Japanese Lyrics
Pink色の口紅　夢見る少女の色

やがて色気づいて　赤い紅を引く

けれど私は違う　誇り高きバンギャル

Made　in　原宿　黒い紅を引く

お友達はひとり　古ボケた鏡よ鏡よ鏡さん

今日も問いかける

「鮮やかに咲くよりも　もう枯れてしまいたい」

この顔に見覚えが

もしかして　前世は

Ah　呪われたヒロインに違いない

それとも　バンギャルにありがちな勘違いかな？

もし生まれ変われたら　この紅を引くがいい

その時に何もかも　思い出すはずだから

Ah　めくるめく　酒と薔薇の日々には

この紅で幕を引いた気がするのよ

Ah　運命の悪戯は面影を　与えてしまわれた

そう告げて砕け散る鏡

Modified Japanese Lyrics
Pink [ピンク]色の口紅　夢見る少女の色

やがて色気づいて　赤い紅を引く

けれど私は違う　誇り高きバンギャル

Made [メード]　in [イン]　原宿　黒い紅を引く

お友達はひとり　古ボケた鏡よ鏡よ鏡さん

今日も問いかける

「鮮やかに咲くよりも　もう枯れてしまいたい」

この顔に見覚えが

もしかして　前世は

Ah [ああ]　呪われたヒロインに違いない

それとも　バンギャルにありがちな勘違いかな？

もし生まれ変われたら　1その時はこの紅を引くがいい

何もかも2　思い出すはずだから

Ah [ああ]　めくるめく　酒と薔薇の日々には

この紅で幕を引いた気がするのよ

Ah [ああ]　運命の悪戯は面影を　与えてしまわれた

そう告げて砕け散る鏡

English Translation (Translated by Madame Tarantula)
The appearance/look of young girls that dream (of)…pink lipstick

Eventually (they) become aware of (another) color…(and instead) put on red lipstick

But I differ (from them)…(I am) a proud band girl

Made…in…Harajuku…(I) will put on black lipstick

(I have) a single friend…(my) ancient/worn-out mirror, mirror, Mr. Mirror/honorable mirror

Today (I) will ask (you) a question again

“(I) want to completely wither away now…rather than bloom vibrantly”

(I) remember/recognize this face, but

Perhaps…(it is from) another time/era!

Ah…for certain (I am) the cursed heroine

Or…is it a common misunderstanding that (I) am a band girl?

If (I) am reborn, then…1that time (I wore) this lipstick is good (for)

2Anything and everything…therefore, (I) am bound to remember (how to use it well)!

Ah…(I) will dazzle/blind (them all)…day after day of alcohol and roses

(I) drew the curtain closed/ended (it all) with this lipstick, (for I) have a feeling

Ah…(it) was a trick of Fate that…(I) was given/bestowed these looks/this face

So informing (me by) the smashed up mirror
