[Lyrics] NIGHT PARADE / vistlip
I'm in the process of teaching myself Japanese, and occasionally I challenge myself to take on some fun projects instead of burying my nose in dusty textbooks all the time. This, my first real challenge, is my attempt at translating vistlip's song "NIGHT PARADE" from the "STRAWBERRY BUTTERFLY" single.
If you see parts that are incorrect or can be translated more clearly, please comment! (But since I'm trying to learn, please try to explain why. ^^)
NIGHT PARADE / vistlip
from STRAWBERRY BUTTERFLY (2010.5.12}
Lyrics: TOMO
Music: Yuh
Kanji:
逃げたかった？
死にたかった？
そんな貴女へ*
チケットはいらないから
お気の召すがまま
ララバイ
おいでよ銃声＆悲鳴で始まるパレード
ララバイ
片足の女性を操り踊らすバレエと
ララバイ
片腕のマエストロはオケをナイフで先導
ララバイ
片目の人形は縫われた唇で歌唄う
さぁ開演だ
貸し切りでございます
聞きたいなぁあの言葉
「もうやめて！」って
消えたかった？
殺したかった？
そんな貴女へ
自分勝手理不尽ガキ
君は知らない
ララバイ
おいでよ銃声＆悲鳴で始まるパレード
ララバイ
片足の女性を操り踊らすバレエと
ララバイ
片腕のマエストロはオケをナイフで先導
ララバイ
片目の人形は縫われた唇で歌唄う
さぁパーティーだ
お客様を持て成せ
次は誰で遊びたい？
仰せ通り
産んでくれた事さえ忘れてしまった君は誰だろう？
ララバイ
おいでよ銃声＆悲鳴で始まるパレ―ド
ララバイ
「サヨナラ。」
ハグしてくれた彼達に告げよ
ララバイ
「オヤスミ。」
唄ってくれた唇にキスを
ララバイ
「ありがとう。」
片目のピエロは裂けた口で笑う
さぁ開演だ
出口はこちらのゲート
グチャグチャに泣き腫らして撫でて欲しいかい？
さぁ帰ろうか
君の愛すべき世界へ
おわかりいただけたならもう大丈夫だから

English:
Did you want to escape?
Did you want to die?
Becoming that kind of you*
A ticket isn’t necessary from
your spirit’s call as it is
LULLABY
Come, the parade begins in gunshots & shouts
LULLABY
A one-legged woman is made to dance ballet and
LULLABY
A one-armed maestro leads an orchestra with a knife
LULLABY
A one-eyed doll sings a song with sewn lips
Now it starts
The private party
I want to hear those words
‘Stop it!’
Did you want to disappear?
Did you want to kill?
Becoming that kind of you*
Selfish unreasonable brat
You don’t know
LULLABY
Come, the parade begins in gunshots & shouts
LULLABY
A one-legged woman is made to dance ballet and
LULLABY
A one-armed maestro leads an orchestra with a knife
LULLABY
A one-eyed doll sings a song with sewn lips
Come on, it’s a party
Entertain the honored guests
Who wants to come next?
As you wish
I wonder who you are who forgot even being born?
LULLABY
Come, the parade begins in gunshots & shouts
LULLABY
‘Goodbye.’
Let’s tell the guys who hugged us
LULLABY
‘Good night.’
To kiss the lips that sang
LULLABY
‘Thanks.’
The one-eyed clown laughs with a torn mouth
Now it starts
This gate is the exit
Do you want to cry your eyes out and then gently caress?
Now then, shall we come back
to your beloved world?
If you understand, it’s already alright
*The lyric is written貴女, but the lyric when sung is あなた. Kijo seems to be a literary second person form of you (feminine) that isn’t widely used. It may also have the connotation of demoness or devil woman.
