Lyrics

Envy
[Neid]

“A glass coffin. A sleeping princess.
Why did you cross this border?
Come, try to sing...”


Skin as white as snow and hair black as ebony
Lips red like blood; I was born, desired by winter

Tender warmth, the scent of spring passed by
Leaving behind sweet and sad pain, my birth mother went faraway...

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That’s you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]!”

“Ohohohohoho!”

My stepmother was cold to me, and I remembered my dead mother’s love
Embracing it thus, I danced with illusions, becoming a young woman with the passing of days...

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That used to be you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]...
But now it’s her - 《Snow White》<Schneewittchen>”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!”

“Ooooooh, oh....hah, hah, hah....princess!”
“Nooo!! Don’t come here, geezer!”
“Ohhhhhh, wait for me!”
“No way--!!”
“Princess!!”

“I was chased by the old hunter, and I ran into the forest...”

“I didn’t really...want to do this.”
“Then why did you?”
“Princess, I can’t defy the queen.”
“Please, spare me!”
“Princess, I find it hard to kill you myself.”
“Then I promise you, I’ll never go back to the castle!”
“Then I have a plan as well. I’ll kill a pig and pretend it’s you!”

“And, what awaited me was...”

The approaching shadows of dusk swallow the path I walk
I found a small, cute house in this unknown forest I stumbled into

“Ah! Someone’s sleeping on our bed-rungen!”
“Seriously!?”
“Is she dead-galt?”
“No, she’s still living-lich!”
“Everyone, what do we do now-romberg?”
“Hmm.”
“Usually, a prince kisses her, right-chen?”
“Ohhhhhh!” “So, any princes amongst us-schtein?”
“Well, she’d have to settle with an old man this time.”
“That’s right!”
“Mmm...”
“Guten morgen!”
“Ohh!”

A beautiful young girl, waking up after a refreshing nap!
Those who awaited my awakening are seven dwarves with cute accents,
After that, I nearly died several times thanks to my sly stepmother,
But every time, I miraculously revived!
(“You! Who the hell are you?”
“My name is Idolfried Ehrenberg. Please feel free to call me Ido.”
“Stop screwing around! Where’s Cortes?”
“I have no obligation to tell a fool like you.”
“Shut it!”)

“Hi there.”
“I’m sorry, m’am. I can’t let anyone inside the house...”

“You home alone? How admirable!
I’ll give you one of these red, ripe apples[apfel], here you go!”

“I’m sorry, m’am.
I don’t need it. I can’t take anything...”

“Oh my, you worry too much!
Well, if you hold suspicion[zweifel], then you can share it with this old lady!”

Unable to resist the tempting devil[teufel], the 7th sin tastes like honey

“I’m diggin in!”
“I’m diggin in...”
“Ah!”
“Hehehe...”

“Mirror, o mirror...who is the fairest in this world?”
“That’s you – 《the Queen》[die Königin]!”

“Ohohohoho!!”


“I see. So that’s how you were deceived?
Then, let’s use a certain man’s peculiar preference in your revenge.
Now, it’ll be soon. Wait for your fated other in the world of dreams...”


Where is my ideal bride?
Ah, I’ve searched west and east, north and south, against rain and wind
But still, I couldn’t find her

A girl opening towards the future, an old woman opened towards the past
I’ve tried loving all the living women[people], the buds and the flowers, but still I couldn’t find her

The approaching shadows of dusk swallow the path I walk
I found a small, cute house in this unknown forest I stumbled into

You, dead while looking asleep within the closed glass
Are more beautiful than anyone else. I’ve finally found you!

“Dwarves, will you give me that corpse?”
“This”
“Guy”
“Is”
“Definitely”
“A”
“Prince”
“Charming”
“So why not?”

“Now, those fools are going to mess up soon...
Are you prepared, my princess?”
“Make sure you carry it carefully.”
“Yes, Your Highness! Ah-!”
“Ahh-!”
“Guten morgen!”
“Ahh-!!”
“Now, let the revenge tragedy begin!”

Enchanting white skin and hair black as obsidian
Lips red like fire
If your sin was being jealous of them
Wear burning boots-

And    dance    till    you    die!

“Kyahaha! Ahaha! Ahahahaha!”
“Hothothothothot! Aahhh! Hothothothot! Gyaaah-!!
“What is that? Can’t you dance any better? It’s your cute daughter’s wedding, you know? Ahahaha!”
“Good grief...”


“Mirror, oh mirror, Mär-mirror,
Who’s the cutest in the world? Ufufu?”
“Of course it’s princess Elise.”
“Really!? I’m happy! Ahahaha!”

「硝子の棺 眠る姫君 君は何故この境界を越えてしまったのか?
さあ、唄ってごらん…」

真雪の肌は白く 黒檀の髪は黒く
血潮のように赤い唇 冬に望まれ産まれた私

柔らかな温もり 過ぎ去りし春の匂い
甘く切ない痛み遺して 生母ははは遠くへ逝ってしまった……

「鏡よ鏡……此の世界で一番、美しいのは、誰なのかしら?」
「其れは貴女―《王妃様》die Konigin!」

継母は冷たく 亡母の愛を憶いだし
独り抱きしめ虚像と踊る 月日を重ね娘に成った……

「鏡よ鏡……此の世界で一番、美しいのは、誰なのかしら?」
「其れは貴女―《王妃様》die Koniginでしたが……
今では彼女―《雪白姫》Schneewittchen!」

「狩人の爺やに 追いかけられ 森の奥へと逃げる……」
「ワシだって本当は、こんなこと……したくなかったんじゃよ」
「だったら、どうして?」
「姫よ、お妃様にゃ逆らえぬ」
「お願い、助けて!」
「姫よ、殺すワシも辛いんじゃよ」
「それなら、私もうお城うちには、帰らないと約束するわ」
「それなら、ワシにも策がある。猪殺して身代わりにしよう!」

―そして、私を待っていたのは……。

宵闇の迫る影が 進む道を呑み込んでゆく
迷い込んだ見知らぬ森の 小さな可愛いお家

寝起きも超スッキリな美少女、私の目覚めを待っていたのは、
可笑しな訛りを持った七人の愉快な小人達で、
その後、狡賢い継母の謀略により、幾度か死にかけたが、
その都度、奇跡的に復活し続けたのであった!

※一部物語の本筋とは関係ない音声が、流れている可能性が御座います…。

「ごめんね、お婆さん。
どんな人も、家へは、入れちゃいけないのよ……」

「お留守番かい? 偉いねぇ!
さぁ、真っ赤に熟れてる林檎Apfel。お前さんに1つあげよう、ほれ!」

「ごめんね、お婆さん。
いらない。私何も、貰っちゃいけないのよ……」

「あらまぁ、心配症だねえ!
そうとなりゃ、抱いてる疑惑Zweifel。この婆と2つに分けよう!」

抗えない 誘ってる悪魔Teufel 7つめの罪は蜜の味

「鏡よ鏡……此の世界で一番、美しいのは、誰なのかしら?」
「其れは貴女―《王妃様》die Konigin!」

「成る程。それで君は騙されたわけだね?
ならば、ある男の特殊な性癖を君の復讐に利用してみようか
さあ、もうしばし、運命の相手は夢の世界で待つものさ」

僕の理想の花嫁は 何処に居るのだろう?
嗚呼 西も東も 北も南も 雨にも負けず 風にも負けず
捜したけれど 見つからないのさ

未来に開く 少女も 過去に開いた 老婆も
蕾も花も 生きとし生ける 全ての女性ひとを 愛でても尚 見つからない

宵闇の迫る陰が 進む道を呑み込んでゆく
迷い込んだ見知らぬ森の 小さな可愛いお家

儘、閉ざされた硝子の中で、
眠るように死んでる君は、
誰よりも、嗚呼、美しい。
やっと、見つけたよ!

「さぁ、もうすぐあの阿呆共がやらかすぞ…。心の準備は宜しいかな?お姫様」
「さぁ、復讐劇の始まりだ!」

魔性の肌は白く 黒曜の髪は黒く
焔のように赤い唇
妬いたのが お前の罪なら
灼けた靴で―

死 ぬ 迄 踊 れ !

「鏡ヨ鏡、メル鏡。此ノ世界デ一番可愛イノハ誰カシラ?ウフフ」
「勿論、それはエリーゼ姫さ」
「本当!?嬉シイ!アハハハハハ!」
