Lyrics

ゆらゆら揺られている尾ひれに絡みつく
愚かなヒトの髪と最期の言葉
「不老不死は　嘘だったんだ」
不味い肉で　ごめんなさい
yurayura yurarete iru ohire ni karamitsuku
oroka na hito no kami to saigo no kotoba
“furoufushi wa uso datta nda”
mazui niku de gomennasai

永遠の命など求めたって無駄よ
ぱらりはらり　儚きこそ
人間の運命
eien no inochi nado motometatte muda yo
parari harari hakanaki koso
ningen no sadame

かつてはわたしだって歩いてみたいって
思っては足を求めヒトを食した
叶わないと　心の底で
分かってたの　ごめんなさい
katsute wa watashi datte aruite mitaitte
omotte wa ashi wo motome hito wo shokushita
kanawanai to kokoro no soko de
wakatteta no gomennasai

間違えた間違えた　望んじゃダメなもの
望んだらもう駄目なのはそう
人間と同じ
machigaeta machigaeta nozon ja dame na mono
nozondara mou dame na no wa sou
ningen to onaji

人魚にはなれないし
人間もなれない
相容れない世界がある
ソウイフモノです
永遠の命など求めたって無駄よ
ぱらりはらり　儚きこそ
人間の運命
ningyo ni wa narenaishi
ningen mo narenai
aiirenai sekai ga aru
souiu mono desu
eien no inochi nado motometatte muda yo
parari harari hakanaki koso
ningen no sadame

Translation

Entangled in my swaying tail fin
The hairs of a foolish human and his last words
“Immortality was a lie”
Your meat tastes bad, I’m sorry

There’s no point in seeking eternal life
Sprinkling, fluttering, ephemerality
Is the fate of humans

I used to wish I wanted to walk
So I ate people for legs
Deep down, it would have never happened
I knew it. I’m sorry

I made a mistake. I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have desired this
If you desire it, it’s no good anymore
Just like humans

You can’t be a mermaid
And I can’t be human
There are worlds that are incompatible
That’s the way it is
There’s no point in seeking eternal life
Sprinkling, fluttering, ephemerality
Is the fate of humans
