Masquerade
Armando Trovajoli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
俺たちは本当に幸せなのか
With this lonely game we play
こんなむなしいゲームになんて興じて
Looking for words to say
言葉を探し
Searching but not finding
Understanding anywhere
どこを探しても 理解できない
We're lost in a masquerade
俺たちは仮面舞踏会で彷徨う迷子なのさ
Both afraid to say we're just to far away
俺たちの心が離れて行っているんだって 口にするのも恐ろしいんだ
From being close together from the start
俺たちが親密だった最初のころから
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
俺たちは話し合おうとしていたけど 言葉に詰まってしまう
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
俺たちはこのむなしいゲームから抜け出せなくなった
Thoughts of weeping disappear
泣くことすら諦めてしまったよ
Every time I see your eyes
君の瞳を見るといつだって
No matter how hard I try
どれほど苦しんでも
To understand the reasons
ずっと理由を探し続けているんだ
That we carry on this way
俺たちがこのままずるずると引きずっている理由を
We're lost in a masquerade
俺たちは仮面舞踏会で彷徨う迷子なんだ
The song Masquerade by Armando Trovajoli is a poignant portrayal of two people who feel lost and disconnected from each other. The first verse asks whether they are truly happy playing this “lonely game” and searching for words and understanding that remain elusive. They seem to be adrift, unable to connect on the level they once did. The chorus goes on to express their fear of admitting how far apart they have become, and how helpless they feel to change it. They are lost in a masquerade, pretending everything is fine while they both know it isn’t.
The second verse suggests that they have tried to address their problems but failed. They are caught up in a “lonely game” they cannot escape, unable to communicate effectively and struggling to find the reasons behind their distance. The closing lyrics paint a picture of hopelessness and resignation, powerless to do anything but keep playing their part in this masquerade. The song’s melancholic melody and lyrics capture the sadness and uncertainty of a relationship in trouble, and the sense of being trapped in a situation beyond one’s control.
