DERACINE

Romaji and English translation of the song DERACINE from the album DOGMA by the GazettE.

(Not much translation required – there were only two lines that weren’t already in English.)

Lyrics originally sung in English are in italics , and words or phrases I felt were implied are in [brackets] in the translation.

I also (usually) put repeats of chorus/verses/stanzas in [brackets] if they’re not written that way in the original lyrics for ease of singing along.

If he writes a word in the lyrics but doesn’t sing it, I put it in light grey to make it easier to skip when singing along.

I usually romajize katakana characters in CAPITALS, and keep punctuation and line spacing as close to the original booklet as possible. If you see me putting spaces before punctuation at the end of a sentence or writing things in mixed-case capitals, that’s because it’s how it was in the booklet.

Any comments I had during the romajization/translation process will be included as footnotes so as not to disturb the flow of the song. They’re not required reading, but Ruki does some pretty nifty things with his lyrics/kanji choices, or sometimes there’s further explanations about words or phrases in there.

DERACINE: Romaji

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick
The feelings that I hid
4…3…2…1
That can’t be counted
overpowering grief

In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit

My heart is disturbed by you

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick

Sakedashita mirai kazaru kotoba ga nai
Sono ai kara ima tobitatsu

In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit

My heart is disturbed by you

Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you once again
Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you
Forget up to now with me

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick

I know your ugliness
[No restraint]
My feelings for you never change
[No complaint]
My life is dirty now
[No restraint]
Such a life is sad

[In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit]

[Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you once again
Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you
Forget up to now with me]

DERACINE¹: Translation

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick
The feelings that I hid
4…3…2…1
That can’t be counted
overpowering grief

In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit

My heart is disturbed by you

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick

There are no words that can make our future beautiful [again now that] it’s been torn apart
So now I’ll fly away from that love

In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit

My heart is disturbed by you

Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you once again
Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you
Forget up to now with me

In the womb
Was the fate decided?
I’m going to be sick

I know your ugliness
[No restraint]
My feelings for you never change
[No complaint]
My life is dirty now
[No restraint]
Such a life is sad

[In a maze
[Cradle and grave]
Raw scar
Can’t get back
Lie, Coward, Bullshit]

[Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you once again
Go away
I say good-bye to hateful you
Forget up to now with me]
