These are the cards found with the Japanese release of the TV DVD Box Set. On the back of each card is a poem. I translated these when I first got the box set so the translations may not be very accurate. One of these days I will go back and double check them...
Dancing Girl --- Kayura
Holding the distraught gold eyed black cat,
Go, fly in the blustering autumn wind.
Without anything to keep the chilled body warm
Only the dry cutting wind makes a noise
And scatters the sand.
Time's dance
Time's sword
In the desert called oblivion
Walking alone, the hearts in pain.
Sleeve of the coating of dream color
Deeply covered by flowery snow
Following someone's back
Then I always awake
The call of the blade
The call of Death
In the wasteland of oblivion
Alone, one looks back and cries from their heart.
Diabolic Elegy
The person carried away in a previous life
If your ego returns, you are useless warriors
That previous time I saw you too
Who do you know, you are a useless warrior
The crimson face is a devils face
The dark shadow is the ice's blade
That phantom bears malice
The insulting smile smells of death
Only now the blood from within falls
The demon is the enchanted warrior
Tears of Reason ----- Rekka
Tears of reason I don't know who you are
The hot flame illuminates the darkness
Only now I notice you
Tomorrow when people are lost
It's because that long emptiness is created
This place glows white hot
Only now with these tears I notice you
Only now with these thoughts I notice you
The Path of the White Blade ---- Korin
The evening twilight
Bright like a twinkling blue star
Where ever it goes
There is a clear stream of light
On the polished prim blade
Now go and run away
So, with a swing of the sword
A ripple of life flows away
Towards the path of light
Guiding the continued life of an important person
On that, fix one's gaze on that bright moment
Look straight to the known future
Look only into the light
To continue to search
Because the magnificent tomorrow won't be different.
The Roar of the Sea ----- Suiko
Graceful wave
Graceful wind
Sometimes, like in a slumbering dream I saw you gently coming and going
This gentle place, a place of flickering silence
Ahh,
Slowly, continuing endlessly
Increasingly fair
This chest, delivering slow sparkling time
This chest, your slow quiet whisper
Graceful waves
Graceful wind
Ahh,
The flow of eternal time
Close lovers
This hair
Slow your hot words
These eyes
Show me the joyous tears.
Wisdom of the Sky----Tenku
From a heavenly opinion
Wearing a cold smile was looked down upon
The time the others transcended
What do you see?
What do you see?
He who jests funnily goes made dancing
The wild beasts bright tusks look for blood
Are you laughing at that?
Are you laughing at that?
No, there's no understanding you
Clowns dancing a funeral dance
The beasts' tusks have run the blood out, it's a useless corps
Gatherers of the heavenly idea
What do I know
You are pitied the most
Remembering---- Kongo
When I was a child I had a dream
Eating the worlds biggest cake
Running faster than anyone else
Playing with the neighbors German Shepard which you liked
Growing up, then, everybody says that. It reminds you of your childhood
When I was a child I always cried
The rainy day the picked up kitten was abandoned
The night my prized model broke
Inside the park, how I was unvictorious in a fight
I became big and everyone laughed
It was disgraceful
I'm still dreaming
I'm still pitiful
So, I fight
Armored Warriors
Long ago in a time of legends
Our lives were being sung.
The song of our five souls
Through time, Across the sea, Over the mountain
Here that song gathered
Now we sing
Along the road continued from the horizon
is a new journey, and with a push in the back
the five lives walk together
on this endless journey And before we speak
one more time we face each other
Through time, Across the sea, Over the mountain
Here we meet this fate
and now our eyes meet.
