Tragic puppet show

Music: Aci

Japanese Lyrics
毎晩屋根裏部屋で

あなたと一緒に眠る

私の髪を撫でながら

綺麗なドレスをくれた

あなたに歌ってあげる

誰より素敵な子守唄

神様お願い　聞いて

ガラスの瞳の誓い

密かな想いを胸に秘め

窓辺に一羽のカラス

ドレスを突ついて笑う

鏡の自分を見るがいい

「人の形をしてるだけ」

私は哀れな関節人形

あなたがいなければAh

どこにもゆけない操り人形

あなたに抱かれる夢を見た

人形と呼ぶには

出来過ぎているあなたを

独りにさせはしない

目を塞ぐ漆黒の羽根

私は哀れな関節人形

あなたがいなければAh

惨めなヒトガタ操り人形

あなたに抱かれる夢を見た

Ah Ah Ah Ah

(もうここに来ることはない

要らなくなった彼の影

私はカラスではない

人形と呼ぶには

出来過ぎているあなたを

独りにさせはしない)1

目を塞ぐ漆黒の羽根

私は哀れな関節人形

あなたがいなければAh

惨めなヒトガタ操り人形

あなたに抱かれる夢を見た

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah2

Rōma-ji Lyrics
Maiban yaneurabeya de

Anata to issho ni nemuru

Watashi no kami o nadenagara

Kirei na doresu o kureta

Anata ni utatte ageru

Dare yori suteki na komoriuta

Kami-sama, o-negai…kiite

Garasu no hitomi no chikai

Hisoka na omoi o mune ni hime

Madobe ni ichiwa no karasu

Doresu o tsutsuite warau

Kagami no jibun o miru ga ii

“Hito no katachi o shiteru dake”

Watashi wa aware na kansetsuningyō

Anata ga inakereba, ah

Doko ni mo yukenai ayatsuriningyō

Anata ni dakareru yume o mita

(Mō koko ni kuru koto wa nai

Iranakunatta kare no kage

Watashi wa karasu de wa nai

Ningyō to yobu ni wa

Dekisugite iru anata o

Hitori ni sase wa shinai)1

Me o fusagu shikkoku no hane

Watashi wa aware na kansetsuningyō

Anata ga inakereba, ah

Mijime na hitogata’ayatsuriningyō

Anata ni dakareru yume o mita

Ah…ah…ah…ah…ah2

English Translation (Translated by Madame Tarantula)
Every night (I) sleep

With you in an attic room

(You) gave me a beautiful dress

While stroking my hair

(I) will sing for you

A lullaby more lovely than anyone’s

God, listen to…(my) wish

A vow made by (my) glass eyes

Keeping secret thoughts in (my) heart

A single crow at the window

Laughs while pecking at (my) dress

(You’d) better look at yourself in a mirror

“(You) just have a human form”

I (am) a miserable, jointed doll/puppet

A marionette that cannot go anywhere

If you are not with (me)/Without your presence, ah

(I) had a dream of your making love (with me)

(The shadow of the man (you) had not needed

Will not come here anymore

I am not a crow

You are able to do too much

To call (yourself) a doll

(I) will not let (you) be alone)1

Jet black feathers covering (my) eyes

I (am) a miserable, jointed doll/puppet

A sad, human form marionette

If you are not with (me)/Without your presence, ah

(I) had a dream of your making love (with me)

Ah…ah…ah…ah…ah2
