日本語

もう何も聞こえなくなってしまえば良い

もう誰も信じやしない
そう言って消えてゆく

骸は丸呑みに
涙は流れずに
恐怖は置き去りに
ただ息をするだけ

冬はとうに訪れていた
懐の蛇は未だ眠らず

もう何も見えなくなってしまえば良い

いつか君も信じはしない
そう言って溶けてゆく

風も雨も止んだ
秘密は暴かれた
事実は隠された
咥えた尾を放す

秋はとうに終わりを告げていた
懐の蛇は未だ眠らず

もう何も感じなくなってしまえば良い

もう皆の事も忘れ
生きたまま死んでいた

もう眠る その時だろうと知っている

ねえ どうかその剣を
錆びる前に突き立てて

Romanisation

mou nani mo kikoenaku natte shimaeba ii

mou dare mo shinji ya shinai
sou itte kiete yuku

mukuro wa marunomi ni
namida wa nagarezu ni
kyoufu wa okizari ni
tada iki o suru dake

fuyu wa tou ni otozurete ita
futokoro no hebi wa imada nemurazu

mou nani mo mienaku natte shimaeba ii

itsuka kimi mo shinji wa shinai
sou itte tokete yuku

kaze mo ame mo yanda
himitsu wa abakareta
jijitsu wa kakusareta
kuwaeta o hanasu

aki wa tou ni owari o tsugete ita
futokoro no hebi wa imada nemurazu

mou nani mo kanjinaku natte shimaeba ii

mou minna no koto mo wasure
ikita mama shinde ita

mou nemuru sono toki darou to shitte iru

nee douka sono ken o
sabiru mae ni tsuki tatete

Translation

It’s fine if I can no longer hear anything.

Nobody can possibly believe you anymore.
Saying that, you fade away.

My corpse is swallowed whole.
I do not shed tears.
I leave my fear behind
and just breathe.

Winter arrived long ago.
The snake in my pocket still does not rest.

It’s fine if I can no longer see anything.

Someday, you won’t believe either.
Saying that, you fade away.

The wind and rain have stopped, too.
The secret has been uncovered.
The truth has been hidden.
I release the tail in my mouth.

Autumn marked its end long ago.
The snake in my pocket still does not rest.

It’s fine if I can no longer feel anything.

Forget about everyone already.
I was dead while remaining alive.

I’ll sleep now. I know that the time is probably ripe.

Hey, before your blade rusts
please thrust it into me.

    Hello. Thank you for your translation.

    > 骸は丸呑みに
    > kara wa marunomi ni
    > My shed skin is swallowed whole.

    “骸” is read “むくろ” here and usually means “(dead) body”.

      Thanks (^_^) I didn’t get a chance to double-check the romanisation so went with kara following the snake theme.

      It’s good to know mukuro is used instead – I’ve updated the romanisation and translation!
