火炎(FLAME)

• By: 女王蜂

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

Party is over

The party is over

それでも踊りたかった

Even so, I wanted to dance

眠れないくらい 情熱の火はいつしか いつの日にか

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

はなから気付いている 焔はいつか消える

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

ねぇ なにも要らないはずだった

Hey, I didn't need anything, I thought

なのにまだ I'm so serious

But still, I'm so serious

あぁ まだ間に合う

Ah, there's still time

あぁ ただ Burn it up, baby

Ah, just burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling そんなに甘くないよ

Sorry, darling, it's not that sweet

でもきっとそんなに悪くないよ

But surely, it's not that bad

あぁ Give me fire

Ah, give me fire

Light it up, Baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

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

...

...

やぁ！千代も八千代 変わりもせずに

Hey! Chiyo and Yachiyo, unchanged as always

ひとのなり いとをかし 全部燃やせ八百屋お七

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

出でよ舞えよ火の粉 焚き付けるのが仕事

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

ガソリンとステロイド 燃えるさまはお見事

Gasoline and steroids, the show’s a blazing spectacle

火遊びはしない ぬるいまね出来ない

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

しけたカルマ トラウマ燃やし尽くすマグマドラマ

Sooty karma, magma drama, burning out trauma

この飽くなき渇き 青い炎みたい

This endless hunger, like blue flames

死は過去のひとつ隣 やがて総てひとつとなり

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

Love is dying

Love is dying

でもまだ消えてないから

But it’s not gone yet

忘れてみたい

I want to forget

情熱の火はいつしか いつの日にか

The fire of passion someday, somehow

身体は気づいている 僕らはいつか消える

Our bodies realize it—we'll vanish someday

ゆるやかに若さを溶かして

Softly melting youth away

泣かないで Why so serious?

Don’t cry, why so serious?

あぁ まだ間に合う

Ah, there's still time

あぁ ただ Burn it up, baby

Ah, just burn it up, baby

Sorry, darling そんなに甘くないよ...

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

でもきっとそんなに悪くないよ

But surely, it’s not that bad

あぁ Give me fire

Ah, give me fire

Light it up, baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

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

...

...

Turn it up, Turn it up 足りない 注ぐ火に油!

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

Sorry, darling, Hurry up あぁ まだ間に合う

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

Sorry, darling, Hurry up あぁ ただ Burn it up

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

Give me fire

Give me fire

Light it up, baby 燃やしちゃうぜ Yeah

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

Party is over

The party is over

それでも踊りたかった

Even so, I still wanted to dance

...
