BELIAL

Lyrics: Jojo
Music: Kaede
From BELIAL/DIAVOLO

ENGLISH

BELIAL (also Torture Demon -BELIAL)

Translation: Ku

JA ・ CH ・ MA ・ PH ・ TH ・ BU ・ IN1

I saw the end of the world on a night when glittering stars fell

JA ・ CH ・ MA ・ PH ・ TH ・ BU ・ IN

I learned the taste of women in China2 when steel rain fell

The dead glare out from the depths of the toilets　The dead reach out from the depths of the toilets
Bathing in your lovely fresh blood, I indulge with my heroically-swollen genitals and go mad

The ending3 that I asked for affection falls to heaven

JA ・ CH ・ MA ・ PH ・ TH ・ BU ・ IN

Through despair you know prostitution　You know rape　You know slaughter

The dead glare out from the depths of the toilets　The dead reach out from the depths of the toilets
Bathing in your lovely fresh blood, I ferociously jerk my hips and my sack bounces4

I will sing my last song from the gallows for you, my beloved

I remember the number of all the people I killed in the war

I killed little girls　I raped little girls
I killed young women　I raped young women
I killed grown women　I raped grown women
I killed old women　I raped old women5

Let's spit on the peace that the Allies fabricated, and die to go to heaven6

JA ・ CH ・ MA ・ PH ・ TH ・ BU ・ IN


1 This is a list of countries; in Japanese, Jojo uses single-character abbreviations, so I've imitated that in English with two-character country abbreviations. The countries are: Japan, China, Manchukuo, Philippines, Thailand, Burma, and Indonesia. These were the countries represented at the Greater East Asia Conference during WWII. Further reading.

2 The word used for "China" here is a derogatory term post-WWII. It's also possible that this line (and the song in general) is referring to the Rape of Nanking.

3 The "ending" mentioned here is the end of life, or death.

4 "My sack bounces" is a phrase Jojo first used in the lyrics of "Kokkeiron -Souzouhen-," which he has confirmed is a colorful way of referring to sex.

5 The list of women here was also used in the lyrics for "Musou."

6 The "die to (verb)" pattern here is something Jojo has been using a lot in lyrics lately. The Japanese phrasing he uses would normally be used for a verb that has happened and is still in progress. However, he's used a select kanji in here where kanji should not be used, and though the reading is the same, the meaning is to die. It's a bit of a double entendre, and I've tried to reflect that in English.

煌く星が降る夜に世界の結末を見た

日・中・満・比・泰・緬・印

鋼鉄の雨が降る支那で女の味を憶えた

便器の奥底から亡者が睨み付ける　便器の奥底から亡者が手を延ばす
愛苦しい君の鮮血を浴びて雄々しく膨張した性器で貪り狂う

愛情を求め続けた終焉は天獄へ堕ちて逝きます

日・中・満・比・泰・緬・印

絶望で売春を知る　強姦を知る　殺戮を知る

便器の奥底から亡者が睨み付ける　便器の奥底から亡者が手を延ばす
愛苦しい君の鮮血を浴びて獰猛に腰を振り我侭に嚢が揺れる

絞首台で最期の詩を愛惜しい君の為に歌います

戦争で殺した人間の数は全て記憶しています

幼女を殺しました　幼女を犯しました
少女を殺しました　少女を犯しました
婦女を殺しました　婦女を犯しました
老女を殺しました　老女を犯しました

連合軍が捏ち上げた平和に唾を吐いて天獄へ逝きましょう

Translated by Ku

Q1. Please tell us about the concept of the band.
Incubi, heresy, shamelessness.

Q2. What is each member's character, or thing to watch for at a live?
Jojo: The height of shamelessness.
Hikaru: Like having multiple personalities, I create countless expressions, and I'm an incubus of ever-changing music, inviting you to first-rate nightmares with what you see. I don't just play the guitar, but also the theremin, and do the Robot, delivering one-of-a-kind staging. Also, every now and then I do my own artistic makeup like drawing pictures, and express what I'm really good at that can only be seen at those times.
Wajow: I'm a first-rate silly character, but my devastating performance at lives can't be missed.
Andy: I'm a taciturn character, and during lives I blow a silent air with a powerful performance.
Kaede: I'm THE GALLO's leader. With ever-changing music.

Q3. Please leave a message for the readers.
IN THE FARTHEST LAND, FARTHER THAN THE FAR EAST IS "THE FOREIGN BROTHEL -THE BLACK WORLD-" WHICH IS ALWAYS BEING ADDED TO
HERE, WE CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO A FIRST-RATE NIGHTMARE...
IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR... YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO YOUR OWN WORLD...

SUCCUBUS
(Dream Demon -SUCCUBUS-)

Agida meta mega meta unbrida1

Carcasses of dreams flock together in neon lights; let's chant "love" spells at a concession2 in Shinjuku

The world inside when the door to a social spot is opened: the women in heat, turned to demons with cannabis smoke, present their posteriors and smile

I give a demon a bribe and seduce her to "Love me"
You embrace envy in the woman you've touched and go mad with murderous intent　Let's torture them to death

Carcasses of dreams tumble awkwardly; let's chant "love" spells at a concession in Shinjuku

Sending up a prayer to a reverse septagram, dream-eating demons messily devour cunning women

I give the demon a bribe and ask her to "Kill me"
You embrace envy in the woman you've touched and go mad with murderous intent　Let's curse them to die

Let's chant "love" spells

Agida meta mega meta unbrida

---

This was a tough translation and we may revise parts of it.

1 This "magic spell" does not appear to be derived from Western language. As far as we can tell, its origin is Japan, though it's supposed to sound like a spell-casting language (or, perhaps Latin?). This phrase doesn't seem to be something in common use at all, and the only "source" we can find is a Japanese adult-fiction short novel called "Inma Incubus" ... It looks like Jojo's been doing some reading. In the novella, the demon uses these words as part of a spell to bind his victim's voice.

2 In other words, "settlement," of the colonial kind. However, the word Jojo's used here is specific to concessions in China, territories run by foreign governments. Further reading. This word choice doesn't seem to play a significant role in the story of the song, though; either Jojo's referring to red light establishments staffed with foreign Asian women (which is certainly possible given the themes of some of their songs), or he just used the word for shock value.

God of Sleep -HYPNOS-

Dreams turn to bubbles, disappear, and die1　I shall grant you eternal sleep
Dreams turn to bubbles, melt, and dieく　I shall grant you eternal sleep

A gunshot rings out in Turkey on a night when the crescent moon devours the stars　The view is clouded by vapor and painted in bubbles, I dance in ecstasy
Loving your restrained voice, I swirl the tip of my tongue around it2　Happiness changes to hatred

I'll crush love to death, leaving nail marks on your back　I beckon you to heaven
I'll bite love to death, straddling you and rocking my hips　I'll guide you to heaven

Dreams turn to bubbles, disappear, and die　I shall grant you eternal sleep

A gunshot rings out in Turkey on a night when the crescent moon devours the stars　We'll love each other naked even if our words of love are fake
Even if I'm degraded as a stupid broad I'll sell my body and earn some coins　Happiness changes to hatred

I'll crush love to death, leaving nail marks on your back　I beckon you to heaven
I'll bite love to death, straddling you and rocking my hips　I'll guide you to heaven

I'll crush love to death, gazing at the discarded human remains in the bathtub　I beckon you to hell
I'll bite love to death, with a gunshot heralding the worst ending　I beckon you to hell

Dreams turn to bubbles, disappear, and die　I shall grant you eternal sleep
Dreams turn to bubbles, melt, and die　I shall grant you eternal sleep
