Japanese	Romaji	Official English
私ね	atashi ne	You know,
光りたいこと隠していたくない	hikaritai koto kakushite itakunai	I don’t want to hide that I yearn to shine.
グラブジャムンより甘い	gurabu jamun yori amai	Take me out of here with words
言葉で連れ出して	kotoba de tsuredashite	Sweeter than gulab jamun.
可笑しいね	okashii ne	How funny,
オークションでは見向きもされやしない	ookushon de wa mimuki mo sareyashinai	I felt like an antique clock that nobody paid attention to
古時計に『ヒッコリィ・ディッコリィ・ドック』	furudokei ni "hikkorii dikkori dokku"	At the auction said, “Hickory dickory dock,”
笑われた気がした	warawareta ki ga shita	Laughing at me.
いつだって	itsudatte	It’s always the case
大匙一杯の憧れと欲で	oosaji ippai no akogare to yoku de	That a tablespoonful of admiration and desire
人はじきに破滅に向かうの	hito wa jiki ni hametsu ni mukau no	Eventually leads people to doom—
そうでしょう?	sou deshou?	Isn’t it?
だからって	dakara tte	But does that mean
ハノイの塔 その下でずっといるの?	hanoi no tou sono shita de zutto iru no?	You’re gonna stay beneath the Tower of Hanoi forever?
何も使えない動けない	nani mo tsukaenai ugokenai	No way would I hope to be
邪魔物でさ いたい訳がない	jamamono de saitai wake ga nai	A useless, unmoving hindrance.
あっちの水は苦いぞ	acchi no mizu wa nigai zo	The water over there is bitter.
こっちの水は甘いぞ	kocchi no mizu wa amai zo	The water over here is sweet.
そっちの沼は深いぞ	socchi no numa wa fukai zo	The pond right there is deep,
鰐魚の群れ	gakugyo no mure	Crawling with crocodiles.
ずっと思い出せなくて	zutto omoidasenakute	Never being able to remember,
ずっと哀しまれなくて	zutto kanashimarenakute	Never being mourned by anyone,
ずっと誰も知らないで	zutto dare mo shiranai de	Never being known by anybody,
寄る辺無く 息絶えるのに耐えられないや!	yorube naku ikitaeru no ni taerarenai ya!	To breathe my last with no one to lean on—I can’t bear that!
明日を避けないでいたいが	asu o sakenaide itai ga	I don’t want to avoid tomorrow,
明日も咲けないでいるんだ	asu mo sakenaide irun da	But I can’t bloom again tomorrow.
こんがらがる脳 寿命来るまで	kongaragaru nou jumyou kuru made	My brain’s entangled; until it’s depleted,
もう1回 もう1回	mou ikkai mou ikkai	One more time, one more time,
トゥモローして	tumoroo shite	Keep tomorrowing.
騒ぐフィルムに銀幕	sawagu firumu ni ginmaku	Noisy film, silver screen,
拍手喝采夢をみて	hakushukassai yume o mite	And a round of applause in my dream,
ラストシーン 気が狂うほどの静寂で飛び起きた	rasuto shiin ki ga kuruu hodo no seijaku de tobiokita	The maddening silence of the last scene made me jump out of bed.
塞がって虫も入らない部屋で掻き毟っているの	fusagatte mushi mo hairanai heya de kakimushitte iru no	I’m scratching myself in a closed room where no bugs can enter.
愛すら受け取れない抜け出せない	ai suru uketorenai mekedasenai	If I’m destined for days of a clone
クローンの日々なら	kuroon no hibi nara	Who can’t receive love or escape this place,
退治して 灰にして	taiji shite hai ni shite	Then exterminate me, burn me to ashes.
どうしてそれを持ってるの	dou shite sore o matteru no	Why are you holding onto that?
どうして嘘を言ってるの	dou shite uso o itteru no	Why are you telling a lie like that?
あっちにこっちにそっちに	acchi ni kocchi ni socchi ni	Here, there, and over there,
眼球がゆらりゆらり	gankyuu ga yurari yurari	Your eyeballs shift, darting around.
映し出す饗宴は美しくて	utsushidasu kyouen wa utsukushikute	The reflected feast was so beautiful
海の淵を越えて飛んでいく蝶々になった	umi no fuchi o koete tondeiku chouchou ni natta	That I became a butterfly soaring across the deep pool.
祈りの狭間の窓から投げたの	inori no hazama no mado kara nageta no	Through the window between prayers, I tossed
赤いお呪いの贄を束ねた花束を	akai omajinai no nie o tabaneta hanataba o	A bouquet of red, incantatory sacrifices bundled together.
あっちの水は苦いぞ	acchi no mizu wa nigai zo	The water over there is bitter.
こっちの水は甘いぞ	kocchi no mizu wa amai zo	The water over here is sweet.
そっちの沼は深いぞ	socchi no numa wa fukai zo	The pond right there is deep;
覚悟の上	kakugo no ue	Prepare yourself.
ずっと思い出せなくて	zutto omoidasenakute	Never being able to remember,
ずっと哀しまれなくて	zutto kanashimarenakute	Never being mourned by anyone,
ずっと誰も知らないで	zutto dare mo shiranai de	Never being known by anybody,
独りきり生きていくのに耐えられないわ!	hitorikiri ikiteiku no ni taerarenai wa!	To live my whole life on my own—I can’t bear that!
明日も咲けないでいるが	asu mo sakenaide iru ga	I can’t bloom again tomorrow,
明日は避けないでいたいな	asu o sakenaide itai na	But I don’t want to avoid tomorrow.
そんな想いも踏みにじるなら	sonna omoi mo fuminijiru nara	If they’re going to trample those feelings underfoot,
もういいか もういいか	mou iika mou iika	Then no more, then no more—
燃して	moshite	Burn them up.
私がいる世界は	watashi ga iru sekai wa	The world I’m in
きっと私以外の為の世界	kitto watashi igai no tame no sekai	Must be a world for everyone but me.
でも割れんばかりの拍手はムーサ	demo waren bakari no hakushu wa muusa	Yet, the thunderous applause was for a muse,
ずっと頭の中鳴っていた!	zutto atama no naka natteita!	Ringing through my head the whole time!
誰もが見ていく明日は不要	dare mo ga miteiku ashita wa fuyou	The tomorrow everybody’ll be watching is unneeded;
わたしだけが見る明日が貴重	watashi dake ga miru ashita ga kichou	The tomorrow only I can see is valuable.
とっ散らかる脳 迎え来るまで	tocchirakaru nou mukae kuru made	My brain’s messy; until it expires,
もう1回 もう1回	mou ikkai mou ikkai	One more time, one more time,
朦朧して	mourou shite	Keep dimming.
トゥモローして	tumoroo shite	Keep tomorrowing.

私ね	atashi ne	Y'know,
光りたいこと隠していたくない	hikaritai koto kakushite itakunai	I don't wanna keep hiding that I wanna shine
グラブジャムンより甘い	gurabu jamun yori amai	So carry me away with words
言葉で連れ出して	kotoba de tsuredashite	sweeter than Gulab jamun
可笑しいね	okashii ne	It's funny,
オークションでは見向きもされやしない	ookushon de wa mimuki mo sareyashinai	I was completely ignored at the auction house
古時計に『ヒッコリィ・ディッコリィ・ドック』	furudokei ni "hikkorii dikkori dokku"	It felt like the antique clock was laughing at me,
笑われた気がした	warawareta ki ga shita	"hickory dickory dock"
いつだって	itsudatte	Time and again,
大匙一杯の憧れと欲で	oosaji ippai no akogare to yoku de	a tablespoonful of yearning and craving
人はじきに破滅に向かうの	hito wa jiki ni hametsu ni mukau no	quickly leads people to their ruin—
そうでしょう?	sou deshou?	isn't that right?
だからって	dakara tte	But even so,
ハノイの塔 その下でずっといるの?	hanoi no tou sono shita de zutto iru no?	that doesn't mean they'll stay beneath that Tower of Hanoi forever, does it?
何も使えない動けない	nani mo tsukaenai ugokenai	Stuck in a hindrance, unable to use anything, unable to move—
邪魔物でさ いたい訳がない	jamamono de saitai wake ga nai	I'd rather be anywhere but there
あっちの水は苦いぞ	acchi no mizu wa nigai zo	The water over there is bitter
こっちの水は甘いぞ	kocchi no mizu wa amai zo	The water over here is sweet
そっちの沼は深いぞ	socchi no numa wa fukai zo	The marsh ahead is deep,
鰐魚の群れ	gakugyo no mure	and infested with crocodiles
ずっと思い出せなくて	zutto omoidasenakute	I may never be able to remember,
ずっと哀しまれなくて	zutto kanashimarenakute	and I may never be mourned,
ずっと誰も知らないで	zutto dare mo shiranai de	but I can't bear to breathe my last breath
寄る辺無く 息絶えるのに耐えられないや!	yorube naku ikitaeru no ni taerarenai ya!	having never known anyone or belonged anywhere!
明日を避けないでいたいが	asu o sakenaide itai ga	I want to live without avoiding tomorrow,
明日も咲けないでいるんだ	asu mo sakenaide irun da	but I'll just fail to blossom again tomorrow
こんがらがる脳 寿命来るまで	kongaragaru nou jumyou kuru made	Until my scrambled brain runs out of battery,
もう1回 もう1回	mou ikkai mou ikkai	one more time, one more time,
トゥモローして	tumoroo shite	I'll live tomorrow
騒ぐフィルムに銀幕	sawagu firumu ni ginmaku	I dreamt of a noisy film on the silver screen
拍手喝采夢をみて	hakushukassai yume o mite	getting a standing ovation,
ラストシーン 気が狂うほどの静寂で飛び起きた	rasuto shiin ki ga kuruu hodo no seijaku de tobiokita	and I jumped out of bed at the maddening silence of the last scene
塞がって虫も入らない部屋で掻き毟っているの	fusagatte mushi mo hairanai heya de kakimushitte iru no	In a sealed-off room that not even an insect could enter, I manically claw away at myself
愛すら受け取れない抜け出せない	ai suru uketorenai mekedasenai	If this is the day-to-day of a clone who can't receive even love,
クローンの日々なら	kuroon no hibi nara	who can't even break free,
退治して 灰にして	taiji shite hai ni shite	then exterminate me—turn me to ashes
どうしてそれを持ってるの	dou shite sore o matteru no	Why are you holding on to that?
どうして嘘を言ってるの	dou shite uso o itteru no	Why are you telling lies?
あっちにこっちにそっちに	acchi ni kocchi ni socchi ni	Here, there, and everywhere—
眼球がゆらりゆらり	gankyuu ga yurari yurari	eyeballs sway slowly, back and forth
映し出す饗宴は美しくて	utsushidasu kyouen wa utsukushikute	The reflected feast was beautiful,
海の淵を越えて飛んでいく蝶々になった	umi no fuchi o koete tondeiku chouchou ni natta	and as I crossed that deep blue sea, I became a soaring butterfly
祈りの狭間の窓から投げたの	inori no hazama no mado kara nageta no	From the window of the prayer space,
赤いお呪いの贄を束ねた花束を	akai omajinai no nie o tabaneta hanataba o	I tossed a bouquet of red charms, bundled together as an offering
あっちの水は苦いぞ	acchi no mizu wa nigai zo	The water over there is bitter
こっちの水は甘いぞ	kocchi no mizu wa amai zo	The water over here is sweet
そっちの沼は深いぞ	socchi no numa wa fukai zo	The marsh ahead is deep,
覚悟の上	kakugo no ue	but I'm prepared
ずっと思い出せなくて	zutto omoidasenakute	I may never be able to remember,
ずっと哀しまれなくて	zutto kanashimarenakute	and I may never be mourned,
ずっと誰も知らないで	zutto dare mo shiranai de	but I can't bear to live my whole life all alone,
独りきり生きていくのに耐えられないわ!	hitorikiri ikiteiku no ni taerarenai wa!	without ever knowing anyone!
明日も咲けないでいるが	asu mo sakenaide iru ga	I may fail to blossom again tomorrow,
明日は避けないでいたいな	asu o sakenaide itai na	but I still want to live without avoiding tomorrow
そんな想いも踏みにじるなら	sonna omoi mo fuminijiru nara	If they're going to crush even those feelings...
もういいか もういいか	mou iika mou iika	Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?
燃して	moshite	I'm fired up
私がいる世界は	watashi ga iru sekai wa	The world I'm living in
きっと私以外の為の世界	kitto watashi igai no tame no sekai	is surely not a world meant for me
でも割れんばかりの拍手はムーサ	demo waren bakari no hakushu wa muusa	But that applause on the verge of cracking open
ずっと頭の中鳴っていた!	zutto atama no naka natteita!	was a muse ringing in my head the whole time!
誰もが見ていく明日は不要	dare mo ga miteiku ashita wa fuyou	The tomorrow that everyone else will see is useless to me—
わたしだけが見る明日が貴重	watashi dake ga miru ashita ga kichou	mine and mine alone is precious
とっ散らかる脳 迎え来るまで	tocchirakaru nou mukae kuru made	Until death comes for my hopelessly scattered brain,
もう1回 もう1回	mou ikkai mou ikkai	one more time, one more time,
朦朧して	mourou shite	I'll brave the haze,
トゥモローして	tumoroo shite	and I'll live tomorrow
