[English]

The party is over

Even so, I wanted to dance

The flames of passion burn so bright I can't sleep, someday, somehow

From the start I knew, the flames will eventually fade away

Hey, I didn't need anything, I thought

But still, I'm so serious

Ah, there's still time

Ah, just burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling, it's not that sweet

But surely, it's not that bad

Ah, give me fire

Light it up, baby, I’ll burn it all down, yeah

...

Hey! Chiyo and Yachiyo, unchanged as always

Playing the fool, burning everything, like Osono-chan, the grocery girl

Come out, dance, sparks flying—your job is to ignite

Gasoline and steroids, the show’s a blazing spectacle

Playing with fire, I can't just pretend it's lukewarm

Sooty karma, magma drama, burning out trauma

This endless hunger, like blue flames

Death is just next to the past, soon everything will become one

Love is dying

But it’s not gone yet

I want to forget

The fire of passion someday, somehow

Our bodies realize it—we'll vanish someday

Softly melting youth away

Don’t cry, why so serious?

Ah, there's still time

Ah, just burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling, it’s not that sweet...

But surely, it’s not that bad

Ah, give me fire

Light it up, baby, I’ll burn it all down, yeah

...

Turn it up, turn it up—adding fuel to the fire, because it's not enough!

Sorry, darling, hurry up—ah, there’s still time

Sorry, darling, hurry up—ah, just burn it up

Give me fire

Light it up, baby, I’ll burn it all down, yeah

The party is over

Even so, I still wanted to dance

...

[Japanese]

Party is over

それでも踊りたかった

眠れないくらい 情熱の火はいつしか いつの日にか

はなから気付いている 焔はいつか消える

ねぇ なにも要らないはずだった

なのにまだ I'm so serious

あぁ まだ間に合う

あぁ ただ Burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling そんなに甘くないよ

でもきっとそんなに悪くないよ

あぁ Give me fire

Light it up, Baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

やぁ！千代も八千代 変わりもせずに

ひとのなり いとをかし 全部燃やせ八百屋お七

出でよ舞えよ火の粉 焚き付けるのが仕事

ガソリンとステロイド 燃えるさまはお見事

火遊びはしない ぬるいまね出来ない

しけたカルマ トラウマ燃やし尽くすマグマドラマ

この飽くなき渇き 青い炎みたい

死は過去のひとつ隣 やがて総てひとつとなり

Love is dying

でもまだ消えてないから

忘れてみたい

情熱の火はいつしか いつの日にか

身体は気づいている 僕らはいつか消える

ゆるやかに若さを溶かして

泣かないで Why so serious?

あぁ まだ間に合う

あぁ ただ Burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling そんなに甘くないよ...

でもきっとそんなに悪くないよ

あぁ Give me fire

Light it up, baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

Turn it up, Turn it up 足りない 注ぐ火に油!

Sorry, darling, Hurry up あぁ まだ間に合う

Sorry, darling, Hurry up あぁ ただ Burn it up

Give me fire

Light it up, baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

Party is over

それでも踊りたかった
