Japanese	Romaji	English
どうしてしがらみ隠すの	doushite shigarami kakusu no	Why do you hide your chains?
そうして土砂降りにまみれて	soushite doshaburi ni mamirete	Just like that, you’re covered in heavy rain.
最上階　から　見た　景色と	saijoukai kara mita keshiki to	That’s what I saw looking down from the top floor,
正義の味方の飛び立つ姿	seigi no mikata no tobitatsu sugata	along with a hero taking off into the sky.

ようこそ貸切に牢の闇	youkoso kashikiri ni rou no yami	Welcome to the darkness of the jail reserved for you.
感覚器官に刺激求めたら	kankaku kikan ni shigeki motometara	If you’re seeking something to stimulate your senses,
ありふれた　嘘　デマ　ホラ吹く	arifureta uso dema hora fuku	Look—common lies and false rumours are in the air.
始業のチャイムで掻き鳴らす	shigyou no chaimu de kakinarasu	The bell marking the start of work for the day is ringing.

会いたいかい？	aitai kai?	Do you want to see me?
勝手なのかい？	katte na no kai?	Is it selfish?
もういいかい？	mou ii kai?	Had enough?
もう何回？	mou nan kai?	How many times has it been?
ばいばいばいば	bai bai bai ba	Bye, bye, bye, b—
ばいばいばいばいば	bai bai bai bai ba	bye, bye, bye, bye, b—

あいからかいあ　愛から愛	ai kara kai a ai kara ai	From lovevol morf, love from love.
再会　最大のチャンス到来	saikai saidai no chansu tourai	We meet again and arrive at the best chance
そして　いえいえいえいえ	soshite ieie ieie	and then, no, no, no, no!^[2]
まだ続けるよ	mada tsudzukeru yo	I can keep going.
くだらんなんて切り捨てて	kudaran nante kirisutete	Cast aside all those foolish things
それで　いまさらの後悔も	sore de imasara no koukai mo	and then let’s try forgetting
今は　そう　いえいえいえ	ima wa sou ieieie	now, no, no, no, no!
忘れてみよう	wasurete miyou	about regrets that arrived far too late

こうして眠りにつくのさ	koushite nemuri ni tsuku no sa	And so, I’ll fall asleep.
今日なら見えすぎて朦朧	kyou nara mie sugite mourou	I saw too much today, so it’s all vague.
そこらじゅう　ほら　猫　杓子が	sokora juu hora neko shakushi ga	All over the place—see, every single person
書き出す唄にも聴く耳持たず	kakidasu uta ni mo kiku mimi motazu	doesn’t even listen to the songs I write.

そうだろう休む暇もなく	sou darou yasumu hima mo naku	Yeah, I’ve got no time to rest.
書き連ねた尊すぎる哲学	kakitsuraneta touto sugiru tetsugaku	I’ve made a list of all-too-precious philosophies.
大事だね　そろそろそろそろ	daiji da ne sorosoro sorosoro	They’re important, right? Before long
誰かの存在認めるかい？	dareka no sonzai mitomeru kai?	will you acknowledge someone’s existence?

魂かい？	tamashii kai?	Is it a soul?
体なのかい？	karada na no kai?	Is it a body?
関係ない？	kankei nai?	It doesn’t matter?
それでいいかい？	sore de ii kai?	Is it fine that way?
ばいばいばいば	bai bai bai ba	Bye, bye, bye, b—
ばいばいばいばいば	bai bai bai bai	bye, bye, bye, bye, b—

あいからかいあ　愛など無い	ai kara kai a ai nado nai	From lovevol morf, love doesn’t exist.
それが　単純な答えなら	sore ga tanjun na kotae nara	If it’s such a simple answer,
それも　いえいえいえいえ	sore mo ieie ieie	then that too, no, no, no, no!
間違い無いさ	machigai nai sa	must be right.
あの太陽も生きている	ano taiyou mo ikite iru	The sun is alive way over there.
それで　何が　見えたのか	sore de nani ga mieta no ka	So, did something come into view?
いいさ　ほら　いえいえいえ	ii sa hora ieie ie	That’s fine. See? No, no, no!
いけるといいね	ikeru to ii ne	It would be nice if I could make it there.

会いたいかい？	aitai kai?	Do you want to see me?
勝手なのかい？	katte na no kai?	Is it selfish?
もういいかい？	mou ii kai?	Had enough?
もう何回？	mou nan kai?	How many times has it been?
ばいばいばいば	bai bai bai ba	Bye, bye, bye, b—
ばいばいばいばいば	bai bai bai bai ba	bye, bye, bye, bye, b—

あいからかいあ　愛から愛	ai kara kai a ai kara ai	From lovevol morf, love from love.
再会　最大のチャンス到来	saikai saidai no chansu tourai	We meet again and arrive at the best chance
そして　いえいえいえいえ	soshite ieie ieie	and then, no, no, no, no!
まだ続けるよ	mada tsudzukeru yo	I can keep going.
くだらんなんて切り捨てて	kudaran nante kirisutete	Cast aside all those foolish things
それで　いまさらの後悔も	sore de imasara no koukai mo	and then let’s try forgetting
今は　そう　いえいえいえ	ima wa sou ie ieie	now, no, no, no, no!
忘れてみよう	wasurete miyou	about regrets that arrived far too late

あいからかいあ　何回も	ai kara kai a nan kai mo	From lovevol morf, time and time again,
歌え　歌え　そんなもんさ	utae utae sonna mon sa	sing about them. That’s how it is!
そして　いえいえいえいえ	soshite ieie ieie	And then, no, no, no, no!
まだまだ続く	madamada tsudzuku	Things will keep going.
もしかしたらもいいんだよ	moshika shitara mo ii nda yo	Perhaps we’ve had enough.
それでまたきっと会えるから	sore de mata kitto aeru kara	Well then, we’ll definitely meet again
今は　まだ　いえいえいえ	ima wa mada ie ieie	so for now, no, no, no!
歌っていよう	utatte iyou	let’s sing!
