Madou Kidou Heiki Nasshu [Magic Mobile Weapon Nasch]

rabu rabu airabyuu uruwashi no hito
mezase yo sutedi madou kihei nasshu
utsukushii runa ni shinobiyoru
hakai no ma no te o yurushi wa shinai zo
midori no veen o mamoru wa karen na ano kata
itsu ka kanau koi sono hi no tame ni
shuugyou shita zo kiza na eriito da nasshu 

	Love!  Love!  I love you, my sweet!
	Go for it!  Keep steady!  Magic weapon Nasch!
	I will not succumb to the evil hand of destruction
	creeping over our fair Lunar!
	*That* lovely young lady defends the lush city of Vheen,
	and I've studied for the sake of that day when I will realize
	the love I've yearned for for so long  -  I, the snobbish, elite Nasch!

ima koso kenzan hibiku kodama wa
dare de mo nai no da madou kihei nasshu
fuuun kyuutsuge yomigaeru
warumono-domo ni wa yousha wa shinai zo
ai suru hito o tasukeru kenage na kokorone
nakama o uragiri kizutsuketa kedo 
jitsu wa suki sa kekkou uchiki na nasshu

	Now, we descend; the echoes resounding about us
	are no one to be feared at all.  Magic weapon Nasch!
	Dark clouds loom on the horizon once more;
	I'll show those villains no mercy!
	Valiant at heart, I'll help my beloved!
	Betraying my comrades did hurt her,
	but, truth be told, I love her  -  I, the quite sheepish Nasch!

ike ike makeru na sora ni chikau yo
tobe tobe hakuryuu madou kihei nasshu
donna ni tegowai teki datte
jakuten mitsukete fui uchikuwasero 
hikyou mo zurui mo arya shinai 
make wa mitomenai
puraido dake nara hitoichibai da
gareon taose sandaaboruto da nasshu

	Go!  Go!  Never surrender!  I swear it to the heavens above!
	Fly!  Fly, White Dragon!  Magic weapon Nasch!
	No matter how tough the enemy is,
	find out their weak points and deal them an unexpected defeat!
	No more cowardice or deception for me;
	I won't accept defeat!
	After all, when it comes to pride alone, nobody can beat me!
	Vanquish Ghaleon!  I, the thunderbolt, Nasch!

Liner Notes from Lunar Songs 2:
Dai-chan [reference to Daisuke Sakaguchi, Nasch's Japanese seiyuu] is such a
cheerful person, and he always brightens up everybody wherever he goes.  He 
infused this song with with same energy.  Though the lyrics were created 
with the same good cheer, by the way, I'm quite pleased with them myself.  
When I thought up of the line "find out their weak points and deal them an
unexpected defeat!", I danced around like a lunatic, as if I were some sort 
of genius.

Translation Notes:

"Vheen" is the Japanese version of "Vane".

"Kenzan" in line 8 does NOT hold the vaguely-stated definition of "meeting"
or "seeing" listed in every single damn online and off-line Japanese-English
dicitonary out there, but instead is a basically archaic and rather pompous/
overdramatic synonym for "toujou", meaning "appearance"/"making an 
appearance" or the "enter" of a play script's "enter [character x], stage 
right".  It took a query to a couple native-Japanese posters on a Japanese-
language message board to clear up that (endlessly-frustrating) matter.

Also, "kenzan" is not given a verb, which leaves its status as declarative or
imperative up in the air.  "Ima koso" is often used with imperatives, and the
first and third stanzas of the song have imperatives at or near their 
beginnings, but "kenzan" is not a word that lends itself to the imperative 
tense, and so I think that the meaning would be made a bit clearer were that 
the case.

The subject of the comments in lines 12-14  -  I initially thought that the
"kenage na kokorone" of line 12 referred to the established subject/object
at hand, Nasch's "ai suru hito" (Mia), but I later discovered that "kenage" 
is an adjective that applies solely to males.  Terrific.
As for the other phrases in 12-14, however, though their subjects/objects
are not often explicitly defined, as Nasch is talking of his love for Mia 
throughout (and as the lines are bookended with definite S/O references to 
her), I have assumed that she is the person in question and have 
interpreted the lines as such.
