This track was also featured in an album called SCRUM.

The English translation is also official, and is found in the video’s description.

「やあ幸福か？」
「幸福さ……あ、いや。どうも最近さ、
背筋が凝り固まってやってなんてられないな」
「そうか、なんか薬臭いとか思ってたんだけどな。
湿布と麻薬の匂いか、混ざってなんだか解んないや」

“yaa koufuku ka?”
“koufuku sa…… a, iya. doumo saikin sa,
haikin ga korikatamatte yatte nanterarenai na”
“sou ka, nanka kusuri kusai toka omottetan dakedo na.
shippu to mayaku no nioi ka, mazatte nandaka wakannai ya”

“Hey, are you happy?”
“Happy, huh? Ah, nah. You know, lately
my back has gotten all stiff and I can’t bear it!”
“Is that right? I thought you stank of medicine.
The smell of bandages or narcotics… it’s all mixed together and I don’t know.”

「やあ幸福か？」
「幸福さ、この場所がお気に入りだ。
まあフードコートなんてもん何処にでもあるけどさ」
「そうか、そうだ。お前の州じゃクスリは駄目だって？」
「ああ、だからお前のとこまで来てやってるんだろう」

“yaa koufuku ka?”
“koufuku sa, kono basho ga okiniiri da.
maa fuudokooto nante mon doko ni demo aru kedo sa”
“sou ka, sou da. omae no shuu ja kusuri wa dame datte?”
“aa, dakara omae no toko made kite yatterun darou”

“Hey, are you happy?”
“I’m happy. This is my favourite spot.
Well, food courts can be found everywhere, though.”
“Is that right? Okay. Drugs are no good in your area, huh?”
“Yeah, that’s why I’ve come to where you are.”

愛情や友情が本当にあんのかそんなのは解らないや
でも愛情や友情は気持ちいいや　俺は倫理に浸かれる

aijou ya yuujou ga hontou ni anno ka sonna no wa wakaranai ya
demo aijou ya yuujou wa kimochi iiya ore wa rinri ni tsukareru

Do things like love and friendship really exist? I don’t know.
Still, love and friendship feel good. I’m up to my eyes in ethics.

健常だ　正常だ　感情に正当しかないや
本性は　本能は　そんなもん夢ばっかの話さ
健常は　正常は　感情に張り付いておくれ
愛情は　友情は　とめどなく流れ
幸福だ　幸福なんだ俺達は

kenjou da seijou da kanjou ni seitou shikanai ya
honshou wa honnou wa sonna mon yume bakka no hanashi sa
kenjou wa seijou wa kanjou ni haritsuite okure
aijou wa yuujou wa tomedonaku nagare
koufuku da koufuku nanda oretachi wa

I’m in perfect health. I’m normal. My feelings are warranted.
My true nature and instincts are just like that. They’re nothing but dreams.
Perfect health and normality… cling to my feelings!
Love and friendship wash away without end.
We’re happy. We’re happy!

「やあ幸福か？」
「幸福さ、最近クスリ辞めたんだ。
そんなもんが無くてもな、俺は幸せなんだ」
「そうか、そうか、それは良いんじゃないか。
どうだ身体の調子は」
「汚い話で悪いが、最近快便なんだ」

“yaa koufuku ka?”
“koufuku sa, saikin kusuri yametan da.
sonna mon ga nakute mo na, ore wa shiawase nanda”
“sou ka, sou ka, sore wa iin ja nai ka.
dou dakara da no choushi wa”
“kitanai hanashi de warui ga, saikin kaiben nanda”

“Hey, are you happy?”
“I’m happy. I’ve been off the drugs recently.
Even without that stuff, I’m happy.”
“Right, right. Isn’t that great?
How’s your body holding up?”
“It’s a bit gross to talk about, but I’ve been [pooing] smoothly.”

家族皆、笑っていたあの日はもう来ないけどな
それでもさ、生きていくよ
ママが産んでくれた命だから

kazoku mina, waratte ita ano hi wa mou konai kedo na
soredemo sa, ikite iku yo

My family were all smiling. Those days won’t come again, though.
Still, I’m going to live
because my mum gave me this life.

健常だ！　正常だ！　感情に正当しかないや
本性は？　本能は？　そんなもん夢ばっかの話さ
「死にたい」なんて言わないで
見て、こんなに広い世界は
親愛　逢愛　念愛　良愛　絶え間なく溢れ出る

I’m in perfect health! I’m normal! My feelings are warranted.
My true nature? My instincts? They’re all just dreams!
“I wanna die.” Don’t say that!
Look, in this wide world
deep love, the love of meeting, desire, and good love won’t stop flowing out.

“Hey, are you happy?”
“I’m happy. My back’s gotten better.”
“Now that you mention it, why was your back so stiff?”
“Hmm, okay. It’s our farewell so I guess I’ll tell you—
it was from sex twice a week and murder three times a week.”

A note about the title: the official translation is ‘The Wedding Festival’, and the first part of it 婚 (kon) is the same one seen in 結婚 (kekkon – wedding).

An alternative reading of the first part of the title (婚) is yobai. This refers to the act of sneaking into a woman’s bedroom at night to make love with her.

聖域よ　聖域よ　此処から此の場は貴方の聖域よ

O sanctuary, o sanctuary! From this point, this place is your sanctuary.
Vigorously, prosperously, let’s exchange solemn vows.
Guide them, draw them along, and deliver them from hatred and bitterness.
We pray with ignorant howls for it to occur in the blink of an eye.

O semen, o origin! Here, you are Maryam, the God-Bearer.
Calmly, keenly, let’s exchange gasping vows.
O God! O wolf! Those of us who hate and feel bitter towards you
pray with ignorant howls for it to occur in the blink of an eye.

O sanctuary, o sanctuary! Though this place is burned by God’s flames only for now,
Gloriously, gracefully, let’s exchange devout vows.

Apparently iesu means ‘Jesus’, following the religious symbolism we see in so many of Abuse’s works.

I suspect that the last line isn’t intended to mean anything, but please let me know if you have any information suggesting otherwise!

衝堂堂と惨状だけ　目隠し外して　痛い

“doko ni iru no desu ka?” “kowagarazu dete oide”           

There’s nothing but conflict and disastrous scenes. I take off my blindfold and it hurts.
A blow causes brain bruising. Pleasure? A hobby? I search.
“Where are you?” “Come out, don’t be scared…”

体、施錠と手錠だけ　「え、」　蒙昧と稚症に関して

tekitou ni a suriru o doukou to kousai no tsubushi
“doko ga osuki desu ka?” “doko kara kirou ka?”

With a body just locked and handcuffed, it’s a “yes” regarding ignorance and a childhood disease.
I get a thrill from crushing pupils and irises however I want.
“What part do you like?” “Where shall I cut from?”

It hurts, it hurts. In name and reality, and as an excuse, maybe this is the perfect body. I burn with jealousy.
I’m scared, I’m scared. Contact. Seppuku. Yellow card. I set it free.
It’s dark, it’s dark. Revenge, overthrowing. Like that, “like this?” like that, “like this?” wisely…
I hate it, I hate it. With you and you, the centipede is complete. It’s all blocked up.

Alcohol, ethanol, a lump that feels like chlorine.
Don’t drive them off. Now, drive them off. Well, this exorcism is over.

“How should I act?” It’s just a burial. I took off the blindfold and it was dark.
Know. An assault on something beached. The worst? An inconvenience? Handicraft.
How about this? A church? Birth, at full size.
A voyage through the netherworld. Saw. “Shut up!” scream it out for me!

Even though I dance, *tap tap tap*, there’s no way you can see me. (3)
One scene in a movie, an awkward sex scene with real screams.
I wound up obsessed with their voice and the grating of their body.
Airing it is forbidden, after all. It’s the real thing, the real thing! C’mon…

(1) The last section of this line is a play on words: 手 (te – hand), tea, and 手・首 (tekubi – wrist) all sound similar.
(2) shit焼き (shit yaki) was likely chosen because it sounds the same as 嫉妬焼き (shitto yaki), which appears earlier.
(3) The ‘you’ used here (貴女 – anata) is specifically female.

Looking at some more of Abuse’s works makes the underlying religious symbolism that much clearer. The words used are selected very carefully, which unfortunately makes the music that much harder to translate effectively…

「国家の国歌」と詩、謳ってる　平民　農民　踊ってるダンス
ヘテロ飽和で抉った　エイシズム　佇む　アナキズム
誕生五年　ばったり死んでく　父さん母さん　葬送と
「立儲は誰か」と諱で僕を呼んでる　ヘイト父

“kokka no kokka” to uta, utatteru heimin noumin odotteru dansu
hetero houwa de kojitatta eishizumu tatazumu anakizumu
tanjou go nen battari shindeku tousan kasan sousou to
“riccho wa dare ka” to imina de boku o yonderu heito fu

Rejoicing in song and the national anthem, the commoners and farmers dance.
Atheism was gouged out through heterosaturation. Anarchism stands still.
They suddenly drop dead five years from birth. Mother, father and the funeral…
“Who is the Crown Prince?” the father I hate calls for me using my posthumous name.

殿下に政治は不可能で　宰相ファシズム　「ああ、もういや！」                 

そこらで勃発テロリズム　軍服も破れたり　ヘイト頭

sokora de boppatsu terorizumu gunpuku mo yabure tari heito tou

Politics is impossible for His Highness. Fascism emerges from the Prime Minister, “Ah, I can’t stand it!”
Terrorism breaks out everywhere. Military uniforms are all torn up. The leader is hated.

『Hey!　ねえ　勝手に破ってた国家に特化の特攻兵。

“Hey! Specialised kamikazee soldiers are in a selfishly destroyed country.
I, the king, will judge criminals that abuse state power!”
The king, having reached 15, held a large axe with both hands and took the head of the dictator.
The sprechchor blasted out all at once.

「発火の国家」と謂れ合ってる　傾眠　催　狂ってるダンス
ペテロ産まれたんだ　俺の一番弟子「臣民」よ

Known as the “nation of ignition”, they unite. Through drowsiness and hypnosis, they dance madly.
Peter was born, my best pupil and my ‘subject.’
During this killing experiment through an attack of geriatric diseases, the bourgeois are high on pot.
These are grounds for a chart and anatomy. I take back the unofficial offer.

『Hey! ねえ　法を犯しても「立派に生きてました」って

“Hey! C’mon, if you say ‘I lived splendidly’ after breaking the law,
then what about the victim?
This world rewards good and punishes evil.”
The king, aged 20, held the small string hanging before him
and mercilessly pulled his hand.
Neighbouring nations, various nations, intifada.

Conquer, conquer! Everyone, conquer!

I cried, and at the base of my neck

“Milord, from this day I am wed to the ruler’s privilege.
Show respect, ignorant ones!”
The only survivors obey.

鸚鵡が啼いてる地下鉄に独り
ビルに突っ込む魚を見ながら
紅い連合に鉄球投げ付け
狼、蠍と大地の牙から
二・二六から二・二九迄
三つの島にて切腹してるよ
サン＝ドニさんから椅子に座ってる
それでもやっぱり魚は殺すの

oumu ga naiteru chikatetsu ni hitori
biru ni tsukkomu sakana o mi nagara
akai rengou ni tetsudama nagetsuke
ookami, sasori to daichi no kiba kara
ni ni roku kara ni ni kyuu made
mittsu no shima nite seppuku shiteru yo
san doni san kara isu ni suwatteru
soredemo yappari sakana wa korosu no

The parrot chirps alone in the subway
while looking at the fish thrust into the station.
Throw an iron ball at the red alliance
from the fangs of wolves, scorpions and the earth.
From February 26 to 29,
they commit harakiri through three islands.
From Saint Denis, I sit in the chair.
Still, I definitely killed those fish.

僕等は愛を知りたいから
僕等の首を絞めて生きてんの

bokura wa ai o shiritai kara
bokura no kubi o shimete ikiten no

Because we want to experience love
we live while strangling ourselves.

This time, the translation request was accompanied by a request to translate some text from the video – this is included below the song translation. As a side note, the main character’s name is apparently Ito. Ote, the wolf from Christ, is also referred to in the video text.

なあ　愛してるって何回言ったっけ？
ほら　「Bye Bye」なんて言葉で撃っちゃって
もっかい愛してるって Say 誠意 言ってみて
嗚呼　真赤な頬だ　貴方とは
遊びたいだけで

naa aishiteru tte nankai itta kke?
hora “Bye Bye” nante kotoba de ucchatte
mokkai aishiteru tte Say sei’i itte mite
aa makka na hoho da anata to wa
asobitai dake de

Hey, how many times have I told you I love you?
Come on, you’ve just shot them down with your “bye byes.”
I’ll try saying I love you again in good faith.
Ah… my cheeks are all red.
I just want to play with you.

おはよう　朝餉の準備も済んで　朝を眩い　眼を焦がして
挨拶と神父と君としかめっ面にキスをして
ジャム取って　バターを付けて　「寝癖直ってないよ」って
後ろ髪を少し触った

ohayou asage no junbi mo sunde asa o mabayui me o kogashite
aisatsu to shinpu to kimi to shikamettsura ni kisu o shite
jamu totte bataa o tsukete “neguse naottenai yo” tte
ushirogami o sukoshi sawatta

Good morning! I finish making breakfast. The morning is dazzling and it burns my eyes.
I greet you and Father with a grimace and a kiss. (1)
I take the jam and spread some butter. “Look, you haven’t fixed your bed hair!”
I touched the hair at the back of my head a bit.

花の戦争に　徴兵された家族が死んでいくとして
そんなのは許されないさ　生きる意味をそれぞれ持ってんだ
なあ神父さん　皆を傷つける奴は俺が壊してやるからさ
心配しないでいて

hana no sensou ni chouhei sareta kazoku ga shinde iku toshite
sonna no wa yurusarenai sa ikiru imi o sorezore motte nda
naa tousan minna o kizutsukeru yatsu wa ore ga kowashite yaru kara sa
shinpai shinaide ite

Thinking that my family, conscripted to the flower war, will go to their deaths…
that’s not allowed! Everyone has their own reason to live.
Hey Father, I’ll destroy those people who hurt everyone
so there’s no need to worry!

なあ　愛してるって何回言ったっけ？
ああ　「Lie Lie」なんて言葉で痴っちゃって
だったら愛してるって丁寧にイっちゃって
嗚呼　あっけらかんな貴方とは
遊びたいけど

naa aishiteru tte nankai itta kke?
aa “Lie Lie” nante kotoba de shicchatte
dattara aishiteru tte teinei ni icchatte
aa akkerakan na anata to wa
asobitai kedo

C’mon, how many times have I said “I love you”?
Ah, I became aware through those words, “lie, lie.”
 So, I wound up saying “I love you” politely.
Ah, I just want to play with you,
you and your blank face.

花戦争は　満開へ、今満開へ
花戦争は　毎晩ね、ほらお盛んね
花戦争は　満開へ、今満開へ
花戦争は　今晩は、ほらもう駄目だ

hana sensou wa mankai e, ima mankai e
hana sensou wa maiban ne, hora osakan ne
hana sensou wa mankai e, ima mankai e
hana sensou wa konban wa, hora mou dame da

The flower war approaches full bloom, full bloom now.
The flower war is so popular, each and every night.
The flower war approaches full bloom, full bloom now.
The flower war… See, it’s no good now. Not tonight.

おはよう　朝餉の準備も済んだ　朝に喰らい　瞳を焦がした
挨拶を神父と君に　今日は彼等に触れない日
ジャム取って　ビターになって
本当に愛してる

ohayou asage no junbi mo sunda asa ni kurai me o kogashita
aisatsu o shinpu to kimi ni kyou wa karera ni furenai hi
jamu totte bitaa ni natte
hontou ni aishiteru

Good morning! I’ve finished making breakfast. Devoured by the morning sun, it burned my eyes.
I greet Father and you. Today, the sun’s rays don’t touch them.
I take the jam, and things become so bitter.
I really love you.

だから善悪は怖いと思う　君が断末魔を上げた時
「愛してる」って恥かし気も無く言える　そんな気がするよ
でもどうだろな　本当にどうだろうな

dakara zen’aku wa kowai to omou kimi ga danmatsuma o ageta toki
“aishiteru” tte hazukashige mo naku ieru sonna ki ga suru yo
demo dou darou na hontou ni dou darou na

After all, I think good and evil are scary. When you raise a cry of agony at your death
that’s when you can say “I love you” without shame. At least, that what it feels like.
But I wonder. I really wonder.

なあ　愛してるって難解だったっけ？
この　song sang　狂ったように
ほら　『愛してる！！』
だったら　Bye Bye 大丈夫？って
ねえ　ねえ　泣かないで
「責任取れよ」

naa aishiteru tte nankai datta kke?
kono song sang kurutta you ni
hora “aishiteru!!”
dattara Bye Bye daijoubu? tte
nee nee nakanaide
“sekinin tore yo”

Hold on, “I love you” was something unintelligible all along?
I sang this song like I’d gone mad.
See? “I love you!!”
So, is it okay to say bye bye?
C’mon, c’mon, don’t cry.
“Take responsibility!”

本能だってさ本望だってさ
銃口向けられ三秒間
壊してヤっても壊してヤっても
快感なんて忘れていくんだ
焦燥　混濁　詠唱　諦観
君の首を絞めてた
にやけた顔でさ　あの歌を
「愛してる」

honnou datte sa honmou datte sa
juukou mukerare sanbyoukan
kowashite yattemo kowashite yattemo
kaikan nante wasurete iku nda
shousou kondaku eishouteikan
kimi no kubi o shimeteta
niyaketa kao de sa ano uta o
“aishiteru”

It’s instinct, it’s a long-held ambition after all.
The muzzle was aimed at me for three seconds.
Though I destroy them, though I destroy them,
I’m forgetting how good it feels.
Impatience. Chaos. Chanting. Resignation.
I strangled you.
With a grin, I sing that song:
“I love you.”

なあ　愛してるって何回もいったんだ
ほら　「Bye Bye」もうすぐだってば　いっちゃって！
もっかい　愛してるって　Say 誠意　言ってみて？
「?⁇⁇?」

naa aishiteru tte nankai mo itta nda
hora “Bye Bye” mou sugu datteba icchatte!
mokkai aishiteru tte Say sei’i itte mite?
“??????”

Well, I’ve said “I love you” time and time again.
C’mon, it’s too soon for “bye bye!” You’ve gone and said it!
 How about trying to say “I love you” sincerely once more?
“?????”

なあ　愛してるって何回も言ったよな
でも　こんなんじゃ神様　酷いかな
皆　愛してるから
　　愛してるから
　　愛してる
ああ

naa aishiteru tte nankai mo itta yo na
demo konnan ja kamisama hidoi ka na
minna aishiteru kara
aishiteru kara
aishiteru
aa

C’mon, I’ve said “I love you” so many times
but for things to be like this… God sure is cruel.
In the end, I love you all.
I love you
I love you, so…
Ah…

花戦争は　満開だ、もう満開だ
花戦争は　終われない、まだ終わらない
花戦争は　満開だ、ほら満開だ
花戦争は　終わりを迎えずに

hana sensou wa mankai da, mou mankai da
hana sensou wa owarenai, mada owaranai
hana sensou wa mankai da, hora mankai da
hana sensou wa owari o mukaezu ni

The flower war is in full bloom. It’s in full bloom now.
The flower war can’t end. It’s not over yet.
The flower war is in full bloom. See? It’s in full bloom.
The flower war doesn’t approach its end.

(1) 神父 (shinpu, Reverend Father) is used throughout, but is also sung as とうさん (tousan, dad) in some parts of the song. It’s been translated as ‘Father’ here to keep both meanings.

ホン卜ウにアイしてるからオレが守らなくちゃ
オイシイと守るをキモチイイっていうらしい
「アイしてる」これはホン卜ウ。
ゼッ夕イユルサナイゼッ夕イユルサナイ
ヒ卜もみんなキモチがいいからすきだな
大丈夫 オレがいるよ愛?愛?愛?

I really love you, so I’ve gotta protect you.
How delicious. I’ll protect you. Looks like they’re saying “this feels so good.”
“I love you.” This is the truth.
I’ll never forgive you, I’ll never forgive you.
Humans all feel so good so I love them.
It’s fine, I’m here. Love? Love? Love?

カゾクは大ジだからとうさんをバ力にするヤツを全員たヲした
ばれない ばれないよ
アイツらはダメだ ー人じゃだめ
オテをコロそうとしたヤツは全員クってゃった
オイシさはオイシイね

My family’s important to me, so I defeated all those who made fun of Father.
Nobody will know, nobody will know.
They’re no good. It’s no good to be alone.
I ate all those people who tried to kill Ote.
Tastiness is so delicious.

心から愛してるこの欲は洗うベき? 流すベき?
どうせ人権がないのなら 喰う ヤる 壊す 殺す

Should I cleanse myself of this lust I love so much? Should I wash it away?
If they’ve got no rights, I’ll eat, kill, destroy, and murder.

汚れたこの手では家族に触れない。
気持ち良いの白濁と涎が垂れる血に

I won’t touch my family with my dirty hands.
It feels so good. Cloudy liquid and drool drips down in blood.

Don’t kill children, right?

[???] なら大丈夫だよ 大丈夫 [???]
子供をコロさなかったから 子供をコロさなかったから? なんでだょ

“???”, if that’s so, it’s fine. It’s fine “???”
In the end, I didn’t kill the children. Because I didn’t kill the children? Why?

やられた うたれたんだ いたい いたい いたい
家族をまもりたいだけなのに頭がぽーっとする

I’ve been done in. I was shot. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.
I just wanted to protect my family, but my head’s so blank now.
