Street of Alice

music: Kalm
lyrics: Dada

 

I don't have a face
Someone's stole it from me
So every day I play the same
And draw one on with make-up

Boku ni wa kao ga nai
dare ka ni nusumareta
mainichi kou shite
keshou de gomakasu

I sit and sigh by the windowside
At that person as she passes by...

I know not her name
But I am in love
She's so wonderful, so beautiful
So unlike the hideous me

Madobe de tameiki
namae sura shiranai ano hito ni

koi o shite iru n da
minikui boku to chigatte
kanojo wa subarashii
nante kirei nan darou

One time our eyes met
And from that day on
I've never been the same
I can't be a good boy

ano hito to me ga atta
sono hi kara boku wa mou
douka shite iru n da
ii ko ja irarenai

[The one always gazing at me
through the window... is you, isn't it?
Do you want me...? Want me to love you?

[itsu mo watashi o mado kara
mitsumete iru no wa anata ne
watashi ga hoshii no?
...ai saretai no?]

Mamma always tells me
Not to let anyone in
But without opening the door
without a sound
She came to me in my room

dare mo heya ni irecha dame to
mama ni iwarete iru no ni
kagi mo akezu oto mo tatezu
kanojo wa koko ni kita

Aren't you a wonder, and oh so lovely!
The first to see me and not run away!

anata wa subarashii
nante kirei nan darou
watashi o mite nigedasanai hito wa hajimete da!

A dream seen in waking
Sweet perfume intoxicating me
And you, holding out a mask...
Ah yes...much kinder than even mommy...

me o ake miru yume
amai kaori ni yoishirete yuku boku ni
kamen o sashidasu anata wa
sou sa mama yori mo yasashii

"This'll be our little secret"
It touched my skin and she laughed
The mask grafted itself to me
And now it won't come off

futari dake no himitsu to
hada ni fure hohoenda
hibiwareta kamen wa
mou kuikonde hagaranai

It pains, it pains! It hurts me oh!
But this is the face
That you chose for me and so
Even if it kills me
Do you think I'd take it off?

itai yo itai yo
demo kore wa anata ga
erande kureta kao dakara
shinde mo hagasu mon ka

[Boy, you're not the only one without a face.]

bouya kao ga nai no wa anata dake ja nai wa





 

僕には顔がない
誰かに盗まれた
毎日こうして
化粧で誤魔化す

窓辺で溜め息
名前すら知らないあの人に

恋をしているんだ
醜い僕と違って
彼女は素晴らしい
なんて綺麗なんだろう

あの人と目が会った
その日から僕はもう
どうかしているんだ
いい子じゃいられない

「いつも私を窓から
見つめているのはあなたね
私が欲しいの?
…愛されたいの?

誰も部屋にいれちゃだめと
ママに言われているのに
鍵も開けず 音も立てず
彼女は此処に来た

貴女は素晴らしい
なんて綺麗なんだろう
僕を見て逃げ出さない人は初めてだ!

目を開け見る夢
甘い香りに酔いしれてゆく僕に
仮面を差し出す貴女は
そうさ ママよりも優しいんだ

二人だけの秘密と
肌に触れ 微笑んだ
ひび割れた仮面は
もう食い込んで剥がれない

痛いよ痛いよ
でもこれは貴女が
選んでくれた顔だから
死んでも剥すもんか

「坊や、顔が無いのはあなただけはないわ。」

On Katamari Damacy you can get a wig but that comes off.

This song reminds me of Dali's picture of the nursemaid without the chest.
