GABRIEL ON THE GALLOWS Translation

A translation of the GazettE’s “GABRIEL ON THE GALLOWS” from their studio album “DIVISION”. This song speaks to someone who has has gone mad from drugs and now hallucinates that perhaps they are a saving angel (a “Gabriel”). They scream acatalepsy (the philosophy that the knowledge available to humans is only probable – yes, it is a real word!), perhaps because due to hallucination, they can’t know anything for certain.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company/Sony Music Japan.

Babe babe…
Where do you go to?
With such a haggard face
[I want to escape from this pain…]
-live or die-
Answer is bullshit
Half-killing a snake

 

That screech
What do you want to convey?
acatalepsy

 

Under the red sun
I ask you it once again
[I came to look for heaven such as the hell…]
I had a bad dream
Very cruel beautifully

 

Babe babe…
Where do you go to?
With such a haggard face
[I want to escape from this pain…]
-live or die-
Answer is bullshit
Half-killing a snake

 

That screech
What do you want to convey?
acatalepsy

 

A hallucination takes you
To the eden where nobody is...
The fake fear left you
The girl who plays with a white rope
Marionette on the gallows

 

Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
堕落してゆく
羽がもげた君
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Daraku shiteyuku
Hane ga mogeta kimi
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Your corrupt
Wings will be torn off
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die

 

That screech
What do you want to convey?
acatalepsy

 

A hallucination takes you
To the eden where nobody is...
The fake fear left you
The girl who plays with a white rope
Marionette on the gallows

 

Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
堕落してゆく
笑みを零し
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Daraku shiteyuku
Warami wo koboshi
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Spilling out
Depraved smiles

 

Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
堕落してゆく
羽がもげた君
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Daraku shiteyuku
Hane ga mogeta kimi
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die
Dance until you die
Waltz of the fatal dose
Like a gabriel
Your corrupt
Wings will be torn off
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You need it
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You grieve
Gallows...Under the blue sky
You cannot die
