| Japanese | English |
| 太陽が落ちてくりゃいいな | I wish the sun would fall |
| あまりにも寒いから | because it'd get colder than ever |
| 暗がりの奥は歩けない決まり | but walking in dark places is forbidden |
| 行きたい場所だって多いが | I have a lot of places I want to go to |
| あまりにも寒いから | because it's colder than ever |
| この街の外には出れない決まりなの。 | but leaving this town is forbidden |
| 今日もあくびを咀嚼して | I held back a yawn today like usual |
| 涙の乾いた塩味の道を歩いているわ | Walking down a path salty from dried tears |
| 決して近道しないように | I decided against going through |
| 連れて行かれんぞ。 | the shortcut this time |
| あいつらはいつでもそこらで待ってんだ！ | They're always waiting over there! |
| 「俺らの仲間になろうぜ」って | saying things like "Let's be friends," |
| 叫ぶ言葉「オマエだけズルい代われ」 | screaming words like, "No fair, why's it only you? Switch with us." |
| 言うには「私は禁忌に触れた」って | To put it simply, "I was touched by taboo." |
| でもさ！そこは動けないほど冷たいだろ？ | But y'know! Isn't it too cold to even move over there? |
| ざまあみろよ！そこから先は踏まないだろ？ | Serves you right! You can't move an inch past there, can you? |
| この日常は渡さないわ。 | I won't let you take these days away |
| 月が砕け散りゃいいな | I wish the moon would crumble |
| 鉛色の窓には私の姿は映らない決まり。 | because showing my figure in the tinted window is forbidden |
| あなたの近くだけが暖かいままなのは | I only feel warm when I'm by your side |
| まだ私を忘れていない証なの。 | That's solid proof you still remember me |
| 今日も痛みをシカトして | I ignored the pain today like usual |
| 涙の乾いた塩味の街で暮らしているわ | Wasting away in a town salty from dried tears |
| 決して触れてしまわぬように | I'll take them with me |
| 連れて行っちまうぞ。 | so that they'll never reach you |
| だけどあなたがそんな顔で泣くから。 | But you were crying with that look on your face |
| 声が鳴ってんだ | A voice cried, |
| 「お前の仲間にしようぜ」って | "I'll be your friend." |
| 叫ぶ言葉「ガマンは無理だろ？触れ」 | screaming words like "Giving up yet? Touch him." |
| 言うには「私は禁忌そのものだ」って | To put it simply, "I am taboo." |
| でもさ、そこは惜しいほどに暖かいだろ | Well y'see, it's so warm it's pitiful over there, right? |
| あなただけは守らなくちゃ意味がないだろ | If I can't even protect you, then it's pointless |
| こんな寒さが何だってんだよ！ | This cold is nothing! |
| 幽霊が幸せの中に居ようなんて | The phantoms were in high spirits |
| 馬鹿だ 馬鹿だ？ だとしたら何だ黙れ！ | Stupid. This is stupid? So what if it is? Shut up! |
| 言うには「私は禁忌に狂れた」って | To put it simply, "I was tainted by taboo." |
| でもさ、ここは 動けないほど冷たいから | But y'know, it's so cold that I can't even move |
| どうか ここで私に会うのはやめてほしい | Please, stop coming here to see me |
| あぁ、寒いな。 | Ahh, it's freezing |
