歌詞

成敗!
曇天模様の鬼胎
どれほど凄惨なんだい
斬り離される寸前
すごく痛かったんだろうね

晴天模様の腐敗
あれほど縋りついた生
引き剥がされる瞬間
本当に怖かったんだろうね
ね。

死人に口出し 運命に情無し
私を悼んだ、あなたにお見舞い!

いじらしい抵抗にやられたんだ
あまりにもかわいそうだった
この時代なら まともな死だって
あっさり受け入れられたらなぁ…

退廃!
斑点模様の「痛い」
あれほど齧りついた敵
突き崩されて暗転
きっと悔しかったろうね
ねえ…

あなたはずるい あなたが欲しい。
わたしを悼んだ あなた、わたしとおそろい。

“かわいそう”を創造して

(妄想 扇動 愛情 胎動
本能 混同 本性 混合)

破壊力に平伏して

(気道 圧迫 脈動 抹殺
絶望 同調 絶息 結合)

こっそり仕舞って
(腐り果てた)
実に一途でありふれた願い
(時代遅れで冷め切った私は
打ち捨てられて泥だらけ

いたましい斬り口を愛したんだ
本当にかわいそうじゃないか…!
この時代に君らしく生きた
あっさり受け入れられないや…
やっぱり赦してはくれないか…

あなたらしい哀れみに惹かれたんだ
安っぽい”友情”を味わって
“あなたが悼んでくれたから”
わたしと同じ穴の貉で、
同じ墓穴の骸だ。

Translation

Judgement!
I’ve got premonitions of cloudy weather.
How ghastly will it be?
I’m on the brink of being decapitated.
It’s gonna hurt so badly.

The signs of sunny weather rot away.
I clung so tightly to life.
To be honest, I was scared
of the moment it’d be torn away.
Right?

Dead men tell tales. Fate is emotionless. (1)
I’ll pay a visit to you, who grieved me!

I was done in by pathetic resistance.
How pitiful I was.
If only I could easily accept an honest death
in times like this…

Corruption!
I feel speckled pain
from my foe who bit into me that much.
I was knocked down and I blacked out.
It must have been so annoying.
Come on…

You’re so sneaky. I want you.
You grieved for me. You and I are the same.

I create something pitiful.

(Delusion. Sedition. Love. Quickening.
Instinct. Confusion. True nature. Mixture.)

I prostrate myself before destructive power.

(Airway. Pressure. Pulsation. Obliteration.
Despair. Conformity. Death. Union.)

Hide me away.
(All rotted away.)
That was my ordinary, wholehearted wish.
(I was behind the times and ice cold.
I was thrown away, covered in grime.)

I loved that tragic blade wound.
Aren’t you pitiful…!
You lived your own way in this era.
It can’t be accepted easily…
You definitely won’t forgive me, will you…?

I was attracted to your pity, which was so like you.
I tasted cheap friendship.
“Because you mourned me,”
we were like two animals in the same den,
two corpses in the same grave.

    Do you still plan on making edits to this and 首/Head? I know you’re probably busy, but I want to make sure that you didn’t forget. Thank you again and my apologies for my impatience!

      Thank you for checking back in on this! I had another think about it and I’m going to prioritise my backlog of requests. I won’t go back to redo these.

    By the way, is it okay if I ask you about some of the grammar? I made my own translation of this before you posted yours so I could see how much I had improved and there’s some things I’m still confused on even after trying to do research on my own. Thank you again for translating this for me!!

        Thank you so much!

        So this song connects to 首/Head (which I probably should’ve mentioned beforehand- my apologies!) and I felt that this was Una talking to GUMI.
        I interpreted だろうね as acting similar to か, so “斬り離される寸前 / すごく痛かったんだろうね” I translated as “The moment before you were decapitated / It was awfully painful for you, wasn’t it?”

        Similarly, 引き剥がされる瞬間 / 本当に怖かったんだろうね / ね。 I took as “The second that it was ripped off / That was really scary for you, wasn’t it? / It was.” though since GUMI strangled Una, I could also see this specific line as Una asking GUMI if she was afraid of having her lingering attachments to love and dreams be cut away.

        突き崩されて暗転 / きっと悔しかったろうね I interpreted as “Being knocked down by a sudden turn for the worst / Was definitely disappointing, wasn’t it?”, with the line before I took as Una biting into her foe (GUMI).

        腐り果てた I felt was in reference to the line 腐り果てた私の夢 in 首, so I got “They (dreams) had been corrupted.”

        I also felt that “かわいそう”を創造して and 破壊力に平伏して were more of commands, though I know that the て form could just mean ている as well.

        Thank you for your time and my apologies for the lengthy message! 😅

          That’s okay! I always enjoy getting these sorts of messages since they help us get closer to what the lyricist is trying to convey. I think you raise really good points.

          Looking at the される寸前 parts, I chose to keep it in the present tense but didn’t do enough research to see how it’s actually used – and I think your interpretation of it is more accurate to how it’s actually used. Better still, you’ve got a clear reason behind why you think that way, and you’ve compared it to another song by the same composer too!

          You raise a good point about 腐り果てた too. Since it appears in another song consistency is good. I must admit I’m still not sure about how to handle “かわいそう”を創造して…

          I had another look through 首/Head and I already spotted a few things I’d reword in both songs (^_^); So thanks again for your comment!
