English Translation:

I love and love The festival has started
I love and love The night has begun

Stabbed by the gazes of men
My back bends to swirling applause

The perfect red rose that you left
Please accept these feelings tonight
In the flames our various cries scorch the heavens
I love and love The festival is short
I love and love The night is short

I've suffered well more than others
I'm saddened, much more than others

Gypsy gypsy What will happen when you tire of dancing?
Gypsy gypsy You dance like a flower in the wind, don't you?

The final, parting card in a tarot fortune
Tomorrow, this will be us, won't it?

While longing for happier days
I can't stop the roar of my heart
A single shooting star disappears into the dawn
I love and love the festival is over
I love and love the night has ended

I'm known as a loose woman, much more than others
I've shed blood, much more than others

Gypsy gypsy What will happen when you've tired of singing?
Gypsy gypsy You sing like a caged bird, don't you?

I'm hurt, much more than others
I have dreams, much more than others

Gypsy gypsy What will happen when you've tired of love?
Gypsy gypsy You'll only perish alone

¹ The kanji reads as "betsuri" but is sung, "wakare."
