麗しき仮面の招待状


月夜に照らされた青い誘惑に魅せられて
無数の色を集めた仮面舞踏会
湖辺揺れる光と影
グラスにそそがれた気まぐれが今夜の色を無言で示している

重なる白い肌に互いの細い指を絡ませながら踊る
見つめる青い瞳は赤いべールに閉ざされたまま
同化した二人の身体は淫らな妄想と現実の悪意とを抱きながら
彷徨い続ける

羽を舞い踊らせながら灯をともし色を導いてゆく
誰も止めることは出来ない私を

戻ることも出来ない

Beautiful Mask Invitation


Enchanted by the blue allure illuminated by the moonlit night
The masquerade ball gathers numerous colors
Light and shadows sway lakeside
The glass's whims silently indicate the colors of tonight

Dancing while entangled with each other's slender fingers with overlapping white skin
Blue eyes stare at a hidden crimson veil
The couple's assimilated bodies harbor obscene delusions and reality
Continue wandering

Feathers dance while light guides colors forward
No one can stop me

Unable to return

Lyrics by Gackt C. / Composed by Közi

APRÈS MIDI ~あるパリの午後で~


表通りはいつものように
道行く人達を眺めてるだけで優しい風を運んでくる

街の広場で語る恋人達の中で見つけた君が微笑んでた

an après midi a paris
「空の下で二人で並んで歩けたらいいね」とそう呟いてた
遠くで君が誰かに微笑んでる

日が暮れると広場の至る所に灯がともりまるで花が咲いたよう

星の広場のマロニエの並木もガラス越しのドレスもきっと似合うんだろうな

an après midi a paris
空の下で風に乗り近づく運命を感じたら
この場所で明日もまたきっと君に出会える予感がする

APRÈS MIDI ~An Afternoon in Paris~


Main street is as usual
Just looking at people walking around carries a gentle breeze

(I) found you smiling among the talking lovers in town square

An afternoon in Paris
“Won't it be nice for us to walk side by side under the sky?” (I) muttered
You smile at someone in the distance

When the sun goes down, the lit lamps in the plaza look like blooming flowers

The row of horse chestnutsI trees in the star plaza and the dress through the glass surely suit (you)

An afternoon in Paris
Feel (your) destiny approach while riding on the wind under the sky
(I) have a hunch that (I'll) certainly see you again at this place tomorrow

  1. The horse chestnut, or Aesculus hippocastanum, is a species of flowering plant in the maple, soapberry and lychee family Sapindaceae and is a large, deciduous, synoecious (hermaphroditic-flowered) tree
