Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| あたしが愛を語るのなら | atashi ga ai o kataru no nara | If I was to express my love[1], |
| その眼には如何、映像る？ | sono me ni wa dou, utsuru? | how exactly would it be projected on those eyes? |
| 詞は有り余るばかり | kotoba wa ariamaru bakari | Words {are always} nothing but excessive, |
| 無垢の音が流れてく | muku no ne ga nagareteku | a pure sound streams on... |
| あなたが愛に塗れるまで | anata ga ai ni mamireru made | Until you are smeared entirely with love, |
| その色は幻だ | sono iro wa maboroshi da | that colour is but a mirage. |
| ひとりぼっち、音に呑まれれば | hitoribocchi, oto ni nomarereba | All alone, when I am engulfed by sound, |
| 全世界共通の快楽さ | zensekai kyoutsuu no kairaku sa | {it is} universal delight. |
| つまらない茫然に溺れる暮らし | tsumaranai bouzen ni oboreru kurashi | A livelihood indulging in boring stupefaction, |
| 誰もが彼をなぞる | dare mo ga kare o nazoru | everyone traces after him |
| 繰り返す使い回しの歌に | kurikaesu tsukaimawashi no uta ni | Yet again I plugged up my ears, |
| また耳を塞いだ | mata mimi o fusaida | against a repeating, reused song |
| あなたが愛を語るのなら | anata ga ai o kataru no nara | If you are to express your love, |
| それを答とするの？ | sore o kotae to suru no? | will that {then be used as} your answer? |
| 目をつぶったふりをしてるなら | me o tsubutta furi o shiteru nara | If you’re pretending to have closed your eyes, |
| この曲で醒ましてくれ！ | kono kyoku de samashitekure! | then please open them with this song! |
| 誰も知らぬ物語 思うばかり | dare mo shiranu monogatari omou bakari | I think of nothing but that story unknown to all, |
| 壊れそうなくらいに 抱き締めて泣き踊った | kowaresou na kurai ni dakishimete naki odotta | I embraced {it} close {and} danced, shedding tears, to the point of almost breaking |
| 見境無い感情論 許されるのならば | misakai nai kanjouron yurusareru no naraba | If a sentimental argument void of distinction is allowed then…[2] |
| 泣き出すことすらできないまま 呑み込んでった | nakidasu koto sura dekinai mama nomikondetta | I have a heart seemingly on the verge of breaking apart, |
| 張り裂けてしまいそうな心があるってこと、 | harisakete shimaisou na kokoro ga arutte koto, | that I swallowed back down, unable to even burst into tears |
| 叫ばせて！ | sakebasete! | -- Let me scream that! |
| 世界があたしを拒んでも | sekai ga atashi o koban demo | Even if the world rejects me, |
| 今、愛の唄 歌わせてくれないかな | ima, ai no uta utawasete kurenai kana | right now, I wonder if you won’t let me sing a song of love? |
| もう一回 誰も知らないその想い | mou ikkai dare mo shiranai sono omoi | I wonder if it’s ok to try and entrust those feelings, |
| この声に預けてみてもいいかな | kono koe ni azuketemite mo ii kana | unknown to all, upon this voice one more time? |
| あなたには僕が見えるか？ | anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? | Can you see me? |
| あなたには僕が見えるか？ | anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? | Can you see me? |
| ガラクタばかり | garakuta bakari | That back, |
| 投げつけられてきたその背中 | nagetsuke rarete kita sono senaka | that got nothing but junk thrown at it, |
| それでも好きと言えたなら | soredemo suki to ieta nara | If even then they were able to say they loved {it}[3] |
| それでも好きを願えたら | soredemo suki o negaetara | If even then they were able to wish for love |
| ああ、あたしの全部に | aa, atashi no zenbu ni | Aa, {perhaps that says} |
| その意味はあると── | sono imi wa aru to -- | that meaning lies in my everything, |
| ねえ、愛を語るのなら | nee, ai o kataru no nara | Hey, if you’re going to express your love, |
| 今その胸には誰がいる | ima sono mune ni wa dare ga iru | right now, exactly who is it inside of your heart? |
| こころのはこを抉じ開けて | kokoro no hako o koji akete | Wrenching open the box holding your heart, come on- |
| さあ、生き写しのあなた見せて？ | saa, ikiutsushi no anata misete? | show yourself (who is) an exact lookalike, to me? |
| あたしが愛になれるのなら | atashi ga ai ni nareru no nara | If I can become “love” |
| 今その色は何色だ | ima sono iro wa nani iro da | then what colour is that colour now. |
| 孤独なんて記号では収まらない | kodoku nante kigou de wa osamaranai | Loneliness cannot be sorted out by a symbol, |
| 心臓を抱えて生きてきたんだ！ | shinzou o kakaete ikite kitan da! | I lived shouldering my own heart! |
| ドッペルもどきが 其処いらに溢れた | dopperu modoki ga soko ira ni afureta | Pseudo-doppelgangers overflowed over there |
| 挙句の果ての今日 | ageku no hate no kyou | And finally, today, at the end of it all; |
| ライラ ライ ライ | raira rai rai | Liela lie lie! |
| 心失きそれを 生み出した奴等は | kokoro naki sore o umidashita yatsura wa | They, who created those {things} void of heart |
| 見切りをつけてもう | mikiri o tsukete mou | Give up {and} wash their hands of it all; |
| バイ ババイ バイ | bai babai bai | Bye b-bye bye! |
| 残されたあなたが | nokosareta anata ga | You, left behind, |
| この場所で今でも | kono basho de ima demo | are in this place even now |
| 涙を堪えてるの | namida o koraeteru no | Holding back your tears |
| 如何して、如何して | doushite, doushite | Why, oh why? |
| あたしは知ってるわ | atashi wa shitteru wa | I know -- |
| この場所はいつでも | kono basho wa itsu demo | That this place has been protected |
| あなたに守られてきたってこと！ | anata ni mamorarete kitatte koto! | by you all along! |
| 痛みなどあまりにも慣れてしまった | itami nado amarini mo narete shimatta | I’ve grown far too accustomed to pain and the like |
| 何千回と巡らせ続けた 喜怒と哀楽 | nansenkai to megurase tsuzuketa kido to airaku | The joy anger grief and pleasure that I continued to circle through[4], |
| 失えない喜びが | ushinae nai yorokobi ga | thousands upon thousands of times |
| この世界にあるならば | kono sekai ni aru naraba | If the joy I can’t part with is in this world |
| 手放すことすら出来ない哀しみさえ あたしは | tebanasu koto sura dekinai kanashimi sae atashi wa | will I end up turning even that unrelinquishable grief |
| この心の中つまはじきにしてしまうのか？ | kono kokoro no naka tsuma hajiki ni shite shimau no ka? | into a black sheep within this heart?[5] |
| それは、いやだ！ | sore wa, iya da! | I sure wouldn’t like that! |
| どうやって この世界を愛せるかな | dou yatte kono sekai o aiseru kana | Just how can I love this world? |
| いつだって 転がり続けるんだろう | itsu datte korogari tsuzukerun darou | Am I gonna be continuing to roll on forever? |
| ねえ、いっそ | nee, isso | Hey, I think |
| 誰も気附かないその想い | dare mo kizukanai sono omoi | I might as well take those feelings unnoticed by all |
| この唄で明かしてみようと思うんだよ | kono uta de akashite miyou to omoun da yo | and reveal them {to the world} with this song. |
| あなたなら何を願うか | anata nara nani o negau ka | What would /you/ wish for? |
| あなたなら何を望むか | anata nara nani o nozomu ka | What would /you/ desire for? |
| 軋んだ心が 誰より今を生きているの | kishin da kokoro ga dare yori ima o ikite iru no | My heart, creaking, lives in this moment more than anyone else's |
| あなたには僕が見えるか？ | anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? | Can you see me? |
| あなたには僕が見えるか？ | anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? | Can you see me? |
| それ、あたしの行く末を照らす灯なんだろう？ | sore, atashi no yukusue o terasu akarinan darou? | Is that, the light that illuminates my future {path}? |
| ねえ、あいをさけぶのなら | nee, ai o sakebu no nara | Hey, if you’re gonna scream about your love |
| あたしはここにいるよ | atashi wa koko ni iru yo | I’ll be right here |
| ことばがありあまれどなお、 | kotoba ga ariamaredonao, | Words may be excessive, but, |
| このゆめはつづいてく | kono yume wa tsuzuiteku | This dream continues on |
| あたしがあいをかたるのなら | atashi ga ai o kataru no nara | If I was to express my love |
| そのすべてはこのうただ | sono subete wa kono uta da | That everything is this song. |
| だれもしらないこのものがたり | dare mo shiranai kono monogatari | That story unknown to all, |
| またくちずさんでしまったみたいだ | mata kuchizusande shimatta mitai da | It seems I’ve gone and hummed it once again. |

Translation Notes
- ↑ ’express my love’ is something like an.. um... expression, the literal word is ‘tell’ or ‘recite’
- ↑ *I think you could also interpret the last block as two bits instead of one : “If a sentimental argument void of distinction is allowed then…I swallowed it all back down, still unable to even burst into tears” & “I have a heart seemingly on the verge of bursting apart -- Let me scream that!” but I think what I have makes more sense as a cohesive fitting in with the rest of the context.
- ↑ interpreted the person who got stuff thrown at their back being the subject here, but you could probably just about manage to interpret it as “if even then I was able to say I loved it” as well
- ↑ ”circle through” could also be “think over” but since there’s multiple and it’s already a given that emotions would be something in your mind I choose circle through.
- ↑ interpreted this block as “あたしはその心の中で[...]悲しみをつまはじきにしてしまうのか” I think? you could also take it as (something along the lines of) ‘turning the insides of that heart into a black sheep’ or ‘turning myself into a black sheep in that heart’, but I think what I have makes more sense cohesively, and connects to the previous! Oh and the black sheep word is synonymous with ‘ostracism’
