My shayla! I feel like this song is a bit underrated, and I adore its almost sassy sound and the subtle details in the instrumental. As a bonus, it also feeds into my dying Italian pride (is there anything to be proud of at this point? All we have is art, pasta and a Malice Mizer mention).
Just like I did for Kioku to sora, I will put the sung parts that differ from the written lyrics in brackets in the rōmaji section, but I will only translate the original version because the differences are mostly repetitions. Thank you for reading and let me know what you think!
魅惑のローマ
(lyrics: Tetsu / music: Mana)
二人戸惑い 彷徨いながら 歩き続けてる
鐘の音と 静寂だけが 追いかけてくる
突然一筋の奇跡色の閃光 包まれる様吸い込まれていく
そこは無色の理由もない空間
今だけの為にある 君だけ在れば全て無限
same guilt same crime
makin' me dance around for killing time
ときめきに操られ
centenly
瞳閉じて指先と舌で 盲目の愛
いつかきっと 愛しあう言葉 途切れ途切れ
sometime somewhere
onceagain kiss around for our ties
ときめきに身を任せ
Miwaku no Rōma
[ Same guilt same crime
Makin' me dance around for killing time
Tokimeki ni ayatsurare ]
Futari tomadoi samayoinagara aruki tsuzuketeru
Kane no oto to seijaku dake ga oikakete kuru
Totsuzen hitosuji no kisekiiro no senkō tsutsumareru you [ni] suikomareteiku
Soko wa mushoku no wake mo nai kuukan
Ima dake no tame ni aru kimi dake areba subete mugen
Same guilt same crime
Makin' me dance around for killing time
Tokimeki ni ayatsurare
Centenly *
Hitomi tojite yubi saki to shita de momoku no ai
[Centenly]
Itsuka kitto aishiau kotoba togire togire
[Soko wa mushoku no wake mo nai kuukan
Ima dake no tame ni aru kimi dake areba subete mugen]
Sometime somewhere
Onceagain * kiss around for our ties
Tokimeki ni mi wo makase
[Same guilt same crime
Makin' me dance around for killing time
Tokimeki ni ayatsurare
Sometime somewhere
Onceagain * kiss around for our ties
Makin' me dance around for killing time
Onceagain * ring around * for our ties]
Enchanting Rome
We keep walking and wandering around, disoriented
Only chiming bells and silence run after us
Suddenly, a beam of light tinged with mystery appears, and we are swallowed up, as if it were engulfing us
That is a space without any colors or reason
It only exists for the sake of this moment... Only if you exist is everything infinite
Same guilt, same crime
Makin' me dance around for killing time
I am dominated by this thrill
Certainly
Close your eyes, and with my fingertips and tongue... this is a blind love
Surely one day our love words will be interrupted
Sometime somewhere
Once again, kiss around for our ties
I surrender myself to this thrill
These lyrics are so fuuuun, I think it's about two lovey-dovey vampires that are wandering in Rome, sightseeing and mostly looking for 'dinner'. Then, they are possessed by the need to suck blood and, as it seems, to twirl around and do some vampire føreplay. How obscenely fun.
Notes: I added a couple * for the "Centenly" and the "Onceagain", which I find delightful. When it talks about the beam of light, I chose "tinged with mystery" because a more literal translation would be something along the lines of "the color of a miracle", meaning somehow supernatural. Finally, Tetsu sings "(tsutsumareru) you ni", meaning "as if", but in the written lyrics the particle "ni" is missing; I added it in the rōmaji section, and I wonder if it's a typo.
Thank you for reading, and thank you Maiden Death for the code! I managed to lose the Tumblr post I picked the background from, but it's a picture of the Church of St. Ignatius in Rome.
