Japanese	Romaji	English
文法が違う？ 語彙が違う？	bunpou ga chigau? goi ga chigau?	Wrong grammar? Wrong vocabulary?
音が違う？ 文字が違う？	oto ga chigau? moji ga chigau?	Wrong sounds? Wrong letters?
綴りが違う？ 語尾が違う？	tsuzuri ga chigau? gobi ga chigau?	Wrong spelling? Wrong suffixes?
声色が違う？ ……届かないな	kowairo ga chigau? ……todokanai na	Wrong tones? ……it won’t come across!
話がしたくて 全てを書き留めて	hanashi ga shitakute subete o kakitomete	I was eager to talk, so I wrote down everything.
諂う合間に全て消えてしまった	hetsurau aima ni subete kiete shimatta	While I was flattering, it all disappeared without a trace.
言葉を尽くした挙句がこうだ	kotoba o tsukushita ageku ga kou da	I explained in every way possible, and the result is this?!
La-Da-Dhala Dhi-la-Lada
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
行き場を失くした心の滞貨	ikiba o nakushita kokoro no taika	With nowhere to go, my heart is like a backlog.
La-Da-Dhala Li-Da-Dhila
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
それが語り得ぬものだとしたら	sore ga katari enu mono da to shitara	If that were something impossible to speak of,
沈黙するしかないな	chinmoku suru shika nai na	Then I would just have to clam up.
何が別う？ 何が異う？	nani ga chigau? nani ga chigau?	What is invalid? What is erroneous?
何が誤う？ 何が違うんだ？	nani ga chigau? nani ga chigau nda?	What is false? What is wrong, just what?
可視化した 然々には	kajika shita shikajika ni wa	The visualized such and such
確かに瑕疵が兆した	tashika ni kashi ga kizashita	Certainly showed some signs of defects.
神よりも 何よりも 残酷に 惨たらしく	kami yori mo nani yori mo zankoku ni mugotarashiku	No gods, no nothing was more cruel or horrible
この世界を定めた《第二文型(えすぶいしー)》	kono sekai o sadameta “esubuishii”	Than the determiner of the world: [SVC sentence pattern].
酣過ぎの宴に水を浴びせるみたいな《闇夜(らいら)》	takenawa sugi no utage ni mizu o abiseru mitai na “raira”	It was as if showering a banquet past its peak: [Layla]
最悪はいつだって想像の外にあるものさ	saiaku wa itsu datte souzou no soto ni aru mono sa	The worst case is always beyond the compass of your imagination!
幸か不幸か揺れ動く功過	kou ka fukou ka yureugoku kouka	Fortunately or unfortunately, wavering are pros and cons.
La-Da-Dhala Dhi-la-Lada
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
答えなど無いのに意地が悪いな	kotae nado nai no ni iji ga warui na	How can you be so mean when there’s no answer!
La-Da-Dhala Li-Da-Dhila
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
決して分かり合えぬ 奈落の向こう	kesshite wakariaenu naraku no mukou	We’ll never understand each other, so aiming beyond the abyss,
伸ばし続けている 腕	nobashitsuzukete iru kaina	We’ve always been stretching out our arms.
凡そ 語り得るものは全て明晰に語り得る	oyoso katarieru mono wa subete meiseki ni katarieru	Generally, that which can be spoken is clearly speakable with no exception.
世界が出来事の総体であるとするならば	sekai ga dekigoto no soutai de aru to suru naraba	Provided that the world were an aggregate of events,
その中に見出される余地の無い《私》の存在は	sono naka ni miidasareru yochi no nai “watashi” no sonzai wa	The existence of [me], which will never be discovered in the mass,
言語の外側 意識の埒外から 貴方を——	gengo no sotogawa ishiki no rachigai kara anata o——	Shall be outside language; in the exterior of consciousness, targeting you as——
名指されたものばかり	nazasareta mono bakari	Nothing but designated stuff!
的を外した詞書 謂れを騙る物語	mato o hazushita kotobagaki iware o kataru monogatari	A foreword, off the mark. A story, fabricating history.
これが愛であるものか	kore ga ai de aru mono ka	Like hell you could call it love!

定義の中溶けた予定調和が	teigi no naka toketa yoteichouwa ga	Amid the definition, the pre-established harmony dissolved,
苛むのは狂おしき過飽和	sainamu no wa kuruoshiki kahouwa	Tormenting the maddening supersaturation.
共感性の合間 立ち昇る泡沫が ただ一つの証左	kyoukansei no aima tachi noboru houmatsu ga tada hitotsu no shousa	In between empathy, the ascending bubbles are the only proof.
暗がりには揺れる篝火と	kuragari ni wa yureru kagaribi to	In the dark are a flickering bonfire
月明りを目指し燻る狼火	tsukiakari o mezashi kuyuru rouka	And a beacon smoldering for moonlight.
「どうか、」「どうか！」「どうか！！」	"douka," "dou ka!" "dou ka!!"	“Please,” “Please!” “Please!!”
黙したままで立ち上がるジョーカー	modashita mama de tachiagaru jookaa	Remaining silent, the joker stands up.
言葉を尽くした挙句の淘汰	kotoba o tsukushita ageku no touta	I explained in every way possible, and the result is elimination?!
La-Da-Dhala Dhi-la-Lada
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
行き場が無いのは貴方の方だ	ikiba ga nai no wa anata no hou da	The one with nowhere to go is you.
La-Da-Dhala Li-Da-Dhila
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
街を焼き尽くす嘆きの大火は	machi o yakitsukusu nageki no taika wa	The conflagration of lament, consuming the whole town,
路地から溢れ来るだろう	roji kara afure kuru darou	Will overflow the streets and arrive here.
言葉を失くした言葉の刃	kotoba o nakushita kotoba no yaiba	Those stabbing words are lost for words.
La-Da-Dhala Li-Da-Dhila
Lu-Da-Dhula Da
それは音楽か 祈りの声か	sore wa ongaku ka inori no koe ka	Is it music, or is it prayer?
閉ざされた喉の奥から	tozasareta nodo no oku kara	From the bottom of the closed throat,
零れ落ちたのは 恙無い世界に	koboreochita no wa tsutsuganai sekai ni	Something spilled over—It was a calamity
必ず仇を為す災禍	kanarazu ada o nasu saika	That will definitely take revenge on the peaceful world.
