Japanese

待ち合わせは2時間前で
此処に独り  それが答えでしょ

街ゆく人  流れる雲
僕のことを嘲笑ってた

それは簡単で  とても困難で
認めることで前に進めるのに
信じられなくて  信じたくなくて
君の中できっと僕は道化師なんでしょ

回って  回って  回り疲れて
息が  息が切れたの
そう  これが悲しい僕の末路だ
君に辿り着けないままで

※ 僕を乗せて地球は回る

* 回って  回って  回り疲れて
  息が  息が止まるの
  そう  僕は君が望むピエロだ
  君が思うままに  操ってよ

Romaji

machiawase wa nijikan mae de
koko ni hitori sore ga kotae desho

machi yuku hito nagareru kumo
boku no koto wo azawaratteta

sore wa kantan de totemo konnan de
mitomeru koto de mae ni susumeru no ni
shinjirarenakute shinjitakunakute
kimi no naka de kitto boku wa doukeshi nan desho

mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
iki ga iki ga kireta no
sou kore ga kanashii boku no matsuro da
kimi ni tadoritsukenai mama de

※ boku wo nosete chikyuu wa mawaru

* mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
  iki ga iki ga tomaru no
  sou boku wa kimi ga nozomu PIERROT da
  kimi ga omou mama ni ayatsutte yo

English


We were supposed to meet two hours ago
And I'm still here alone, I know that's the answer, right?

People walking on the street, flowing clouds
They were laughing at me

It's easy and also difficult
By accepting it, I can move forward
But I can not believe it, I don't want to believe it
I know I am a pierrot to you

Turning around and around and got sick of it
Ah, I can't breath, can not breath
Yes, this is my sad ending
Still can not reach you

※ The earth goes around carrying me

* Turning around and around and got sick of it
  Ah, I can't breath, can not breath
  Yes, I'm a pierrot you want
  Just manipulate me as you want
