~The Lair of Madame Tarantula~

Japanese song lyric transliterations/English translations and Visual Kei scans (edited by me).

All transliterations and translations have been done personally by me.
(*PLEASE ASK TO USE ANYTHING I POST ON MY BLOG, I'VE WORKED VERY HARD ON THESE AND DON'T MIND SHARING, IF CREDIT IS GIVEN. THANK YOU!*)

Each song lyric has its own page (instead of the usual "post" format) containing the transliterations and my English translations on the page in a format that makes it easier for me to post and also allows anyone to copy and paste them for their own use. To find a song, simply click the artist's photo in one of the side columns or the artist's name listed in the rows at the top of this site, which will take you to a complete discography listing (if I've had the time to create it, some are not finished yet) and links for any song I've translated and posted on this site. Scan directory links are also listed underneath discographies for each artist by magazine and then release date chronologically once they've been edited by me and posted to this site.

Please credit me if you use any of my translations! Thank you!

Lyrics
———————————————————————————————————————————
冷たく囁く声に導かれ 開かれた無数の扉の向うは
眩い光に包まれた 彩り溢れる世界の果て
限りない時の流れに誘う「楽園」

風は甘い蜜を運び偽りの影躍らせる
深い倒錯に触れた恍惚の果てに溺れてゆく

静かに迫る終焉の時刻は絶望の香に包まれる
The end of dream

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる

現実と夢を弄ぶ
The end of dream

闇に浮かぶ黒い声は密かに告げる崩壊を
精神に描かれた淡い光景はやがて暗い陰に姿を隠す

夜の来ない空は儚く遠ざかり
途切れゆく記憶に光が消えてゆく

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる

光挿す楽園は永遠の時の中で…
翳りゆく楽園は終わらない夢の中で…

冷たく囁く声に導かれ 開かれた無数の扉の向こう1
2光に包まれた 彩り溢れる世界の果て
限りない時の流れに誘う「楽園」

風は甘い蜜を運び偽りの影躍らせる
深い倒錯に触れた恍惚の果てに溺れてゆく

静かに迫る終わり3の時4は絶望の香に包まれる
The end of dream [ザー・エンド・オブ・ドリーム]

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる

現実と夢を弄ぶ
The end of dream [ザー・エンド・オブ・ドリーム]

闇に浮かぶ黒い声は密かに告げる崩壊を
5に描かれた淡い光景はやがて暗い陰に姿を隠す

夜の来ない空は儚く遠ざかり
途切れゆく記憶に光が消えてゆく

咲き乱れる花のように影さえ無く
終わりのない夢の中で永遠に揺れる

光挿す楽園は永遠の時の中で…
翳りゆく楽園は終わらない夢の中で…

Rōmaji Lyrics

Tsumetaku sasayaku koe ni michibikare…hirakareta musū no tobira no mukō1 wa
Mabushii2 hikari ni tsutsumareta…irodori afureru sekai no hate
Kagirinai toki no nagare ni sasō “rakuen”

Kaze wa amai mitsu o hakobi’itsuwari no kage odoraseru
Fukai tōsaku ni fureta kōkotsu no hate ni oborete yuku

Shizuka ni semaru owari3 no toki4 wa zetsubō no kaori ni tsutsumareru
The end of dream [Zā-endo-obu-dorīmu]

Sakimidareru hana no yō ni kage sae naku
Owari no nai yume no naka de towa ni yureru

Genjitsu to yume o moteasobu
The end of dream [Zā-endo-obu-dorīmu]

Yami ni ukabu kuroi koe wa hisoka ni tsugeru hōkai o…
Kokoro5 ni egakareta awai kōkei wa yagate kurai kage ni sugata o kakusu

Yoru no konai sora wa hakanaku tōzakari
Togireyuku kioku ni hikari ga kiete yuku

Sakimidareru hana no yō ni kage sae naku
Owari no nai yume no naka de towa ni yureru

Hikari sasu rakuen wa towa no toki no naka de…

My English Translation
———————————————————————————————————————————
Being led by a cold whispering voice…on the other side1 of countless opened doors is the extremity of the world
Filled with brilliant light…that is exceedingly dazzling and exciting
“Paradise” invites you to the flow of infinite time

The wind carries sweet honey and manipulates false figures
Drowning away to the extreme ecstasies that touched deep perversions

The silently approaching, ending2 time3 is engulfed by the scent of despair
The end of dream

Eternally shimmering in the dream of no ending
Having no shadows like flowers blooming in profusion

Playing with reality and the dream
The end of dream

The black voice floating in the darkness stealthily tells of the collapse/fall…
A faint scene painted in the heart will eventually hide itself in the dark shadows

The nightless sky ephemerally drifts away
And the light is disappearing in the memory disconnecting away

Eternally shimmering in the dream of no ending
Having no shadows like flowers blooming in profusion

A shining paradise in the eternal time…
A waning paradise in the endless dream…
