Lyrics
| Japanese | Romanization | English |
|---|---|---|
| Il giudizio finale sta per essere emesso Nessuno può emendarsi dal peccato che scorre nelle vene | Il giudizio finale sta per essere emesso Nessuno può emendarsi dal peccato che scorre nelle vene | The final judgement shall be delivered Nobody can escape the sin that flows in their veins |
| 海鳴りの調べに 黒雲は空へ集う 嵐を呼ぶ風は 高らかに | Uminari no shirabe ni kurokumo wa sora e tsudou Arashi wo yobu kaze wa takaraka ni | The dark clouds gather to the tune of the rumbling sea The winds of the tempest begin to ring |
| 謎めく言ノ葉に 魔女達は含み笑う 歪な夜の宴は 繰り返す | Nazomeku koto no ha ni majoutachi wa fukumiwarau Ibitsu na yoru no utage wa kurikaesu | The enigmatic words make the witches chuckle While the banquet of this irregular night repeats |
| (Sperare) 奈落へと堕ちた (è peccato?)金色の蝶は幾つの罪に 翅を濡らしてゆくの？ | (Sperare) Naraku e to ochita (è peccato?) Kin-iro no chou waIkutsu no tsumi ni hane wo nurashite yuku no? | (This hope) Falling towards hell, (is it a sin?) these golden butterfliesdipped their wings in how many sins? |
| なかないで 因われた 幻想を壊し一度きりの 終焉をあげよう果たせない約束は 胸の奥 焦げ付いて赤く赤く 爆ぜてくよ ねぇ | Nakanaide Torawareta gensou wo kowashiIchidokiri no shuuen wo ageyouHatasenai yakusoku wa mune no oku kogetsuiteAkaku akaku hazeteku yo, nee | Don't cry, destroy these imprisoned illusionsJust once, rise above your demiseHold on to the unfulfilled promises into your heartAnd burst open the deep, deep red! |
| Tu sei senza peccato? Quanto sarà pesante il mio castigo?Ti accorgi delle voci senza voce?Ti accorgi dei tuoi peccati | Tu sei senza peccato? Quanto sarà pesante il mio castigo?Ti accorgi delle voci senza voce?Ti accorgi dei tuoi peccati? | Are you without sin? How heavy is my punishment?Are you aware of that which has no voice?Are you aware of your own sins? |
| 癒えない疵口は 紅の薔薇のように 憎しみ宿る心に 花開く | Ienai kizuguchi wa kurenai no bara no you ni Nikushimi yadoru kokoro ni hana hiraku | This open wound is like a crimson rose This hatred lodged in my heart begins to bloom |
| (Serbare il segreto) 翼奪われた (è peccato?)片羽の鳥は最期の瞬間に 誰の名前を呼ぶの？ | (Serbare il segreto) Tsubasa ubawareta (è peccato?) Katahane no tori waSaigo no toki ni dare no namae wo yobu no? | (This secret) With its wing snatched away, (is it a sin?) who does this one-winged birdcall out to in its final moment? |
| にげないで 過ちも 真実も 嘘も全て赦す 魔法へと変えよう遅すぎた答えさえ 愛しくて 哀しくて強く強く 抱きしめれば ほら | Nigenaide Ayamachi mo, shinjitsu mo, uso moSubete yurusu mahou e to kaeyouOsosugita kotae sae itoshikute, kanashikuteTsuyoku tsuyoku dakishimereba, hora | Don't run, accept your errors, the truths, the liesAnd let magic change everythingWith love, with sorrow, take this answer that came too lateand tightly, tightly hold on to it. See? |
| ——— 眩い光溢れ 楽園の扉は開かれる | ———Mabayui hikari afure, rakuen no tobira wa akareru | ———The dazzling light begins to flow, the door to paradise is opening |
| 頑なな運命に 奇跡が降り注ぎ 絡み合う世界は 崩れ落ちてゆく | Katakuna na unmei ni kiseki ga furi sosogi Karamiau sekai wa kuzureochite yuku | Miracles pour onto this obstinate fate This entangled world is crumbling |
| いわないで 永遠の呪縛の言葉を きかないで 本当の願いを | Iwanaide, towa no jubaku no kotoba wo Kikanaide, hontou no negai wo | Don't speak the words of the eternal curse Don't listen to your true wishes |
| なかないで 因われた 幻想を壊し一度きりの 終焉をあげよう果たせない約束は 胸の奥 焦げ付いて赤く赤く 爆ぜてくよ ねぇ | Nakanaide Torawareta gensou wo kowashiIchidokiri no shuuen wo ageyouHatasenai yakusoku wa mune no oku kogetsuiteAkaku akaku hazeteku yo, nee | Don't cry, destroy these imprisoned illusionsJust once, rise above your demiseHold on to the unfulfilled promises into your heartAnd burst open the deep, deep red. |
| Impossibile arrivare al vero segreto se non ci si accorge di tutto l’amore | Impossibile arrivare al vero segreto se non ci si accorge di tutto l'amore | It is impossible to get to the real secret if you do not realize all of the love |
