あなたの腕　熱い吐息
「I love you」 私だけのために
何故でしょう‘愛’故に落ちてゆく奈落
 anata no ude   atsui toiki
 'I love you' watashi dake no tame ni
 naze deshou 'ai' yue ni ochite yuku naraku [1]
    Your welcoming arms, your hot breath,
    'I love you's' uttered just for me
    Why is it, I wonder? Because of Love,
    I'm plummeting into the darkness... [1]

少女の頃見た映画の中では
ひとりの美しい堕天使が
許されぬ愛の泉にふれて
罪を重ね命かけた
 shoujo no goro mita eiga no naka de wa
 hitori no utsukushii datenshi ga 
 yurusarenu ai no izumi ni furete 
 tsumi wo kasane inochi kaketa
    In a movie I watched as a little girl,
    There was a beautiful fallen angel.
    Touching a fountain of forbidden love,
    It wagered its life for sin.

時が流れて大人になった
私はきっと　私のすべてを
あの天使のように。。。
 toki ga nagarete otona ni natta
 watashi wa kitto   watashi no subete wo
 ano tenshi no you ni...
    Time passed and I've grown up,
    I am, surely... I have, entirely
    Just like that angel....

出会えた瞬間-toki-　白い閃光-hikari-
イナズマがココロ切り裂いてく
芽生えた深い記憶　何度も抱き合ったと信じた
何故でしょう‘ 愛’他に何も見えなくて
 deaeta toki  shiroi hikari [2]
 INAZUMA ga KOKORO kirisaiteku
 mebaeta fukai kioku nando mo dakiatta to shinjita
 naze deshou 'ai' hoka ni nani mo mienakute
    That moment we met, a flash of white light, [2]
    A bolt of lightning ripped through my heart,
    Memories that run deep, embracing each other forever
    Why is it, I wonder? Because of Love,
    I can see nothing else...    

信じられる者　裏切られる者
見えない糸で惹き合いながら
許されぬ愛の泉にふれた
罪をそっと償うように
 shinjirareru mono   uragirareru mono
 mienai ito de hikiai nagara
 yurusarenu ai no izumi ni fureta
 tsumi wo sotto tsugunau you ni
    Those who are trustworthy, and those who have been betrayed
    Are drawn together by an invisible thread,
    Having touched the fountain of forbidden love,
    They quietly try to atone for their crime.

生まれ変わってここにいたいと
私はきっと　遠い昔から
望んでここにいる
 umarekawatte koko ni itai to
 watashi wa kitto   tooi mukashi kara
 nozonde koko ni iru
    I've wished to be reborn and to come here
    Ever since long ago,
    And now I am here.

疼き出した白い背中
奪われた羽根　赤い血潮が
芽生えた深い記憶　覗いた窓　映る面影
何故でしょう‘ 愛’まるであの天使のよう
 uzukidashita shiroi senaka
 ubawareta hane   akai chishio ga
 mebaeta fukai kioku   nozoita mado   utsuru omokage
 naze deshou 'ai' marude ano tenshi no you
    Agony sets into my snow-white back
    My wings have been stolen, and a river of blood,
    Memories that run deep, a face shining in the glass
    Why is it, I wonder? This Love
    Is just like that angel's...

思い出した深い記憶
空を舞う羽根失った過去
愛した人はあなた
結ばれぬままここまで来たよ
あなたの胸　熱い吐息
今度こそ私だけのため
もう一度‘愛’故に落ちてゆく奈落
 omoidashita fukai kioku
 sora wo mau hane ushinatta kako
 aishita hito wa anata
 musubarenu mama koko made kita yo
 anata no mune   atsui toiki
 kondo koso watashi dake no tame
 mou ichido 'ai' yue ni ochite yuku naraku
    Memories that run deep, they now come to mind
    A distant past in which I lost wings to dance with in the sky
    The person I loved was you
    I've come this far without anything else!
    Your welcoming arms, your hot breath
    This time, for sure, they'll be just for me
    Once again, because of Love,
    I'm plummeting into the darkness...

TRANSLATOR'S NOTES:
[1] 'Naraku' generally means 'darkness' or 'abyss', but it also hints at 'hell'.
[2] The reading 'hikari' (light) is given the kanji 'senkou' (flash, glint).
