Lyrics

———————————————————————————————————————————

おじいさんは優しい人形職人
血塗れの手で私の頬撫でる
君をさらに美しくしたいと
今夜もまた誰かの断末魔

なぜ彼女を切り刻むの
悲しむ人たぶんいるわ
人形にも心はある

人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
継ぎ目だらけ醜いでしょ私は化け物

人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
悲しみとか痛みだとか罪の意識とか

首を吊ればいいと思う
早く死ねばいいと思う　

人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
恋なんて夢また夢　私は化け物
人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
明日はお誕生日だけど生まれたくないの

茜雲が沈んでゆく¹

人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
恋なんて夢また夢と²　私は化け物
人に近くなればなるほど思い知る
明日はお誕生日だけど生まれたくないの

O-jii-san wa yasashii ningyōshokunin
Chimamire no te de watashi no hoho naderu
“Kimi o sara ni utsukushiku shitai,” to
Kon’ya mo mata dareka no danmatsuma

Naze kanojo o kirikizamu no?
Kanashimu hito tabun iru wa
Ningyō ni mo kokoro wa aru

Hito ni chikaku nareba naru hodo omoishiru
Tsugimedarake minikui, desho? Watashi wa bakemono

Hito ni chikaku nareba naru hodo omoishiru
Kanashimi toka itami da toka tsumi no ishiki toka

My English Translation

———————————————————————————————————————————

An old man who is a kind/gentle doll craftsman

Caresses my cheek with a bloodstained hand

“I want to make you even more beautiful,” he says

As I hear the death scream of someone again tonight

Why do you chop her up?

There is probably a person who mourns for her

This doll has a heart too

I realize that as close as I become to being a human

I am still full of joints and ugly, aren’t I? I am a monster

I realize that as close as I become to being a human

I have only sadness, pain and a sense of sin inside me, among other things

I think it would be good if I hang myself

I think it would be good if I die quickly

Madder red clouds are descending¹

I realize that as close as I become to being a human

“Such a thing like this love is still a dream, a dream,” I say to myself²…I am a monster

I realize that as close as I become to being a human

Tomorrow is my birthday, but I don’t want to be born
