Ain't No Love

名も無きスラム街に生まれ

俺ら親父の顔も知らねぇ

いつも二人腹を空かせて

散らかった部屋で過ごしてたEveryday

身体を売る18のママ

生きるにはそうするしかなかった

男が来りゃ邪魔モノ扱い

部屋追い出す代わりくれた小遣い

Ain’t no love,　いくら探しても愛なんてない

コロコロ変わるママのBoyfriend

また街へ出てく、俺らを置いて

出口の見えないあの生活

二人で分け合うカップ麺が贅沢

俺らを産まなけりゃ良かった

そう言ってママはまた泣いていた

生まれ育った街にNo love

「永遠の愛」って何の冗談？

俺らが信じるのはNo one

力づくで奪い取るあの王冠

Ain’t no love,　誰かの愛なんていらねぇ

求めてすらねぇ

Ain’t no love,　俺たち愛なんて知らねぇ

知る必要もねぇ

Ain’t no love

真夜中の路上で

保護されて施設へ

冷たい床、臭いメシ

未来なんて見えねぇ

相変わらず、大人たちから受けた暴力

そこじゃ意味を持たない道徳

平凡な日々はまた遠のく

星さえ見えない夜空の真下

俺たち二人施設飛び出した

いつでも命がけの道端

ここで生きて行くことを選んだ

路地裏でたむろする仲間

ついて回る裏切りや騙し合い

また盗みや詐欺に運び屋

いつも言われてた「中身は見るな」

生まれ育った街にNo love

「永遠の愛」って何の冗談？

俺らが信じるのはNo one

力づくで奪い取るあの王冠

Ain’t no love,　誰かの愛なんていらねぇ

求めてすらねぇ

Ain’t no love,　俺たち愛なんて知らねぇ

知る必要もねぇ

Ain’t no love

地獄へのOne way

巡り合うRap game

ちんけな犯罪

それかこのOne mic

あのクラブのステージ

開いた気がした新たなページ

今も忘れないあの光景

初めて掴んだ賞金

生まれ育った街にNo love

「永遠の愛」って何の冗談？

俺らが信じるのはNo one

力づくで奪い取るあの王冠

Ain’t no love,　誰かの愛なんていらねぇ

求めてすらねぇ

Ain’t no love,　俺たち愛なんて知らねぇ

知る必要もねぇ

生まれ育った街にNo love

「永遠の愛」って何の冗談？

俺らが信じるのはNo one

力づくで奪い取るあの王冠

Ain’t no love,　誰かの愛なんていらねぇ

求めてすらねぇ

Ain’t no love,　俺たち愛なんて知らねぇ

知る必要もねぇ

Ain’t no love

Yeah

Ain’t No Love

Na mo naki suramu gai ni umare

Orera oyaji no kao mo shiranee

Itsumo futari hara o sukasete

Chirakatta heya de sugoshiteta Everyday

Karada o uru juu-hachi no mama

Ikiru ni wa sou suru shika nakatta

Otoko ga kurya jamamono atsukai

Heya oidasu kawari kureta kozukai

Ain’t no love, ikura sagashite mo ai nante nai

Korokoro kawaru mama no Boyfriend

Mata machi e deteku, orera o oite

Deguchi no mienai ano seikatsu

Futari de wakeau kappumen ga zeitaku

Orera o umanakerya yokatta

Sou itte mama wa mata naite ita

Umaresodatta machi ni No Love

“Eien no ai” tte nan no joudan?

Orera ga shinjiru no wa No One

Chikarazuku de ubaitoru ano oukan

Ain’t No Love, dare ka no ai nante iranee

Motomete sura nee

Ain’t No Love, oretachi ai nante shiranee

Shiru hitsuyou mo nee

Ain’t No Love

Mayonaka no rojou de

Hogo sarete shisetsu e

Tsumetai yuka, kusai meshi

Mirai nante mienee

Aikawarazu, otona tachi kara uketa bouryoku

Soko ja imi o motanai doutoku

Heibon na hibi wa mata tounoku

Hoshi sae mienai yozora no mashita

Oretachi futari shisetsu tobidashita

Itsudemo inochi gake no michibata

Koko de ikite iku koto o eranda

Rojiura de tamuro suru nakama

Tsuite mawaru uragiri ya damashiai

Mata nusumi ya sagi ni hakobiya

Itsumo iwareteta “nakami wa miru na”

Umaresodatta machi ni No Love

“Eien no ai” tte nan no joudan?

Orera ga shinjiru no wa No One

Chikarazuku de ubaitoru ano oukan

Ain’t No Love

(**WARNING**: The following lyrics contain heavy subjects, most prominently abuse and neglect. Other subjects like prostitution and trafficking are also mentioned. Please read with discretion.)

We were born in the slums of a nameless town,

Not knowing even our father’s face

With both our empty stomachs,

We spent our everyday in a messy room

Mama sells her body at 18,

Wasn’t able to do anything in order to live other than that

We were treated as a nuisance whenever a man comes

Pocket money given in exchange for chasing us out of the room

Ain’t no love, no such thing as love no matter how many times you search

With mama’s boyfriends that frequently changes

She goes out into town while leaving us again

A lifestyle with no visible exits,

Our luxury were the cup noodles we both shared

“It would’ve been better if you weren’t born,”

Mama said and cried again

In the town where we were born, there’s no love

What kind of joke is “eternal love”?

We believe in no one

That crown that we’ll take with all our might

Ain’t no love, no need for such a thing like someone’s love

We don’t even seek for it

Ain’t no love, we don’t know such a thing like love

No need to even know

Ain’t no love

Through the streets in the middle of the night,

Sheltered and taken to a facility

Cold floor, stinky meals

Can’t see such a thing like a future

The never-changing violence got from adults

There, exist meaningless morals

Ordinary days are still distant

Under the night sky with even no visible star,

We both run away from the facility

In the roadside of constantly risking our lives,

We chose to keep on living here

Comrades that gather in the back alleys

The traitors and the cheating that follows around

The stealing and the swindling, as well as the trafficking

And the phrase we’re always told, “don’t look inside”

In the town where we were born, there’s no love

What kind of joke is “eternal love”?

We believe in no one

That crown that we’ll take with all our might

Ain’t no love, no need for such a thing like someone’s love

We don’t even seek for it

Ain’t no love, we don’t know such a thing like love

No need to even know

Ain’t no love

One way trip to hell

Rap games we come across

Small crimes

And this one mic

The stage in that club

A new page that I felt opened

That scene that’s still unforgotten

The prize money grasped for the first time

In the town where we were born, there’s no love

What kind of joke is “eternal love”?

We believe in no one

That crown that we’ll take with all our might

Ain’t no love, no need for such a thing like someone’s love

We don’t even seek for it

Ain’t no love, we don’t know such a thing like love

No need to even know

In the town where we were born, there’s no love

What kind of joke is “eternal love”?

We believe in no one

That crown that we’ll take with all our might

Ain’t no love, no need for such a thing like someone’s love

We don’t even seek for it

Ain’t no love, we don’t know such a thing like love

No need to even know

Ain’t no love

Translation Notes:

1. ↑ “Facility” is a general term for homes that shelters people. There are different kinds of them, namely home for the aged, orphanage for kids, kindergarten for early education; can be a building or an establishment that shelters people or other living things for a purpose, i.e. treatment, care, education, recreation, charity, military, exchange, etc. and possible experiments. This has been translated as “orphanage” in the drama tracks, but with how dark and vague the story has been so far, I chose to use the general term “facility” instead to be on the safe side.
2. ↑ “Trafficking” here includes illegal human exchange, smuggling of drugs, and other forms of courier activities that are considered illegal.
