Hoshikuzu

Lyrics: Jojo 　Music: Kaede
From Tokyo Harenchi Dai Circus -shinsekai-

English Romaji Japanese

Translation: Ku

Stardust

I'm alone in a place where it rains down stardust　This cruel reality is like a horrible nightmare

My sadness swallows everything and stains it black

Hey, Mama?　Let me hear it　Let me hear it　Let me hear it
Please let me hear your voice just once more
Hey, Mama?　Tell me　Tell me　Tell me
Why do you sleep alone?　Please open your eyes

"Can you hear me, oh awful one...?"

With a sore voice I sing out my dreams

Hey, Mama?　Let me hear it　Let me hear it　Let me hear it
Please let me hear your voice just once more
Hey, Mama?　Tell me　Tell me　Tell me
Why do you sleep alone?　Please open your eyes

"Let's meet again on the night the stars fall..."

---

This song is about the death of Jojo's mother. She passed away several years ago.

Hoshikuzu

Hoshikuzu no ame ga furisosogu basho de boku wa hitori
Zankoku na genjitsu wa totemo osoroshii akumu no you desu

Kanashimi ga subete wo nomikomi kuroku someru

星屑

星屑の雨が降り注ぐ場所で僕は独り　残酷な現実はとても恐ろしい悪夢の様です

哀しみが全てを呑み込み黒く染める

ねぇ？ママ？　聞かせてよ　聞かせてよ　聞かせてよ
もう一度だけ声を聞かせてください
ねぇ？ママ？　教えてよ　教えてよ　教えてよ
どうして独りで眠るの　目を開けてください

『最悪なる人よ…聞こえますか…』

爛れた声で僕は夢を歌う

ねぇ？ママ？　聞かせてよ　聞かせてよ　聞かせてよ
もう一度だけ声を聞かせてください
ねぇ？ママ？　教えてよ　教えてよ　教えてよ
どうして独りで眠るの　目を開けてください

『星が降る夜にまた逢いましょう…』

黒テントは未だ嘗て見た事もない様な夢の世界
愛撫し合う男達と　無数にぶら下がる首つり死体
ピンク色の壁一面に　数えきれない程の黒い蛇口
パパが私の体に触れる度に誉めてくれる　他の娘より発育の良い私の事
パパにとって只の「作品」でしかない私　「是は悪夢・・」
CUZ I LUV U 抱きしめて私を・・・
幕が上がり　野次と罵声浴びて濡れる私は夢心地
醜い夜に飾られた星の舞台で踊るの　鳴り止まない拍手喝采を頂戴
　「愛してる」だなんて曖昧な言葉は禁句　「夢を見せて・・・」
CUZ I LUV U 抱きしめて私を・・・
パパは態と私の嫌なあの日を選ぶの　返り血を浴びて微笑む姿が愛惜しくて
パパにとって只の「作品」でしかない私　「是は悪夢・・」
醜い夜に飾られた星の舞台で踊るの　鳴り止まない拍手喝采を頂戴
　「愛してる」だなんて曖昧な言葉は禁句　「夢を見せて・・・」
CUZ I LUV U 抱きしめてください・・・　生意気な私を・・・

The Animal Trainer

The black tent holds a dream world the likes of which you've never seen
Men making out　and countless bodies dangling by the neck
On a pink wall　there are more black spigots than you can count
Papa praises me every time he touches my body　That I'm more developed than his other daughters
I'm nothing but a "creation" to Papa　"This is a nightmare..."
CUZ I LUV U Hold me...
The curtain rises　and I'm entranced, showered with jeering and abuse
I dance on a stage of stars decorated with an ugly night　A thunderous, ringing applause, pretty please
　The ambiguous words "I love you" are taboo　"Let me dream..."
CUZ I LUV U Hold me...
Papa chooses those unpleasant days of mine on purpose　My precious, smiling face bathed by spurts of blood
I'm nothing but a "creation" to Papa　"This is a nightmare..."
I dance on a stage of stars decorated with an ugly night　A thunderous, ringing applause, pretty please
　The ambiguous words "I love you" are taboo　"Let me dream..."
CUZ I LUV U Please hold me...　Conceited me...

ALICE IN DEAD END

Damnit　Damnit　Damnit　Damnit

The Tokyo sky shows signs of cold, dark rain　A sorrowful rain will probably fall again today
The Tokyo sky shows signs of singing, ugly dreams　Candy will probably fall tomorrow1

I peer into a public restroom　A swinging, swaying chandelier
There's a small, bizarre showroom　A clock ticks backwards somewhere
I'd only peeked through the door　I meant no harm
The black roosters that can't fly see me and roll around in laughter

Damnit　Damnit　Damnit　Damnit

The Tokyo sky shows signs of cold, dark rain　A sorrowful rain will probably fall again today
The Tokyo sky shows signs of sweet, fleeting love　Frogs will probably fall tomorrow2

I peer into a public restroom　A swinging, swaying chandelier
There's a small, bizarre showroom　A clock ticks backwards somewhere
He's an extreme masochist,　the Mad Hatter
He stares at torture devices and begins solving obscure riddles

I remember　that rainy night　I remember　I was killed in the sound of the rain
I cried within the coffin　Liar...

The Tokyo rain heartlessly left me behind
I was buried beneath the night sky after being dragged around
I pretended to cover my ears　I hear everything in the lies
The sound of the second hand echoes　I can't even hear a love song

---

1 This is written the same way as the previous line, and is also a pun -- the words for "rain" and "candy" are spelled the same way in Japanese.

2 This is almost certainly a reference to (vocalist) Jojo's love for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; in Part 6: Stone Ocean, one character has an ability which, at one point, makes it rain frogs. Further reading.

東京の空は黒く冷たい雨模様　今日も哀しい雨が降るでしょう
東京の夜は謳う醜い夢模様　明日は飴が降るでしょう

公衆便所を覗き込む　ゆらゆら揺れるシャンデリア
其処は奇妙な見世物小屋　何処か時計は逆に廻る
扉から覗いてただけ　別に悪気は無かったの
飛べない黒い雄鶏達が私を見て嗤い転げる

畜生　畜生　畜生　畜生

東京の空は黒く冷たい雨模様　今日も哀しい雨が降るでしょう
東京の夜は甘く儚い恋模様　明日は蛙が降るでしょう

公衆便所を覗き込む　ゆらゆら揺れるシャンデリア
其処は奇妙な見世物小屋　何処か時計は逆に廻る
彼は極度のマゾヒスト　キチガイ帽子屋さんなの
拷問器具を眺め難解な謎々を解き始める

憶えてる　あの雨の夜　憶えてる　雨音に殺される
棺桶の中で泣いたの　嘘吐き…

東京の雨は無情で私を置去りにしたの
引き摺り廻された後に夜空の下で埋められたの
耳を塞ぐ振りをしたの　全て嘘に聞こえちゃうよ
秒針の音が響くの　愛の歌さえ聞こえないよ

ALICE IN WORLD'S END1

Can you hear it? My song　Is it reaching you? My voice　to you

The whip flexes, worms in my back　The spattering heat of wax
Blood stains the marks from the binding rope　A dampened chastity belt
I try elegantly licking your shoe　I beg for mercy on all fours
Discharged filth on the floor　A perfect product of torture

The queen of hearts' preference　Screams resonate beautifully from the guillotine
Gazing at the outside from a warped Ferris wheel　the moon is being devoured in the starry sky

Can you hear it? My song　Is it reaching you? My voice　to you

The creaking bed is an amusement park　I play all alone
A merry-go-round of wooden horses2　I sing a love song from the gallows

Can you hear it? My song　Is it reaching you? My voice　to you

Hey...
Why does the sky weep? Why does the sea weep?
Why do the tears flow? Why am I sad?
Hey...
Why do the tears fall? Why does it hurt?
Hey...
Why? Why? Why?
Hey... tell me...

Stop time3

 

The sound of the second hand of the clock in my belly　Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly

In the belly of a rabbit in heat　Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly

Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly　Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly

Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly　Tick-tock tick-tock in my belly

1 Jojo being a big Vivienne Westwood fan, this song title pays homage to the shop in London. The clock references are inspired by the large clock on the building -- which the typeface from the album is based onas well.

2 This is what he means by wooden horses.

3 Jojo is a huge "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" fan. This phrasing is the same that iconic antagonist Dio uses to freeze time with his stand, The World.

鞭が撓り背中には蚯蚓　飛び散る蝋の熱
縄の締め痕に血が滲む　湿り気で蒸れる貞操帯
上品に靴を舐めてみる　四つん這いの侭で慈悲を乞う
床には垂れ流しの汚物　完壁な調教の賜物

ハートの女王様が御気に召す　断頭台からの悲鳴は美しく響き
歪な観覧車から外を眺めると　星空に月が喰われてる

三角木馬のメリーゴーラウンド　首吊り台から愛を歌うの
