DIR EN GREY – Uroko lyrics

Translation:
Fish Scales

You say - eyes averted, wrist awakened:
"I'm reborn"

They say that by the time you're mysteriously charmed, you're already intertwined with the cabbage worm

Underneath the cat footed sofa-bed
The hiding sphinx gives a glimpse
Underneath the tattoo
I'm peering in

Gently the claws dig into
The short tail fin as it flails around

I choose my language in order to tame you

The chandelier shines for your sake alone
Touch the completely dried up scales

You say - eyes averted, wrist awakened:
"I'm reborn"

They say that by the time you're mysteriously charmed, you're already intertwined with the cabbage worm

Gently the claws dig into
The short tail fin as it flails around

Trembling, bewitched
Fluttering, writhing...
You're being deprived of your beauty

I choose my language in order to tame you

The chandelier shines for your sake alone
Touch the completely dried up scales

Romaji:
Uroko

Kimi ga iu me o sorashi mewosamasu tekubi ga
`umare kawareru’ to

Fushigina made ni hika reru mama
Aomushi to karamiatte

Nekoashi no sofābeddo shita ni kakureru sufinkusu
Chiratsuka seru irezumi no shita nozoki komu

Yasashiku tsume o tate mijikai ohire bata tsuka sete

Kotobadzukai o erabi tenadzukeru anata shidai de

Shanderia kimi no tame terasu
Hikarabiru uroko ni furete

Kimi ga iu me o sorashi mewosamasu tekubi ga
`umare kawareru’ to

Fushigina made ni hika reru mama
Aomushi to karamiatte

Yasashiku tsume o tate mijikai ohire bata tsuka sete

Yurayura misete
Hirahira mogaku utsukushi-sa ni ubawa rete

Kotobadzukai o erabi tenadzukeru anata shidai de

Shanderia kimi no tame ni terasu
Hikarabiru uroko ni furete

Kanji:
鱗

君が言う 眼を逸らし 目を覚ます手首が
「生まれ変われる」と

不思議なまでに引かれるまま
青虫と絡み合って

猫足のソファーベッド 下に隠れるスフィンクス
チラつかせる 刺青の下 覗き込む

優しく爪を立て 短い尾鰭 バタつかせて

言葉遣いを選び 手懐ける貴方次第で

シャンデリア 君の為照らす
乾涸びる鱗に触れて

君が言う 眼を逸らし 目を覚ます手首が
「生まれ変われる」と

不思議なまでに引かれるまま
青虫と絡み合って

優しく爪を立て 短い尾鰭 バタつかせて

ゆらゆら魅せて
ひらひらもがく美しさに奪われて

言葉遣いを選び 手懐ける貴方次第で

シャンデリア 君の為に照らす
乾涸びる鱗に触れて
