今宵 お邪魔をいたします

Tonight, I come to bother you

ひとつ 秘密を増やしましょう

Let's add one more secret

あなたが悪い 心は火照り

Your evil heart is burning hot

後悔先に立たず 罠へようこそ

Regret comes too late, welcome to the trap

唇 優しく重ねましょう

Let's softly press our lips together

指は 素肌に這わせましょう

Let's run our fingers over bare skin

絡まる吐息 体をのっとり

Breath tangled, taking over my body

枯れないバラのような 私をあげる

I'll give you a flower that never wilts

底で 骨の髄まで愛せるなら

If you can love me to your bones at the bottom

Pretending to be devoted

Hey hey hell 地獄をみるほどの

Hey hey hell, seeing hell itself

愛など 微塵もないくせに

Love that’s barely there, as if to jest

バラの香りに飢えたとき

When craving the scent of roses

夜の帳を狙いましょう

Aim for the night’s veil

アイツはちょろい この手に弱い

That guy’s easy, weak at this hand

欲の皮があるのね 見苦しすぎる

You’ve got greed on your skin, too disgusting
