酒の味
苦いだけ
苦しみを忘れたいだけ
革命児の幻を追い
なぜつきまとう
Der Rhein
時を経て
この街の
うわささえ
聞かないのさ
革命児の幻を追い
なぜつきまとう
Der Rhein
Ah… Ah…
回る回る…
急な河を風が遡る
まわるまわる
部屋は青いままで
まわるまわる
肌は透けたままで
まわるまわる
霧は深いままで
まわるまわる
森はまつげ伏せて
まわるまわる
星が 月が 時を超える
靴音が近づくよ
このあたり
血の海だった
血まみれピエロ
なぜつきまとう
俺は叫ぶ
Get Out!
影だけが振り向いた
一夜だけ
女の…夢
川の流れは
時の流れか
俺は叫ぶ
Der Rhein
回る回る…
まわるまわる
時が 夢が
まわるまわる
人が 海が
I’m so happy, Boys…

English

In the taste of liquor
lies nothing but bitterness,
nothing but the desire to forget the pain
Chasing the phantom of the children of revolution
Why does it haunt me
Der Rhein
As time passes,
I don’t even listen
to the gossip in
this city no more
Chasing the phantom of the children of revolution
Why does it haunt me
Der Rhein
Ah… Ah…
Turning and spinning…
The wind goes up along the precipitous river
Turning and spinning
While the room is still blue*
Turning and spinning
While your skin is still translucent
Turning and spinning
While the fog is still thick
Turning and spinning
While the forest is still asleep**
Turning and spinning
The stars, the moon, they’re timeless
The sound of footsteps draw close
Hereaway was
the sea of blood
Bloodsoaked pierrot
Why does it haunt me
I scream
Get Out!
Only shadows turned around
in this one-night stand,
a woman’s… dream
Is the flow of the river
the passage of time?
I scream
Der Rhein
Turning and spinning…
Turning and spinning
The time… Our dreams…
Turning and spinning
The people… The sea…
I’m so happy, Boys…
Notes:
* Reminded me of 青い部屋 (Blue Room). Read more in the notes here
** In the phrase ‘まつげ伏せて’, ‘まつげ’ means eyelashes, while ‘伏せて’ means ‘to put (something) face down’ or ‘ to keep (something) a secret/hide a fact’.
Here, ‘asleep’ was chosen to be the translation due to both the literal image and figurative expression.
