I don’t know if it’s just the weather or what but I am feeling Productive so I decided to translate my favorite sukekiyo song! (Though I may actually like 黝いヒステリア better MUSICALLY, well, what would a band with visual roots be without a song at least metaphorically about prostitution OH BOY.) A slight note about 姫; it can mean a prostitute, but here I think the implication is more that she is high-born, princess-like; a pretty little girl.
Sadly, the only copy of the actual video on Youtube (which is wonderful and there is a reason why the Bondage Nun is associated with sukekiyo now and forever) already has subs that differ wildly from my translation below; and I didn’t want it to look like I did it for Petty Reasons.
I don’t see many sukekiyo translations out there though, so I hope the other fans like what I’ve done! (I am still old enough to remember Jrockwank on LJ and when Dir en grey fandom was like the crazy glue binding us all PLEASE DON’T CUT MY FACE UP)
12:20, Never Forgotten For All Eternity
Unexpectedly
You give me your love
As if you wish for me more than ever
To remain this way, never forgetting youA pretty little girl for sale, you can come along with me too
Be quiet
And stitch your memories
On the marks left by your bindingsEven as I walk along the streets
I follow along behind you
Playing my part in your dirty dealingsYou are the cherry blossoms, dripping, rolling in filth, you are the cherry blossoms
Peeking through the gaps of the weeds who grovel on their knees
The only ones who ever know you are beautiful are others
The only one to ever fall in beauty is always me
Sexual desire in mourning
What a coincidence, no?I’m glad to see
My belly, round and sweet
For now more than ever
I want to blot out all those memoriesA pretty little girl for sale, you can come along with me too
Even as I walk along the streets
I follow along behind you
Playing my part in your dirty dealingsTying a red string around my pinky
I give myself to you, even if it is only just my heart
That girl who pretends to cry
Isn’t a cute little ribbon she has onThat may be, but
Do you think you and I could meet again somewhere?
Even as an imitation of that girl when she once was beautiful and pure
The self who pretends as if she cried once
She may be cruel, but I like herThe gossip that dances in my veins
This too is in imitation of you
Who is the one who sells their corpse from the middle of the afternoon?
That would be me.
