Lyrics and translation Akira - Checkmate




Checkmate
Checkmate
Tojita hitomi ni ukabu koukei wa
The patterns that float in your closed eyes
Nani iro?
What color are they?
Osanai boku ga tatazun deru
I imagine myself as a young boy, standing
Subete wo kaketa
Having bet everything,
Fukaina geemu no hajimari sa
At the beginning of a profound game.
Saigo ni warau no wa dare deshou
Who will laugh in the end? I wonder.
Shuuakuna kakehiki sae
Even the most cunning maneuvering
IT′S CHANCE!
IT′S CHANCE!
Kuchisaki de odorasu
Dance on your lips.
MAD GAME Itsudatte
MAD GAME, It′s always
Motto omoshiroi kotae ga aru yo
There′s an answer more interesting.
GIVE UP Nantenai
Don′t GIVE UP.
Zettai zetsumei no ruuru de
By the rules of absolute desperation.
Kumitate rareta yukaina itazura no jikan sa
A time of merry mischief has been constructed.
Waraeru kurai damasa rete ne
I′ve been tricked to the point of laughter.
Waga mama na kodomo dakara
Because I′m a selfish child.
ONE MORE Okashi ga tabetai na
ONE MORE, I want some more candy.
MAD GAME Ama sugiru
MAD GAME, It′s too sweet.
Choko no nakani wa himitsu ga aru yo
There′s a secret in the chocolate.
DOUBT IT Ki wo tsukete
Be careful of DOUBT.
Uso wo tsuku no wa tokui da
Lying is my specialty
Doku ga nurareta shirokuro no ban ni tatsu no wa
In the black-and-white night stained with poison.
Kegareta kimi to boku
You and I are defiled.
CHECKMATE Koukatsu ni
CHECKMATE, Logically
Chotto suriru aru kakehiki shiyou
Let′s play a bit of chess.
LAST CHANCE Saikou no
LAST CHANCE, The best
Motto mori agaru geemu wo
Game that becomes even more exciting.
MAD GAME Itsudatte
MAD GAME, It′s always
Motto omoshiroi kotae ga aru yo
There′s an answer more interesting.
GIVE UP Nantenai
Don′t GIVE UP.
Zettai zetsumei no ruuru de
By the rules of absolute desperation.
