宵闇に 爪弾き
In the evening darkness, I flick my nails
悲しみに雨曝し 花曇り
Exposed to the rain of sadness, the flowers become cloudy
枯れた街 にべもなし
The withered town is empty
侘びしげに鼻垂らし へらへらり
Nose drooping lazily
笑えないこのチンケな泥仕合
This stupid mud fight is not funny
唐紅の髪飾り あらましき恋敵
Tang red hair ornament, love enemy
触りたいベルベットのまなじりに
A mixture of velvet that you want to touch
薄ら寒い笑みに
With a cold smile
あなた(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
You (FuraFuraFura) Flamingo
鮮やかな(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
Vibrant (fluttering) flamingo
踊るまま
As you dance
ふらふら笑ってもう帰らない
I'm not going home with a lighthearted smile
寂しさと嫉妬ばっか残して
Leaving only loneliness and jealousy behind
毎度あり 次はもっと大事にして
It happens every time, I'll take better care of it next time.
御目通り 有難し
Thank you for your understanding
闇雲に舞い上がり 上滑り
Soaring up into the clouds and sliding upwards
虚仮威し 口遊み
false pretense, mouth play
狼狽に軽はずみ 阿呆晒し
Shocked and thoughtless, exposed as an idiot
愛おしいその声だけ聴いていたい
I just want to listen to that lovely voice
半端に稼いだ泡銭 タカリ出す昼鳶
A Hiruto who takes out the bubble money he earned at a half price.
くだらないこのステージで光るのは
What shines on this silly stage is
あなただけでもいい
It's okay if it's just you
それは(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
That's a flamingo
恐ろしや(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
Scary (Fura Furafura) Flamingo
はにかんだ
shy
ふわふわ浮かんでもうさいなら
If it's okay to float fluffy
そりゃないね
That's not true.
もっとちゃんと話そうぜ
Let's talk more properly
畜生め 吐いた唾も飲まないで
Damn it, don't drink the saliva you spit.
氷雨に打たれて鼻垂らし
My nose is dripping from the freezing rain
あたしは右手にねこじゃらし
I have a cat on my right hand
今日日この程度じゃ騙せない
I can't fool you at this level today.
間で彷徨う常しえに
Always wandering between
地獄の閻魔に申し入り
Request to Enma of Hell
あの子を見受けておくんなまし
I'd rather not see that kid.
酔いどれ張り子の物語
The story of drunken papier-mâché
やったれ死ぬまで猿芝居
I'll play monkey until I die
あなた(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
You (FuraFuraFura) Flamingo
鮮やかな(ふらふらふら)フラミンゴ
Vibrant (fluttering) flamingo
踊るまま
As you dance
ふらふら笑ってもう帰らない
I'm not going home with a lighthearted smile
嫉妬ばっか残して
Leave only jealousy behind
毎度あり 次はもっと大事にして
It happens every time, I'll take better care of it next time.
宵闇に 爪弾き 花曇り
In the evening darkness, the nails play, the flowers are cloudy
枯れた街 にべもなし へらへらり
The withered town is empty and empty.
