永遠の命をもつ世界での話
赤い実の成る木の下 La La Lu La 生まれながらに
死の呪いがかけられた少女の話
色付いた街外れ 蒼く光る湖畔 赤い実のお菓子屋
ちょっぴり寒くなった今日は妙に誇らしげ 自信作を売りにゆく
待ってて 今度こそ 美味しいんだから
時計塔の見える市 驚いた
珍しく賑やかね La La Lu La Lucky！！
物憂げな街の隅 ひとり
赤い実のパイどうですか 自信作なの
そんなのひとつも売れないさ 少女を見て蔑む人達
みんなと何も変わらないのに 美味しくできたのに
今日も声は届かないのね
まるで透明になったみたいだわ
そうして誰もが知らぬ振りをした
何故なら少女は呪われているから
死んだ世界で唯ひとり生きていた少女の話
夜なべでアレンジパイとにっこりスマイル引っ提げ
少女はまだ諦めない
時計塔の針も空を指して お腹も鳴るそんな時
ふと後ろから人が少女を押す 甘い籠は落ちる
お菓子を踏み行く人達 平気な顔してさ
惨めに拾い集める ふともうひとりの手が
どろどろのパイを徐に口に入れて 「おいしいね」
その声で心は溢れた
まるで輪郭を描いたみたいだわ
そうして彼は手を差し出した
何故なら少女に呪われているから
死んだ世界で唯ふたり生きていた遠い物語
街の人達は哀れむ 赤い実を食べて呪われた者を
永遠に生きられずに死ぬのさ 嗚呼なんて可哀想な話
ふたりは笑う それでも笑う
La La La とっても素敵な呪いね
例え明日死んでも 『今』が確かで大切になるから
もう声は届かないのね
まるで透明になったみたいだわ
そうして誰もが知らぬ振りをした
何故なら世界が呪われているから
『永遠』の呪いは解かれていた
まるでふたりの方が狂ったみたいだろう
そうしていつか笑うように眠る
何故ならふたりは放たれているから
死んだ世界で唯ふたりだけが幸せだった
The lyrics to KK's song 林檎売りの泡沫少女, or "The Illusionary Girl Who Sells Apples," tells the story of a cursed girl who was born with the curse of death looming over her. She sells her confidence-pie in the outskirts of a colorful city, where people look down on her and her ruined goods. She is pushed by someone, and her pie falls to the ground. But a man picks it up and eats it, declaring it delicious and extending his hand to the girl. The two of them then laugh together, knowing that even if they die tomorrow, they have found happiness in the present moment.
The lyrics are a metaphor for the human condition and the struggles of life. The cursed girl represents those who feel trapped by their circumstances and the judgments of others. The city represents the world, which can be cruel and unforgiving. The man who eats the pie represents hope and the beauty of life that can be found even in the darkest of places.
Overall, the song offers a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and find joy in the small things, as they are the ones that truly matter.
