The Fifth Pierrot

The Fifth Pierrot

The Fifth Pierrot

At two in the morning, in the darkened streets, who will be tonight's victim?
午前二時 くらやみの街 今宵の犠牲者は誰
Gozen niji kurayami no machi koyoi no giseisha wa dare?
Bad kids get their punishment, that's the clown's job.
悪い子にはお仕置き それがピエロの仕事
Warui ko ni wa o shioki sorega piero no shigoto
What I learned from Santa, the world is full of mistakes.
サンタさんから学んだこと 世界は間違いだらけ
Santa sankara manan da koto sekai wa machigai darake
The fifth clown dances again in the night.
五番目の道化師は今日も闇夜に踊る
Gobanme no doukeshi wa kyou mo yamiyo ni odoru
A painted face, a goofy boy stabs a fat pig with a silver knife.
白塗りの顔 おどけた少年が太った豚に銀のナイフを突き立てる
Shiro nuri no kao odoketa shounen ga futotta buta ni gin no naifu wo tsuki tate ru

Tonight's wild Pierrot, a circus with no audience.
今宵乱れしピエピエロ 客のない夜のサーカス
Koyoi midare shi piepiero kankyaku nonai yoru no saakasu
Play the flute for that moon, then shift from black to red.
あの月のために笛を吹け そして黒から赤へ
Ano tsuki no tameni fue wo fuke soshite kuroka ra aka he
Today, the mad Pierrot dances like crazy, the cage of temptation is now open.
今日も踊り狂いしピエピエロ 魔性の檻はもう開かれた
Kyou mo odori kurui shi piepiero mashou no ori wa mou hiraka reta
The beast that jumped through the fire ring wanders the streets.
火の輪をくぐった猛獣は街を彷徨い歩くよ
Hi no wa wo kugutta moujuu wa machi wo samayoi aruku yo

With gentle, dark eyes, the seventh magician tries to lure me away.
優しくて暗い目をした七番目の手品師が
Yasashi kute kurai me wo shita nanabanme no tejinashi ga
He whispered sweetly, trying to escape from here.
ここから逃げ出そうと甘い誘いをかける
Kokokara nigedaso uto amai sasoi wo kakeru
I told Santa about it,
サンタさんに教えてあげた
Santa sanni oshiete ageta
There was a traitor, you see.
裏切り者がいましたと
Uragiri mono ga imasuto
The next day, the magician vanished without a trace.
次の日に手品師は行方知れずとなった
Tsugi no hi ni tejinashi wa yukueshirezu to natta

Gently stroking the clown's head,
ピエロの頭 やさしく撫でる
Piero no atama yasashiku naderu
Santa's hand, it felt just like...
サンタさんの手 それはまるで
Santa sanno te sorewa marude

Today’s work for the Pierrot, waiting in the alley with the key for his prey.
今日も仕事だピエピエロ 裏路地の鍵 獲物を待った
Kyou mo shigoto da piepiero ura roji no kagi emono wo matta
Suddenly, a loud bang echoes, then it shifts from black to red.
不意に響き渡る破裂音 そして黒から赤へ
Fui ni hibiki wataru haretsuon soshite kuroka ra aka he
My chest hurts, Pierrot, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die.
胸が痛いよ ピエピエロ 死にたくないよ 死にたくないよ
Mune ga itai yo piepiero shini takunai yo shini takunai yo
Standing silently right in front of me.
無言で目の前に立っている
Mugon de menomae ni tatte iru

The eighth sniper.
八番目の狙撃手
Hachibanme no sogekishu

Tonight's wild Pierrot, I closed my eyes, feeling so sleepy.
今宵乱れしピエピエロ とても眠いと目を閉じたんだ
Koyoi midare shi piepiero totemo nemui to me wo toji tanda
In my dreams, I see my real mom and dad smiling.
夢の中で微笑んでいる 本当の父と母
Yume no naka de hohoen deiru hontou no chichi to haha
The Pierrot who won’t dance anymore,
もう踊ることのないピエピエロ
Mou odoru kotononai piepiero
So I said let’s run away,
だから逃げようって言ったのに
dakara nige youtte itta no ni
It was the seventh magician who whispered that and laughed.
そうつぶやいて笑ったのは七番目の手品師だった
Sou tsubuyaite waratta no wa nanabanme no tejinashi datta
