Kanji: 赤い絲

Spoiler

僕の小指に　絡みついて　解けない君の約束の絲
僕の小指に　絡みついて　離れない君の赤い絲
血の滴る絲を辿って　永久に君と指きりしたね
血の滴る絲を辿って　千の針を飲まないように

絡みつく　君の手の中で　ズタズタの夢を見るのでしょう
突き刺さる　針と知りながら　真っ赤に爛れた切れ端を

千本の針を飲み込む僕は　離れない　離さない君を
赤すぎた君が消えないように　いつまでも　離さない君と赤い絲を
君が望むなら　優しく　切断しよう

僕の代わりに　嘆く　天使と衰弱してる　赤い絲

だらしの無い僕は　顔面蒼白のまま
隣で眠る君に　赤い絲を結んで
身代わりの白い君と　眠れない僕が居た
絡まった君の指　数えながら

絡みつく君の手の中で　薔薇色の夢を見るのでしょう
突き刺さる　針と知りながら　真っ赤に爛れた　血をなぞる
絡みつく君の手の中で　ズタズタの夢を見るのでしょう
君への最後の贈り物は　真っ赤に爛れた　切れ端を

生まれ変わっても　薔薇色の夢を見たい
不揃いの君の破片　恐迫の夢でもいい
取り憑かれた天使の　小指にそう　調度いい
絡まった　君の指　数えながら

English: Red Thread

Spoiler

Twined around my pinky finger, is your promised thread that won't become undone
Twined around my pinky finger, is your red thread that won't separate us
Following the thread trickling with blood, I made a promise with you for eternity
Following the thread trickling with blood, without swallowing a thousand needles[1]

In your intertwined hands, you will see your dream go to pieces
Aware of the piercing needles, the fragments festering to a deep red

I swallowed a thousand needles, but I won't leave you, or let you go
So that you, who are much too red, won't disappear, I will hold onto you and this red thread forever
If you wish so, let's sever this thread gently

A grieving angel, and the weakening red thread take my place

I was careless and my face was pale
I tied a red thread to you as you slept next to me
There was a me who couldn't sleep, and a white substitution of you
While counting your entangled fingers

In your intertwined hands, you will see a rose-colored dream
Aware of the piercing needles, I traced the blood festering to a deep red
In your intertwined hands, you will see your dream go to pieces
As a last gift, I'll give you these fragments festering to a deep red

Even if I were to be reborn, I want to see a rose-colored dream
The uneven pieces of you, even a fearful dream is fine
The pinky finger of a possessed angel is all I need
While counting your entangled fingers

-------------------
Notes:
[1] In Japan, whoever breaks a promise has to swallow a thousand needles, figuratively. It comes from the phrase said when doing pinky swear: "Finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies has to swallow thousand needles."

 

Thanks for looking, enjoy! ^^
