Japanese 	Romaji 	English
あたしが愛を語るのなら 	atashi ga ai o kataru no nara 	If I was to express my love’express my love’ is something like an.. um... expression, the literal word is ‘tell’ or ‘recite’,
その眼には如何、映像る？ 	sono me ni wa dou, utsuru? 	how exactly would it be projected on those eyes?
詞は有り余るばかり 	kotoba wa ariamaru bakari 	Words {are always} nothing but excessive,
無垢の音が流れてく 	muku no ne ga nagareteku 	a pure sound streams on...
あなたが愛に塗れるまで 	anata ga ai ni mamireru made 	Until you are smeared entirely with love,
その色は幻だ 	sono iro wa maboroshi da 	that colour is but a mirage.
ひとりぼっち、音に呑まれれば 	hitoribocchi, oto ni nomarereba 	All alone, when I am engulfed by sound,
全世界共通の快楽さ 	zensekai kyoutsuu no kairaku sa 	{it is} universal delight.
 	 	
つまらない茫然に溺れる暮らし 	tsumaranai bouzen ni oboreru kurashi 	A livelihood indulging in boring stupefaction,
誰もが彼をなぞる 	dare mo ga kare o nazoru 	everyone traces after him
繰り返す使い回しの歌に 	kurikaesu tsukaimawashi no uta ni 	Yet again I plugged up my ears,
また耳を塞いだ 	mata mimi o fusaida 	against a repeating, reused song
あなたが愛を語るのなら 	anata ga ai o kataru no nara 	If you are to express your love,
それを答とするの？ 	sore o kotae to suru no? 	will that {then be used as} your answer?

この曲で醒ましてくれ！ 	kono kyoku de samashite kure! 	then please open them with this song!
 	 	
誰も知らぬ物語　思うばかり 	dare mo shiranu monogatari omou bakari 	I think of nothing but that story unknown to all,
壊れそうなくらいに　抱き締めて泣き踊った 	kowaresou na kurai ni dakishimete naki odotta 	I embraced {it} close {and} danced, shedding tears, to the point of almost breaking
見境無い感情論　許されるのならば 	misakai nai kanjouron yurusareru no naraba 	If a sentimental argument void of distinction is allowed then…*I think you could also interpret the last block as two bits instead of one : “If a sentimental argument void of distinction is allowed then…I swallowed it all back down, still unable to even burst into tears” & “I have a heart seemingly on the verge of bursting apart -- Let me scream that!” but I think what I have makes more sense as a cohesive fitting in with the rest of the context.
泣き出すことすらできないまま　呑み込んでった 	nakidasu koto sura dekinai mama nomikondetta 	I have a heart seemingly on the verge of breaking apart,
張り裂けてしまいそうな心があるってこと、 	harisakete shimaisou na kokoro ga aru tte koto, 	that I swallowed back down, unable to even burst into tears
叫ばせて！ 	sakebasete!

今、愛の唄　歌わせてくれないかな 	ima, ai no uta utawasete kurenai kana 	right now, I wonder if you won’t let me sing a song of love?
もう一回　誰も知らないその想い 	mou ikkai dare mo shiranai sono omoi 	I wonder if it’s ok to try and entrust those feelings,
この声に預けてみてもいいかな 	kono koe ni azukete mite mo ii kana 	unknown to all, upon this voice one more time?
 	 	
あなたには僕が見えるか？ 	anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? 	Can you see me?
あなたには僕が見えるか？ 	anata ni wa boku ga mieru ka? 	Can you see me?
ガラクタばかり 	garakuta bakari 	That back,
投げつけられてきたその背中 	nagetsukerarete kita sono senaka 	that got nothing but junk thrown at it,
それでも好きと言えたなら 	soredemo suki to ieta nara 	If even then they were able to say they loved {it}interpreted the person who got stuff thrown at their back being the subject here, but you could probably just about manage to interpret it as “if even then I was able to say I loved it” as well
それでも好きを願えたら 	soredemo suki o negaetara 	If even then they were able to wish for love
ああ、あたしの全部に 	aa, atashi no zenbu ni 	Aa, {perhaps that says}
その意味はあると── 	sono imi wa aru to── 	that meaning lies in my everything --
 	 	
ねえ、愛を語るのなら 	nee, ai o kataru no nara 	Hey, if you’re going to express your love,

心臓を抱えて生きてきたんだ！ 	shinzou o kakaete ikite kita nda! 	I lived shouldering my own heart!
 	 	
ドッペルもどきが　其処いらに溢れた 	dopperu modoki ga soko ira ni afureta 	Pseudo-doppelgangers overflowed over there
挙句の果ての今日 	ageku no hate no kyou 	And finally, today, at the end of it all;
ライラ　ライ　ライ 	raira rai rai 	Liela lie lie!
心失きそれを　生み出した奴等は 	kokoro naki sore o umidashita yatsura wa 	They, who created those {things} void of heart
見切りをつけてもう 	mikiri o tsukete mou 	Give up {and} wash their hands of it all;
バイ　ババイ　バイ 	bai babai bai 	Bye b-bye bye!

何千回と巡らせ続けた　喜怒と哀楽 	nanzenkai to megurase tsuzuketa kido to airaku 	The joy anger grief and pleasure that I continued to circle through”circle through” could also be “think over” but since there’s multiple and it’s already a given that emotions would be something in your mind I choose circle through.,
失えない喜びが 	ushinaenai yorokobi ga 	thousands upon thousands of times
この世界にあるならば 	kono sekai ni aru naraba 	If the joy I can’t part with is in this world
手放すことすら出来ない哀しみさえ　あたしは 	tebanasu koto sura dekinai kanashimi sae atashi wa 	will I end up turning even that unrelinquishable grief
この心の中つまはじきにしてしまうのか？ 	kono kokoro no naka tsumahajiki ni shite shimau no ka?	into a black sheep within this heart?interpreted this block as “あたしはその心の中で[...]悲しみをつまはじきにしてしまうのか”
I think? you could also take it as (something along the lines of) ‘turning the insides of that heart into a black sheep’ or ‘turning myself into a black sheep in that heart’, but I think what I have makes more sense cohesively, and connects to the previous! Oh and the black sheep word is synonymous with ‘ostracism’
それは、いやだ！ 	sore wa, iya da! 	I sure wouldn’t like that!
 	 	
どうやって　この世界を愛せるかな 	dou yatte kono sekai o aiseru kana 	Just how can I love this world?

ねえ、あいをさけぶのなら 	nee, ai no sakebu no nara 	Hey, if you’re gonna scream about your love
