千年紀末に降る雪は
キリンジ Lyrics

戸惑いに泣く子供らと嘲笑う大人と
Children cry in confusion while adults sneer at them.

恋人はサンタクロース 意外と背は低い
Lovers are like Santa Claus; surprisingly short in stature.

悲しげな善意の使者よ
Messenger of sad goodwill.

あいつの孤独の深さに誰も手を伸ばさない
No one reaches out to the depths of his loneliness.

歩行者天国 そこはソリなんて無理
Pedestrian paradise where sleighs cannot go.

横切ろうとするなんて気は確かかい?
Are you sure you want to try to cross?

「赤いオニがきたよ」と洒落てみるか
Shall we make a joke about the 'Red Demon' having arrived?

遅れてここに来たその訳さえ言わない
Not even saying why he came late.

気弱なその真心は哀れを誘う
His weak sincerity evokes pity.

永久凍土の底に愛がある
Love exists at the bottom of the eternal frozen earth.

玩具と引き替えに何を貰う?
What will you receive in exchange for your toys?

My old friend 慰みに真っ赤な柊の実をひとつどうぞ さあ どうぞ
My old friend, take this one red holly berry as comfort. Go ahead and take it.

砂漠に水を蒔くなんておかしな男さ
What a strange man, sowing water in the desert.

「ごらん 神々を 祭りあげた歌も 貶める言葉も今は尽きた。」
Look, songs that worship gods or words that belittle them have now run their course.

千年紀末の雪に独り語ちた
Soliloquizing in the snow at the end of the millennium.

君が待つのは世界の良い子の手紙
What you are waiting for is a good child's letter from around the world.

君の暖炉の火を守る人はいない
There is no one to protect the fire in your fireplace.

この永久凍土も溶ける日がくる
The day will come when even this eternal frozen earth will thaw.

玩具と引き替えに都市が沈む
The city will sink in exchange for toys.

帝都随一のサウンドシステム 響かせて
Let the best sound system in the capital resonate.

摩天楼は夜に香る化粧瓶
Skyscrapers are perfume bottles that emit fragrance at night.

嗚呼 東京の空を飛ぶ夢をみたよ
Ah, I dreamt of flying in the sky of Tokyo.

知らない街のホテルで静かに食事
Eating quietly at a hotel in an unknown city.

遊ばないかと少女の娼婦が誘う
A young prostitute invites you to play.

冷たい枕の裏に愛がある
There is love behind a cold pillow.

夜風を遠く聞く 歯を磨く
Hearing the night wind from afar, brushing your teeth.

My old friend 慰みに真っ赤な柊の実をひとつどうぞ
My old friend, take this one red holly berry as comfort.

さあ どうぞ
Well, go ahead and take it.
