哀しくもつれた心が
漂うマスカレードでは
誰もがピエロになれる
嘘に揺られて泣き笑いをしてみせる

仮面の下で
脅えて歌う
陰を無くしたピエロ
ふらつきながらおどけた振りしてみせる

通り過ぎる紫煙に乗り
遠ざかる影と踊る
通り過ぎる花束
遠ざかる記憶を抱きながら

割れた鏡の中に
なつかしい顔を探せ
自分の底に沈み込み
隠しておいた裸の心かみしめろ

空のボトルに
ため息詰めて
窓の外に捨て去れ
絡み始めた想いをほぐしてみせろ

通り過ぎる笑顔に泣け
遠ざかる涙笑え
通り過ぎる昨日と
遠ざかる明日を抱きながら

A sorrowful tangled heart
In a drifting masquerade
Can turn anyone into a pierrot
Shaken by lies, I’ll laugh through my tears

Hiding beneath a mask
Singing in fear
Is a pierrot who lost his shadow
Staggering around, I’ll perform clownish antics

Ride on tobacco smoke passing by
Dancing with shadows growing distant
Flower bouquets passing by
While clinging to memories growing distant

In the shattered mirror
I search for a familiar face
Drowning in my depths
Digest¹ the naked heart I’ve hidden

Into an empty bottle
Stuff in your sighs
And throw it out the window
Try picking apart your thoughts that have begun to tangle

Cries with smiles passing by
Tearful laughs growing distant
While clinging to yesterday which has passed by
And tomorrow which grows distant

 

 

Notes:

¹ I used “digest” as a translation for かみしめろ (kamishimero) because the word has a couple of definitions. One being the more literal “bite/chew on something”, while the other being “to think about/meditate on something”. In my opinion, “digest” fulfills both nuances to a certain extent.

のどかな昼下がり僕はベランダで
お茶を飲みながら話したんだ神様と
大好きなあのコの寝言の事やら
隣の家のネコの話をしたのさ
街を越えて
雲を越えて
歌が鳴ってた
空の上
響いてた
チョコレート　ドリーム
チョコレート　ドリーム
チョコレート　ドリーム
マーマレードの空の下で君に会いたい

カーペットの上ではちりやほこりが
キラキラ踊って輝いていたのさ
光と影がゆれておとぎ話をしてた
こんなに何もないからっぽな自由が好きだ
虹は夢と
空は海と
抱きあってた
神様も
うっとりしてた
チョコレート　ドリーム
チョコレート　ドリーム
チョコレート　ドリーム
マーマレードの空の下で溶けあいたい

街を越えて

部屋が浮いてく
チェシャ猫が

One idyllic early afternoon, I was on the veranda
Having tea while chatting with god
About the sleep talking my beloved does
And about the cat next door
Over the city
Over the clouds
A song played
Above the sky
It rang out
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
I want to see you under a marmalade sky

Atop the carpet, dust balls and specks
Danced, sparkled and glittered
Light and shadow fluttered as they told fairy tales
It’s such a vacant empty freedom that I love
Rainbows and dreams
The sky and the sea
Come together in a hug
Even god
Finds it enchanting
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
I want to melt with you under a marmalade sky

Over the city
Over the clouds
My room floats away
The Cheshire cat
Grinned
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
Under a marmalade sky

Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
Chocolate Dream
I want to see you under a marmalade sky

暗闇の中おまえを照らすマッチは　使いはたした
手さぐりで話しあおう　その方がよく見える

不安の星クズ降る夜　勇気を少し分けあおう
激しい未来を見つめて　おまえと走り去ろう

Tired out, you look like you’re about to fall apart
It’ll be alright　You’ll surely be swaddled by sweet dreams tonight
 　Don’t tremble, it’s “All right, All right”
 　Don’t be afraid, it’s “All right, All right”
Time goes by　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I hold on to hope just
 　　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I sweep away all worry just

The match shining on you in the dark has　burnt out
Let’s feel our way as we talk　We can see better this way
 　Even if you wander off, it’s “All right, All right”
 　Because I’ll find you, so it’s “All right, All right”
Time goes by　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I hold on to the future just
 　　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I wipe away all pain just

On nights when it rains stardust of anxiety　Let’s share some courage
Staring at a relentless future　I’ll run away with you
Time goes by　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I hold on to hope just
 　　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly
 　　　　On nights when I sweep away all worry just
 　　Sleep, just sleep　Sleep soundly

Before I knew it, I came to life and disappeared
For the sake of loving
Before you knew it, you appeared and departed
For the sake of loving
Before we knew it, we both met and found
Something dear
Before we knew it, we gently reached out
To the beloved
The other side of the bed
The other side of the door
You have always been
waving your hand with a smile

Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the present smile
Kiss, Kiss, for Me　To the hummed melody
Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the tears welling up
Kiss, Kiss, for Me

Before I knew it, I bade farewell to yesterday
For the sake of chancing upon something
Before you knew it, you welcomed tomorrow
For the sake of finding something
The other side of the table
The other side of the window
I have always been
waving my hand with a smile

Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the coincidence in the now
Kiss, Kiss, for Me　To having met each other
Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the eternal present
Kiss, Kiss, for Me　To disappeared time

Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the present smile
Kiss, Kiss, for Me　To the hummed melody
Kiss, Kiss, for You　To the tears welling up

凍てついた夜のかた隅で
シーツにくるまり電話を待つ
窓をたたく風のたよりに
僕は少しだけブルーだと告げた

白い空気と時計の針を
じっと見つめてあの日を思う

君は虹を見たか
君は虹を見たか
君は…..　今も…..

にじんだ夕陽と君の笑い声を
水平線が連れ去って行った…. あの夏
ひざをかかえて月あかりを感じ
僕はそれでも元気だと思って

君は虹を見たか
君は虹を見たか
君は…..　今も…..

遠くの空に君が映る
空になったウイスキーのビンが転がる
明日も夢は見るだろうけど
今は昨日を夢見ていたい

Somewhere in a corner of the frozen night
Waiting for a phone call, tangled in the sheets
The sound of the wind beating against the window
Tells me that I’m just a little blue

Staring at the white air and the hands of the clock
I think about that day

Did you see the rainbow
Did you see the rainbow
Did you…..　Even now…..

The blurry sunset and the sound of your laughter
were led away by the watery horizon…. That summer
I feel the moonlight while on my knees
Thinking that I am nevertheless well

Did you see the rainbow
Did you see the rainbow
Did you…..　Even now…..

You’re reflected in the faraway sky
An emptied whisky bottle rolls
I assume I’ll dream tomorrow too but
Today I want to dream yesterday’s dream

Did you see the rainbow
Did you see the rainbow
Did you see the rainbow
Did you see the rainbow
Did you…..　Even now…..

Spread out the carpet of twilight　Whoopee in the basement

Scream out　The white powder is a Cretosus time¹
Toss the Möbius strip　Everyone is snow-white

Since it’s a night where the gushing laughter doesn’t stop

Notes:

¹ 白亜紀 (hakua-ki) is Japanese for the Cretaceous period but noting that the lyrics use 期 instead of 紀, simply translating 白亜期 as such wouldn’t be quite right. I did a bit of digging and it turns out the Cretaceous period was named such due to large amounts of chalk deposits found in that geological layer, and that Cretaceous is derived from creta which is Latin for chalk. Then I did more digging into the Latin to figure out if there’s an adjective for creta, something like chalky, and it turns out there is: cretosus. So I translated 白亜期 as “a Cretosus time”. Hopefully that’s what ISSAY intended with writing that.

1　2　3　　Forever　now
Pop open a Bad Lemon
The time for baby’s first cry has come
I want to go all the way to the top with the 7th angel
The pleasure bug moults its skin and disperses ecstasy
With everything and anything in mind　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah
The sun is blazing　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah

The wine cork dances
Searching for a soaking wet entrance
Shake your hips to the beat of the universe
Screw driving into bright red lips
I’m making love with heaven　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah
I can’t control myself　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah

4　5　6　　7th　Angel
Tip the bottle over
Let’s toast to enrapturing dreams
The 7th angel does a somersault and knocks on the door
A rendezvous with the devil while smoking White Sugar
With everything and anything in mind　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah
The sun is blazing　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah
I’m making love with heaven　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah
I can’t control myself　Yeah　Yeah　Yeah

Japanese

 

冷たく燃え上がれ
心の湖へと
真珠色のもやが
月夜にたちこめる
吐息は狂い咲く

 　　いつも時間は逃げて行くから
 　　きつく抱きあっていたい

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　おまえの底に沈んで行きたい
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　もっと深く溺れたい震えたい

欲望に舟浮かべ
夢の中滑り込もう
背中にはさざ波
胸にすすり泣きを
裸で狂い咲く

 　　水晶の中へ旅をしないか
 　　まぶたを閉じて見つめよう

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　月の湖に光の破片が
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　ずっと深く刺さる溺れてく

 　　いつも時間は逃げて行くから
 　　きつく抱きあっていたい

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　月の湖に光の破片が
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　ずっと深く刺さる
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　おまえの底に沈んで行きたい
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　もっと深く溺れれたい震えたい

Coldly ignite
Into the lake in my heart
A pearlescent haze
Envelops the moonlit night
My breath fervently blooms

 　　Time always slips away so
 　　I want to hold you tight

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　I want to sink into your depths
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　I want to shiver and drown deeper

Float a boat on desire
Let’s slide into a dream
Ripples on my back
In my chest, the sobbing
Fervently blooms naked

 　　Shall we go on a journey into the crystal quartz
 　　Let’s close our eyelids and stare

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　Shards of light on the lunar lake are
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　Always piercing deeply, drowning

 　　Time always slips away so
 　　I want to hold you tight

Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　Shards of light on the lunar lake are
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　Always piercing deeply
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　I want to sink into your depths
Crazy Moon Shine　Blazin’ Moon Shine
 　　I want to shiver and drown deeper

Jackin’ jackin’　世紀末のカルナバル
オマエを陥れる　電子のペニス
Jackin’ jackin’　避妊具に閉ざされる愛
オマエをつらぬいた　ロマンスのナイフ

Jackin’ jackin’　盗聴器に気を付けろ
奴等の心はクロームメッキ
Jackin’ jackin’　3Dの幻さ
奴等が作ったフリーキーなロリータ

情報時代のテロリスト　お前は最後のロマンチスト
欲望だけの愛情が　俺のベッドに横たわっているぜ

Boys n’ Girls　新しい遊びを教えておくれ
Boys n’ Girls　新しいオモチャを教えてクレナイカ?

Jackin’ jackin’　神様をセリにかけ
奴等ビデオファンタジーに現をぬかす
Jackin’ jackin’　真実は隠される
サイコセラピストがブレーキを踏む

情報時代の子供達　お前は最後の革命家
覗き見野郎のエボラウィルス
カッコーの巣の上で　もがいているぜ

Boys n’ Girls　新しいブルーズを教えてさくれ
Boys n’ Girls　新しいゲームを始めようじゃないか

情報的SEXとは?　情報的欲望とは?　情報的満足とは?
君は僕の何であるのか?　君は僕に何を言うのか?
君は僕に何をもたらすのか?

Boys n’ Girls　新しい遊びを教えておくれ
Boys n’ Girls　新しいオモチャを教えてクレナイカ?
Boys n’ Girls　新しいブルーズを教えてさくれ
Boys n’ Girls　新しいゲームを始めようじゃないか
