Haruka Shimotsuki – The Princess and the Pierrot
Lyrics: Nao Hiyama (作詞：日山尚)
Composition: Haruka Shimotsuki (作曲：霜月はるか)
Arrangement: Yoshitaka Hirota (編曲：弘田佳孝)

KANJI
白いお城に暮らす　お姫様
世界で一番わがまま
いつも誰かと比べてばかりで
自分が一番大嫌い

私の宝石よりも　あなたのほうがいい
私の読む本よりも　あなたのほうが面白い

笑い方を忘れた　お姫様
周りに誰もいなくなり
うらやむものなくした　お姫様
暗いお城で不満顔

ひとりきりで遊んでも　とてもつまらないわ
うらやんだ宝石さえ　今ではもう光らない

暗いお城に呼ばれた　道化師
遊び相手は　お姫様
誰でも笑わせることが仕事
けれど　悲し気に歌い出す

ワタシはアナタのほうが　ずっとうらやましい
アナタが笑うだけで　ダレもが喜び
そんな顔しないで　ただワタシのために
ワタシを憐れんで　笑わせてください

私の嫌いな私が　うらやましいなんて
あなたはおかしな人ね　お姫様が笑い出す

すると離れていった人たちが
ひとりまたひとり戻って
泣いていた道化師の言うとおり
みんな　とても喜んだ

私にしかできないこともある
初めて知った　お姫様
少しだけ　自分が好きになって
うらやむことはなくなった

TRANSLATION
Let me tell you of a princess who lives in a white castle.
The most selfish princess you’ll ever find in the world.
She’s always comparing herself to someone else,
So much that she hates herself the most.

Your jewels are much better than mine, she says.
Your books are much more interesting than what I read, she says.

A princess who forgot how to laugh.
She starts losing the people around her.
A princess who doesn’t have anyone to envy anymore.
She sits dissatisfied in her dark castle.

Even playing by myself is very boring, she says.
Not even the jewels that I coveted seem to glow anymore.

A pierrot was summoned to the dark castle.
His playmate is the princess.
His job is to make anyone laugh,
but in a melancholy voice, he sings to her:

I am much more jealous of you.
You can make anyone laugh with just your smile.
Please, don’t make that face, but for my sake
Take pity on me and make me laugh.

You say that you’re jealous of me, when even I hate myself?
What a strange man you are, the princess says with a burst of laughter.

With that, the people who had distanced themselves from her
Came back one by one.
Just like the crying pierrot had said,
Everyone was joyous of her smile.

There is something that only I can do,
The princess realized for the first time.
She grew to like herself a little bit,
And was no longer jealous of others.

TRANSLATION
(I shall always be with you, as long as you wish for it.)
(Please don’t forget that this song is a promise that binds me to you.)

Deep within the curtains of the trees
Hides our village.
We attend to the Aria [song] that took root in this land,
And live together with the forest.

Keeping out the rain and dew in the shadows of trees,
And providing warmth with kindling,
We nurture the seed into bearing fruit,
And revolve in the circle of life.

Through thousands of mornings and nights, we have passed on this fragment of emotion.
It is proof that we the people are loved by the Creator Goddess.

Now, let us sing
Of a quiet way of life.
It is the fate that we chosen ones bear,
So that the melody of blood that runs through this body
Can continue to pass on forever, without being cut off.

(Please don’t forget that this song is a promise that binds me to you.)

With their voices in harmony, the two of them entangle their fingers together as they cuddle close.
But only one of them will be chosen as the “singer.”

Now, let us play the song
Of a law that cannot be changed.
It is the fate that the chosen ones bear,
Even if the blade of blood that pierces through this body
Robs me of my future.

TRANSLATION
(Life craved for many things, and goes through an endless cycle of lies.)

A singing voice faintly echoes in the passing wind.
In the lonely pain of my stirring heart, I think of someone.
The thread of fate that entwined us pulls at tomorrow, when we must separate,
And the light of a fake goddess suddenly sparkled.

That childish face that I had once held tight
(If only one reliable thing will satisfy my existence)
Let us play a song together once more, just like the two of us had done on that day.
(I shall play a song of Aria [life].)

I am sure that underneath the crooked sky,
Everyone dreams of the edges of darkness.
The reason why I can straighten out my cramped legs and walk
Is because you were there right beside me.

(Let us see for ourselves)
(Who will sing of the world’s end.)
(What the truth is.)

An Aria [singing voice] inherited the role of a distant past.
Will it be a prayer that gives back to the world, or the prelude for destruction?
The thread of fate that entwined us is choked with knots,
And the light of a fake sun gives a lonely smile.

While they do not have any shape and cannot be held
(As if the wheels gone out of control will trace my existence)
Will you throw away those important “feelings” above all else, and sing?
(I shall sing my last song.)

(Do not be sad.)
(I will be here thinking of you for eternity, and singing of life.)

Gently, I will continue to pray so that the pain
Will dissolve in Seria [tears] and be healed.
Forever in my heart will be the sleeping melody of Aria [life].
I am sure that by embracing the glittering bond
We will arrive at the edges of darkness
And going even beyond that, I will take with me
Your everlasting song…

(What is the truth?)
(Let us see for ourselves.)
(I shall sing of this world’s eternity.)
(This is the truth.)

(It is for someone else that we think, that we cry, that we sing, that we rejoice upon seeing, that we cry upon parting.)
(This is the place where we sing.)

TRANSLATION
A singing voice could be heard from the other side of the vast sky
Playing to the people their forgotten way of life.
As I moved through the gaps of a thick forest, lost in direction,
I met a strange aria (life) among the rustling trees of that place.

If our hearts, as we place our backs against each other,
Feel regret for the path we have chosen to leave,
Then until the day when the words we exchange link our dreams together,
I will continue to sing an aria (song) with you.
A melody that illuminates the light of hope.

A singing voice that echoed even to the ends of the dark sky
Played to the new world a new way of life,
An endless cycling fate of the sacred trees that separated from the rough earth.
The moment you smiled was the last time you sent back your tears.

Among our history that continues to walk on,
I do believe that we will advance on a path that we can share together,
So until the seed you have left behind grows up good and strong
I am sure I will feel lost no more.

I will carry the words of our promise with me as I move on
Towards the future that you have illuminated for me.

Among the constant changes of our tomorrow
May we find a path to the future that we have wished for together.
So until the day when happiness blooms in the world,
I will continue to sing an aria (song).

(And the Aria thought)
(That you are forever meant to sing for the trees)
(That everyone lives as Tindharia)
(That it is the only happiness to be known)

(And the Aria learned)
(That you are not living your life alone)
(That even if you send back that pain)
(And change the law of life)
(Someone else will feel that same pain)

(And the Aria realized)
(That happiness is not something that I can give)

(Let us sing)
(As gentle as the wind, as beautiful as the moon, as eternal as the sun)
(For the things you create and feel are what happiness truly is)

[Note: In this song, “Aria” is used for the written kanji lyrics, but is referred to both as “song” and “life” when sung. I tried to keep faithful to this idea in my translation.]
