Lyrics
———————————————————————————————————————————
如何にも私は雌蜘蛛アラクネ
女神の呪いは私を化け物に
だけど今夜はもう一度だけ
「夢見る少女に戻らせて」
残酷な神々震え上がらせた
この腕前なら落ちてない
剥ぎ取った皮膚を縫って
新しい誰でもない顔を貴方に
あなたに自由を
あなたに未来を
あなたに名前をあげましょう
まるで悪夢のような
美貌を作り上げてみせる
この体中の赤い糸全て
貴方のために使い果たすわ
やがて朝が来る
青ざめた指で
貴方の頬の縫い目なぞる
もう少しそばにいさせて

如何にも私は雌蜘蛛アラクネ
女神の呪いは醜い1化け物へと2
だけど今夜はもう一度だけ
「夢見る少女に戻らせて」
残酷な神々震え上がらせた
腕前3なら落ちてない
剥ぎ取った皮4を縫って
新しい誰でもない顔を貴方に
青ざめた指で
貴方の頬の縫い目をなぞる5
あなたに自由を
あなたに未来を
あなたに名前をあげましょう
まるで悪夢のような
美貌を作り上げてみせる
この体中の赤い糸全て
貴方のために使い果たすわ
やがて朝が来る6
もう少しだけ7そばにいさせて

Rōmaji Lyrics

Ika ni mo watashi wa mesukumo Arakune
Megami no noroi wa minikui1 bakemono e to2

Aozameta yubi de
Anata no hō no nuime o nazoru5
Anata ni jiyū o…
Anata ni mirai o…
Anata ni namae o agemashō
Marude akumu no yō na
Bibō o tsukuriagete miseru
Kono karadajū no akai itosubete
Anata no tame ni tsukaihatasu wa
Yagate asa ga kuru6
Mō sukoshi dake7 soba ni isasete

My English Translation
———————————————————————————————————————————
Indeed, I am the female spider Arachne
The curse of a goddess turned me into an ugly1 monster
But tonight, only one more time
“I will turn back into the little girl that I dream of”
The cruel gods trembled violently
If my skill2 is not failing me
I will sew my torn off skin and
Even so, I am the new who, with no face to you
I trace the stitches on your cheek
With this pale finger3
I will give freedom to you…
I will give a future to you…
Let us give a name to you
Just like a nightmare
I will make up/create a beautiful face for you
The red string of Fate4 and everything else is all throughout this body of mine
I will use it all up for your sake
Soon morning will come5
Let me be near your side only6 a little longer
