Miuri (身売り)

Sale (Sale of oneself)

Miuri (身売り)

The swaying lanterns are lit
ゆらゆら提灯ともる
yura yura chouchin tomoru
It's the peak of a night sky, a grand appearance
空夜の頂点のおでましだ
sora yoru no choutachi no odemashida
Seducing and confusing, captivating everyone without distinction
色気味振り回いて惑わす誰彼見かたなく
irokemi furimaite madowasu darekare mikatanaku

Caught sight of on the courtesan's journey
おいらん道中目についた
oiran doujuu me ni tsuita
The profile that doesn't even glance my way
私には目もくれぬ横顔が
watashi ni wa memokurenu yokogao ga
Every day I search for that face, but it's already too late
毎日その顔探すほど落とされてしまってはもう遅い
mainichi sono kao sagasu hodo otosarete shimatte wa mou osoi

Hey there, mister
ねえそこの旦那
nee soko no danna
Buy my night
私の一夜を買ってくれよ
watashi no ichiya o katte kureyo
Hey there, mister
ねえそこの旦那
nee soko no danna
I'll show you a fleeting dream
一夜切りの夢を見せてあげる
ichiyagiri no yume o misete ageru

Come, get drunk tonight as well
さあ今宵も酔ってみてらっしゃい
saa koyoi mo yotte miterasshai
The eyes I want to steal are only one
奪いたい目はただひとつだけ
ubaitai me wa tada hitotsu dake
Make me yearn, just for now
焦がれさせて今だけは
kogaresasete ima dake wa
Even if it already belongs to someone else
既に誰かのものだとしても
sude ni dareka no mono da toshite mo
There's no love as cruel as this
こんなにひどい恋はないね
konna ni hidoi koi wa nai ne

Lust for a man I don't even like
好きでもない男に色狂く
suki demo nai otoko ni irogoku
Lend my night to a man I don't even like
好きでもない男に夜を貸す
suki demo nai otoko ni yoru o kasu
This night is never cheap
決して安くないこの夜を
kesshite yasukunai kono yoru o
But for you, I'll give it away for profit
あなたになら儲けであげるのに
anata ni nara moushou de ageru noni
My heart is in the fields, my body is here
心は田の所に体はここに
kokoro wa ta no tokoro ni karada wa koko ni
The one who turned the night into a long night
夜を長い夜に変えたのは
yoru o nagai yoru ni kaeta no wa
Is you
あなた
anata

The ripe swaying heart trembles
ゆらゆら心揺れ熟れ
yura yura kokoro yure jukure
Coming to pick me up, what a splendid dream
迎えに来るなんて夢見事
mukae ni kuru nante yume migoto
Scattered like red petals, like dust
赤げなく散った塵のごとく
akagenaku chitta chiri no gotoku
I end up with a man I don't know
添いつげるは知らぬ男のもと
soaitsugeru wa shiranu otoko no moto

Hey there, mister
ねえそこの旦那
nee soko no danna
Buy my lifetime
私の一生買ってくれよ
watashi no isshou katte kureyo
Hey there, mister
ねえそこの旦那
nee soko no danna
The words I never got to say till the end
最後まで伝えなかった言葉
saigo made tsutaenakatta kotoba

Get drunk, take a look
酔ってらっしゃい見てらっしゃい
yotterasshai miterasshai
At the foolish woman in this world
世にも愚かな女の姿
yo ni mo oroka na onna no sugata
Breathing is good, good, but there's no return
息は良い良い帰りはない
iki wa yoi yoi kaeri wa nai
Just sinking into endless darkness
終わりのない闇に沈むだけ
owari no nai yami ni shizumu dake
There's no love as unfortunate as this
こんなに不幸な恋はないね
konna ni fukou na koi wa nai ne
