[English]

I wake up from another dream, opening my wet eyelids

Cursing the helplessness of distant days that I can't forget, to the point of madness

Could even despair that burns me become nourishment?

I continue to burn with longing

Your eyes, sparkling like stars

A pitiful lack of love, parched and dry?

A dazzling light that saves everything from loneliness

Is the shadow that falls only on me your fault?

You gave me a fatal flaw

A selfish giant star, a life driven mad

Please, let me hear your voice, let me hear your voice

Even the twisted scars that got tangled up

Only you gave them to me, only you

Please, keep looking at me, keep looking at me

Even the pain etched in fate becomes a weapon

So that I can illuminate even the regrets of the past

I can't live without you

I'm willing to give up everything

Your love is still not enough

What should I fill the missing pieces with?

A fatal, fatal, fatal love

A fateful, fateful, fateful I

An inevitable, inevitable, inevitable sorrow

Keep looking at me, my beloved fatal!

Your eyes, sparkling like stars

A pitiful lack of love, parched and dry?

To the beauty released from far away

Burned eyes, torn wings, creative fall

Jacking all perspectives

That brilliance is egotistical

Even the emotions locked deep in my chest

You pull them out and sublime them

Embracing all of my fate

I can't live without you

I want you to illuminate my body with your brightness

Your love is still not enough

Even though I can only receive it in dreams

A fatal, fatal, fatal love

A fateful, fateful, fateful I

An inevitable, inevitable, inevitable sorrow

Belonging to no one, my beloved fatal!

How many times have I regretted?

How many times have I cursed?

No matter how much happiness I poured in

An unfillable vessel

How many times have I dreamed?

How many times have I wished?

A hand that caresses the wound that continues to fester in my chest

I won't stop struggling on this stage

I want to get closer to that one eye

This fate that is firmly set

The darkness spilled from the light of that star

I can't live without you

I'm willing to give up everything

Your love is still not enough

What should I fill the missing pieces with?

A fatal, fatal, fatal love

A fateful, fateful, fateful I

An inevitable, inevitable, inevitable sorrow

Keep looking at me, my beloved fatal!

My beloved fatal

[Japanese]

また夢から覚める、濡れた瞼を開ける

狂おしいほど思い残す、遠い日の無力さを呪う

身を焼かれるような絶望も糧にはなろうか

憧れに焦がれるまま燃やし続けている

キラキラお星様宿したあなたのeyes

カラカラ渇いて可哀想なlack of 愛？

全てを孤独から救う眩しい光

僕にだけ落ちる影はあなたのせい？

致命的な欠落をくれたね

身勝手な巨星、狂わされた生

お願い、声を聞かせて、声を聞かせて

絡まって歪んでしまった傷さえ

くれたのはあなただけ、あなただけ

お願い、僕を見ていて、僕を見ていて

宿命に刻まれた痛みさえ武器にして

いつかの後悔すら照らせるように

あなたがいないと生きていけない

何もかも捧げてしまってもいい

あなたの愛がまだ足らない

欠けたものは何で埋めたらいい？

致命的、致命的、致命的な愛

運命的、運命的、運命的なI

必然的、必然的、必然的な哀

僕を見ていてね、最愛のファタール！

キラキラお星様宿したあなたのeyes

カラカラ渇いて可哀想なlack of 愛？

遥か彼方から放たれた美しさに

灼かれた眼、もがれた羽根、創造的堕天

あらゆる視界をジャック

その輝きはエゴイスティック

胸の奥仕舞った感情さえ

引っ張り出して昇華して

僕という運命を全部抱きしめていく

あなたがいないと生きていけない

眩しさでこの身を照らして欲しい

あなたの愛がまだ足らない

夢の中でもらうしかないのに

致命的、致命的、致命的な愛

運命的、運命的、運命的なI

必然的、必然的、必然的な哀

誰のものでもない、最愛のファタール！

何度悔やんだだろう

何度呪っただろう

どれほどの幸福を注いだとしても

満たされることのない器

何度夢見ただろう

何度願っただろう

僕の胸で膿み続けている傷を撫でる手を

この舞台で足掻くことをやめない

ただ一つのアイに近づきたい

固く定まったこの宿命

あの星の光からこぼれた闇

あなたがいないと生きていけない

何もかも捧げてしまってもいい

あなたの愛がまだ足らない

欠けたものは何で埋めたらいい？

致命的、致命的、致命的な愛

運命的、運命的、運命的なI

必然的、必然的、必然的な哀

僕を見ていてね、最愛のファタール！

最愛のファタール
