Lyrics
French
Enfin j'arrive à te détester et toi Tu dis que tu m'aimes c'est trop tard maintenant Les mots doux ou tes larmes ne me disent rien Tu ne pourrais jamais imaginer mes souffrances Je t'aime, je n'ai que toi, belle bêtise j'ai fait! C'était une illusion que jamais autre fille Nous avons promis de nous marier Ne me dis pas que tu ne reviendras jamais Orange, l'amour est orange Oui nous sommes mélangeés dans un jeu d'ange Orange, l'amour est orange C'est dangereux, quand je finirai son jeu?
English
Finally, I was able to bring myself to hate you And you say you love me; well, it's too late now Sweet words and your tears do nothing for me; You couldn't possibly understand what I've been through "I love you" "I have nothing but you" ... what a fool I've been! It was all just an illusion that you could never see anyone else We promised we would be married So don't tell me you're never coming back Orange, love is orange Yes, we're mixed up in a heavenly game Orange, love is orange It's dangerous, when will I finish this game?

Song Production Information
Orange Lounge
Anyone who grinned at the title was probably raised very well. One of their parents was probably a pretty big romanticist too. This song is definitely a song for that wonderfully moustached dandy in a far-off corner of your childhood memories. So, this song follows in the pattern of the ones before, but also feels like it's taking off somewhere else. Even the lyrics are a little scary, even ruinous. The color orange is a color of madness.
Video Production Information
HES
This was going to have a generic video at first, but we felt that the video should at least reflect the song's atmosphere, so we hurriedly put together an all-purpose work using clips from past Orange Lounge videos.
Character Information
None.
