[日本語]

少女の頃から母に「立派な人になりなさい」と言われてきた。

I must find the way to power through a noble brow

最初は愛のために結婚したが、次は地位のために結婚した。

I must marry for the stature of my husband's name.

Onto marriage number two

I knew what I had to do

and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two.

夫が亡くなり、次の問題はその娘。おとなしく見えるが甘い考えの持ち主。

His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view.

Would I ship her off to school?

働かせようとして召使いにしたが、怠け者で夢見がちな子だった。

and so she became the maid!

She was lazy!

She was crazy!

She was talking to the mice!

She was hopelessly naive , so she had to pay the price.

屋根裏に閉じ込めたのは、自分の慈悲だと信じていた。

I could have thrown her out, but I'm benevolent and kind.

Mother, your heart's too big for you!

「厳しく育てることが愛情」と言い聞かせ、反抗する子を罰した。

After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature!

So you lock them up

Throw away the key!

There's one on every family tree

Ungrateful!

Hateful!

Vile too! The things she put you through!

Break their spirit so they obey!

それを残酷という人もいるが、自分にとっては“厳しい愛”だった。

Maybe you'd call it cruel but

others would call it love

Tough Love!

I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?

Oh, no, they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just...

子どもを望んでいなかったが、若さを保つ魔法の花を手に入れた。

I never wanted children

life was better on my own

all the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone!

But then one day i came across a flower growing free

It's magic kept me young, so i kept it all for me!

But someone dug it up now a baby held the power

花の力を持つ赤ん坊を塔に閉じ込め、自分だけのものにした。

Years went by, OH! The sacrifice!

and against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice.

Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young!

But that's messy!

操作し、罪悪感を植えつけて支配するほうが簡単だと思った。

A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie!

remind them that without you, they'd shrivel up and die!

They only have themselves to blame!

子どもたちを厳しく働かせ、自分のやり方を守らせればよい。

So work them hard 'til they fall in line!

There's one way and it's only mine!

Children are lazy!

怠け者でわがままな子には心を石にして接するしかない。

But we know what to do!

Govern them with a heart of stone!

Lock them up so they're all alone!

Maybe you'd call it cruel but,

それを残酷と思う人もいるだろうが、「厳しい愛」なのだ。

Ugh! Her own tower with a water view

塔から逃げた娘を「恩知らず」と怒る。

These wretched brats think the world owes them something

But it doesn't

国を厳しく治めながら、さらに大きな支配を夢見ていた。

but there was more I had in mind a greater plan!

I never cared to share, so The King would have to fall

王を倒し、自分が最も美しい存在になるつもりだった。

She was chubby. She was dumb

and grotesquely optimistic

現実を見ない娘に秩序を与えようとしたが、恋に落ちてしまった。

I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy

but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!

Love?! Was I just sit by and wait?!

自分の座を奪う前に、手を打たなければならなかった。

she had sealed her fate!

She had to go, and so she did and you know what they say

「一日一個のリンゴで、敵を遠ざける」と決意する。

Don't be fooled by their tender smile!

優しさを見せればつけ込まれる。距離を保つのが安全。

Our idea of a happy home

ひとりで静かに暮らす家こそ理想の家庭。

Dark, Depressing Desolate!

「冷酷」「残忍」と呼ばれても構わない。

Call us "wicked" and call us "mean"

"Cruel" and everything in between.

You could say it's unjust!

夢を壊すことこそ愛の形。

This is what we call love

これが“厳しい愛（タフ・ラブ）”なのだ。

[英語]

Ever since I was a girl my own mother vowed

I must find the way to power through a noble brow

I married once for love then my senses came

I must marry for the stature of my husband's name.

Onto marriage number two

I knew what I had to do

and my poor husband fell ill in a year or two.

Solved problem number one, now to problem number two,

His doe-eyed little girl with gentle point of view.

Would I ship her off to school?

No! I told her if she stayed that she'd have to earn her keep

and so she became the maid!

She was lazy!

She was crazy!

She was talking to the mice!

She was hopelessly naive , so she had to pay the price.

I moved her to the attic out of sight and out of mind.

I could have thrown her out, but I'm benevolent and kind.

Mother, your heart's too big for you!

I knew what I had to do

After all, difficult children will take advantage of your good nature!

So you lock them up

Throw away the key!

There's one on every family tree

Ungrateful!

Hateful!

Vile too! The things she put you through!

Break their spirit so they obey!

Now they'll do anything you say

Maybe you'd call it cruel but

others would call it love

Tough Love!

I ask you, is it a crime to strive for perfection in all things?

Oh, no, they're so cute when they're little but then they grow up and just...

ruin everything!

I never wanted children

life was better on my own

all the screaming, nagging chilled me to the bone!

But then one day i came across a flower growing free

It's magic kept me young, so i kept it all for me!

But someone dug it up now a baby held the power

so I "borrowed" her and locked her up and hid her in a tower!

Years went by, OH! The sacrifice!

and against my better judgment, I fed her once or twice.

Teenagers now I know I wild eat their young!

But that's messy!

Manipulation' s easily more fun!

A little guilt, a lot of force, of course you have to lie!

remind them that without you, they'd shrivel up and die!

They only have themselves to blame!

If you'd been there, you'd do the same!

So work them hard 'til they fall in line!

There's one way and it's only mine!

Children are lazy!

Spoiled too!

But we know what to do!

Govern them with a heart of stone!

Lock them up so they're all alone!

Maybe you'd call it cruel but,

others would call it love, tough love!

Ugh! Her own tower with a water view

and she runs away the first chance she gets!

These wretched brats think the world owes them something

But it doesn't

Far and wide I rule the kingdom with a heavy hand

but there was more I had in mind a greater plan!

I never cared to share, so The King would have to fall

But his child blocked the way to me and "Fairest of them all"

She was chubby. She was dumb

and grotesquely optimistic

She needed structure in her life! She wasn't realistic!

I gave her chores and took away the things that she'd enjoy

but then I caught her singing songs with birds and then a boy!

Love?! Was I just sit by and wait?!

for her to take my crown? NO!

she had sealed her fate!

She had to go, and so she did and you know what they say

"An apple once a day keeps your enemies away"

Don't be fooled by their tender smile!

give an inch and they'll run a mile!

Our idea of a happy home

Is one where we live all alone!

Dark, Depressing Desolate!

Now let's all drink to that!

Call us "wicked" and call us "mean"

"Cruel" and everything in between.

You could say it's unjust!

Turning their dreams to dust!

This is what we call love

Tough Love!
