Japanese Lyrics
花の命　それはもう短くて

明日なんて見えない

咲き乱れて　振り向き　さよならと

その瞳が言ってる

その命　削りながら　散り始めた君の前で

どうする事も出来ずに立ち尽くしたあの日

黒い薔薇のドレスは

もう二度と会えない筈の

君の忘れ形見か

悲しみの薔薇装束

錆びた鍵　そして鍵穴

葬儀のあと　何もかも失くした僕は

またこの部屋に来てしまった

あなたの残り香さえも無くて

ただ古びたクロウゼットがそこにあるだけ

こんな時は鏡に向かって話しかけるさ

あの日から　あの日から

女装趣味の気狂いは　ほら　だんだん君に似てきたよ

あれ程も憎み続けたあのマダムと同じドレス

忌まわしい筈なのに今では懐かしい

黒い薔薇のドレスは

僕が着る　鏡の前で

今夜　テイープ・レッドの　紅をさし

あなたと同じ顔に　生まれ変われば

もう二度と逢えないはずのふたり

いつでも逢える

ガラス越し　触れ合えずに

黒い涙　蜘蛛の巣をつたう

…with eyeshadow.

Oh my little girl, you’re not alone.

Oh my little girl, Istill love you.

touch me, kiss me

like a living lover’s do….

Rōma-ji Lyrics
Hana no inochi…sore wa mō mijikakute

Ashita nante mienai

Sakimidarete…furimuki…sayonara to

Sono hitomi ga itteru

Sono inochi…kezurinagara…chirihajimeta kimi no mae de

Dō suru koto mo dekizu ni tachitsukushita ano hi

Kuroi bara no doresu wa

Mō nido to aenai hazu no

Kimi no wasuregatami ka?

Kanashimi no barashōzoku

1

Josōshumi no kigurui wa…hora…dan-dan kimi ni nite kita yo!

Are hodo mo nikumitsuzuketa ano Madamu to onaji doresu?

Imawashii hazu na noni, ima de wa natsukashii

Kuroi bara no doresu wa

Boku ga kiru kagami no mae de

Kon’ya dīpu-reddo no kurenai o sashi

Anata to onaji kao ni umarekawareba

Mō nido to aenai hazu no futari

Itsu demo aeru

Garasu-goshi fureaezu ni

Kuroi namida…kumo no su o tsutau

…With eyeshadow

Oh, my little girl, you’re not alone

Oh, my little girl, I still love you

Touch me, kiss me

Like a living lover’s do…

Note:

1 Sabita kagi…soshite kagiana

Sōgi no ato…nanimokamo nakushita boku wa

Mata kono heya ni kite shimatta

Anata no nokoriga sae mo nakute

Tada furubita kurōzetto ga soko ni aru dake

Konna toki wa kagami ni mukatte hanashikakeru sa

Ano hi kara…ano hi kara

English Translation (Translated by Madame Tarantula)
The life of a flower…that (is) short before long

And (it) cannot see such a thing like tomorrow

(They) are blooming profusely and…saying farewell with…(their) eyes

(When they) turn (their) faces

That day (I) just stood helplessly in front of you

Whose blossoms had started to fall, reducing (your) life

Is (this) black rose dress

The legacy of you

Whom (I) am not supposed to see again?

The rose apparel of sadness

1

Look…the craziness of the feminine dressing habit…is starting to resemble yours little by little!

Isn’t that the same dress as that Madame’s, whom (you) continued hating so much?

Although (it) is supposed to be disgusting, now (it) is fondly remembered

I will wear the black rose dress tonight

In front of the mirror

Putting (on) a deep red rouge

If (I) am reborn with the same face as yours

(I) can see (you) anytime across the piece of glass

Not being able to touch each other

Although (we) two are not supposed to be able to meet again

Black tears…run through a spiderweb

…With eyeshadow

Oh, my little girl, you’re not alone

Oh, my little girl, I still love you

Touch me, kiss me

Like a living lover does…

******************************************************************************************************************************************

Note:

1 A rusted key…and old keyhole

I, who lost everything…after the funeral

Ended up coming to this room again

(I) have nothing better to do than to talk to a mirror at times like this

When there is not even your lingering scent

And the only thing there is is an old closet

From that day…from that day

This entire verse is written here, but is not sung in the song at all.
