Текст и перевод песни Yoko Takahashi - Metamorphose

Metamorphose

「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に
あかくあかいその翅(はね)ですべてを飾って

汚されるほど愛しく思える
この地球で息をしてる者よ
憎んでいるほど抱きしめたくなる
鏡の前 別の自分 ジッと見つめてる

そして人は弱さ隠すために
やさしい誰かを傷つけた

「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に
あかくあかいその翅でひらりと舞い躍る
どうか熱いキスをそうよ何度でも
暴れ出した心に気づいたならもう一度
変われる...

守りたいけど壊したくなるの
はかなすぎて悲しくなったから
言葉はなくても小さな姿は
そのカラダに生きるための強さ秘めている

もしもすべて消えて闇が来ても
あなたの匂いを憶えてる

柔らかな光の美しい世界に
あつくあついこの胸に孤独を埋(うず)めてよ
終わりを繰り返しまた出逢えるなら
愚かなその欲望だけで私を掴まえて

おねがい...

「サヨナラ」とささやく醜き世界に
あかくあかいその翅でひらりと舞い躍る
「サヨナラ」と手をふる美しい世界に
とめどなく溢れ流れる涙のその理由(わけ)を
おしえて...

Metamorphosis

In this ugly world that whispers “Goodbye”
I adorn everything with those crimson wings

The more defiled, the more precious it seems
A being that lives on this Earth
The more I hate it, the more I want to embrace it
I stare at myself in the mirror, at another me

And so, to conceal my weakness
I hurt someone who was gentle

In this ugly world that whispers “Goodbye”
I dance about, fluttering with those crimson wings
Please give me a passionate kiss, yes, as many times as you like
Should you notice the turmoil in my heart, then once more
I can change...

I want to protect it but also destroy it
Because it's too fragile and makes me sad
Even without words, your tiny form
Holds within its body the strength to live

Even if everything were to vanish and darkness come
I would remember your scent

In a beautiful world of gentle light
Bury your loneliness in my warm, ardent heart
If, by repeating the end, we could meet again
Seize me with that foolish desire alone

Please...

In this ugly world that whispers “Goodbye”
I dance about, fluttering with those crimson wings
In a beautiful world that waves “Goodbye”
Tell me the reason for these ceaseless, overflowing tears
Teach me...
