[English]

Tonight

I'm chasing you

Beyond infinity

Crossing the planets

Crossing the universe

"Just by touching - "

Just by tearing

I'll take off to EXODUS

The time is now

Open the door

Who's more awesome than us? Tell me

Even if we do nothing, it makes a fuss

With this single blow, the whole city will sink

We rule the night

Because I shine in black

Every step I take, the road is a runway

My walk is like, "Don't get in my way"

Sharp like a Hattori Hanzo blade

I'll shoot with a blue steel gaze

Mugatu, you get it?

Overlaid with gold

My value

Won't waver, even beyond eternity

Color your words and couture

With color and desire

On this fateful night

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

GLAM

GLAM

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

GLAM

GLAM

GLAM

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

Dressed casually or naturally

Everything becomes a masterpiece

Look at the sneaker and T-shirt matching

7 different styles, like flipping through a magazine

Every day becomes fashion week

Like art, those who love fashion

I'm always on the cover, unstoppable

With a single pose, I take down the place, a different level of style

The only Elle I know is the magazine, any problems?

This is how a pretty girl walks

This is how a pretty girl talks

Chrome plates on my wrist

Who else can pull this off?

If you don't know, that's your problem

I'm changing my hairstyle like Rodman

Top to bottom, 5-star style

Everything we wear becomes a hot topic

Turn the hallway into a catwalk

Turn the sidewalk into a runway

Every day is a photo shoot

Paparazzi cover my style on every page

In the black windows of the car, inside

You can't see, but you know who it is

Open the door with the logo on it

No need to pose, even at the finish line

Shake the place, be ice-cold

Shining, cutting through the darkness

Like the glitter of a snow globe

I told you I'm carrying XGALX

That I'm going to change this Met into X GALA

I knew it

I really knew it

But...

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

Watch your step

Everything bows down to X

We're here to turn up the party

Make way

All metallic

Sweet, sexy, and wild

The best outfit

Swinging on my waist

Ladies, gather here

Haters, watch me slash

Bionic and mechanic

Thank you, Mr. Robot

Even if I don't say anything, my dress speaks

My style speaks

My movements speak

Lip gloss pops, like our discography

If it's not vibrant, it's not mine

I don't mean to diss anyone, but

I said "NEXT" to the former stylist

I instantly said "YES" to the hairstylist

I proudly carry XGALX

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

Decorated with golden radiance

Wearing a never-before-seen splendor

In the name of eternity

No need to pretend

You are an immortal flame

On this fateful night

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

WALK

WALK

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

WALK

WALK

WALK

I changed the Met Gala into X GALA

I don't understand anything anymore

[Japanese]

今夜

君を追いかけて

無限の先

惑星を越え

宇宙を渡って

"触れるだけで "

切り裂くだけで

EXODUSへ飛び立つ

その時は今

さあ扉を開けて

誰が私たちよりイケてる？ 答えてみな

何もせずとも、勝手にざわめく

この一撃で街ごと沈められる

うちらが夜を支配するの

黒に輝く私だから

歩くたび、道はランウェイ

邪魔すんなっていう歩き方

ハットリ・ハンゾーの刃みたいに鋭く

ブルースティールで決め撃つ

ムガトゥ、わかる？

黄金に重ねられた

わたしの価値は

永遠の時を超えても揺るがない

あなたの言葉とクチュールを

色と欲望に染めて

この運命の夜に

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

GLAM

GLAM

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

GLAM

GLAM

GLAM

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

ラフに着ても、ナチュラルに着ても

すべてがマスターピースになるの

スニーカーとTシャツのマッチング見て

雑誌をめくるみたいに7通りのスタイル

毎日がファッションウィークになる

アートみたい、ファッションを愛する者

いつも表紙を飾るわたしって、止められない存在

ポーズひとつで場を撃ち抜く、格が違うスタイル

私の知ってるElleは雑誌だけ、何か問題でも？

プリティガールの歩き方はこう

プリティガールの話し方はこう

手首にはクロームプレート

他に誰がこんな着こなしできるっていうの？

わからないなら　それは君の問題

ロッドマンばりにヘアスタイルを変えてる

頭から爪先まで5本の指に入るスタイル

私たちが纏うもの全てが話題になる

廊下をキャットウォークに変えて

歩道をランウェイに変えてしまう

毎日がフォトシュート

パパラッチは一面に私のスタイルを載せる

車の黒い窓、その中は

見えないけど誰かわかる

ロゴが刻まれたドアを開けて

フィニッシュラインでもポーズなんて要らない

場を揺さぶり　凍るほどクールに

闇を切り裂き輝く

スノーグローブのきらめきみたいに

XGALXを背負ってるって言ったでしょ

このMetをX GALAに変えるんだって

わかってた

本当によくわかってた

でも・・・

Met Gala を X GALA に変えたの

足元に気をつけて

全てがXにひれ伏す

パーティー　ぶちかましに来たから

道を空けて

全身メタリック

甘くてセクシーでワイルド

最高の装いを

腰に揺らして

レディーたちよ、こっちに集まって

ヘイターたちよ、私が斬るのを見ていなさい

バイオニックでメカニック

どうもありがとう、ミスター・ロボット

何も言わなくても、私のドレスが語り

スタイルが語り

動きが語る

リップグロスは弾ける、私たちのディスコグラフィーみたいに

鮮やかじゃなきゃ、私のものじゃない

誰かをディスるつもりはないけど

元スタイリストには「NEXT」って言った

ヘアスタイリストには「YES」って即答

私はXGALXを誇りに背負う者

Met Gala を X GALA に変えたの

黄金の輝きで飾り

見たことのない華やかさを纏い

永遠の名のもとに

偽る必要はない

あなたは不滅の炎

この運命の夜の

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

WALK

WALK

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

WALK

WALK

WALK

Met Gala を X GALAに塗り替えちゃった

もう何もわからない

Key Grammar Structures

• 今夜 君を追いかけて 無限の先

  ➔ Present Progressive + Particle 'を' + Noun + Postpositional Phrase

  ➔ The sentence uses the present progressive "追いかけて" (oikakete - chasing) to describe an action happening *now* (tonight). The particle 'を' marks '君' (kimi - you) as the direct object of the verb. '無限の先' (mugen no saki - beyond infinity) is a postpositional phrase indicating direction.

• 誰が私たちよりイケてる？ 答えてみな

  ➔ Interrogative Sentence + Comparative Adjective + Imperative Verb

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question using the comparative adjective "イケてる" (iketeru - cool/stylish). "答えてみな" (kotaete mina - answer me) is an imperative verb, adding a challenging tone. The sentence structure is designed to provoke a response.

• うちらが夜を支配するの

  ➔ Pronoun + Subject Marker + Object + Verb + Nominalizer

  ➔ "うちら" (uchira) is a colloquial pronoun meaning "we". "夜を" (yoru o) means "the night" (object). "支配するの" (haki suru no) means "to dominate", with "の" (no) acting as a nominalizer, turning the verb into a noun-like phrase, often used for emphasis or to express a statement of fact.

• ロゴが刻まれたドアを開けて

  ➔ Noun + Relative Clause + Verb

  ➔ "ロゴが刻まれた" (logo ga kizamareta) is a relative clause modifying "ドア" (doa - door). "刻まれた" (kizamareta) is the passive form of the verb "刻む" (kizamu - to engrave). The sentence means "Open the door with the logo engraved on it."
