閉塞感 我こそがまさに
「はい、そうです」 独り言の権化
自らを辱める声を 封じた先に行きついた部屋

heisokukan ware koso ga masa ni
“hai, sou desu” hitorigoto no gonge
mizukara o hazukashimeru koe o fuujita saki ni ikitsuita heya

Feeling trapped? That’s exactly how I feel.
“Yes, that’s right,” this is the embodiment of a monologue.
They arrived at that room before sealing away the voice shaming themselves.

いいんです いいんです
それなら断ってしまえば
ちょうだい ちょうだい
こんなはずじゃなかったのに

ii ndesu ii ndesu
sore nara kotowatte shimaeba
choudai choudai
konna hazu ja nakatta noni

It’s fine. It’s fine.
In that case, what if I refuse.
Gimme, gimme!
It wasn’t meant to be like this.

ぎゅっと握るその拳の中 ぱっと開くと何もなかった
確かに持ってたはずなんだ 道を示すコンパスだった
ちょっとそこの人お尋ねします さっき大事なものを落として
言いかけた時 驚いて去ってしまった ねえなんで
怪物を見るような目でした

gyutto nigiru sono kobushi no naka patto hiraku to nani mo nakatta
tashika ni motteta hazu nanda michi o shimesu konpasu datta
chotto soko no hito otazuneshimasu sakki daiji na mono to otoshite
iikaketa toki odoroite satte shimatta nee nande
kaibutsu o miru you na me deshita

When I opened my tightly clenched fist, there was nothing there.
I definitely had a compass to show the way.
I’ll ask that person over there, “I dropped something valuable just now.”
I started to speak and they were startled and went away. C’mon, why?
Their eyes were those of someone looking at a monster.

忘れ物をしたあの日に 割れた鏡に映った君
我を失い奪った銭 鍍金に塗れた木片だった
残ったのはひとつだけ 残ったのは喪失感

wasuremono o shita ano hi ni wareta kagami ni utsutta kimi
ware o ushinai ubatta zeni tokin ni nureta mokuhen datta
nokotta no wa hitotsu dake nokotta no wa soushitsukan

The day I lost it, you were there reflected in the broken mirror.
I forgot myself and stole that small change. It was a splinter covered in gold plating.
Only one was left over. Only a sense of loss was left.

返して 返して
後悔してるのです
許して 許して
こんなはずじゃなかったのに

kaeshite kaeshite
koukai shiteru no desu
yurushite yurushite
konna hazu ja nakatta noni

Give it back, give it back.
I feel bad about it now.
Forgive me, forgive me.
It wasn’t meant to be like this.

麻酔とも言って差し支えない
毎晩惨状
とてもとてもそれだけじゃ
誤魔化せないねと日々増やされて

masui to mo itte sashitsukaenai
maiban sanjou
totemo totemo sore dake ja
gomakasenai ne to hibi fuyasarete

They said it was anaesthetic, and I didn’t object.
Night after night, it’s the scene of a disaster.
One cannot simply be deceived
with just that alone. It was increased daily.

ふっと覗いた姿見の中の 頭上には王冠があった
ああ またおかしなものを見た
目を覚ませば壊れてしまう
ちょっとそこの人お尋ねします さっき大事なものを落として
言いかけた時驚いて 去ってしまう肩を掴む
怪物のようなことをした

futto nozoita sugatami no naka no zujou ni wa oukan ga atta
aa mata okashi na mono o mita
me o samaseba kowarete shimau
chotto soko no hito otazune shimasu sakki daiji na mono o otoshite
iikaketa toki odoroite satte shimau kata o tsukamu
kaibutsu no you na koto o shita

I suddenly looked at the mirror, and there was a crown on my head.
Ah, I’ve seen something weird again.
When I wake up, I’ll go mad.
I’ll ask that person over there, “I dropped something valuable just now.”
I started to speak and they were startled. I grabbed at their shoulder as they went away
and did something monstrous.

むかしむかし或るいのちが白黒の愛を語った
何時しか其れはもう猛毒と化して砕け散って
三半規管は衰退幻聴疾（とっく）に廃れたワンダランド

mukashi mukashi aru inochi ga shirokuro no ai o katatta
itsushika sore wa mou moudoku to ka shite kudake chitte
sanhankikan wa suitai genchou tokku ni sutareta wandarando

Once upon a time, a certain life told a tale of monochrome love.
Unawares, it had long since turned to deadly poison and was smashed up.
I suffer from degenerative auditory hallucinations. This wonderland died out long ago.

心の奥の奥の奥に有った例の心臓の終末観は
幸福主義者の乱行でどうも失くなったらしく
三十九秒間で蕩落（とろけお）ちた夢の中を未だ観ている

kokoro no oku no oku no oku ni atta rei no shinzou no shuumatsukan wa
koufuku shugisha no rangyou de doumo nakunattarashiku
sanjuukyuu byoukan de toroke ochita yume no naka o imada mite iru

The eschatology of the heart in question, there deep in the deepest depths of my mind,
seems like it met its end from the violence of the eudemonists.
In 39 seconds, I’m still having a dream that melted and fell.

是じゃあ丸で砂礫の卓上で蝸牛（かぎゅう）角上の大論争
私は掛替の有る者か？
ならば種も仕掛も無い愛を今此処で謳おうか
三分間の此の雑音（ノイズ）を！

kore jaa maru de sareki no takujou de kagyuukakujou no daironsou
watashi wa kakegae no aru mono ka?
naraba tane mo shikake mo nai ai o ima koko de utaou ka
sanbunkan no kono noizu o!

This is just like an insignificant great war played with pebbles atop a table.
Am I replaceable?
In that case, shall I sing the praises of a love without tricks here?
I’ll sing this static for three minutes!

錯覚で落っこちた私は間違って仕舞ったの？
ホウカスポウカス抗っても意味無いさずっと
誰でも好い私を愛して
絡まって放置（ほっと）いた痛みは蔓延って消えないの
ドグラマグラ簡単に偽ってＩ＿ｌｏｖｅ＿Ｕ
謳えアングレイデイズ

sakkaku de okkochita watashi wa machigatte shimatta no?
houkasu poukasu aragatte mo imi nai sa zutto
dare demo ii watashi o aishite
karamatte hotto ita itami wa habikotte kienai no
dogura magura kantan ni itsuwatte I_love_U
utae angurei deizu

I had fallen in hallucinations. Did I make a mistake?
Hocus pocus. Resistance is always futile!
I don’t care who, just love me.
The pain I tied up and left alone spreads and won’t vanish.
Dogra magra. I easily deceive you. I_love_U (1)
Sing! Ungray days.

或るラガツタの鼓膜に一通の御玉杓子（おたまじゃくし）の羅列
アルハベツトに掣肘（せいちゅう）の五本足で這寄った旋律
散散に堰（せ）く経文の壁稲妻にスタツカアトの霙（みぞれ）
冷凍河童の解凍発砲音（サヴマシンガン）で

aru ragatta no komaku ni ittsuu no otamajakushi no raretsu
aruhabetto ni seichuu no gohon ashi de haiyotta senritsu
sanzan ni seku kyoumon no kabe inazuma ni sutatsukaato no mizore
reitou kappa no kaitou savumashingan de

A list of musical notes lies in the eardrums of la gatta. (2)
Its melody crawled around the alphabet on five restrained legs.
Thunderous staccato sleet beats against a thoroughly dammed-up wall of scripture
with the sound of a frozen kappa’s submachine gun.

振下がっては煙を一服とカニバリヅムの様に
騙し合っては存命の美学なんて道化師の様に
徒（いたずら）に科した生活の果道連に穿（うが）つゲイムの過程
演奏会手を拝借其れが如何だって云うのだ！

burasagatte wa kemuri o ippuku to kanibarizumu no you ni
damashi atte wa zonmei no bigaku nante doukeshi no you ni
itazura ni ka shita seikatsu no hate michizure ni ugatsu geimu no katei
ensou aite o haishaku sore ga dou datte iu no da!

I look down then they vanish with a puff of smoke, just like cannibalism.
We cheat each other with life’s aesthetics, just like a clown.
At the end of a life inflicted in vain is a game path drilled through the travelling companion.
What do they call it when you borrow your performing partner?

錯覚で落っこちた私は間違って仕舞ったの？

I had fallen in hallucinations. Did I make a mistake?
Hocus pocus. Resistance is always futile!

(1) Dogra Magra (ドグラマグラ) is a work of avant-garde gothic literature by Yumeno Kyuusaku. The phrase itself seems to be roughly equivalent to hocus pocus.
(2) ラガツタ (ragatta, la gatta) is Italian for ‘the cat.’

The title must be short for something. I wonder what it could be…

痛んだかな　そんな瞳もそれでいいかな
おかしいな　僕も少し痛いみたい

itanda na sonna hitomi mo sore de ii kana
okashii na boku mo sukoshi itai mitai

I wonder if it hurt. Looking at me with such eyes, maybe you were okay with it.
How weird. It seems like it hurt a bit for me too.

少年たちにゃ分からない
甘い時間も沢山あったよ
単純だね、ホントに
照れる話だね

shounen-tachi nya wakaranai
amai jikan mo takusan atta yo
tanjun da ne, honto ni
tereru hanashi da ne

Young boys won’t understand.
There were so many sweet hours.
It’s simple, really.
It’s an embarrassing story.

記憶と共に捨てていくのは
今宵と相なるべくそうろう
昔話はここまでにして
恨むなら 夜を恨んでいけ

kioku to tomo ni sutete iku no wa
koyoi to ai naru beku sourou
mukashi banashi wa koko made ni shite
uramu nara yoru o urande ike

I’ll cast you away together with my memories
tonight, if I can.
I’ll leave my tales of the past there.
If you’re going to blame anything, blame the night.

離（か）れてしまえば 水はいらない
ただ、ただ、日々をなぞる
同じ世界を見ていた目線
叶うなら

karete shimaeba mizu wa iranai
tada, tada, hibi o nazoru
onaji sekai o mite ita mesen
kanau nara

If I wither from separation, I don’t need water.
I’ll just follow the days as they pass.
Our gazes were watching the same world.
If my wish will be granted…

痛んだかな　きっと僕らはそれでいいんだな
おかしいな　それも愛しい事みたい

itanda kana kitto bokura wa sore de ii nda na
okashii na sore mo itoshii koto mitai

I wonder if it hurt. I guess we must have been fine with that.
How strange. That seems like such a dear thing, too.

少年たちにゃ分からない
笑えない事件もそりゃあったよ
そういうとこ隠して
物知り顔してんだ

shounen-tachi nya wakaranai
waraenai jiken mo sorya atta yo
sou iu toko kakushite
monoshiri kao shiten da

Young boys won’t understand.
There was a serious incident, too.
Hiding that fact,
you gave a knowing look.

捨て行く君を再び見るは
今宵、今宵かと幾星霜
いわんや君の知らせを聞いて
恨みを忘れて 乱した

sute iku kimi o futatabi miru wa
koyoi, koyoi ka to ikuseisou
iwan ya kimi no shirase o kiite
urami o wasurete midashita

I cast you away and think about when I will see you again.
“Tonight? Tonight?” I think for many months and years.
Not to mention when I’ll hear tidings of you.
I forget my bitterness and go mad.

過ぎてしまえば 泡沫の夢
ただ、ただ、意味を添えて
あたかもそれが命みたいに
白んでいく

sugite shimaeba utakata no yume
tada, tada, imi o soete
ataka mo sore ga inochi mitai ni
shirande iku

One expired, this dream is transient.
Still, still, I give it meaning.
As if it were life itself,
it turns grey.

少年たちにゃ分からない
ひどく錯雑な事情なんだよ
そう吐き出すその実
ちょっと揺らいでいるのさ

shounen-tachi nya wakaranai
hidoku sakuzatsu na jijou nan da yo
sou hakidasu sono jitsu
chotto yuraide iru no sa

Young boys won’t understand.
The circumstances are so awfully complex.
Having spit that truth out
I’ve gotten a bit unstable.

記憶と共に捨てていくのは
今宵と相なるべくそうろう
昔話はここまでにして
恨むなら 夜を恨んでいけ

kioku to tomo ni sutete iku no wa
koyoi to ai naru beku sourou

I’ll cast you away together with my memories
tonight, if I can.
I’ll leave my tales of the past there.
If you’re going to blame anything, blame the night.

離（か）れてしまえば 水はいらない

If I wither from separation, I don’t need water.
I’ll just follow the days as they pass.
Our gazes were watching the same world.
If my wish will be granted…

話も終わり 道草渡り
暁が空を諭していく
自分のようで 誰かのような
声がした 東の朝陽

hanashi mo owari michikusa watari
akatsuki ga sora o satoshite iku
jibun no you de dareka no you na
koe ga shita higashi no chouyou

This tale is over, too. We’ve crossed the wayside grass. (1)
Dawn guides the sky.
Like myself, the eastern morning sun
spoke with someone else’s voice.

おもしろいほど なすすべもない
ただ、ただ、僕は生きる
あたかもそれが命みたいに
白んでいく

omoshiroi hodo nasu sube mo nai
tada, tada, boku wa ikiru
ataka mo sore ga inochi mitai ni
shirande iku

I’m at my wit’s end to a laughable extent
yet still, still, I live.
As if it were life itself,
it turns grey.

(1) 道草渡り (michikusa watari) is literally translated as ‘crossed the wayside grass’, but could also have a more metaphorical meaning of ‘crossing over’ pleasantries or time-wasting.

I felt hot, like my heart’s dancing and throbbing.
It’s like a beast forcibly crawling along my chest.
It swells up so much I can’t ignore it. It’s driving me mad!
I love the one who presses these feelings on. I can’t do anything about it now…

Love, love, love. I’m absorbed in it, enjoying it through my body!
Quicker and quicker, my heart throbs even faster.
Murky, murky love. I was absorbed in it. I lose my mind. Goodbye!
I’ll put an end to my masturbation.

I love you so much I want to kill you. You’re so important to me I want to let you die.
I don’t even care if the future we promised each other fades away.
That’s why I killed you. It’s all your fault!

Bereavement. Bereavement. You died and now I’m alone. I’m not sad at all, though…
My chest, still so small, is free from love’s parasite.
Still, the beast has come out once again and my body’s gone all funny.
I love the one who presses these feelings on. I’ve started throbbing again!

This song started off like any other love song… then it got surprisingly lewd!

その包み解いて柔らかな愛の味覚を

sono tsutsumi hodoite yawaraka na ai no mikaku o

Unwrap that package and experience the taste of tender love.

カラカラの心に永住　日々思うアイニージュー
いつだって脳内”ZOO”ズィーオーオーで
騒がしい忌々しい程貴方を思っている
傷ついたフリをして

You’re always in my parched heart. I think of you every day. I need you.
Always in the ZOO inside my heart,
I’m thinking of you so much things get turbulent and annoying.
I act like I’ve been injured.

この慟哭の意味など無いの　貴方と居たいだけ
ほらどう動くの答えておくれ　今

kono doukoku no imi nado nai no anata to itai dake
hora dou ugoku no kotaete okure ima

This wailing is meaningless. I just want to be with you.
Come on, answer me and tell me how I should move now.

MILKY umm…

あれあれと貴方に隷従　まだ解けぬ催眠術
間違った寵愛”SOS”で

I’m your slave, to my surprise. I can’t escape from your hypnotism just yet.
This is mistaken love. I send out an SOS.
It’s wrong, yet it feels so right. I couldn’t lie very well.
Ours is a wordless love.

この感情の行き場は無いの　貴方の中だけ
ほらどう動くの教えておくれ　今

kono kanjou no ikiba wa nai no anata no naka dake

This feeling has nowhere to go except inside you.
Come on, tell me how I should move now…

MILKY umm…

I head to the depths of pleasure with a body oh so moist.
Take me, want me!
Gently open your heart and thrust it all down your throat.
Eat it, taste it, and tell me it’s like a mother’s milk.

The title translation is the official translation from the official video.

一つ、何時如何なる場合も偽証を行ったものは10年以上20年以下の懲役とする

hitotsu, itsu ikanaru baai mo gishou o okonatta mono wa juunen ijou nijuunen ika no choueki to suru

  • No matter when, no matter where, someone who commits perjury will be sentenced to 10-20 years of hard labour. (1)

一つ、事実を記憶していない場合、またはあやふやな場合も前述による刑に処する

hitotsu, jijitsu o kioku shiteinai baai, mata wa ayafuyana baai mo zenjutsu niyoru kei ni shosuru

  • When they don’t remember the truth, or when it’s ambiguous, they’ll receive the same sentence.

一つ、被疑者の身内による偽装工作、心情的事由による理由なき擁護は裁定に加味されないことはおろか、妨害行為として５年以上35年以下の懲役に処する

hitotsu, higisha no miuchi niyoru gisou kousaku, shinjouteki jiyuu ni yoru riyuu naki yougo wa saitei ni kami sarenai koto wa oroka, bougai koui toshite gonen ijou sanjuugonen ika no choueki ni shosuru

  • Needless to say, diversionary tactics by the suspect’s relatives and unreasonable defence based on sentiment won’t be taken into account in the judgement. It will be treated as obstruction with a sentence of 5-35 years of hard labour.

Deception and fraud must be eradicated from society.
Don’t look away. Look directly at reality.
Agh!
Vomit it all up!
Raise your damn wishes and true feelings
at the meeting.

Just do it in an instant!
Go with the death penalty already!
There’s no revision of sentencing. None at all.
It’s just a waste of time and taxes!
Defects are lethal. Eliminate them.
Those people are useless now. Dispose of them.
Let’s end things with a constructive settlement.
We’ll aim for zero crimes and declutter!

Let’s stave off even more crime.
Regardless of its weight,
it’ll be an instant death penalty for all!

(1) 一つ (hitotsu), used at the start of each of the first three stanzas, literally means ‘one.’ This has been omitted and replaced with bullet points, as the word 一つ appears to be used to indicate separate list items.
(2) 喝 (katsu) is a shout used to scold or threaten. It has historical links to Zen.
(3) 総括 (soukatsu) is a school of thought popular among left-wing Japanese politicians in the 60s and 70s. It instructed them to look back on their activities to identify areas for improvement.

A few Chinese words are scattered throughout this song. Apart from the place names, we also have 可愛 (ke’ai, cute) and 一定再見 (yiding zaijian, see you soon).

アンタが去ってあれからずっと

eat it it it it it it eat it
eat it it it it it it eat it up

Since you left, the rain has kept falling
here in this neighbourhood.
The dog-headed bellboy won’t stop knocking.
There’s a dispute over Buddha’s herb
and there’s a show where the lady chimera is split up.
Eat it it it it it it eat it.
Eat it it it it it it eat it up.

幸･不幸 福を乞う不幸

Good fortune, misfortune, and the unfortunate asking for good fortune—
It’s all up to fate in the end.

That’s a “good”-bye,
But that’s not what it was at all.
An animal’s nature lives while wearing your heels.
The usual back-alley doctor sneered and said:
“Take care…”
Che che che che che check out.
Che che che che check out.

This was a really interesting song to translate, since some parts felt like poetry – a succession of words and images with implied links. Perhaps the speaker loved someone but couldn’t tell them until it was too late…

The title is kind of Chinese in its construction, too. I interpret it as 愛[してる]花[は]晴々. It could also be ‘flowers of love’, but I think it refers to a specific flower (you – おまえさま, which is respectful yet archaic).

花のように愛らしいおまえさま
朝顔のように笑みを咲かせるのだろう
花のように愛らしいおまえさま
向日葵のように手を引くのだろう

hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
asagao no you ni emi o sakaseru no darou
hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
himawari no you ni te o hiku no darou

You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps I can make your smile bloom like a morning glory.
You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps I can take you like a sunflower.

想い連ね々早幾年
文の高さと重さは番うだろう
掠れた宛名に唇寄せて
吐き出す毒は喉にしまいこむ

omoi tsurane dzurane haya ikutoshi
fumi no takasa to omosa wa tsugau darou
kasureta atena ni kuchibiru yosete
hakidasu doku wa nodo ni shimai komu

My feelings are strung together, and the years passed by quickly.
I suppose my letter’s height and severity are linked.
I bring my lips close to the blurred name of the recipient
and hold the poison I vomited up in my throat.

厭うは陰に巣食いし
陰鬱なる性よ
悲しや
想い実らざる叶わざる
見えること勿れと
黒に身を潜めた

itou wa kage ni sukui shi
in’utsu naru saga yo
kanashi ya
omoi minorazaru kanawazaru
mieru koto nakare to
kuro ni mi o hisometa

My hatred nests in the shadows.
Oh, that melancholy nature of mine!
I am so sad.
My feelings do not bud. They are not fulfilled.
I must not be seen. And so…
I hid myself in the blackness.

花のように愛らしいおまえさま
梔子のように淡く照らすのだろう
花のように愛らしいおまえさま
紫陽花のように柔く包むのだろう

hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
kuchinashi no you ni awaku terasu no darou
hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
ajisai no you ni yawaku tsutsumu no darou

You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps you will shine faintly like a gardenia.
You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps I can softly wrap you up like a hydrangea.

想い連ね々早幾年
文の長さと重さは番うだろう
震えた言の葉指でなぞり
滲み出す毒は爪ににぎりこむ

omoi tsurane dzurane haya ikutoshi
fumi no takasa to omosa wa tsugau darou
furueta koto no ha yubi de nazori
shimi dasu doku wa tsume ni nigiri komu

My feelings are strung together, and the years passed by quickly.
I suppose my letter’s length and severity are linked.
I traced along the words with trembling fingers.
The oozing poison clings to my nails.

羨むは日向に在る
明朗なる姿
悲しや
想い届かざる至らざる
焼け落つこと勿れと
黒に身を沈めた

urayamu wa hinata ni aru
meirou naru sugata
kanashii ya
omoi todokazaru itarazaru
yakeotsu koto nakare to
kuro ni mi o shizumeta

The thing I envy is your cheerful figure
in the sun.
I’m so sad.
My feelings do not reach their destination. They don’t arrive.
I must not fall in flames. And so…
I sank into the darkness.

如月の命日に想い焦がさば紅
清廉な四肢をちらしけがしちぎりて
疾しさを映し塗り潰された
いとしいはずの顔は描けず
枯れた夢が嗤う

kisaragi no meinichi ni omoi kogasaba kurenai
seiren na shishi o chirashi kegashi chigirite
yamashisa o utsushi nuri tsubusareta
itoshii hazu no kao wa egakezu
kareta yume ga warau

When I pine for you during your death anniversary in the second lunar month—crimson.
In a shower of honest limbs, I violate myself by laying with another.
I cast my shame like a shadow, and it was painted over.
I can’t picture your face, which was meant to be so dear to me, in my mind.
My withered dream sneers.

花のように愛らしいおまえさま
竜胆のように艶やかに鳴くのだろう
花のように愛らしいおまえさま
水仙のように気高く濡れるのだろう

hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
rindou no you ni azayaka ni naku no darou
hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
suisen no you ni kedakaku nureru no darou

You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps you will sing beguilingly, like an autumn bellflower.
You are lovely, just like a flower.
Perhaps you will get wet sublimely, like a narcissus.

花のように愛らしいおまえさま
椿のように落ちるその前に
愛らしい形が変わらぬよう
影だけを褥に縛り付けた
押し花の永遠に娶らせた

hana no you ni airashii omae-sama
tsubaki no you ni ochiru sono mae ni
airashii katachi ga kawaranu you
kage dake o shitone ni shibari tsuketa
oshibana no eien ni okoraseta

You are lovely, just like a flower.
Before you fall like a camellia,
I hope your pretty form does not change.
I only bound shadows to my mattress.
I married you to an eternity as a pressed flower.

抱き寄せた嘘は甘くとろけた

dakiyoseta uso wa amaku toroketa

The falsehoods I held close sweetly melted away…
