My Dear rose. You are all of me in this world.
In now, the past, and the future. I sing for you.

naraku no soko     chi wo hau koe     yami yori kurai doukoku no A CAPPELLA
kokoro mitasu       ten ni furu koe     bara yori akai jounetsu no ARIA

I never know pleasure to live.
Why was I born such ugly?
(Why?) (You wish?) (Your mind?)

ichido dake aisarete mitai      kono minikui kamen no shita made mo
kono yo ni umaretekite ai wo shirazu ni yami ni tsutsumareta mama de...

You must choose! Come with me!

Nobody can stop me!

I never know pleasure to live.
Why was I born such ugly?
(Why?) (You wish?) (Your mind?)

tomoshibi dake atsuku mune kogasu     ai no owari wasure wa shinai kara
saa yuku ga ii     zutto kimi ga hikari ni tsutsumareru you ni...

If you will forget, but even so I will remember forever and ever.

My Dear rose. You are all of me in this world.
In now, the past, and the future. I sing for you.

kono yo ni umaretekite ai wo shirazu ni yami ni tsutsumareta mama de...


an a cappella lamentation darker than darkness,
and an aria of a passion redder than the rose
(translation)

Translation: iro (2005.06.27)

My dear rose. You are all of me in this world.
In now, the past, and the future. I sing for you.

an abyss      a voice that creeps on the ground       an a cappella lamentation darker than darkness
a heart fulfilled     a voice that falls from the sky     an aria of a passion redder than the rose

I never know pleasure to live.
Why was I born such ugly?
(Why?) (You wish?) (Your mind?)

just once, I want to see how it is to love      even from underneath this ugly mask
to be born into this world without knowing love      engulfed by darkness as it is

You must choose! Come with me!

Nobody can stop me!

I never know pleasure to live.
Why was I born such ugly?
(Why?) (You wish?) (Your mind?)

only lamplight scorches my heated breast      for I cannot forget the end of this love
come now, it's alright to go       it's like you are completely engulfed by light

If you will forget, but even so I will remember forever and ever.

My dear rose. You are all of me in this world.
In now, the past, and the future. I sing for you.

to be born in this world without knowing love      engulfed by darkness as it is...

 

N.B. to give this song context, it's based on the Phantom of the Opera.
The song is obviously sung from the phantom's point of view.
