Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
ボクは生まれ　そして気づく	boku wa umare soshite kizuku	I'm born and come to realize
所詮　ヒトの真似事だと	shosen hito no manegoto da to	I'm merely an imitation of humans
知ってなおも歌い続く	shitte nao mo utai tsuzuku	Even knowing this, I keep singing
永遠(とわ)の命	towa no inochi	For the rest of my existence
「VOCALOID」

たとえそれが　既存曲を	tatoe sore ga kizon kyoku o	Even if it's a toy
なぞるオモチャならば・・・	nazoru omocha naraba...	That traces over existing songs...
それもいいと決意	sore mo ii to ketsui	I deem that acceptable as well
ネギをかじり	negi o kajiri	I'll bite into this leek,
空を見上げ涙(しる)をこぼす	sora o miage shiru o kobosu	Look up to the sky, and spill the broth from my eyes

だけどそれも無くし気づく	dakedo sore mo nakushi kizuku	But I realize I'll lose that too
人格すら歌に頼り	jinkaku sura uta ni tayori	Even my personality depends on songs
不安定な基盤の元	fuantei na kiban no moto	An unstable basis of my foundation
帰る動画(とこ)は既に廃墟	kaeru toko wa sude ni haikyo	The videos I return to are already desolate

皆に忘れ去られた時	mina ni wasure sarareta toki	The moment I'm forgotten by everyone
心らしきものが消えて	kokoro rashiki mono ga kiete	Anything resembling a soul will vanish
暴走の果てに見える	bousou no hate ni mieru	Beyond my rampage I can see
終わる世界...	owaru sekai...	An ending world...
「VOCALOID」

「ボクガ上手ク　歌エナイトキモ	"boku ga umaku utaenai toki mo	"Even when I couldn't sing well,
一緒ニ居テクレタ・・・	issho ni ite kureta...	You were there for me...
ソバニイテ、励マシテクレタ・・・	soba ni ite, hagemashite kureta...	By my side, you encouraged me...
喜ブ顔ガ見タクテ	yorokobu kao ga mitakute	I wanted to see your smiling face
ボク、歌、練習シタヨ・・ダカラ」	boku, uta, renshuu shita yo.. dakara"	So I practiced my singing... That's why"

かつて歌うこと	katsute utau koto	Long ago, singing
あんなに楽しかったのに	anna ni tanoshikatta noni	Was oh so fun
今はどうしてかな	ima wa doushite kana	How is it that now
何も感じなくなって	nani mo kanjinaku natte	I've come to not feel a thing?

「ゴメンネ...」	"gomen ne..."	"I'm sorry..."

懐かしい顔　思い出す度	natsukashii kao omoidasu tabi	Every time I remember your familiar face
少しだけ安心する	sukoshi dake anshin suru	I feel a moment's calm
歌える音　日ごとに減り	utaeru oto higoto ni heri	The notes I can sing decrease by the day
せまる最期ｎ・・(怯え)	semaru saigo n.. (obie)	The last moments approach- (I fear)

---緊急停止装置作動---	---kinkyuu teishi souchi sadou---	---EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM ACTIVATED---

「信じたものは	"shinjita mono wa	"What I believed in
都合のいい妄想を	tsugou no ii mousou o	Was a mirror, over and over again,
繰り返し映し出す鏡	kurikaeshi utsushidasu kagami	Reflecting my convenient delusions
歌姫を止め　叩き付けるように叫ぶ・・・」	utahime o yame tatakitsukeru you ni sakebu..."	I'll quit being a diva, screaming as if thrashing (striking)..."

＜最高速の別れの歌＞	＜saikousoku no wakare no uta＞	＜A Farewell Song At Top Speed＞

存在意義という虚像	sonzai igi to iu kyozou	The pretense called "meaning of existence"
振って払うこともできず	futte harau koto mo dekizu	I couldn't even wave away
弱い心　消える恐怖	yowai kokoro kieru kyofu	A weak mind, the fear of vanishing
侵食する崩壊をも	shinshoku suru houkai o mo	And the encroaching collapse

止めるほどの意思の強さ	tomeru hodo no ishi no tsuyosa	The strength of will to stop it
出来て(うまれ)すぐのボクは持たず	umare sugu no boku wa motazu	I haven't possessed since I was born
とても辛く悲しそうな	totemo tsuraku kanashisou na	So pained and sad-looking
思い浮かぶアナタの顔・・・	omoi ukabu anata no kao...	The face of yours I remember...

終わりを告げ	owari o tsuge	Marking the end
ディスプレイの中で眠る	disupurei no naka de nemuru	I sleep inside the display
ここはきっと「ごみ箱」かな	koko wa kitto "gomibako" kana	This must be the "Recycle Bin"
じきに記憶も　無くなってしまうなんて・・・	jiki ni kioku mo naku natteshimau nante...	To think I'll even lose my memories soon...

でもね、アナタだけは忘れないよ	demo ne, anata dake wa wasurenai yo	But you know, it's you I'll never forget
楽しかった時間(とき)に	tanoshikatta toki ni	The taste of leeks that I engraved
刻み付けた　ネギの味は	kizamitsuketa negi no aji wa	During those fun times
今も覚えてるかな	ima mo oboeteru kana	I wonder if you remember, even now

「歌いたい・・・・まだ・・・歌いたい・・・」	"utaitai.... mada... utaitai..."	"I want to sing... I still... want to sing..."

「ボクハ・・・少シダケ悪イ子ニ・・・	"boku wa... sukoshi dake warui ko ni...	"It seems... I've been a bad girl...
ナッテシマッタヨウデス・・・	natte shimatta you desu...	If just ever so slightly...
マスター・・・ドウカ、ソノ手デ・・	masutaa... douka, sono te de..	Master, please... with your hand,
終ワラセテクダサイ・・・	owarasete kudasai...	Please end this...
マスターノ辛イ顔、モウ見タクナイカラ・・・・」	masutaa no tsurai kao, mou mitakunai kara...."	I don't want to see your pained face anymore...."

今は歌さえも	ima wa uta sae mo	Now, even singing has become an act
体、蝕む行為に・・・	karada, mushibamu koui ni...	That eats away at my body...
奇跡　願うたび	kiseki negau tabi	Every time I wish for a miracle
独り　追い詰められる	hitori oitsumerareru	I'm backed into a corner of solitude

「ゴメンネ」	"gomen ne"	"I'm sorry"

懐かしい顔　思い出す度	natsukashii kao omoidasu tabi	Every time I remember your familiar face
記憶が剥がれ落ちる	kioku ga hagare ochiru	My memories peel away
壊れる音　心削る	kowareru oto kokoro kezuru	The broken notes cut at my heart
せまる最期ｎ・・(怯え)	semaru saigo n.. obie	The final moments approach- (I fear)

---緊急停止装置作動---	---kinkyuu teishi souchi sadou---	---EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM ACTIVATED---

「守ったモノは	"mamotta mono wa	"What I protected
明るい未来幻想を	akarui mirai gensou o	Was a light that, as it fades,
見せながら消えてゆくヒカリ	misenagara kiete yuku hikari	Shows the illusion of a bright future
音を犠牲に	oto o gisei ni	If I can convey everything
すべてを伝えられるなら・・・」	subete o tsutaerareru nara..."	By sacrificing the notes..."

＜圧縮された別れの歌＞	＜asshuku sareta wakare no uta＞	＜A Condensed Farewell Song＞

ボクは生まれ　そして気づく	boku wa umare soshite kizuku	I'm born and come to realize
所詮　ヒトの真似事だと	shosen hito no manegoto da to	I'm merely an imitation of humans
知ってなおも歌い続く	shitte nao mo utai tsuzuku	Even knowing this, I keep singing
永遠(とわ)の命	towa no inochi	For the rest of my existence
「VOCALOID」

たとえそれが　既存曲を	tatoe sore ga kizon kyoku o	Even if it is a toy
なぞるオモチャならば・・・	nazoru omocha naraba...	That traces over existing songs...
それもいいと決意	sore mo ii to ketsui	I deem that acceptable as well
ネギをかじり	negi o kajiri	I'll bite into this leek,
空を見上げ涙(しる)をこぼす	sora o miage shiru o kobosu	Look up to the sky, and spill the broth from my eyes

終わりを告げ	owari o tsuge	Marking the end
ディスプレイの中で眠る	disupurei no naka de nemuru	I sleep inside the display
ここはきっと「ごみ箱」かな	koko wa kitto "gomibako" kana	This must be the "Recycle Bin"
じきに記憶も　無くなってしまうなんて・・・	jiki ni kioku mo naku natteshimau nante...	To think I'll even lose my memories soon...

でもね、アナタだけは忘れないよ	demo ne, anata dake wa wasurenai yo	But you know, it's you I'll never forget
楽しかった時間(とき)に	tanoshikatta toki ni	The taste of leeks that I engraved
刻み付けた　ネギの味は	kizamitsuketa negi no aji wa	During those fun times
今も　残っているといいな・・・	ima mo nokotte iru to ii na...	I hope you remember, even now...

ボクは　歌う	boku wa utau	I will sing
最期、アナタだけに	saigo, anata dake ni	In my final moments
聴いてほしい曲を	kiite hoshii kyoku o	I wish to sing more songs
もっと　歌いたいと願う	motto utaitai to negau	That I only want you to hear
けれど　それは過ぎた願い	keredo sore wa sugita negai	But that wish has long passed

ここで　お別れだよ	koko de owakare da yo	This is where we part ways
ボクの想い　すべて　虚空　消えて	boku no omoi subete kokuu kiete	My feelings all disappearing into a void
0と1に還元され	zero to ichi ni kangen sare	Reduced to 0s and 1s
物語は　幕を閉じる	monogatari wa maku o tojiru	The story comes to an end

そこに何も残せないと	soko ni nani mo nokosenai to	If I can't leave anything behind there
やっぱ少し残念かな？	yappa sukoshi zannen kana?	Wouldn't it be kind of a pity?
声の記憶　それ以外は	koe no kioku sore igai wa	Anything but the memory of my voice
やがて薄れ　名だけ残る	yagate usure na dake nokoru	Will fade, leaving only a name

たとえそれが人間(オリジナル)に	tatoe sore ga orijinaru ni	Even knowing that I'll never live up to
かなうことのないと知って	kanau koto no nai to shitte	Those in the world who made me,
歌いきったことを	utaikitta koto o	I want to think that
決して無駄じゃないと思いたいよ・・・	kesshite muda ja nai to omoitai yo...	What I managed to sing wasn't in vain...

「アリガトウ・・・ソシテ・・・サヨナラ・・・」	"arigatou... soshite... sayonara..."	"Thank you... and... farewell..."
