WEEK END
by X-Japan (Sony KSC2-70)
translation: Mark Neidengard


I hear a knock on the door
Hageshiku semaru
Ushinai kaketa ishiki no naka de
Omae ga sasayaku
Oitsumereta kokoro tokasu
Nibuiro shouzou
Kirikizamareta kioku wo utsushidasu
                                      I hear a knock on the door
                                      Urging violently
                                      In my losing consciousness
                                      You whisper
                                      My cornered heart melts
                                      A dark gray effigy
                                      Starts to imitate the mutilated memories

Sakimidareta hateful black heart
Kokoro ni semaru
Tagisumasareta transient feeling
Hitonami no naka
HISUTERIKKU ni sawameku kaze ni
Tomaranai namida wo
Mune ni dakishime koudoku wo irodoru
                                      The hateful black heart blooming with
                                        confusion
                                      Drawing near to my heart
                                      A crystal-clear, transient feeling
                                      In the middle of the mob,
                                      The hysterically bustling wind,
                                      Hold the unstoppable tears to the breast
                                      And paint the solitude

I've nothing to lose
(Love me till the end)
Except your heart
                                      I've nothing to lose
                                      (Love me till the end)
                                      Except your heart

Tekubi wo nagareru chi wo omae no
  karada ni
Karamitsukeru to isshun no uchi ni
  fukasu ("yomigaeru") kioku ni
  shikai wo
Tozasareta warai nagara nigete
  yuku omae no sugata wo
Mitsumeru kizu tsuita ore ga tatte iru
Week End
Week End Week End
Week End I'm at my wits' end
                                      I encircle your body with the blood
                                        pouring from my wrist
                                      And instantly I'm blinded by reawakening
                                        memory.
                                      I stand, wounded, gazing as you running
                                        and laughing.
                                      Week End
                                      Week End Week End
                                      Week End I'm at my wits' end

I've nothing to lose
(Love me till the end)
Except your heart
                                      I've nothing to lose
                                      (Love me till the end)
                                      Except your heart

I hear a knock on the door
Hageshiku semaru
Ushinai kaketa ishiki no naka de
Omae ga sasayaku
Tsumetai yubisaki nobashi
Kizuguchi ni kuchizuke
Akaku somatta kyouki wo dakishimeru
                                      I hear a knock on the door
                                      Urging violently
                                      On the verge of losing consciousness
                                      You whisper
                                      Extending cold fingertips
                                      Kiss the open wound
                                      And embrace the red-smeared bloodlust

Kagami wo mitsume nagara furueru
  karada ni
Nagarehajimeta sukitouru chi wo
  aojiroi omae no kokoro ni
Karamase genkaku ni kiete yuku
  saigo no namida wo
Hiroiatsumete chi no umi ni madoromu
Week End
                                      While gazing in the mirror, my body
                                        trembling,
                                      I entwine your pale blue heart with clear
                                        flowing blood,
                                      Gather together the last tears vanishing
                                        into the illusion,
                                      And doze off in the ocean of blood
                                      Week End
Week End
I still love you
Week End
But I cannot carry on
                                      Week End
                                      I still love you
                                      Week End
                                      But I cannot carry on

Tekubi wo nagareru chi wo omae no

Karamitsukeru to isshun no uchi ni

Tozasareta warai naka kara nigete
