ちょっと病弱なセブンティーン
A bit fragile, this seventeen
枯れたインクとペンで絵を描いて
Drawing pictures with withered ink and pen
継いで接いでまたマザーグース
Connecting, intertwining, another Mother Goose
夜は何度も泣いてまた明日
Crying through the night, waiting for tomorrow
回る発条のアンドロイド
A revolving spring-driven android
僕の声と頭はがらんどう
My voice and mind are hollowed out
いつも最低な気分さ
Feeling low, that’s how it always goes
君に愛されたいと願っていたい
Wishing to be loved by you, always longing

Forever absent, this seventeen
曇らないまま今日を空き缶に
Today stays clear, trapped in a tin can
空の雷管とペーパーバッグ
A sky of firecrackers and a paper bag
馬鹿みたいに呼吸を詰め入れた
I drew in my breath like a fool
あいも変わらずにアンドロイド
As always, just an android
君を本当の嘘で騙すんだ
I’ll trick you with the truest lie
僕は幽霊だ 本当さ
I am a ghost, it’s true
君の目には見えないだろうけど
Though you might not see me in your eyes
そんなこんなで歌っては
So, with all of that, I sing
行進する幽霊船だ
A ghost ship marching on
善いも悪いもいよいよ無い
Neither good nor bad anymore, at last
閑静な街を行く
Walking through a quiet town
電光板の言葉になれ
Become the words of the electric signboard
それゆけ幽かな言葉捜せ
Go forth, seek the faint whispers
沿線上の扉壊せ
Break the doors along the railway
見えない僕を信じてくれ
Believe in the invisible me
少年兵は声を紡げ
The boy soldier weaves his voice
そこのけ粒子の出口隠せ
Step aside, hide the exit of the particles
遠い昔のおまじないが
A spell from a distant past
あんまり急に笑うので (あんまり急に笑うので)
You laughed so suddenly (you laughed so suddenly)
ちょっと病弱なセブンティーン
A slightly frail seventeen
今日も映画みたいな夢うつつ
Today too, a dream feels like a movie
愛も絶え絶えの景色だ
It's a scenery where love is barely hanging on.
そこでどんな夢見てもしょうがない
It doesn't matter what dreams you see there.
回る発条のアンドロイド
A winding clockwork android.
汚物ヤンキー 公害 メランコリー
Polluted by garbage, a yankee, and melancholy.
知ってほしいんだ全部
I want you to know it all.
そう君の手を引き連れて戻すのさ
So I'll take your hand and lead us back.
そんなこんなで歌っては
With all that, I sing away.
目を剥く幽霊船だ
A ghost ship with eyes wide open.
前も後ろもいよいよ無い
There's no front or back anymore.
なら全部忘れて
Then let's just forget it all.
ワアワアワアワア
Wah wah wah wah wah
太陽系の奥へ進め
Advance deep into the solar system
飛び込め一二の三で跨がれ
Jump in, one, two, three, straddle it
沿線上の扉壊せ
Break the doors along the tracks
まんまの言葉信じてくれ
Believe in the words just as they are
扁桃体の奥を使え
Use the depths of your amygdala
ほれ見ろそんなにせぐりあげて
Look at that, you're pushing up so hard
遠い昔のおまじないが
An ancient spell from a long time ago
たちまちのうちにはびこれば (たちまちのうちにはびこれば)
If it spreads instantly (if it spreads instantly)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

1, 2, 3, 4
三千年の恨み放て
Release the grudges of three thousand years!
飛べ飛べ皆で拡声器持て
Fly, fly, everyone, hold a megaphone!
沿線上の扉壊せ
Break down the doors along the railway line.
本当のことさ信じてくれ
It's the truth, so please believe me
幽霊船は怒り散らせ
The ghost ship is unleashing its fury
みてろよ今度は修羅に堕ちて
Just watch, this time I'll fall into chaos
遠い昔のおまじないが
An old spell from a distant past
あんまりな嘘と知るのさ (あんまりな嘘と知るのさ)
I realize it's just a terrible lie (I realize it's just a terrible lie)
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
