Four Nights (Yottsu no Yoru)

Lyrics: ISSAY

Music: Mari Fukuhara

Japanese

夜のヴェールを纏うヴィーナス
ふり向いたのは影だけ
一人きり震えてはそっとグラスを空けて
こぼれてく涙隠していた

灯りを消して踊るヴィーナス
孤独な影は向かい合う
永遠の愛情をそっとグラスに満たし
一息に飲んで酔うのもいい

巡り巡る孤独
青く沈む夜空
巡り巡る出会い
赤く溶ける心
巡り巡る宴
宵闇は紫
巡り巡る別れ
白く刻む時間
全ては変わるもの

仮面と服を脱いだヴィーナス
罪と恥らいは媚薬さ
痛みほどの快楽をそっとグラスに注ぎ
二人きり堕ちてゆくのもいい

巡り巡る孤独
青く沈む夜空
巡り巡る出会い
赤く溶ける心
巡り巡る宴
宵闇は紫
巡り巡る別れ
白く刻む時間
全ては色あせる

鏡の中で割れるヴィーナス
時は残酷に過ぎてく
裏切りと後悔でそっとグラスを落とし
降り積もる灰に白く染まる

巡り巡る孤独
青く沈む夜空
巡り巡る出会い
赤く溶ける心
巡り巡る宴
宵闇は紫
巡り巡る別れ
白く刻む時間
全ては消えてゆく

Venus, clothed in the veil of the night
Turning around, only shadows are seen
Trembling alone, I quietly empty my glass
Hiding the tears that fall

Venus, dancing with the lights turned off
Lonesome shadows face each other
An eternal love quietly fills my glass
Drinking in one mouthful, I’ll gladly intoxicate myself

Solitude, coming and going,
under a night sky sinking blue
Fateful encounters, coming and going,
with a heart melting red
Parties, coming and going,
in a twilight glowing purple
Farewells, coming and going, through time whittling white
Everything changes

Venus, stripped of her mask and clothes
Sin and shame, like an aphrodisiac
Pleasure akin to pain quietly pours into my glass
Just us two, I’ll gladly fall with you

Solitude, coming and going,
under a night sky sinking blue
Fateful encounters, coming and going,
with a heart melting red
Parties, coming and going,
in a twilight glowing purple
Farewells, coming and going,
through time whittling white
Everything fades away

Venus, shattered in the mirror
Time continues it’s cruel flow
By betrayal and regret, I quietly drop my glass
Steeped in white by the ash lying thick on the ground

Solitude, coming and going, 
under a night sky sinking blue
Fateful encounters, coming and going,
with a heart melting red
Parties, coming and going,
in a twilight glowing purple
Farewells, coming and going,
through time whittling white
Everything disappears

裸で踊る月
滴る星
僕を濡らしてく
時計の針は2時で止まる
亜熱帯のフロアー
猥褻なまなざし
孤独な歌
心をかきむしる
熱情のキス
欲しがる影
夜の扉開く

欲望の香りが立ちこめる
気のふれたふりをして踊っていよう

このまま沈んでゆきたい
ボルドーの夢の中
抱きしめるとすぐに消える
ボルドーの夢の中へ

ブラウスははだけた女達のけたたましい声
螺旋の夢を滑り落ちるゼリーと時間達

虚しく明日を迎えるなら
この夜を飲み干し全てを捨てよう

このまま溶けてしまいたい
ボルドーの夢の中
抱きしめるとすぐに消える
ボルドーの夢の中へ

虚しく明日を迎えるなら
気のふれたふりをして踊っていよう

このまま沈んでゆきたい
ボルドーの夢の中
抱きしめるとすぐに消える
ボルドーの夢の中
このまま溶けてしまいたい
ボルドーの夢の中
抱きしめるとすぐに消える
ボルドーの夢の中へ

By: Yoshiyuki

I am doused by the drizzling stars and the moon dancing naked
On this subtropical floor, clock hands frozen at 2 o’clock
My heart is torn by your salacious gaze, your forlorn song
A kiss of passion with the silhouette I yearn for, and the doors of the night swing open

Shrouded in a perfume of desire
Let’s dance like we’ve lost our minds

In a dream of Bordeaux, let me drown and drift away
Into a dream of Bordeaux, we’ll embrace and fade away

Shrill voices of women with their blouses fluttering open
In the hours that slide by like jelly in a spiraling dream

If we were to greet an empty tomorrow
Let’s drink this night dry and throw it all away

In a dream of Bordeaux, let me melt away
Into a dream of Bordeaux, we’ll embrace and fade away

If we were to greet an empty tomorrow
Let’s dance like we’ve lost our minds

In a dream of Bordeaux, let me drown and drift away
In a dream of Bordeaux, we’ll embrace and fade away
In a dream of Bordeaux, let me melt away
Into a dream of Bordeaux, we’ll embrace and fade away

シルクの月と  
ビーズの星に
心躍る時
役者のように  
花束を抱いて
君を探しましょう
愛しい嘘が輝きはじめ
今宵は誰もが名前を捨て去り華やぐ

カルナバルの妖精よ歌え素敵な恋の歌を
はだけた心を集めながら酔いしれて、このまま

道化師達は
笑いの仮面
決して外さない
人混みの中
まだ来ぬ君の
影を探しましょう
愛しい嘘が輝き続け
誰もが浮かれて花咲く一夜の幻

カルナバルの妖精よ踊れやさしい恋の歌で
こわれた時間を集めながら酔いしれて、このまま

やるせない思い
見知らぬ君が
回るメリーゴーランド
緑の酒を
砂糖にたらし
一人夢を見よう
愛しい嘘が輝きなくし
今宵の終わりに奏でる切なきヴィオロン

カルナバル…カルナバル…
浮かんで消えてく一夜の幻

An escapade under a silken moon and beads of stars
Cradling a bouquet like a thespian, I search for you
As tender lies begin to shine
Tonight, everyone is in high spirits, forgetting their names

Sing, oh goblins* of the Carnaval, sing an enchanting song of love
Becoming intoxicated as we are while gathering hearts laid bare

The clowns will never remove their laughing masks
I search for your absent silhouette in the shifting crowds of people
As tender lies continue to shine
Everyone is euphoric, blooming in a phantasmagorical night

Dance, oh goblins* of the Carnaval, dance to a mellow song of love
Becoming intoxicated as we are while gathering fractured time

Desolate thoughts are a revolving merry-go-round for the stranger that you are
Pouring emerald liquor over sugar, I dream alone
As tender lies lose their shine
As this night ends, a despondent violin weeps

Carnaval… Carnaval…
A phantasmagorical night drifts away and disappears

Purple Night (Murasaki no Yoru)

Lyrics: ISSAY

Japanese

部屋の灯り消して
何もかも見せておくれ
罪と恥じらい弄んで沈んでゆこう
冷たい唇から
火の酒を注いでくれ
昨日忘れ明日をなくし漂いたい

運命のすすり泣き聞こえるから

紫の宵闇に酔いつぶれてしまおう
何もかも崩れてくさだめだから

快楽の飛沫で
この夜を濡らしてくれ
珊瑚礁の部屋の中に墜ちてゆこう
閉ざした鍵穴を
バターで溶かしておくれ
腐る前の甘い香りを味わいたい

運命の朽ち果てる音がするから

紫の稲妻につらぬかれてしまおう
何もかも壊してくさだめだから

運命の足音が遠ざかってく

紫の毒薬を飲み干してしまおう
何もかも消えてゆくさだめだから
運命に見放された紫の夜

Turn off the lights in this room and show me everything
Sink with me as we toy with sin and shame
Pour fiery liquor from your chilly lips
I want to float, so intoxicated that I forget yesterday and lose tomorrow

For I can hear the weeping of fate

Let’s drink ourselves into oblivion in this purple twilight
For everything is destined to crumble

Drench this night in a spray of pleasure
Let’s crash in a coral reefed room
Melt the closed keyhole with butter
I wish to taste the sweet fragrance that precedes rot

For I hear the sound of fate falling to ruins

Let’s be struck by purple lightning
For everything is destined to break

The footsteps of fate grow faint

Let’s drink dry this purple poison
For everything is destined to disappear
In this purple night abandoned by fate

夜の帷が降りれば

今宵の出し物をとくと
その節穴の眼でどうぞ

When the curtain of night descends,
a spectacular show begins
Where lies become truth,
and truth becomes lie
That’s right, this is a mad world

Welcome to CABARET NOIR
Do enjoy yourself until the end,
however you please

When tonight’s performance unravels,
do peep through the knothole’s vista
Where darkness becomes light,
and light becomes darkness
That’s right, that is the kind of world this is

Welcome to CABARET NOIR
Do enjoy yourself until the end

Within a medley of suspense and anticipation,
do have a splendid time
Where fantasy becomes reality, yet is reality but a fantasy
That’s right, this is a mad world

Welcome to CABARET NOIR
Do enjoy yourself until the end, however you please
A round of applause, please
