日本語

絶望的希望の喜劇的tragedy
ダレニモナイショ
キミと僕の嘘と真実(ほんと)
裏も表も白も黒も
愛も哀も逢いも飽いも
IもMYも曖も昧な
全てを語りましょう

とある裕福な国家
冷酷冷徹な王子は嫌われていた
不遜で傍若無人で浪費の激しさを
嘆く家臣

ある日から流れたひとつの噂話
彼には秘密の双子の兄が居ると
探し探し探し探し出して
彼と彼とを入れ替えればいい

こんな荒唐無稽な陰謀計画
そんな事も知らない冷酷王子
それは歌劇的喜劇のtragedy
こんな暗中模索の壮大探索
そんな事も知らない隠蔽王子
それは過激的悲劇の喜劇の
始まりを告げる調べ
もう止められない
ああ

キミと僕の嘘と真実(ほんと)
裏も表も白も黒も
愛も哀も逢いも飽いも
IもMYも曖も昧な……

とある街外れの深い森の
奥の小屋で暮らす青年
ついに見つけた彼が
捨てられた秘密の
双子の兄で

屋敷に連れられ仕込まれるマナー教養
勝負は舞踏会そこでバレなければ
踊り踊り踊り踊り踊らされて
彼と彼とを取り替えればいい

こんな荒唐無稽な陰謀計画
そんな事も知らない冷酷王子
それは歌劇的喜劇のtragedy
こんな前途多難の壮大転換
そんな事も知らない隠蔽王子
それは過激的悲劇の喜劇の
始まりを告げる調べ
もう止められない

「踊って頂けませんか?」

キミと僕の嘘と真実(ほんと)
裏も表も白も黒も 「ナイショさ……」

こんな荒唐無稽な陰謀計画
そして全てを知る幽閉王子
それは歌劇的喜劇のtragedy
こんな奇想天外の壮大転換
そして全てを知る仮面王子
それは過激的悲劇の喜劇の
始まりを告げる調べ
もう止められない

Translation

This is the comical tragedy of hopeless hope
and it’s a secret.
This truth and lie is yours and mine.
Back and front, black and white,
love and sorrow, meeting and being fed up,
I and my, and vague and unclear… (1)
let’s talk about it all!

In a certain wealthy nation
a cruel, cool-headed prince was despised.
His vassals deplored his arrogance and insolence
and his extravagant violence.

A rumour has been spreading since back then.
They say he has a secret elder twin brother.
If only they could seek, seek, seek him out
and swap the two of them around.

It was such an absurd conspiracy
and the cruel prince knew nothing about it.
It was an operatic, comedic tragedy.
It was a grand search, fumbling in the dark with no clues
and the hidden prince knew nothing about it.
It was a melody that marked the start
of this comedy of radical tragedy.
It can’t be stopped now.
Ah…

This truth and lie is yours and mine.
Back and front, black and white,
love and sorrow, meeting and being fed up,
I and my, and vague and unclear…

In a deep forest on the outskirts of a certain town
a young man was living in a cabin.
He, who had been found at last,
was the secret elder twin
who had been cast aside.

He was taken to the mansion and taught etiquette.
The true bout would be the ball. If he wasn’t found out there…
Dance, dance, dance, dance, and be made to dance!
Just swap the two of them.

It was such an absurd conspiracy
and the cruel prince knew nothing about it.
It was an operatic, comedic tragedy.
It was a grand search, fumbling in the dark with no clues
and the hidden prince knew nothing about it.
It was a melody that marked the start
of this comedy of radical tragedy.
It can’t be stopped now.

“Won’t you dance with me?”

This truth and lie is yours and mine.
Back and front, black and white. “It’s a secret…”

It was such an absurd conspiracy
and the imprisoned prince knew all about it.
It was an operatic, comedic tragedy.
It was such an incredible, grand switchover
and the masked prince knew all about it.
It was a melody that marked the start
of this comedy of radical tragedy.
It can’t be stopped now.


Translator’s note

(1) This line continues the wordplay from the previous line, where all the words are pronounced ‘ai’. 曖 and 昧 (ai and mai – vague and unclear) sound the same as I and MY and come together to form 曖昧 (aimai – ambiguous).
