月並みな言葉の中で、勘繰り合ふのです

貴方の睫毛が震えた、嘘が上手、嫌いじゃない

己を塗り固めた、善意をひっくるめて篩い落とすやうな

土砂降りの雨が僕たち濡らしてく

原物の手遊戯なら　いらない　しらない

真綿で首を絞めてちゃ、感じない

いのちを燃やし尽くし、業をしゃぶります

骨まで愛してちょうだい、安物のらいと

仄暗い春の中、貴方の顔を浮かべてる

一縷ぐらいは夢を、見させて下さいと。

愛と金の交換事、生きる為のお仕事

おとこは愚かな生き物、安請け合い、身の請け合い

そそぐ盃の果て、消し飛ぶ意識の中で光る

偽善のぬくもり、是も又、まぼろしで

乱暴に奪われたい　汚して、遺して

真水で愛を絞めてちゃ、感じない

けものに奪われてく、今宵もしゃべります

誰でも愛してちょうだい、落魄れた、ふぇいと

あの橋の上投げ捨て、何時か清き海に

流されてく、ぜんぶ流してよ、私を。

いのちを燃やし尽くし、業をしゃぶります

骨まで愛してちょうだい、安物のらいと

仄暗い春の中、貴方の顔を浮かべてる

一縷ぐらいは夢を、見させて下さいと。

Within our facade of clichéd lines, we suspect one another

Your eyelids twitch—a good liar you are, I don't hate it

Steeling oneself, as if to eliminate all and every trace of goodwill

The downpour of rain drenches us two

I don’t want to be a fake plaything, I don't even know

Cut to the chase already, or I won't feel a thing [1]

Burning down life itself, I suck on my karma [2]

Love me to the bone please; a cheap light

In this dark Spring, I remember your face

I beg of you, grant me even a shred of a dream.

Trading love for money, a job taken in order to live

Men are foolish creatures—they’re so quick to strike a deal, with their bodies

Filling my glass to the brim, a light glimmers amidst my scattering consciousness [3]

A hypocritical warmth is, once again, a mere fantasy

I want to be stolen violently, to be defiled and cast aside

Cut love with pure water, and I won't feel a thing [4]

Stolen by the beasts, I'm chatting away this night again

Would anyone love me please; a ruined fate

Abandon me on that bridge and one day, the limpid sea

Will wash it away—wash away everything that I am.

Burning down life itself, I suck on my karma

Love me to the bone please, cried the cheap light

In this dark Spring, I remember your face

I beg of you, grant me even a shred of a dream.

Even. For. A. Moment.

[1] The first part reads "strangle someone's neck with silk" which is used to mean dragging things out, not getting to the point, or torturing someone slowly.

[2] "Karma" is written 業 so it's about the Buddhist concept of karma, not the word karma in the modern sense.

[3] specifically a Sakazuki, a cup for alcoholic drinks.

[4] Literal is "Strangle love with pure water" which is meant to sound similar to the saying in note 1.
