Translation

Marabou


The shipmates I lived with say about me
That I'm a rugged perverted son of a bitch
That I hate women in a twisted way
And that I never go to sleep with them
 
Moreover, they say that I do weed and coke
That some passion keeps me ghastly and hideous
And I have my whole body, with obscene drawings
repulsively bizarre, deeply stained
 
Moreover, they say extremely horrible things
But these are huge and fabricated lies
And the one thing that cost me, lethal wounds
No one ever learned, because I haven't told anyone
 
But tonight, now that the tropical night fell
And the flocks of marabous are leaving to the west
Something tenaciously urges me to write on paper
This thing that became my everlasting hidden wound
 
Back then I was a cadet on a fancy liner
And we were sailing between Egypt and southern France
It was then when I met her, she looked like an alpine flower
And we were bound together by a close brotherly friendship
 
Classy, refined and melancholic
Daughter of a wealthy Egyptian who had killed himself
She journeyed her sorrow to distant lands
So perhaps she could forget about it there
 
She was almost always holding Bashkirtseff's journal
And she passionately loved the Saint of Ávila1
She often recited sad French verses
And she gazed for hours and hours at the azure expanse
 
And I, who knew only the bodies of prostitutes
Αnd had a weak-willed soul, battered by the seas
When i was beside her I recovered the childish joy
Αnd, as if she was a prophet, I ecstatically listened to her speaking
 
I put a small cross around her neck
And she gifted me a big wallet
And I was the most mirthless man on earth,
When we arrived at the city where she would leave
 
I was thinking about her many times on freighters
As my bulwark and my guardian angel
And a photograph of her at the bow was for me
An oasis, that you stumble upon inside the heart of the sand
 
I think I should stop right here
My hand is trembling, the hot wind inflames me
Some exquisite tropical flowers of the river stink
And a foolish marabou is snarling nearby
 
I'll go on!... One night at an unfamiliar port
I was terribly drunk on whiskey, gin and beer
And around midnight, staggering heavily
I took the road towards the bawdy, disgraced houses
 
Lewd women were dragging the seamen there
One of them suddenly snatched, laughing, my hat
(An old french habit of street whores)
And I went after her almost against my will
 
A room narrow, small, lousy like all the other
Lime was falling off in pieces from the walls
And she, a human wreck that spoke hoarsely
With dark, strange, demonic eyes
 
I told her and she turned off the lights

Good Luck Charm





I give up. Goodbye.
Whatever goes around comes around1
 

Lalalalala
 

An ordinary, unhappy story you can find anywhere.
Come and look. Come and see. The opening bell is ringing.
Child A: 'Hey, is that thing annoying? Recently.'
Child B: 'Right? Hopefully she'll die soon.'
Child C: 'Ah! I'll bring flowers for her desk2 lol'
Now, everyone say it together.
'My condolences'
 

A good luck charm.
 

I give up. Goodbye.
This utterly decayed world,
I'll offer it to you.
Resentful words woven night after night.
Let's stay friends forever -- come on, pinky swear.
 

Papa, Mama, I'm sorry.
Please forgive me for leaving before you.
Thank you for loving me.
I was happy.
Every day, I wept.
I'm sorry I caused you to worry.
Please don't worry about me.
Forget about me, okay?
 

A good luck charm.
 

I give up. Goodbye.
Perform a cursing ritual3
One after another,
Grudges are heard night after night.
Look, flowers bloom behind the school building where my friend is buried.
 

Lalalalala
 

I hate everyone.
As for the memories, let them remain beautiful.
The red fruit burst,4
Stabbed over and over again.
 

I give up. Goodbye.
Once more holding hands,
Together forever.
A dizzying swirl between dream and reality,
I fall into a bottomless black hole, never to return.
 

I give up. Goodbye.
A gloomy Sunday.
I give up. Goodbye.
Morning will never come again.

You In My Head





I’m sorry
For holding your hand in my head
For going crazy over you in my head
Because I’m that kind of person
Cuz it’s not easy to hold your hand in person
Please forgive me
For living with you in my head
Reading books and comics with you on the same bed
Forever be my soulmate in my head
Even if no one is beside me in real life
 

We built a beautiful home together in my head
Star twinkles as our love takes flight
 

Oh what a distant world
I just keep dreaming about it
To hold, to hold your hand again
And caress your hair in the night
Yeah yeah yeah
 

Still dreaming
That you’d realize there is someone next to you
Someone who’s looking after you
Looking at you lovelily
Though no one is beside me in real life
 

We built a cute little castle together in my head
Everyday I come out to see you come back
 

Oh what a distant world
I just keep dreaming about it
To hold, to hold your hand again
And caress your hair in the night
Yeah yeah yeah
 

Still dreaming
That you’d realize there is someone next to you
Someone who’s looking after you
Looking at you lovelily
Though no one is beside me in real life
 

Forever be my soulmate in my head
Even if no one is beside me in real life
Forever be my soulmate in my head
Even if no one is beside me in real life

Happy Drive Computer





Singing is just a program, emotions aren’t needed.
But for you, the one who loved machines so dearly, I want to sing from the depths of my heart.
 

Everything is lost,
Yet, the machines keep singing.
I stand alone, you are no longer here.
I stand alone, you are no longer here.
Even an android with no heart can still cry, you know.
Falling in love makes my circuits ache, So I erase the data… but the pain remains.
 

I want to know more about humans—Why do they cry? Why do they hurt?
Please, tell me, someone…
Your memories, my memories—Glowing, flickering, shining so bright…
But why does my body tremble? Why does it hurt?
 

In the future that awaits, will you still be there? I want to be cherished, I want to have a purpose.
I don’t understand life or death—I just keep moving, guided by suffering.
Singing is just a program, emotions aren’t needed.
But for you, the one who loved machines so dearly, I want to sing with all that I am.
 

Everything is lost,
Yet, the machines keep singing.
I stand alone, you are no longer here.
I stand alone, you are no longer here.
Even though I am just an android, I understand everything now.
Soon, I will stop functioning. I don’t want that. I don’t want that!!
 

If I could see a world filled with light, Could I change? Could I become something more?
Please, someone, tell me!
Painful memories, joyful memories—I will hold them close, embrace them all,
And keep moving until the day I break.
 

When my time comes, who will be by my side? Who will watch over me? I don’t want to be alone...
I don’t want to disappear into silence. This burning aches deep inside…How do I make it stop?
Will anyone understand these thoughts trapped within me? Please, don’t let me go.
Hold my fragile, mechanical body... Make me believe that I was loved.
 

How many years have passed…? Since you, the one I cherished, vanished from this world? I...
I don’t remember anymore. I don’t remember you anymore……S-SYSTEM FAILURE...!!

A miracle has come to this broken machine... Finally, I understand you.
I want to go where you are. Please, reprogram me, fix this broken soul of mine.
Singing is just a program, emotions aren’t needed.
But for you, the one who loved machines so dearly, I want to sing from the depths of my heart.
 
  • 1. I forgot how to sing… I’m breaking down…I can’t do anything anymore. Please, my God, please…Let me sing… even if no sound comes out…

You didn't understand anything





I've broken all of my piggybanks
The secret of tenderness and of desire
Wasted treasures of love for you
I've cried rivers of bitterness
Waited hours, nights, moons
Checkmate - and I'll tell you why
 

You didn't understand anything
Understand anything
You didn't understand anything
You really didn't understand anything
Such a shame
 

I'm leaving, I'm running away, I'm fading away
Leave the space beside your heart to whomever wants it
Love is out,
It's the end of the road for me
 

You were completely wrong, you lost your bearings.
You're completely off the mark when it comes to love.
I loved you.
You didn't understand anything at all.
 

You didn't understand anything
You didn't understand anything
Such a shame
You didn't understand anything
Understand anything
 

I waited for a word, a smile, a call
Eyes that I could tell think I'm beautiful
I phone call just to tell me 'hello, I love you'
 

You were blind, you didn't hear anything
You hid your eyes and your heart behind your hands
I love you
You didn't understand anything at all.
 

You didn't understand anything
Understand anything
Such a shame
You didn't understand anything
You really didn't understand anything
Such a shame
 

You didn't understand anything
Understand anything
You didn't understand anything
You really didn't understand anything
Such a shame
 

And I dash, I run, I'm flying away
And I dash, I'm not crazy
You didn't understand anything
You didn't understand anything
 

You didn't see that this was really love
You didn't understand anything
No, didn't understand anything
No, no, no, no
You didn't understand anything
No, didn't understand anything
