さあ幕を切り裂けよ
夜を始めよう
そう俺は震えている
悪く無い気分だ
さあ さあ

愛と死を生を歌え
命よ踊れ
あの子が笑っている
悪く無い世界だ

感じているか Adam & Eve
愛という名の獣(ケモノ)たちよ
禁断の実¹をアアンアン
We love you

踊れ悪魔 腰を振っておくれ
狂え悪魔 可愛い可愛い悪魔

身体中沸騰している²
今夜は眠れない
あの子が笑っている
俺は生きている

感じているわ My Darling
愛を貪(むさぼ)る獣(ケダモノ)なの
禁断の実をアアンアン
We love you

踊れ道化(ピエロ) 今夜演じ切るんだ
狂え道化(ピエロ) それがそれがお前だ

感じているか Adam & Eve
愛という名の獣(ケモノ)たちよ
禁断の実¹をアアンアン
We love you

踊れ悪魔 腰を振っておくれ
狂え悪魔 可愛い可愛い悪魔

踊れ道化(ピエロ) 今夜演じ切るんだ
狂え道化(ピエロ) それがそれがお前だ

Now, it’s time to tear the curtains away
And let the night commence
That’s right, I’m trembling
This doesn’t feel too bad
Come, come

Sing of love and death, and of living
Dance with all your life
That child is laughing away
This world isn’t too bad

Do you feel it? Adam & Eve
We’re the beasts which go by the name of love
Say “ah” and take a bite of the forbidden fruit¹
We love you

Dance, you devil Shake your hips for me
Go crazy, you devil Cute, adorable devil

It’s all rushing² through my body
I won’t be able to sleep tonight
That child is laughing away
And I am living

Do you feel it? My Darling
I am a beast hungering for love
Say “ah” and take a bite of the forbidden fruit¹
We love you

Dance, pierrot You will perform to the very end tonight
Go crazy, pierrot That is all, that is all on you

Do you feel it? Adam & Eve
We’re the beasts which go by the name of love
Say “ah” and take a bite of the forbidden fruit¹
We love you

Dance, you devil Shake your hips for me
Go crazy, you devil Cute, adorable devil

Dance, pierrot You will perform to the very end tonight
Go crazy, pierrot That is all, that is all on you

 

Notes:

¹ The Forbidden Fruit of the Garden of Eden is known as 禁断の果実 (kindan no kajitsu) in Japanese. Here, the lack of 果 in the phrase doesn’t change the translation into “Forbidden Fruit” because Sakurai pronounces 実 as “mi” rather than “jitsu”. When pronounced as “mi”, 実 refers to fruit, or seed, or pieces of meat/vegetables/ingredients in broth, or content/substances. When pronounced as “jitsu”, 実 refers to truth or reality.

² The direct translation of 沸騰している (futoushite iru) is “to be on the boil”. In other words, it typically refers to liquids boiling, simmering, or frothing because of the heat. Rather than go with a direct translation of the word, I used “rushing through” to create a similar image.
