Japanese	Romaji	English
存在の意味を考えた	sonzai no imi o kangaeta	A lonely monster
一人ぼっちの化け物は	hitoribocchi no bakemono wa	Thought about the meaning of her life
「人なんてすぐに死んじゃう」と	"hito nante sugu ni shinjau" to	“Humans die so soon!”
呆れ顔続けてた	akiregao tsudzuketeta	She was continually surprised by this

一人ぼっちの化け物に	hitoribocchi no bakemono ni	A young soldier
恋に落ちてく少年兵	koi ni ochite ku shounen-hei	Fell in love with the lonely monster
「このまま生涯を暮らそう」と	"kono mama shougai o kurasou" to	Thinking, “Let’s live like this for the rest of our lives,”
手を繋ぎ温めた	te o tsunagi atatameta	They joined hands, warming each other

始まった日々を噛みしめて	hajimatta hibi o kamishimete	Contemplating the daily life they’d embarked on
子供も出来た化け物は	kodomo mo dekita bakemono wa	The monster, who had had a child
「君だけ一人老いていく」	"kimi dake hitori oite iku"	Realized, “You alone will get old”
気づいてもう耐えられない	kidzuite mou taerarenai	Having realized that, she couldn’t stand it

蛇の力を集めてさ	hebi no chikara o atsumete sa	I combined the power of all my snakes^[1]
無くなったってもう構わない	nakunatta tte mou kamawanai	No longer caring whether I would lose it
終わらないセカイを作ったんだ	owaranai sekai o tsukuttanda	I made an unending world
家族だけで行こう	kazoku dake de ikou	So I could go there with just my family

君を待つドアの前	kimi o matsu doa no mae	In front of the door, I waited for you
いつまでも現れない	itsumademo arawarenai	But you never appeared
流れる雲数えてた	nagareru kumo kazoeteta	I was counting the clouds as they floated by
空はどこか寂しそうで	sora wa doko ka sabishi-soude	The sky was somehow lonely

君が来ないなんて	kimi ga konai nante	Somewhere along the line,
そんなことどこかで気付いてた	sonna koto dokoka de kidzuiteta	I realized that you would never come
「それならもう興味もない」	"sore nara mou kyoumi mo nai"	“In that case, I don’t care anymore”
セカイに一人消えようか	sekai ni hitori kieyou ka	Should I disappear into that world by myself?

許したくもない君のこと	yurushitaku mo nai kimi no koto	I don’t want to forgive you
今もまだ、愛してる	ima mo mada, aishiteru	But even now, I still love you

Translation Notes

↑ The switch from third-person to first-person POV is in the original Japanese lyrics, although in a pronoun-dropping language it’s slightly more ambiguous where it happens–the first-person could start the stanza before where I have the shift happening. The “she” of the first part and the “I” of the second part are both the same person, Azami. It may be that she sees her younger self as almost a different person.
