空腹勇者のストーリー
The story of a hungry hero
傷を癒せるそのアイテムはこちら道徳の果実
This item that can heal wounds is the fruit of morality
雁字搦めの毎日
Every day is a twisted cage
「触れた肌も私を嫌うんじゃないか」
"Isn’t even my touched skin starting to dislike me?"
「疑いを覚えた」
"I've begun to feel doubt"
盛り付けられた 彩りに溢れた
Plated up, overflowing with colors
それは華の様な日々だった
Those days were like blooming flowers
こんな世界を未だ憎めないのは何故か
Why can’t I still hate this world?
気づいてるよ わかっては居るけど Ah...
I’m aware, I understand, but Ah...
「生き抜くには傷を付けなければ」なの?
"To survive, do I need to bear scars?"
どうか「道徳」を今
Please, let’s talk about 'morality' now
さぁ、お食べ
Alright, eat up
さぁ お食べ
Alright, eat up
不景気現世の不条理
The absurdity of this bleak world
皆が惑わされる正体は
What everyone is misled by is
実は狼狽の魔術
Actually the magic of confusion
壊されちゃったかい? 誰かに
Have you been broken by someone?
裏切られちゃったかい? 愛に生きるとはなんだ
Have you been betrayed? What does it mean to live for love?
「見返りを覚えた」
'I learned to expect a return'
意味付けられた
It has been labeled
彩りが薄れた
The colors have faded away
どれが正しいのか教えて
Tell me which one is right
こんな世界を未だ憎めないのは何故か
Why can't I bring myself to hate this world?
気づいてるよ わかってるけど
I notice, I understand, but
生き抜くには満ち足りすぎているの
To survive, I'm too content
「愛」と呼べる本物を
The real thing that can be called 'love'
さぁ 探せ
Now, go and search
瞳で触れれた幸せも
The happiness I've touched with my eyes
形を失うでしょう
Will lose its shape, won't it?
避けられない事でしょう
It's something unavoidable, isn't it?
「壊れた。」 それでもまたなにかを信じたいな
I'm broken. Yet, I still want to believe in something.
光と云うには程遠いが
It's far from being called light,
こんな世界でずっと、生きてゆこうと思うんだ
But in this world, I think I'll keep on living.
温かいモノを忘れないこと
To never forget the warmth of things,
すれ違う思い 泣き合えた「青春」も
The feelings that brushed past, the tears we shared in our youth,
そうか 「道徳の果実」を食べて
I see, I'll feast on the 'fruits of morality.'
どうか どうか諦めず
Please, please don't give up.
さぁ 笑え
Come on, smile.
さぁ はじめてみて
Now, let's begin.
