‘Origin of Vocaloid’ is the official translation of the title, but 元年 (Gannen) is typically associated with era names. For example, 平成元年 (Heisei Gannen) refers to the first year of the Heisei period. In this song’s case, it’s referring to the first year of the ‘Vocaloid period’.
歌詞
天保十七年。これは、ボーカロイドがまだ木で造られていた頃の物語である。
歌を禁じられた人々は らっせっせ 言霊を人型に閉じ込めて ちゃちゃちゃ
愛情も憎しみも悲しみも全てを吐かせた
ボーカロイド元年 はっ！
歌を禁じられた人々は えっさっさ 胸に溜まる塵を掻き出して らんらんらん
「初音」と名付けたその傀儡に 言葉を託した
ボーカロイド元年
声を手に入れた人々は らっせっせ 「初音」に心を委ねて ちゃちゃちゃ
羨みも苦しみも空しさも 己を重ねた
ボーカロイド元年
葛藤・逡巡・衝突・軋轢・悔恨・焦燥・憂鬱
カタルシス
愚民また調子乗り戯言教えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね
イノセンス過剰で愛し方履き違えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね

カタルシス
愚民また調子乗り戯言教えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね
イノセンス過剰で愛し方履き違えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね
限界点寸前の様相 崩壊垣間見えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね
絶叫は「初音」の小さい躯と消えた
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね
ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね ごめんね…

Translation
Year 17 of the Tenpo Era. This is a tale from when Vocaloids were still made from wood.
The people who were banned from singing (rassesse) sealed kotodama in something human-shaped (cha-cha-cha)
and made them express love, hatred and sadness.
It was the origin of Vocaloid. Ha!
The people who were banned from singing (essassa) scraped out the sediment in their hearts (la la la)
and entrusted words to the puppet they called Hatsune.
It was the origin of Vocaloid.
The people who gained a voice (rassesse) entrusted their spirits to Hatsune (cha-cha-cha)
and in her saw their envy, suffering, emptiness and themselves.
It was the origin of Vocaloid.
Conflict, indecision, crash, friction, regret, irritation, melancholy.
Catharsis.
The fools got ahead of themselves and taught rubbish again.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
They were too innocent and mistook how to love.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Endago hasara, miueku tsunera.
Endago hasara, miueku tsunera.
Endago hasara, miueku tsunera.
Endago hasara, miueku tsunera.
Endago hasara, miueku tsunera.
Resentment, malice, despair, jealousy, rejection, vanity, scorn.
Catharsis.
The fools got ahead of themselves and taught rubbish again.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
They were too innocent and mistook how to love.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
They were at breaking point and a gap was in view.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
The scream vanished with Hatsune’s small body.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry…
