiyou nen | Apparent solar day Apparent solar month Apparent solar year |
sekidoushiki hidokei (HIJURA) suichokushiki hidokei (GUNOOMON) keitai hidokei (DIPPUTIKKU) | Equatorial bow sundial (Hijri) Vertical sundial (gnomon) Portable sundial (diptych) |
kisetsu no utsuri kawari no chishiki shizen no RIZUMU renkinjutsushi toki no nagare chie no gensen | Knowledge of the changing of the seasons An alchemist of the rhythms of nature The flow of time; the fountain of wisdom |
[1] Each of these lines lists, in reverse order, a form of sundial, the (supposed or probable) inventor of that form, and the location where that person lived. I couldn't find anything at all about Scopus, but here are the rest on Wikipedia:
Berossus
Aristarchus
Eudoxus
Dionysodorus
