床の上にばらまかれた絵を眺める
あの頃に少しも変わらない君が微笑む
流れてくる歌声に溺れながら
今も少しも変われない僕がたたずむ
Yuka no ue ni baramakareta e wo nagameru
Ano koro ni sukoshi mo kawaranai kimi ga hohoemu
Nagaretekuru utagoe ni oborenagara
Ima mo sukoshi mo kawaranai boku ga tadazumu
Gazing at the pictures strewn on the ground,
You, who haven't changed a single bit since that time, are smiling.
While drowning in your flowing, singing voice,
Now, I, who haven't changed a bit either, stand still for awhile.

 

空が青くなく 夜が黒くなく 赤の鼓動が止めば
君を忘れることが出来るのに
Sora ga aokunaku Yoru ga kurokunaku Aka no kodou ga yameba
Kimi wo wasureru koto ga dekiru no ni
The sky is not blue. The night is not black. If the red palpitations will stop,
I could maybe forget you.

 

seraph serenade
何処へ往くの? 連れて行って 独りになれない
迎えに来た君の手をとる
seraph serenade
Doko he yuku no? Tsureteitte Hitori ni narenai
Mukae ni kita kimi no te wo toru
seraph serenade
Where are you going? Take me with you so that I won't be alone.
You turn to me, and I take your hand.

 

この瞬間で幕を閉じる運命を 永遠に光る輝きの中 感謝する
Kono shunkan de maku wo tojiru unmei wo Eien ni hikaru kagayaki no naka Kansha suru
In this moment, the fate closes the curtains. In the brilliance shining in eternity, I'm grateful.

 

胸に残る体温 天使と舞う姿
Mune ni nokoru taion Tenshi to mau sugata
The body heat left in my chest dances with an angel.

 

銀色の翼が今 永い悪魔を越えて 君を待つ僕のもとへ
思い通りにして さぁ殺しておくれ 僕を待つ君の腕で
再会の今を抱き締めるこの僕を さぁ殺しておくれ…
Giniro no hane¹ ga ima Nagai akuma wo koete Kimi wo matsu boku no moto he
Omoidoori ni shite Saa koroshiteokure Boku wo matsu kimi no ude de
Saikai no ima wo dakishimeru kono boku wo Saa koroshiteokure...
Now, with silver-coloured wings, you pass the eternal demons and come to me
who waits for you.
If it pleases you, now, kill me with your waiting arms.
Now, embracing me in our reunion, please, kill me...

Notes
1. “Tsubasa” (“wings”) is written, but Tetsu sings “hane” (“wings”).

二人戸惑い 彷徨いながら 歩き続けてる
鐘の音と 静寂だけが 追いかけて来る
Futari tomadoi Samayoinagara Arukitsuzuketeru
Kane no oto to Seijaku dake ga Oikaketekuru
The two of us are continuing to walk, confused, wandering,
Pursuing the bell-sounds and the silence.

 

突然一筋の奇跡色の閃光 包まれる様に吸い込まれていく
そこは無色の理由もない空間
今だけの為にある 君だけ在れば全て無限
Totsuzen hitosuji no kisekiiro no senkou Tsutsumareru you ni suikomareteiku
Soko ha mushoku no wake¹ mo nai kuukan
Ima dake no tame ni aru Kimi dake areba subete mugen
I drink up the sudden flash of miracle-coloured light that seems to envelop me.
In that place is an empty space with no colour or reason.
Just for now, if you alone are here, everything is infinite.

 

same guilt same crime
makin' me dance around for killing time
ときめきに操られ
same guilt same crime
makin' me dance around for killing time
Tokimeki ni ayatsurare
same guilt same crime
makin' me dance around for killing time
Controlled by my pulse.

 

centenly
瞳閉じて指先と舌で 盲目の愛
いつかきっと 愛しあう言葉 途切れ途切れ
centenly
Me tojite yubisaki to shita de Moumoku no ai
Itsuka kitto Aishiau kotoba togiretogire
centenly
Close your eyes. Blind love is on your fingertips and tongue.
Someday, surely, the words of mutual love will break.

 

sometime somewhere
once again kiss around for our ties
ときめきに身を任せ
sometime sometime
once again kiss around for our ties
Tokimeki ni mi wo makase
sometime somewhere
once again kiss around for our ties
Give your body to the palpitations.

狂っちゃいない 正常まともさ そろそろ
死んだフリは やめてよ
狂ってるのは お前達の方さ
ささやかな愛を あげただけ
Kurucchainai Seijou matomo sa Sorosoro
Shinda furi ha yamete yo
Kurutteru no ha Omaera no you sa
Sasayaka na ai wo Ageta dake
I'm not mad. I'm just plain normal. It's time.
Stop pretending to be dead.
You're the ones that are mad!
Just give me a meagre love!

 

声を聞かせて 微笑みかけて
優しく そう いつもの様に
震える頬を そっと なでておくれ
優しく そう いつもの様に
Koe wo kikasete Hohoemi kakete
Yasashiku Sou Itsumo no you ni
Furueru hoho wo Sotto Nadete okure
Yasashiku Sou Itsumo no you ni
Let me hear your voice. Smile at me.
You're just as gentle as ever...
Please gently stroke my trembling cheeks.
You're just as gentle as ever...

 

冷たい口から溢れ出す生温い想い舐めまわせば
蜃気楼の様にはかない恋はもう永遠より永く遠く
Tsumetai kuchi kara afuredasu namanurui omoi namemawaseba
Shinkirou no you ni hakanai koi ha mou eien yori nagaku tooku
I lick up the lukewarm emotions that spill from your cold mouth.
Like a mirage, this transient love is further away than eternity now.

 

Holy moment & Silent moment
Shine with Brilliant colors
and I stay up to Brilliant Vacant

 

Sweet corpse
僕の中のこの愛をおもりにして
暗い底まで沈んでいこう
これでもう彼女は離れない
僕はもう彼女を離さない
Sweet corpse
Boku no naka no kono ai wo omori ni shite
Kurai soko made shizundeikou
Kore de mou kanojo ha hanarenai
Boku ha mou kanajo wo hanasanai
Sweet corpse
This love sinks within me,
Sinking down into the dark depths.
With this, I won't part from her again.
I won't let her go now.

 

『あなたの吐息を溜息も この手で止めたから』
"Anata no toki wo tameiki mo Kono te de tometa kara"

あぁ 煙の向う側 手招きしている無数の影
邪魔しないでおくれ理性 うずきだしている本能
Aa Kemuri no mukou hata Temaneki shiteiru musuu no kage
Jama shinai de okure risei Uzuki dashiteiru honnou
Ah, beyond the smoke, countless shadows are beckoning.
Please don't stop me, reason. My instinct aches.

 

合わせ鏡のずっと奥から続く
この儀式を さぁ始めよう
Awasekagami no zutto oku kara tsuzuku

It continues up from the continuing depths of the opposite mirrors.
Now, let's start this ceremony.

呪文は囁き 願は永遠の愛
Butai ha kumo no ue Gisei ha futari no kako
Jumon ha sasayaki Negai ha eien no ai
The stage is above the clouds, and the sacrifice is our past.
Whispering the spell, my wish is for eternal love.

 

太陽が微笑んでいる 二人を哀れむ様に
空の果てから微笑んでいる 二人の愛も空の果
Taiyou ga hohoendeiru Futari wo awaremu you ni
Sora no hate kara hohoendeiru Futari no ai mo sora no hate
The sun is smiling, as if to pity us.
It smiles from the edge of the sky, and our love, too, is there.

my sigh 静かに 涙にさらわれてゆく
my sigh & your sigh 枯葉の様に積もる
my sigh shizuka ni Namida ni sarawareteyuku
my sigh & your sigh Kareha no you ni tsumoru
my sigh is washed away in silence, and in my tears.
my sigh & your sigh pile up like dead leaves

 

何度うまれかわっても 9月の雨にうたれてた
瞳も濡れたあなたと 同じこの愛で苦しみたい
「…抱きあった摩擦を 憶えてる?」
Nando umarekawatte mo Kuugatsu no ame ni utareteta
Hitomi mo nureta anata to Onaji kono ai de kurushimitai
"... Dakiatta masatsu wo Oboeteru?"
No matter how many times we're reborn, I'm beat by the September rain.
Even my eyes are wet. I want to suffer with this love, just like you..
"...Do you remember the feel of holding me?"

 

Autumn leaves sky and crimson road
I'm walking alone on the vault to heaven

 

悲劇と喜劇の光の中で
ただ在りふれた愛と 昨日の夢の続きを
Kageki to kigeki no hikari no naka de
Tada arifureta ai to Kinou no yume no tsuzuki wo
In the light of tragedy and comedy are
This common love, and the continuation of yesterday's dream.

 

敷きつめた枯葉が 白の下で凍える頃
「何もかも 愛しいよ…」 さよなら
Shikitsumeta kareha ga Shiro no shita de kogoeru koro
"Nani mo ka mo Itoshii yo..." Sayonara
When the spread dead leaves froze beneath the white,
"Everything is so wonderful..." Goodbye.

視線の風は僕の額に穴を開けたまま
この世界にずっと吹き荒れる
Shisen no kaze ha boku no hitai ni ana wo aketa mama
Kono sekai ni zutto fukiareru
The wind's gaze bores into my forehead.
It always violently blows through this world.

 

erase all with only light, leave me without delight
人は無名のまま 皆消えて行く…
erase all with only light, leave me without delight
Hito ha mumei no mama Mina kieteyuku...
erase all with only light, leave me without delight
All the anonymous people will disappear...

 

わめき すすり泣き あえぐ声 それらを遮る様に
押しつつみ広がる silence
Wameki Susurinaki Aegu koe Sorera wo saegiru you ni
Oshitsutsumi hirogaru silence
Screaming, sobbing and gasping voices... as if to interrupt them,
silence pushes in and spreads.

 

初めて死を意識したあの幼い日を思いながら
光を避けた僕は一人怯えた部屋に取り憑かれている
Hajimete shi wo ishiki shita ano osanai hi wo omoinagara
Hikari wo saketa boku ha hitori obieta heya ni toritsukareteiru
I think of that childhood day when I first became aware of death.
I, who had avoided light, feared being alone, and became obsessed in my room.

 

世界から全ての色が 無くなる日を…
Sekai kara subete no iro ga Nakunaru hi wo...
The day where all the world's colours disappeared...

 

君との再会の時 殺したいと思うだろうか?
抱きたいと思うだろうか?
Kimi to no saikai no toki Koroshitai to omou darou ka?
Dakitai to omou darou ka?
I wonder if when I meet you again, I'll want to kill you?
Or will I want to embrace you?

 

抱き締めた記憶と空 言葉より気持より目の前のあなただけ
懐かしい記憶と今 眼が眩む 足が竦む 骨が軋む 骨が震える
Dakishimeta kioku to sora Kotoba yori kimochi yori me no mae no anata dake
Natsukashii kioku to ima Me ga kuramu Ashi ga sukumu Hone ga kishimu Hone ga furueru
The memories I embraced, and the sky, are for the you before my eyes, more
than words, more than feelings.
Now in the nostalgic memories, my eyes are dizzy, my legs are cramping,
my bones are creaking, my bones are trembling...

繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ
Kurikaesu kotoba dake mune no naka wo kasumeru "Kimi ni aitai"
Dare yori mo taisetsu na futari ni naru tame ni tada soba ni itai dake
Only the repeating words flit through my heart: "I miss you."
So that we can become a couple more important than anyone else, I just want
to be by your side.

 

ふりかえるといつもある微笑みの大切さを
季節の終わりまでわからないまま
ほんの少しの勇気があれば優しくもなれたのに
失ったものの大きさを初めて知った
Furikaeru to itsumo aru hohoemi no taisetsusa wo
Kisetsu no owari made wakaranai mama
Honno sukoshi no yuki ga areba yasashiku mo nareta no ni
Ushinatta mono no ookisa wo hajimete shitta
Looking back, that important smile had always been there.
I didn't understand until the end of the season that
Even with a little bit of courage, there can also be kindness.
That was the first time I knew just how much I had lost.

 

目を閉じて空に願う
照れながらつぶやいたあの時の言葉をもう一度・・・
まどろむ午後の日差しの中で消えた足跡を見つめて
Me wo tojite sora ni negau
Terenagara tsubuyaita ano toki no kotoba wo mou ichido...
Madoromu gogo no hizashi no naka de kieta ashiato wo mitsumete
I close my eyes and pray to the sky.
Looking upward, I whisper the words from that time once more...
Dozing off in the afternoon sunlight, I gaze at the footprints that had disappeared.

 

影がのびる夕暮れに現実を呼びさます
夜の吐息にとまどいを消せなくて
Kage ga nobiru yuugure ni genjitsu wo yobisamasu
Yo no toiki ni tomadoi wo kesenakute
In the lengthening shadows of sunset, reality awakens,
But my confusion will not be erased in the breath of night.

 

繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ
Kurikaesu kotoba dake mune no naka wo kasumeru "Kimi ni aitai"
Dare yori mo taisetsu na futari ni naru tame ni tada soba ni itai dake
Only the repeating words flit through my heart: "I miss you."
So that we can become a couple more important than anyone else, I just want
to be by your side.

 

抱き締めて壊れるのならそれでもいいと思った
そんな過去にさよならをつぶやいて
Dakishimete kowareru no nara sore de mo ii to omotta
Sonna kako ni sayonara wo tsubuyaite
I thought that if I held you so tightly you broke would be okay too.
I whisper goodbye to that past.

 

繰り返す言葉だけ胸の中をかすめる 「君に会いたい」
誰よりも大切な二人になるためにただ側に居たいだけ
Kurikaesu kotoba dake mune no naka wo kasumeru "Kimi ni aitai"
Dare yori mo taisetsu na futari ni naru tame ni tada soba ni itai dake
Only the repeating words flit through my heart: "I miss you."

肌が透き通り夜を優しく抱きしめる空がそっと舞い降りてくる頃
風のざわめきは指の隙間をすりぬけながら遊んでいる
君は手のひらを優しく差し出して
この空に飛び込んだ僕の行き先を瞬きもせずじっと見てる
Hada ga sukidoori yoru wo yasashiku dakishimeru sora ga sotto maioritekuru
koro
Kaze no zawameki ha yubi no sukima wo surinukenagara asondeiru
Kimi ha te no hira wo yasashiku sashidashite
Kono sora ni tobikonda boku no yukisaki wo mabataki mo sezu ji tto miteru
The time when my body gently held to the transparent night and the sky softly flew down,
We played as the noise of the wind slipped between the cracks of our fingers.
You gently held out your palm,
And we leapt into the sky, steadily watching my destination without blinking.

 

何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊ってる
Nanimo nai shiroi heya no mado kara chiisana karada nobashite
Kono sora ni sukoshi chikazuita kimi ha boku to futari de odotteiru
I lean my small body out the window of this empty white room,
And in this sky, you draw a bit closer, and we dance together.

 

静かな夜には僕がこの子守唄でなぐさめてあげるから
そんなに泣かないで
Shizuka na yoru ni ha boku ga kono komoriuta de nagusamete ageru kara
Sonna ni nakanai de
Because I'll comfort you with this lullaby in the quiet night,
Please don't cry.

 

風がささやいた
「アスファルトの焼けた匂いもこの夜にはないよ」と
突然の周りの出来事に君はどうしていいか…戸惑っている?
Kaze ga sasayaita
"Asphalt no yaketa nioi mo kono yoru ni ha nai yo" to
Totsuzen no mawari no dekigoto ni kimi ha doushite ii ka... tomadotteiru?
The wind whispers,
"There's not even the smell of the hot asphalt in the night."
Are you okay in those events that suddenly happened around you...? Are you confused?

 

君は手のひらを優しく差し出してこの胸に飛び込んだ
街の静けさも歳の数の灯も君のために
Kimi ha te no hira wo yasashiku sashidashite kono mune ni tobikonda
Machi no shizukesa mo toshi no kazu no tomoshibi mo kimi no tame ni
Gently holding out the palm of your hand, you plunge right into my heart.
The quiet of the city, and the lights of the number of years, are all for you.

 

何もない白い部屋の窓から遠くの景色を眺めて
夕暮れに少し冷たい風をまとい
この日のためいつも奇跡を祈っていた
Nanimo nai shiroi heya no mado kara tooku no keshiki wo nagamete
Yuugure ni sukoshi tsumetai kaze wo matoi
Kono hi no tame ni itsumo kiseki wo inotteita
Gazing at the faraway scenery from the window of this empty white room,
I'm clad in the slightly-chilly wind of the sunset.
I'd always prayed for a miracle for this day.

 

何もない白い部屋の窓から小さな体をのばして
この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊ってる
Nanimo nai shiroi heya no mado kara chiisana karada nobashite
Kono sora ni sukoshi chikazuita kimi ha boku to futari de odotteiru
I lean my small body out the window of this empty white room,
And in this sky, you draw a bit closer, and we dance together.

 

この空に少し近づいた君は僕と二人で踊ってる
Kono sora ni sukoshi chikazuita kimi ha boku to futari de odotteiru
And in this sky, you draw a bit closer, and we dance together.

 

静かな夜には君の素敵な顔見せて
Shizuka na yoru ni kimi no suteki na kao wo misete
In the quiet night, you show me your beautiful face.

「Oh…"Cendrillon"I full your wish...」 ¹

 

一夜限りの恋と夢と憧れと未来と
誰の物でもないauroraの服をまとい舞踏会へ
Hitoyo kagiri no koi to yume to akogare to mirai to
Dare no mono de mo nai aurora no fuku wo matoi butoukai he
The one night of passion, the dreams, the yearning, the future...
Wearing the clothes of the aurora who belongs to no one, you go to the ball.

 

「If my wish realized
Please take me on the from of
beautiful woman again」

 

柱から見下ろす意地悪な時計の針
抱き重なる瞬間をもう少しだけ後にまわして
Hashira kara miorosu ijiwaru na tokei no hari
Dakikasanaru shunkan wo mou sukoshi dake ato ni mawashite
The hands of the malicious clock that looks down on us from the pillar
Extend the moment we hold each other just a bit longer.

 

長い廊下の一番奥の救われぬ夢は
どこまでもずっと…
硝子の靴を履いたらこの夜が終わらぬよう
硝子の靴を脱ぐまでずっと踊らせて

Garasu no kutsu wo haitara kono yoru ga owaranu you
Garasu no kutsu wo nugu made zutto odorasete
The dream that cannot be rescued from the deepest part of the long corridors
Continues on forever...
If you put on the glass shoes, the night will never seem to end.
Until you take off those glass slippers, let us keep dancing.

 

硝子の靴を履いたらこの夜が終わらぬよう
硝子の靴の片方をあの夜に忘れてこよう
Garasu no kutsu wo haitara kono yoru ga owaranu you
Garasu no kutsu no kakera wo ano yoru ni wasuretekoyou
If you put on the glass shoes, the night will never seem to end.
The fragments of the glass slippers are forgotten in the night.

 

まるで御伽話のような どこかで聞いたような夜
ずっと覚めないでおくれ
この夜が…
長い廊下の一番奥の救われぬ夢は
どこまでもずっと…覚めない
Marude otogibanashi no you na Doko ka de kiita you na yoru
Zutto samenai de okure
Kono yoru ga...
Nagai rouka no ichiban oku no sukuwarenu yume ha
Doko made mo zutto... samenai
Please, let the night one can hear of anywhere never awaken,
Just like a fairytale
This night is...
The dream that cannot be rescued from the deepest part of the long corridors
Continues on forever... and won't awaken.

I still can't see you.
Light of the midnight sun.
In the night sky beyond my eyelids,
The countless feelings wrap around me
And take me to the sky.
Under the night sky, I'll grant the wish you sent to the stars
As you bathed in the light of the moon.
I want only you to hear me.
Among clusters of stars the colour of sepia
I repeat the magic words.

Coloured by the stars of the night sky,
The light of the moon gathers in the dreams of night.
I'll build a bridge to the sky.

And tumble head over heels quickly
Into your dreams.

Stumbles in the clouds and scatters.
Tonight, these feelings are painted in the dream.
I want only you to hear me.

ぼやけた空の下で    手を引いて
二人で歩いてた
ふと思いだしたあの頃の声が
遠くから聞こえる
Boyaketa sora no shita de te wo hiite
Futari de aruiteta
Fu to omoidashita ano koro no koe ga
Tooku kara kikoeru
Leading you by the hand,
We walked under a dim sky.
I could hear the voice from that time far away
And suddenly remembered.

 

どこまでも四季とおる 空に合い言葉を
何かの魔法の様に 繰り返していた頃
光を追いかけ季節と戯れていた
今は    あの呼び名さえ    思い出せない
大きな壁に    背伸びして書いた    二人の言葉が
今ではそっと    僕を見上げて
優しく微笑んでくれる
Doko made mo shiki tooru Sora niai kotoba wo
Nanika no mahou no you ni Kurikaeshiteita koro

Ima ha ano yobimei sae omoidasenai
Ooki na kabe ni senobishite kaita futari no kotoba ga
Ima de ha sotto boku wo miagete
Yasashiku hohoende kureru
The four seasons pass along everywhere. The time when
Those words meant for the sky were repeated over and over like some sort of witchcraft,
I chased the light and played with the seasons,
And now I can't even remember my name.
Even now, the words we stretched to write
Upon the big wall are there. You look up at me
And gently smile.

 

ぼやけた空の下で    手を引いて
二人で歩いてた
ふと思いだしたあの頃の声が
遠くから聞こえる
Boyaketa sora no shita de te wo hiite
Futari de aruiteta
Fu to omoidashita ano koro no koe ga
Tooku kara kikoeru
Leading you by the hand,
We walked under a dim sky.
I could hear the voice from that time far away
And suddenly remembered.

 

いつしか居なくなった 君の事を
あの頃と変わらない この空に重ねる
大きな道の真ん中に立って
何処まで行けば    出会えるのかと
不安に想=思った そんな頃が    懐かしい
眩しい陽差しの中で    僕は    この空に
新しい何かの予感を    少し感じてた
Itsushika inaku natta Kimi no koto wo
Ano koro to kareranai Kono sora ni kasaneru
Ooki na michi no mannaka ni tatte
Doko made yukeba kimi ni aeru no ka to
Fuan ni omotta Sonna koro ga natsukashii
Mabushii hizashi no naka de boku ha kono sora ni
Atarashii nanika no yokan wo sukoshi kanjiteta
Before I realised it, you weren't here anymore.
You haven't changed at all from that time. You overlap with that sky.
Standing in the middle of the giant road, I wonder:
Where should I go so I can meet you?
I uneasily thought of that nostalgic time.
In the midst of brilliant sunlight, I'm in this sky,
Feeling just a small premonition of something new.

 

大きな壁に    並んで書いた    二人の言葉が
今ではずっと    忘れてた大切な事
思い出させる
Ooki na kabe ni narandekaita futari no kotoba ga
Ima de ha zutto wasureteta taisetsu na koto
Omoidesaseru
Side-by-side, we wrote together on that big wall.
Now, I suddenly remember those important things
I had forgotten for so long.

 

ぼやけた空の下で    手を引いて
二人で歩いてた
ふと思いだしたあの頃の声が
遠くから聞こえる
Boyaketa sora no shita de te wo hiite
Futari de aruiteta
Fu to omoidashita ano koro no koe ga
Tooku kara kikoeru
Leading you by the hand,
We walked under a dim sky.
I could hear the voice from that time far away
And suddenly remembered.

 

何のシナリオも    結末も無く
無邪気に割ってた
ふと思いだした    あの頃の声が
遠くから聞こえる
眩しい陽差しの中で    僕は    この空に
新しい何かの予感を    少し感じてた
透き通る陽差しの中で    呼んだ君の名を
空に    浮かべ消えて    無くなるまで
ずっと    見ていた   
僕だけの終末
Nan no scenario mo ketsumatsu mo naku
Mujaki ni watteta
Fu to omoidashita ano koro no koe ga
Tooku kara kikoeru
Mabushii hizashi no naka de boku ha kono sora ni
Atarashii nanika no yokan wo sukoshi kanjiteta
Sukitooru hizashi no naka de yonda kimi no na wo
Sora no ukabekiete nakunaru made
Zutto miteita
Boku dake no shuumatsu
What sort of scenario, what sort of ending
Did I innocently destroy?
Suddenly remembering the voice of that time,
I can hear it faraway.
In the midst of brilliant sunlight, I'm in this sky,
Feeling just a small premonition of something new.
Calling your name in the middle of the transparent sunlight,
Until I float up into the sky and disappear,
I'll keep looking for you forever.
This is my end alone.

僕の思考は次第に勾配を増す
闇の螺旋の中に砕け散り空へと落ちていく
深く戸惑う心の隙間を舞ながら
言葉を探して僕の罪がまた始まる
微笑み合いぼやけていく姿だけ浮かべて
足早に通り過ぎる言葉さえ見えない
少しだけ抱きしめた嘘の空を
追憶の破片は鈍色に霞んでいく
無言の悲鳴に身を震わせる何かの終わりと
色褪せた記憶だけ抱えてあの空へ落ちていく
Boku no shikou ha shidai ni koubai wo masu
Yami no rasen no naka ni udakechiri sora he to ochiteiku
Fukaku tomadou kokoro no sukima wo mainagara
Kotoba wo sagashite boku no tsumi ga mata hajimaru
Hohoemiai boyaketeiku sugata dake ukabete
Ashibaya ni toorisugiru kotoba sae mienai
Sukoshi dake dakishimeta uso no sora wo
Tsuioku no kakera ha nibiiro ni kasundeiku
Mugon no himei ni mi wo furuwaseru nanika no owari to
Iroaseta kioku dake daete ano sora he ochiteiku
My thoughts are slowly sloping
Into the spiral of darkness, Falling into a smashed sky.
As the crevices of my deeply-troubled heart dance,
I search for words. My sins start again.
Only thinking of your blurring form that smiled with me,
I can't see the words that quickly pass me by.
Hold me for just a bit longer in the sky of lies.
The fragments of my recollections blur into dark grey,
And my body trembles with silent screams. When it all ends,
I'll hold only the faded memories close, and fall into that sky.

 

誰も止められない…
僕が落ちていくほんの少しだけ
今を抱きしめたから
Dare mo tomerarenai...
Boku ga ochiteiku honno sukoshi dake
Ima wo dakishimeta kara
No one can stop me...
I'll fall. Hold me for
Just a little longer now.

 

消えかけの蝋燭のように眠りに落ちた
古い瞬きが光を放つのに耳をたてる
少しだけ抱きしめた嘘の空を
誰も今までの惨烈な軌跡など知らない
道徳がぼやけていく「人」と詐称する僕は
豊かな黒い色彩を契れた指でなぞり合う
追憶の欠片は鈍色に霞んで行く無言の
悲鳴に身を震わせる何かの終わりと
色褪せた記憶だけ抱えてあの空へ墜ちて行く
Kiekake no rousoku no you ni nemuri no ochita
Furui mebataki ga hikari wo hanatsu no ni mimi wo tateru
Sukoshi dake dakishimeta uso no sora wo
Dare mo ima made no sanretsu na kiseki nado shiranai
Doutoki ga boyaketeiku "hito" to sashou suru boku ha
Yutaka na kuroi shikisai wo hikareta yubi de nazoriau
Tsuioku no kakera ha nibiiro ni kasundeiku mugon no
Himei ni mi wo furuwaseru nanika no owari to
Iroaseta kioku dake daete ano sora he ochiteiku
Like a candle that slowly melts away, I'll fall asleep.
Though the blink of my old eyes sheds light, I'm listening.
No one knows the cruelty I've borne up to now.
Misrepresented by people whose morals have become dim,
I trace you with these fingers pledged to the rich blackness.
The fragments of my recollections blur into dark grey, and my body
Trembles with silent screams. When it all end,
I'll hold only the faded memories close, and fall into that sky.

 

誰も止められない… 僕が墜ちて行く
誰も止められない… 空に墜ちて行く
誰も止められない… 君と落ちていく
ほんの少しだけ今を抱きしめたから
Dare mo tomerarenai... Boku ga ochiteiku
Dare mo tomerarenai... Sora ni ochiteiku
Dare mo tomerarenai... Kimi to ochiteiku
Honno sukoshi dake ima wo dakishimeta kara
No one can stop me... I'll fall.
No one can stop me... I'll fall into the sky.
No one can stop me... I'll fall with you,
Because now you'll hold me for just a bit longer.

冷たく囁く声に導かれ 開かれた無数の扉の向うは
眩い光に包まれた 彩り溢れる世界の果て
限りない時の流れに誘う「楽園」
Tsumetaku sasayaku koe ni michibikare Hirakareta musuu no tobira no mukau ha
Mabayui hikari ni tsutsumareta Irodoriafureru sekai no hate
Kagirinai toki no nagare ni sasou "Rakuen"
Led by a cold, whispering voice, and facing the countless opened doors,
I'm wrapped in a dazzling light at the end of a world overflowing with colour.
"Paradise" invites me with its limitless flow of time.

 

風は甘い蜜を運び偽りの影踊らせる
深い倒錯に触れた恍惚の果てに溺れゆく
Kaze ha amai mitsu wo hakobi itsuwari no kage odoraseru
Fukai tousaku ni fureta koukotsu no hate ni oboreyuku
The wind carries sweet honey, and the false shadows dance,
Touched by deep perversion and drowning in the depths of ecstasy.

 

静かに迫る終焉の時刻は絶望の香りに包まれる
The end of dream
Shizuka ni semaru owari¹ no toki² ha zetsubou no kaori ni tsutsumareru
The end of dream
The end time draws near to silence, wrapped in the scent of despair.
The end of dream.

 

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる
Sakimidareru hana no you ni kage sae naku
Owari no nai yume no naka de towa ni yureru
Like flowers that bloom profusely, I haven't even a shadow.
In this endless dream, I tremble at eternity.

 

現実と夢を弄ぶ
The end of dream
Genjitsu to yume wo moteasobu
Toying with reality and dreams,
The end of dream

 

闇に浮かぶ黒い声は密かに告げる崩壊を
精神に描かれた淡い光景はやがて暗い陰に姿を隠す
Yami ni ukabu kuroi koe ha hisoka ni tsugeru houkai wo
Kokoro³ ni egakareta awai koukei ha yagate kurai kage ni sugata wo kakusu
The black voice that floats up in the darkness secretly tells of decay.
The fleeting scene made by my heart finally hides itself in the dark shadows.

 

夜の来ない空は儚く遠ざかり
途切れゆく記憶に光が消えてゆく
Yoru no konai sora ha hakanaku toozakari
Togireyuku kioku ni hikari ga kieteyuku
The sky where night will not come is transient and distant.
In the interrupted memories, light is disappearing.

 

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる
Sakimidareru hana no you ni kage sae naku
Owari no nai yume no naka de towa ni yureru
Like flowers that bloom profusely, I haven't even a shadow.
In this endless dream, I tremble at eternity.

 

光挿す楽園は永遠の時の中で…
翳りゆく楽園は終わらない夢の中で…
Hikari sasu rakuen ha towa no toki no naka de...
Kageriyuku rakuen ha owaranai yume no naka de...
The paradise struck with light is in eternal time...
The clouding paradise is in a neverending dream...

Notes
1. “Shuuen” (“end”) is written, but Klaha sings “owari”, which means the same thing.
2. “Jikoku” (“moment, instant”) is written, but “toki” (“time”) is sung.
3. “Seishin” (“soul, mind”) is written, while Klaha sings “kokoro” (“heart”).

表通りはいつものように
優しい風を運んでくる

優しい風を運んでくる
街の広場で語る恋人達の

Main street is as it always is.
I just gaze at
The people walking down the road
Who are moved by the gentle wind.
I find the lovers
Talking in the town square,
Moved by the gentle wind.
You were smiling
One afternoon in Paris.
"I want to stand in a pair with you
And walk
Under the sky
One afternoon in Paris,"
I whispered.
Far away, you were
Smiling at someone.

 

日が暮れると広場の
至る所に灯がともり
まるで花が咲いたよう
星の広場の
マロニエの並木も
ガラス越しのドレスも
きっと似合うんだろうな

The sun sets, and
All the lamps in the square light up.
The flowers that have bloomed
In the square of stars,
And the rows of chestnut trees,
And the dress like glass
Are surely all suited to you.
One afternoon in Paris
I'll feel my fate
Riding the wind and coming near
Under the sky.
One afternoon in Paris
Tomorrow too, in this place,
I feel sure that I
Will meet you again.
One afternoon in...

むりやり押しつけられた かたい靴のせいで
show windowの中で 動けないあの人形
暇だから この週末はテδッテつソテつステδッテつソテつステδッテつソテつス通りで
ここの周りの人達に染まってみるのもいいかもね
Muriyari oshitsukerareta Katai kutsu no sei de
show window no naka de Ugokenai ano ningyou
Hima dakara Kono shuumatsu ha テδッテつソテつステδッテつソテつステδッテつ doori de
Koko no mawari no hitotachi ni somattemiru no mo ii ka mo ne
Pushed against its will,  that mannequin in the show window
Can't move because of its stiff shoes.
I have some free time this weekend, so maybe it would be good to go out with the locals
And spend some time on テδッテつソテつス Street.

 

雨上がりの朝は水たまりで跳ねて
星降る夜を待ち 願いをかけよう
Ameagari no asa ha mizutamari de hanete
Hoshifuru yoru wo machi Negai wo kakeyou
The morning after the rain, I jump in the puddles.
I wait for a night of raining stars so I can make a wish.

 

「Ma Chérieテδッテつソテつス」

 

恋人達は理由もなく
きっかけも なにもなく
Koibitotachi ha wake¹ mo naku
Kikkake mo Nani mo naku
Lovers have no reasoning,
Or motives, or anything.

 

久しぶりに見かけた 半世紀 寄り添う二人
ほら そこの窓から こぼれ落ちている幸せを
少し黙って もらってみても
ここの周りの人達も 見逃してくれるよね
Hisashiburi ni mikaketa Hanseiki Yorisou futari
Hora Soko no mado kara Koboreochiteiru shiawase wo
Sukoshi damatte Morattemite mo
Koko no mawari no hitotachi mo Minogashite kureru yo ne
I noticed for the first time in a long time, maybe half a century, a cuddling couple.
Look, from that window, happiness is falling.
Even if you try to be quiet for just a little while
The people around us will overlook it too.

 

昨日の午後の昼は もう少し夢の中
星降る夜を待ち 願いをかけよう
Kinou no gogo no hiru ha Mou sukoshi yume no naka
Hoshifuru yoru wo machi Negai wo kakeyou
I wait for a night of raining stars so I can make a wish that
I could stay in the dream of yesterday for a little longer.

 

「Ma Chérieテδッテつソテつス」

 

恋人達は理由もなく
きっかけも なにもなく
Koibitotachi ha wake mo naku
Kikkake mo Nani mo naku
Lovers have no reasoning,
Or motives, or anything.

 

星降る夜を待ち 願いをかけよう
Hoshifuru yoru wo machi Negai wo kakeyou
I wait for a night of raining stars so I can make a wish.

 

繰り返すこの言葉は祈りの言葉
Kurikaesu kono kotoba ha inori no kotoba
These words I repeat over and over are the words of a prayer.

Notes
1. “Riyuu” (“reason”) is written, but Gackt sings “wake”, which means the same thing.

Je te veux Translation

A translation of Malice Mizer’s “Je te veux” from their album “Merveilles”. As far as I know, “veux” is a conjugated form as “to see”, but when I put it into Google Translate just to check, it also came up with “to want”, which I decided to go with since it matched the lyrics just as well. If it’s wrong, please let me know!

久しぶりに出会った貴方は何もかも変わって
まるで別人のように僕を引き寄せる
Hisashiburi ni deatta kimi¹ ha nani mo ka mo kawatte
Marude betsujin no you ni boku wo hikiyoseru
Meeting you for the first time in so long, everything about you has changed so much
That you drew me as if you were someone completely different.

 

荒んだ空気をまとって周りを包み込む
まるで氷で出来た月のように冷たくて
Susanda kuuki wo matotte mawari wo tsutsumikomu
Marude koori de dekita tsuki no you ni tsumetakute
Clad in wild atmosphere, you wrap up your surroundings.
You're cold, just like the moon made of ice.

 

貴方の澄んだ瞳には僕は見えない
躰を巡らす糸を焼き尽くして
ほんの少しだけでいい抱かれていたい
狂わす月が夜に寄り添うように
Kimi no susunda hitomi ni ha boku ha mienai
Karada wo megurasu ito wo yakitsukushite
Honno sukoshi dake de ii dakareteitai
Kuruwasu tsuki ga yoru ni yorisou you ni
Your clear eyes can't see me,
And the threads enclosing my body burn away.
I want to hold you for just a little longer,
Like how the maddened moon nestles in the night.

 

躰を動かすことも出来ず言葉をつまらせる
冷たい指で唇をなぞる僕を押し付けて
Karada wo ugokasu koto mo dekizu kotoba wo tsumaraseru
Tsumetai yubi de kuchibiru wo nazoru boku wo oshitsukete
Unable to move my body, you instead fill it with words..
Tracing my lips with cold fingers, you push me.

 

貴方の澄んだ瞳には何も見えない
躰を巡らす糸を焼き尽くして
ほんの少しだけでいい抱かれていたい
狂わす月が夜に寄り添うように

Honno sukoshi dake de ii dakareteitai
Kuruwasu tsuki ga yoru ni yorisou you ni
Your clear eyes can't see me,
And the threads enclosing my body burn away.
I want to hold you for just a little longer,
Like how the maddened moon nestles in the night.

Your clear eyes can't see me,
And the threads enclosing my body burn away.
I want to hold you for just a little longer,
Like how the maddened moon nestles in the night.

Notes
1. “Anata” (a polite form of “you”) is written but Gackt sings the familiar form, “kimi”.

Whispering many, many illusions into your ear,
I'll short your circuits and fix them again.

On top of the soiled sheets, you cry out in feeling.
You stretch out over my face and dance, venus.
DIE GAME

I, wanting to be the sun high above the moon,
Play by stabbing a knife into your chest.

 

羽を広げ空へ舞い上がる僕は
日に抱かれ歓喜の声を張り叫ぶ
Hane wo hiroge sora he maiagaru boku ha
Hi ni dakare kanki no koe wo harisakebu
Spreading my wings, I dance in the sky,
Embraced by the sun, and crying out with a rejoicing voice.

深い悲しみから逃れるために自ら死を招こうとしていた
でもそれは大きな過ちだった ただ安らぎが欲しかっただけなのに
Fukai kanashimi kara nogareru tame ni mizukara shi wo manekou to shiteita
Demo sore ha ooki na ayamachi datta Tada yasuragi ga hoshikatta dake na no ni
So I can escape from this deep sadness, I must invite my own death.
But, that was an incredible mistake. I just wanted some peace...

 

君の鼓動をこの手に聞きながら
そして静けさに変わる吐息の中で安らぎを
Kimi no kodou wo kono te ni kikinagara
Soshite shizukesa ni kawaru toiki no naka de yasuragi wo
Hearing your pulse in my hand,
In the midst of the sighs, the peace turns to silence.

 

陽光に別れを告げ僕は生まれ変わった
初めて見る夜の美しさに僕は泣いた
そして深い眠りから目覚めた時 君が側に立っていた
Youkou ni wakare wo tsuge boku ha umarekawatta
Hajimete miru yoru no utsukushisa ni boku ha naita
Soshite fukai nemuri kara mezameta toki Kimi ga soba ni tatteita
Told that we would be separated in the sunlight, I was reborn.
I cried when I first saw the beauty of the night,
And when I awoke from deep sleep, you were standing at my side.

 

一度感じた永遠の誘惑は深く・・・遠く・・・永く・・・
甘い口づけを今も誘い出す
Ichido kanjita towa no yuuwaku ha fukaku... tooku... nagaku...
Amai kuchizuke wo ima mo sasoidasu
The temptation of eternity I once felt was so deep... so distant... so long…
Even now, with a sweet kiss, you lure me.

 

この歌・・・ 私が愛した人が好んでいた歌
もう永い間聞くことはなかった
彼女は私だけを残して逝ってしまった
もう一度声を聞かせてくれ・・・ もう一度・・・
Kono uta... watashi ga aishita hito ga kondeita uta
Mou nagai aida kiku koto ha nakatta
Kanojo ha watashi dake wo nokoshite itteshimatta
Mou ichido koe wo kikasetekure... mou ichido...
This song... is a song of choosing whom to love.
I won't hear of eternity anymore.
She was all I had left, and she's passed away...
Please, let me hear your voice just once more... just once more...

 

「Drink from me and live forever」

 

永遠に続く新しい世界を手に入れるために
君が呟くすべてのことに意味は持たない
Towa ni tsuzuku atarashii sekai wo te ni ireru tame ni
Kimi ga tsubuyaku subete no koto ni imi ha motanai
So that I can grasp this new world that continues on eternally,
Everything that you whispered to me can have no meaning.

優しい顔した誰かに繰り返す
Odorasareru koto ha Mou ima ha nani mo kanjinai
Boku ha sashidashita ryoute wo kogashite
Kurikaesu kotoba ha uso wo narabeta shinjitsu
Yasashii kao shita dareka ni kurikaesu
What makes me dance is that now I can't feel anything.
The hands I hold out are burned.
The repeating words are truth lining to lies.
Making a kind face, I repeat it to somebody.

 

嘘の太陽の下で大地の詩を口にして
僕のこの姿さえ消えて失くなるまで
掌を空に翳して忘れた痛みを今だけ
ほんの少し思い出して手の中で転がす
Uso no taiyou no shita de daichi no uta wo kuchi ni shite
Boku no kono karada¹ sae kiete nakunaru made
Hira wo sora ni kazashite wasureta itami wo ima dake
Honno sukoshi omoidashite te no naka de korogasu
Under this false sun, I sing the song of the earth.
Until even my body disappears,
I'll hold my palms up to the sky. Now, only the pain I'd forgotten
Is what I remember, bit by bit, and turn in my hands.

 

君からの手紙をpocketにしまって
誰にも言えず僕だけの物に
喜ぶ人は今も手を叩くことを止めない
そう僕は飾られた偽りのmusette
Kimi kara no tegami wo pocket ni shimatte
Dare ni mo iezu boku dake no mono ni
Yorokobu hito ha ima mo te wo tataku koto wo yamenai
Sou boku ha kazarareta itsuwari no musette
I put your letter in my pocket.
They're things for me alone, that cannot be said to anyone else.
The happy people won't stop clapping.
Yes, I am an ornamented false musette

このまま夢のようにいつまでも閉じ込め
愛の中で
果てなく揺れる想い
壊れるほど抱いてあげるから
この腕の中で
Kono mama yume no you ni itsumade mo tojikomu
Ai no naka de
Hatenaku yureru omoi
Kowareru hodo daiteageru kara
Kono ude no naka de
To keep the love we're in like this,
I'll shut it away forever.
The endlessly-tremoring emotions are
Because I'm holding you so tightly in these arms
That you may break.
