Japanese Lyrics
嗚呼　聞こえるわ　此の雨の音

あの日の夜と同じね　あの鐘の音さえも…

仮面の紳士もママも家庭教師も自信過剰の占い師も

おまえの鍵外せない

言葉のナイフと媚薬と飴と鞭　おまえは段々淫らな声を出す

其の胸尖らせ悦びに震え怖がる事無く　鏡をご覽

我が身は亡霊たやすい事だわ　堕天使一人を弄ぶのは

罪塗り重ねた真っ赤な此の爪で罠張り巡らせ魔性のラビリンス

滅びの美学と痛みに酔いしれて　おまえは段々私の物になる

忘れた事など一度も無かった心と体の此の傷が泣く

葬り去られたあの物語よ　悪夢の続きを今初めましょう

「服従しなさい」

さあひれ伏しなさいおまえは私を思い出しない

其の名も誰より殺意に溢れた気高く美しい

マダム・タランチュラ

HELLO ALICE…, HELLO ALICE…,

I’m just really back tonight

HELLO ALICE…, HELLO ALICE…,

Do you remember me?

一かつて娼婦であった神々

今夜も其の声の命ずるままに

私は決して振り返りはしない

始めから名前など在りはしない

ケモノには本能があり

食欲　性欲　睡眠欲

人間の場合はそれに

支配欲　自己顕示欲などが加わる

しかし美しいものを美しいと感じる感情

それも本能の産物ならば

それはいかなる欲望に困るのか

ケモノにもそれはあるのか

私は断言する

それは死　死の美しさ

美しい花に見とれるケモノなどいない

畜生どもに比べ人の命は長過ぎる

だから神は人に与えたのだ

退屈な時間を　まやかしの快楽を

闇を恐れ　罪を返し

月夜には胸騒ぎ

腑甲斐無く愚かな人間ども

今夜私は貴方ひとりを選ぶ

美しいものを見せてあげるわ

1 ‘Ichi katsute shōfu de atta kamigami

Kon’ya mo sono koe no meizuru mama ni

Watashi wa kesshite furikaeri wa shinai

Hajime kara, namae nado ari wa shinai

Kemono ni wa honnō ga ari

Ningen no ba’ai wa sore ni

Shihaiyoku…jikokenjiyoku nado ga kuwawaru

Shikashi, utsukushii mono o utsukushii to kanjiru kanjō

Soremo honnō no sanbutsu naraba

Sore wa ikanaru yokubō ni komaru no ka

Kemono ni mo sore wa aru no ka?

Watashi wa dangen suru

Sore wa shi…shi no utsukushisa

Utsukushii hana ni mitoreru kemono nado inai

Chikushōdomo ni kurabejin no inochi wa nagasugiru

English Translation (Translated by Madame Tarantula)
Ah…(I) hear (it)…the sound of this rain

(It is) the same as the night of that day, isn’t (it)?…Even the sound of that bell (is the same)…

The masked gentleman, Mama, the private tutor and the overly self-confident fortune teller

Cannot unlock you

(With) violent words, an aphrodisiac, candy and whip…you gradually let out lustful words

(Please) look into the mirror…without fear or shaking with joy and that sensitive heart

My body (is)/I am/Myself is a ghost/departed spirit/soul and trifling a fallen angel is an easy thing (to do)

With these nails, whose painted layers of crimson of sins, (I) will section/surround (my) trap (to form) a devilish labyrinth

Being fuddled with the aesthetics of being ruined and pain…you become mine/my possession little by little

These scars of (my) body and heart, which (I) have never forgotten, cry

That tale which was consigned to oblivion!/That tale consigned to oblivion!…Let (us) begin the continuation of the nightmare now

“Obey (me)”

Now, be subjugated, you (who) bring me back in (your) memory

That name which is also more filled with murderous intents than anyone else’s and is elegantly refined/dignified and beautiful

Hello Alice…Hello Alice…

I’m just really back tonight

Hello Alice…Hello Alice…

Note:

1 ‘As that voice (of hers) commands (even them) this evening as well

The gods met with a once former prostitute

I will never look back

Since the beginning, (I) do not have a name and so forth

Instincts are in a beast

Appetite…sexual desire…the desire for sleep

Besides the case of a human being

(Who also has) the desire for domination…to join in (with those) people who crave the limelight

However, beautiful things feel with beautiful feelings

And if so, in addition to that, the fruit of (those) instincts

Will be extremely troubled by any kind of desire or

Is that also (an issue) to the beast?

I will affirm

It (is) death…the beauty of death

The likes of a beast that is fascinated by beautiful flowers does not exist

The prayers of a competitive person to beasts will be too long

Therefore, a god will have offered the person (an answer instead)

(To kill) hours of boredom…(to feel) the pleasure of deception…

To fear the darkness…to return the sin (back to them)

The cowardly, foolish human beings

(Feel) uneasiness on (this) moonlit night

This evening I will choose you alone

(And) will do (you) the favor of showing (you) beautiful things’
