[English]

Give me pity

Like gently touching

A fallen little bird

Give me sadness

Scoop up my tears and look down on me

Say out loud that I'm pitiful

You can even roll me around with the tip of your shoe

Even if I'm dirty it's okay

Take my mud-covered hands

Hey, let's dance in a circle

Let's eat up

All the unsightly rabble

The spice should be unbearably strong

...

The frightened little bird

Couldn't even say goodbye

With gestures begging for love

I kept silent, thinking I was being modest

Lie, Lie, It's A Lie

Not A Lie, I can't take it anymore

After being hurt so much

Everyone wants to go

To a kinder world

Let's melt into one

Hatred and love

Let's munch, munch,

And stuff it all in our cheeks

In the sweet, sweet pot of chaos

...

Because you smile ambiguously

I want to see you

I know you're here

To stay with me

I just want to be loved

Lie, Lie, Lie, You're to be with me

Where the thunder tears apart the sky

A disastrous Heavenly Feeling

Only love needs to remain

...

Only endless sadness piles up

Desires and regrets just fill everything

The distant spring day when we tied our bond

Even the scars,

Will they disappear?

Soon, sparkling in a dream

The light that decays

Is sure to reach you

It's so dazzling, the tears won't stop

Hey, please stay by my side

Take my mud-covered hands

Don't let go

Please, stay by my side forever

Don't let go

Stay by my side as it gets dark

Don't let go

I can't say it

Just stay by my side forever

Don't let go

Just always,

I love you

...

[Japanese]

憐れみをください

落ちた小鳥に

そっと触れるような

悲しみをください

涙汲んで 見下ろして

可哀想だと口に出して

靴の先で転がしても構わないわ

汚れててもいいからと

泥だらけの手を取って

ねぇ 輪になって踊りましょう

目障りな有象無象は全て

食べてしまいましょう

スパイスは耐え難い位がいいわ

怯えた小鳥は

さよならなんて言えなくて

愛を請う仕草で

黙り込んで 慎ましいつもりでいた

Lie, Lie, It's A Lie

Not A Lie もう辛い

散々傷ついて

優しい世界に

誰だって行きたいわ

一つに溶けてしまいましょう

憎しみも愛情も

むしゃむしゃと

頬張ってしまいましょう

混沌の甘い甘い壺の中で

曖昧に笑うから

会いたいと思うのよ

I know you're here

To stay with me

愛されていたいだけ

Lie, Lie, Lie, You're to be with me

雷鳴の裂く所

惨憺たる Heavenly Feeling

愛だけ残ればいい

津々と悲しみだけが降り積もる

願望も悔恨もただ埋め尽くす

絆結んだ遠い春の日を

傷跡さえも

消えてしまうの？

やがてキラキラ夢の中

朽ちてゆく光は

あなたに届くはずだから

眩しくて 涙が止まらない

ねぇ どうかそばにいて

泥だらけの手をとって

離さないで

どうかずっとそばにいて

離さないで

暗くなるのそばにいて

離さないで

言えないわ

ただずっとそばにいて

離さないで

ただずっと

愛してる
