☀︎The English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyrics. 【Intro】 (Music Box and Hammond Organ Instrumental) ⸻ 【Verse 1】 午前零時の鐘が鳴る 煤けた広間の奥深く 誰にも呼ばれなくなった影たちが 静かに席へ着く 埃を被った燕尾服 欠けた真珠の首飾り 何十年も前の姿のまま 今夜も顔を揃えた ⸻ 【Verse 2】 片方だけの革靴で 優雅に円を描く紳士 名前を失くした花嫁が 誰かの腕を取る 楽団は一人もいない それでも響く三拍子 天井のシャンデリアだけが 拍手の代わりに揺れている ⸻ 【Pre-Chorus】 誰も歳を取らない 誰も帰る場所を持たない だから踊ろう 鐘が次を告げるまで ⸻ 【Chorus】 踊れ 踊れ 忘れられた者たちよ 今だけは 世界の中心に立て 回れ 回れ 終わらない輪舞曲 誰の記憶にも残らなくても 今夜だけは ⸻ 【Verse 3】 壁の肖像画 伯爵の目が光る ひび割れた額縁を越え ワルツへ加わった 遠い昔に消えたはずの 笑い声が降り注ぐ 誰もその理由を知らない 誰も気にしていない ⸻ 【Bridge】 東の窓が白み始める 蝋燭の背丈が短くなる ひとり またひとり 輪から姿を消していく それでも最後まで 踊り続けた影たちは 小さく頭を下げて 朝へ席を譲る ⸻ 【Final Chorus】 踊れ 踊れ 忘れられた者たちよ その足音が 消えてしまう前に 回れ 回れ 美しい亡霊たちよ 名前も持たず 墓標も持たぬまま 踊れ 踊れ 最後の輪舞曲 ⸻ 【Outro】 (Detuned Hammond Organ, Music Box, Ghost Choir) ☀︎English Lyrics [Intro] (Music Box and Hammond Organ Instrumental) [Verse 1] The midnight bell begins to toll Deep inside the soot-stained hall Shadows no one calls anymore Quietly take their seats once more Dust-covered tails and worn attire A necklace of pearls with pieces missing Still dressed as they were long ago They gather here again tonight [Verse 2] With only one leather shoe A gentleman traces graceful circles A bride who has forgotten her name Takes someone’s arm and joins the dance There is not a single musician Yet the waltz still echoes on Only the chandelier above Sways in place of applause [Pre-Chorus] No one ever grows older No one has a home to return to So let us dance Until the bell announces the next hour [Chorus] Dance, dance O forgotten souls For this moment Stand at the center of the world Turn, turn In this endless roundelay Though no memory will remain of us At least tonight [Verse 3] Portraits hanging on the walls An ancient count steps from his frame Crossing through the cracked old border To join the waltz at last Laughter long since faded away Falls gently from above No one knows the reason why No one seems to care [Bridge] The eastern window starts to brighten The candles slowly burn away One by one The dancers vanish from the circle Yet those shadows who remained Dancing until the very end Bow their heads so quietly And give their seats to dawn [Final Chorus] Dance, dance O forgotten souls Before the sound of your footsteps Fades completely away Turn, turn Beautiful phantoms With neither names Nor gravestones of your own Dance, dance The final roundelay [Outro] (Detuned Hammond Organ, Music Box, Ghost Choir)
