Come now, the sorrowful dead weep solemnly…
See, the joyful dead will crack an upside-down smile.
I can’t share this life if I’m all alone,
But I still haven’t crossed paths with my lifelong love!
Come now, the hateful dead deceive in a fleeting manner…
See, the loving dead will be fooled for all eternity.
Life only happens once and can never be reclaimed.
All beginnings lead to ends, every moment touch-and-go…
A giant gamble with no chance to prepare… live or die…
Life is always such a quivering, uncertain flame—
It’s gonna burn out! It’s gonna fade away!
Who are you? The one I loved…
I can’t seem to remember.
Though I remember so clearly
The way I clung to that sleeve…
Yes, at this point… every detail remains vague, amid the darkness.

さあ悲しみの亡者は湿(しめ)やかに啜り泣き
ご覧喜びの亡者が逆さまにほころぶぞ
人生はいつも一人きり分(わか)ち合へないの
一世一代の恋のお相手も行違つたまゝ
さあ憎しみの亡者が苟且(かりそめ)に摩耶化(まやか)して
ご覧愛(いと)しみの亡者は永久(とこしへ)に騙されるぞ
人生はいつも一度きり取り返せないの
最初が最期どんな刻も行当りばつたり
ぶつつけ本番の大博打、伸(の)るか反(そ)るか
人生はいつも揺らいでゐる不確かな炎
燃え尽きてしまふぞ、消えてしまふぞ
愛した貴方は誰だつけ思ひ出せないの
縋つた袂は確かにこう憶えてゐるのに
さあ何も彼もがいま有耶無耶に闇の中
