泡沫－己龍（Japanese-English Lyrics Translation）

‘Bubble’（泡沫）

慾を覘くは無垢なる虚　妖し影ろふ白絹の袖 Snooping on desire is the innocent voidness; the mysterious white silk sleeve is faintly visible 月影の煩悩に成り合わぬ華々は開き For the desire of moonlight, the immature flowers bloom 絡み合ふは胡蝶の舞　刹那の海に遊び Entwining is the dance of butterfly, cavorting in the sea of moment 戯れの冥闇は重なりて　此処まで御出で The darkness of flirting overlaps, and come over here 乱れひらひら　下弦の月　夭夭と揺れる Go wild and flutter, the waning moon swaying beautifully 常若　舐れば花弁綻び　極楽浄土へ誘う宴 If eternal youth is licked, flower petals will blossom; it shall be a feast that invites to the paradise 常宵　開けば浮き立つ鬼灯　艶めく化粧　悦楽の笑み If the long night begins, the bladder cherry will be excited; seductive makeup, delighted smiles 丑三つ時から始まる恋は Love that begins at one in the morning 雷魚の舞にて狂い出す Maddens for the dance of thunder fish 潮の香りだと心得違えば One mistakes it for the fragrance of the tide 魔性の最中 For that he is in the midst of enchantment 宝と蛾眉の誘惑に浮かれ Indulging in the allure of treasure and beauty 老婆の謀に堕ちて Falling into the trap of the old woman 浮世離れした愉悦快楽は The pleasure and joy detached from this world 夢うつつの狭間 Is the interstice of dreams and reality 籬の果ては死穢の朝露　泡沫の夢は万華鏡 At the end of the hedge lies the morning dew of the impurity of death, the ephemeral dream is a kaleidoscope 惑いの蒼は青き追憶　竜胆の唄が滔々と The bewildering blue is a green reminiscence, the song of gentian is swiftly flowing 嗚呼… Ah… 邂逅　其れは誘い理想卿 Encounter, that's a temptation from the ideal one 数多の月日も無の如く　儚く散り果てる Countless days and nights are treated as nothing, they shatter in a moment 体躯　蝕みて精神の交錯は　因果応報　夢幻と戯れる Bodies eroding and minds entwining are what they deserve, frolicking with fantasy 理性の無い　無性の靄　魔性の愛　泡となり　願えど潰えて限り無し Losing their reasons, a sudden haze, enchanting love, turns into bubbles, although he wishes for it, it shall never come true 命、散り逝く其の日まで Until the day his life withers away 籬の果ては死穢の朝露　泡沫の夢は万華鏡 At the end of the hedge lies the morning dew of the impurity of death; the ephemeral dream is a kaleidoscope 惑いの蒼は青き追憶　竜胆の唄が滔々と The bewildering blue is a green reminiscence; the song of gentian is swiftly flowing 愛しき花よ　もう秋霞　夢…現…ただ鱗々と… O, melting flower, autumn haze has come, dream... and reality... are interwoven…
