Original Lyrics: Dance of the Frogs Lyrics (Romanized)

Once again, the eggs begin to hatch,
the two of them again in the same pond.
They were born and swam out,
then they died soon after.


Just like most babies
Of most living things in this world,
Their fate is the same, the same.


My skin melts and the flesh crumbles away;
the boundary between me and the outside
has disappeared and been released,
as I swelled high into the sky.


Swelled up larger than the stars,
filling the edges of the universe.
So cramped I couldn’t grow no more,
but still, I take a big breath in.


As I continue to swell so brightly,
the universe begins cracking at the seams.
Snap-snap, it’s been split, steadily breaking
and through the cracks, a face appears from the outside.


There, in the middle of that same pond,
once again, the eggs begin to hatch.
Dying only to be born, being born only to die,
At some point, the two of us became frogs.


You and I made love to each other,
laid our eggs while the tide was low
We turned empty and shriveled up,
blackened and hardened into dust.


We who became the soil,
swelling large and so bright
The two of us in that same pond again,
burst open and swam out.


The universe is snapping-snapping, and splitting;
infinite eggs and ponds.
The two of us, reborn again,
For all of eternity…


Ha!


Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits.
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool.
Roar roar Roar roar shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love.


Hazy, hazy, spinning away, the two of our spirits.
Sonorously, laughing away, spinning inside a whirlpool.
Roar roar Roar roar shouting away, the song of the frogs
Sufferance, jail, prison cell, reluctance; spinning in the whirlpool of love.


La la la…


For all of eternity… For all of eternity…

そしてまた卵がかえる
ふたりはまたおんなじ池で
生まれて泳ぎ出した
それからすぐに死んだ


ほとんどの生き物の
ほとんどの赤ん坊と
おんなじおんなじように


皮が溶けて肉が崩れ
お外とぼくの境
消えて解き放たれて
ぼくは空高く膨らんだ


星よりでっかく膨らんだ
宇宙の端までぱんぱん
窮屈でもう膨らめない
それでもおっきく息吸って


膨らみ続ける朗々と
すると宇宙にヒビはいる
ぱきぱき割れた どんどん割れて
その裂け目から外に顔が出た


そこはおんなじ池のなか
そしてまた卵がかえる
死んで生まれて生まれて死に
あるときふたりカエルになる


ぼくときみは愛し合った
卵を生んで水が引いた
ぼくらはカラカラ干からびた
黒く固くなり粉になり


土になったぼくらは
朗々と大きく膨らむ
ふたりはまたおんなじ池で
はじけて泳ぎ出した


宇宙がぱきぱき割れて
無限の卵と池
ふたりは生まれかえる
永遠に 永遠に・・・


ハ!


朧々 朧々 まわるよ ふたつの魂
朗々 朗々 笑うよ まわる渦のなかで
Roar roar Roar roar 叫ぶよ かえるのうたを
牢篭 牢 牢屋 屋 嫌嫌 愛の渦はまわる


朧々 朧々 まわるよ ふたつの魂
朗々 朗々 笑うよ まわる渦のなかで
Roar roar Roar roar 叫ぶよ かえるのうたを
牢篭 牢 牢屋 屋 嫌嫌 愛の渦はまわる


ラララ・・・


永遠に 永遠に 永遠に 永遠に
