Talk:But I Lied Once/@comment-75.25.144.240-20161105044830

Using Google translate for both English and Chinese, the japanese text is Tristan's final thought before he die.

そう、あれは黒い帆の木船だったのです.

So, it was a ship with black sail.

私のような、どうしようもない人間が救いを

求めることが間違いだったのです.

For me, without trying to save a human,

it was a mistake to seek. (Note: To seek Iseult, the lover. The story is that only Iseult, the lover, can save Tristan.)

だから、あれは黒い帆でした.

Thus, there is only a black sail.

―――思えば、私は人を傷つけるだけの存在だった.

--- I thought, if I am  only   exist to hurt others.

音で、弓で、言葉で、親しい者を、愛すべき者を、

誰も彼も傷つけ続けた.

Sound, bow, words, friend, lover

Anyone will continually be harmed.

故にこれは黒い帆なのです.

Therefore, there is only a black sail.

彼女の言葉は紛れもない真実なのです.

Her words were  the   unmistakably truth. (Note: Her refers to  Iseult,  the wife)

私に、白き帆の船を待つ資格はないのだから.

For me, I have no right waiting for a ship with white sail.

追伸

Postscript

どうか彼女を責めぬようお願いします.

私にとって、あれは黒い帆だったのです

If you ask why she is not to be blamed,

For me, there is only a black sail.

The title "But I Lied Once" refers to how Tristan never believe  Iseult, the lover, will come. When he sends his friend to find  Iseult, the lover, he is already expecting her not to come while anyone around him thinks he is waiting for her. That is his lie.
