浅き夢見し紅い胴体が
ふと蠢く内臓を縫い閉じ込めて
出逢いは已を得ないから余計鬱陶しい
醜いこんな不恰好で本当にごめんね
asaki yumemishi akai doutai ga
futo ugomeku naizou o nui tojikomete
deai wa yamu o enai kara yokei uttoushii
minukui konna bukakkou de hontou ni gomen ne
My reddish body losing itself in shallow dreams
sews up my squirming organs and shuts them inside
Meetings are even gloomier because I can’t avoid them,
I’m so sorry for being this awkward and unsightly
どうして、私どうして、
あの時拒めなかったんだろう
どうして、私どうして、
あのトーキー映画の模倣犯に
なり損ねて
doushite, watashi doushite,
ano toki kobamenakattan darou
doushite, watashi doushite,
ano toki eiga no mohouhan ni
nari sokonete
Why? Why did I do that?
Why haven’t I refused it that time?
Why? Why did I do that?
Why couldn’t I be a copycat for that movie
all the way through the end?
終始鈍い痛みが
金魚鉢から溢れ
生魄を浸す日曜日の錯誤
背中合わせで伝う体温が
互いの微熱を確かにマーブリングしていく
shuushi nibui itami ga
kingyobachi kara afure
seihaku o hitasu nichiyoubi no sakugo
senaka awase de tsutau taion ga
tagai no binetsu o tashika ni maaburingu shiteiku
From start to end, dull pain
spills over from a goldfish bowl,
a sunday discrepancy soaking my life and soul
The body heat we can feel through our backs touching
is faint but is surely marbling our slight fever
二人の矛盾が鎖で縛られて
繋がれたまんま腐るよ酸素と触れ合って
扉の向こうで此方へと呼ぶ声がして
星が華やいだ星が華やいだ
futari no mujun ga kusari de shibararete
tsunagareta manma kusaru yo sanso to fureatte
tobira no mukou de kochira e to yobu koe ga shite
hoshi ga hanayaida hoshi ga hanayaida
Our contraddictions chain the two of us up
and, binded together, the oxygen makes us rot away
But beyond this door, I can hear a beckoning voice
“The stars are shining, the stars are shining”
どうして、私どうして、
あんな風に笑ってしまったんだろう
私どうして、
あんな風に落ちない言葉の針が
身に刺さるの?
doushite, watashi doushite,
anna fuu ni waratte shimattan darou
watashi doushite,
anna fuu ni ochinai kotoba no hari ga
mi ni sasaru no?
Why? Why did I do that?
I wonder why did I laugh like that?
Just tell me why
all the words left untold
pierce my body like sharp needles?
息途絶えたら被覆を纏って
銀色の夢を見た
絶縁よ
ikitodaetara hifuku o matotte
gin’iro no yume o mita
zetsuen yo
I hold my breath and find myself coated
inside a silver-colored dream
oh, isolation
Notes:
– “Zetsuen” (絶縁), the track’s title and its last word, more correctly means “to severe every connection you had with someone”. I’ve translated it as “isolation” because it felt more appropriate lyrics-wise.
