証言 Translation

証言によるとヴェネツィアで　その夫人と接触した後

華々しく社交界に現われ　パリを魅了した

Shougen ni yoru to Venetsia de Sono fujin to sesshoku shita nochi

Hanabanashiku shakoukai ni araware Pari wo miryou shita

According to testimony, after that madame was brought into contact in Venice,

She appeared in the dazzling high society and mesmerized Paris.

半世紀が経ち　夫人が目撃した若者は

全く歳をとらないあの日の伯爵

いつまでもあなたは変わらない

人々が語り継いで行くから

記憶の中　彼女はあなたを

愛してた　信じてた　殺した

Hanseiki ga tachi Fujin ga mokugeki shita wakamono ha

Mattaku toshi wo toranai ano hi no hakushaku

Itsu made mo anata ha kawaranai

Hitobito ga kataritsuide yuku kara

Kioku no naka Kanojo ha anata wo

Ai shiteta Shinjiteta Koroshita

50 years passed, and one day the young count witnessed

That she had not aged at all.

You will never change

Because the people have passed it on to you.

In your memories, 

She loved you. She believed you. She killed you.

ただ一つだけ判ったのは

不老不死と言われている事

彼は現在もどこかで笑ってる

カラスムギだけを口にして

Tada hitotsu dake wakatta no ha

Furoufushi to iwareteiru koto

Kare ha ima¹ mo doko ka de waratteru

Garasumugi dake wo kuchi ni shite

The only thing I understand is

The thing called Eternal Youth.

Even now, he who is only referred to as Wild Oats²

Is smiling somewhere.

誰がそれを証明できるのか?

人の愛　何が実態なのか?

瞳の中　映らないけれど

溢れてる　その涙が真実

Dare ga sore wo shougen dekiru no ka?

Hito no ai Nani ga jittai na no ka?

Hitomi no naka Utsuranai keredo

Afureteru Sono namida ga shinjitsu

Can someone provide evidence of that?

What is the reality of human love?

Nothing is reflected in those eyes, but

The tears of truth are overflowing.

Notes

1. "Genzai" ("now, present time") is written, but Kamijo sings "ima" ("now").

2. In the traditional European language of flowers, "oats" meant "music/the witching soul of music". In Hanakotoba, the Japanese version

of floriography, "garasumugi (wild oat)" can also mean "lover's melody".
