Japanese

あれから何年もたってるのに
まだ熱にうかされたまま
男も女も　知らない頃に
たくさんの贈り物をもらったから
 　　出会った時に　投げ捨てた時計は
 　　あの時間のまま　止まってる
 　　”Time for Action!!”

うしろ指さされる事に
びくびくしていた頃もあった
誤解される事は　もう恐がらない
目をあけたまま　夢を見る事も出来る
 　　ずっと宇宙のみなし児なんだと
 　　僕は信じたままでいたんだ
 　　“Time for Action!!”

僕はあなたの子供さ　Rock’n Roll Doctor
時を越えて歌おう　Rock’n Roll Doctor

あなたは天国へ行ったけれど
革命の子はうかれたまま
今日も酒をくらって　僕はさわいでる
死にかけた Rock Music　笑いとばして
 　　紫のミニクーパー追いかけて
 　　宇宙まで僕も飛んで行きたい
 　　“Time for Action!!”

 　”Come on Guitar Kids, yeah!”

僕はあなたの子供さ　Rock’n Roll Doctor
誰も僕をだませない　Rock’n Roll Doctor
僕はあなたの子供さ　Rock’n Roll Doctor
時を越えて歌おう　Rock’n Roll Doctor

      Time for Action!
      Stroll on!
      Hey Hey Hey…
      Get on!

Although it’s been years since then
I’m still stuck in a fever
Because when I knew neither man or woman¹
I was given lots of gifts
 　　The clock I threw away when we first met
 　　has remained frozen in that moment
 　　“Time for Action!!”

There was also a time when I was scared
about people talking behind my back
I’m no longer afraid of being misunderstood
I can dream with my eyes open
 　　I’ve always believed that
 　　I’m an orphan of the universe
 　　“Time for Action!!”

Because I’m your child Rock’n Roll Doctor
Let’s sing across time Rock’n Roll Doctor

You’ve gone to heaven but
the child of revolution remains in high spirits
Today I’ll drink too, making merry
Rock Music almost died　Laugh it off
 　　Chasing purple Mini Coopers
 　　I want to fly all the way into space too
 　　“Time for Action!!”

 　”Come on Guitar Kids, yeah!”

Because I’m your child Rock’n Roll Doctor
No one can fool me Rock’n Roll Doctor
Because I’m your child Rock’n Roll Doctor
Let’s sing across time Rock’n Roll Doctor

 　Time for Action!
 　Stroll on!
 　Hey Hey Hey…
 　Get on!

¹ Rather than a literal interpretation of this line (i.e. literally not knowing a particular man or a particular woman), I personally think that he meant to refer to a time in his childhood when he “had no concept of gender norms”.

Yellow, red and blue lights which don’t know where they’re going
Ambiguous charity-religion billboard
Caught in a downpour with boots sopping wet
Searching for you, I circle round and around in the metro

Help me Darling
You’re the only one who can’t abandon me
Help me Darling
What a bad joke

Funny Funny Panic Funny Funny Panic
Funny Funny Panic Funny Funny Panic

Turning on the TV to ads, drama, the news
I can’t even tie up shoelaces properly
My automatic nervous system is going bust
Punching in your number endlessly

Help me Darling
I’m just a crybaby without you
Help me Darling
What a funny story

Funny Funny Panic Funny Funny Panic

Strip away the pajamas　We can dance the night away
Let me hear the treble　There’s no need for sanity
Toss away the glasses　As if it’s a bad dream
Lemon squeezy　Say hi to mama!

夜の香りがしたたる
罪と恥の目隠しをはずそう
二人のすき間を今夜うめたい
見つめあうごとに一つになってゆこう
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　ゆられるままに
                   Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　全て見せあおう

誰もおまえの気持ちに
触れる事が出来なかったとしても
冷たく閉ざした　心を開いて
重いため息も　今日で終わりにしよう
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　まどろみながら
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　夜に沈もう

おまえといっしょにいられるから
時を忘れ　堕ちてゆける

愛しあえる場所へと
そっと二人で逃げてゆくのもいい
昨日も明日も　今はいらない
シーツをつかんで　甘い呪文をとなえて
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　ゆられるままに
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　全て見せあおう

 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　まどろみながら
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror

おまえといっしょにいられるから

The fragrance of the night trickles out
Let’s remove the blindfolds of sin and shame
I want to bury tonight between the two of us
We’ll become one each time our gazes meet
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　As we rock
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　Let’s show each other everything

Even if no one could ever
touch your emotions
Open the heart you’ve closed so coldly
Let’s bring an end to your heavy sighs today
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　As we slumber
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　Let’s sink into the night

Because I can be together with you
I can forget time and fall away

We could also quietly run away
to a place where we can love each other
Right now we don’t need yesterday nor tomorrow
Hold on to the sheets and sing sweet spells
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　As we rock
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　Let’s show each other everything

 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　As we slumber
 　　　　　Dance into the Mirror
 　　　　　Let’s sink into the night

Because I can be together with you
I can forget time and fall away
Because I can be together with you
I can forget time and fall away

子供の頃の風が
胸を吹き抜けた
もう一度
真夏の幻を探してみたい
役立たずのドリーマー
パレード追い続け
黄金色にむせぶ砂漠で
溺れる夢を見た
 　　Don’t Stop　果てしない　My Way
 　　So Long　愛しい　Sweet Heart

過ぎ去っていったカーニバルは
つかの間の Day Dream
きのう誰かの笑顔さえ
陽炎にゆれる
手をのばせばのばす程
遠くなるオアシス
ぼやけた頭の片隅で
おまえが微笑む
 　　Don’t Stop　果てしない　My Way
 　　So Long　愛しい　Sweet Heart

         I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
         思うまま行かせてくれ
         I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
         道は続いている　どこまでも

蜃気楼が月に溶けたら
猫みたいに震え
焼けた砂の上で
犬みたいに舌を出せばいい
遠い記憶のはてに
答えはあるはず
どこからどこへ
向かって歩いているのか
 　　Don’t Stop　果てしない　My Way
 　　So Long　愛しい　Sweet Heart

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　思うまま行かせてくれ
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　道は続いている
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　思うまま行かせてくれ
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　道は続いている  どこまでも

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl

The wind from my childhood
blew past my chest
As if looking
for a midsummer illusion once more
Useless dreamer
Keep following the parade
In a desert smothered in golden-yellow
I dreamt a dream of drowning
 　　Don’t Stop　My ceaseless Way
 　　So Long　Beloved Sweet Heart

The carnival that’s passed
is a fleeting Day Dream
Even a stranger’s smile from yesterday
shimmers in the heat haze
An oasis that grows ever distant
the more you reach for it
You’re smiling in an obscure corner
of my blurry mind
 　　Don’t Stop　My ceaseless Way
 　　So Long　Beloved Sweet Heart

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　Let me go wherever I want
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　The road goes on
 　　To the ends of the world

When the mirage melts into the moon,
it trembles like a cat
You should stick your tongue out like a dog
on the scorched sands
There are probably answers
on the edges of distant memories
Where from, where to
What direction are you walking in
 　　Don’t Stop　My ceaseless Way
 　　So Long　Beloved Sweet Heart

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　Let me go wherever I want
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　The road goes on
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　Let me go wherever I want
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　The road goes on
 　　To the ends of the world

 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　Let me go wherever I want
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　To a nostalgic future
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Girl
 　　Let me go wherever I want
 　　I’m Just Gypsy Hey, Hey, Boy
 　　To a nostalgic future

灯りを消してくれ
そしてそばに来てほしい
灯りを消してくれ
全てを見たい

少し暑いくらいの部屋で
もう少し酔ったままでいよう
夜に抱かれながら
漂う時には
心は濡れたままがいい
昼は余計な物ばかりが

目に入って来るから
今はただおまえだけを見つめたい

灯りを消してくれ
そしてそばに来てほしい
灯りを消してくれ
全てを見たいから
灯りを消してくれ
そしてそばにいてほしい
灯りを消してくれ
夜の底に沈んで行こう

静かな暗闇に包まれ
息をひそめていよう
昼と夜とのすき間に
迷い込んでみたい
心は震えたままがいい

生まれたままの気持ちの
恋人達の前では
宇宙は無関心にやさしい

灯りを消してくれ
そしてそばに来てほしい
灯りを消してくれ
全てを見たいから
灯りを消してくれ
そしてそばにいてほしい
灯りを消してくれ
夜の底に沈んで行こう

Turn off the lights for me
Then I want you to come be by my side
Turn off the lights for me
I want to see everything

In a room that’s a little warmer than usual
Let’s stay there being a little drunker than usual
While embraced by the night
When we float
Keep your heart enamoured¹
There’s nothing but unnecessary things in the daytime

You’ll come into my field of view so
Just for now, I want to look at nothing but you

Turn off the lights for me
Then I want you to come be by my side
Turn off the lights for me
Because I want to see everything
Turn off the lights for me
Then I want you to come be by my side
Turn off the lights for me
Let’s sink into the depths of the night

Enveloped in the quiet darkness
Let’s hold our breaths
In the space between day and night
I want to try losing myself
Keeping my heart shaken

In front of lovers
Who feel newly born
The universe is indifferent yet kind

Turn off the lights for me
Then I want you to come be by my side
Turn off the lights for me
Because I want to see everything
Turn off the lights for me
Then I want you to come be by my side
Turn off the lights for me
Let’s sink into the depths of the night

Notes:

¹ 心は濡れた (kokoro wa nureta) a grammatical variant of 濡れた心 (nureta kokoro). If we take the two parts of this phrase literally (濡れた and 心), it appears to mean a “drenched heart”. The actual definition of 濡れた心 is “the desire for an amorous relationship”, thus the lyric translation.
