Petenshi Ga Warau Koro Ni

When the Trickster Laughs

Petenshi Ga Warau Koro Ni

I was loved,
愛されていたのは
Aisareteita no wa
But it wasn’t you, it was me.
君じゃなくて僕自身さ
Kimi janakute boku jishinsa
Towards the sound of your voice,
声の聞こえる方へ
Koe no kikoeru hou he
I kneel and pray to the sky.
ひざまずいて空を拝む
Hizamazuite sora wo ogamu

A rusty red hue.
紅い錆びた色
Kurenai sabita iro

The clown who wants to die,
死にたがりのピエロは
Shinitagari no piero wa
With no makeup, looking like a fool.
化粧もせず間抜けずら
Keshou mo sezu manuke zura
Staying up late, but just enough,
夜更かしもほどほどに
Yofukashi mo hodohodo ni
Morning's coming, gotta run away.
朝が来るよ逃げなくちゃ
Asa ga kuru yo nigenakucha
Where to?
どこへ
Doko he

The good deceiver is a good deceiver.
騙され上手は騙され上手
Damasare jouzu wa toko jouzu
Other people's misfortunes taste sweet.
他人の不幸は蜜の味
Tanin no fukou wa mitsu no aji
The shameless lady, completely bare,
あばずれ貴婦人まる裸
Abazure kifujin maru hadaka
The world is full of idiots.
渡る世間はバカばかり
Wataru seken wa baka bakari

When the trickster laughs,
ペテン師が笑う頃に
Petenshi ga warau koro ni
With cheap tales of misfortune, begging for tears.
安い不幸自慢でお涙頂戴
Yasui fukou jiman de onamida choudai
When the trickster laughs,
ペテン師が笑う頃に
Petenshi ga warau koro ni
Screaming lunatics, all of humanity's freaks.
わめく気違い全人類な人外
Wameku kichigai zennin pyua na jin gai
Like flowers blooming in the city,
都会に咲く花のように
Tokai ni saku hana no you ni
If you don’t realize, you’re just a meaningless existence.
なんて気づかなければ無意味な存在
Nante kizukanakereba muimi na sonzai
By the day after tomorrow,
明後日のいまごろには
Asatte no imagoro ni wa
I want to forget that ugly body.
その醜い体を忘れてしまいたいの
Sono minikui karada wo wasureteshimaitai no

I’m not interested in the body on the screen,
ブラウン管越しの肢体に
Buraunkan goshi no shitai ni
It’s not real.
興味ないのリアルじゃない
Kyoumi naino riaru janai
If you’re that scared,
そんなに怖いのなら
Sonna ni kowai no nara
Then just chant a prayer.
念仏でも唱えなさい
Nenbutsu demo tonaenasai
Namu Amida Butsu.
南無阿弥陀仏
Namuamidabutsu !
The bluebird that brings happiness,
幸せを運ぶ青い鳥
Shiawase wo hakobu aoitori
If its wings flutter, it’s just trash.
羽が揺れればただのゴミ
Hane ga mogereba tada no gomi
Fools who get fooled by fools,
騙されるアホに騙されるアホ
Damasareru aho ni damasu aho
If we’re all fools, let’s just laugh.
同じアホなら笑いましょ
Onaji aho nara waraimasho

When the trickster laughs,
ペテン師が笑う頃に
Petenshi ga warau koro ni
Whispering about pride, just a little.
うっすらとプライド語って頂戴
Usupperai puraido katatte choudai
When the trickster laughs,
ペテン師が笑う頃に
Petenshi ga warau koro ni
The patient professor, what a great necktie.
我慢強い教授さますごい首帯
Ganaru jishou kyousosama sugoi shuutai
A typical love song,
ありきたりなラブソング
Arikitari na rabusongu
It’s so boring, I don’t want to hear it.
なんて退屈すぎて聞きたくないわ
Nante taikutsu sugite kikitakunai wa
Instead of searching for the shape of love,
愛のカタチ探すよりも
Ai no katachi sagasu yori mo
You know what you should do first.
先にするべきこと何なのか知ってるでしょ
Saki ni suru beki koto naninano ka shitteru desho

Waking from a dream,
夢から覚めた
Yume kara sameta
The sheep,
羊たちは
Hitsujitachi wa
Can’t even sleep,
眠ることもできず
Nemuru koto mo dekizu
Spinning around, around.
回る回る
Mawaru mawaru
How long, how far,
いつまでどこまで
Itsumade dokomade
If you’re lost, come on over.
迷子ならさあおいで
Maigo nara saa oide
Love more, suck harder,
もっと愛せ 強くしゃぶれ
Motto aise tsuyoku shabure
To the marrow of the bone.
骨のずいまで
Honenozuimade

Like flowers blooming in the city,
都会に咲く花のように
Tokai ni saku hana no you ni
If you don’t realize, you’re just a forgettable existence.
なんてごぶんもすれば忘れる存在
Nante gobun mo sureba wasureru sonzai
By the day after tomorrow,
明後日のいまごろには
Asatte no imagoro ni wa
I want to forget that ugly body.
その醜い体を忘れてしまいたい
Sono minikui karada wo wasureteshimaitai

I send these words to you, with respect.
敬意ある君にこの言葉贈るわ
Keii aru kimi ni kono kotoba okuru wa

Die.
死ね
Shine
