月に吠える [Tsuki ni hoeru] [English translation]

Howling at the moon by the roadside

A single shadow passes through the town

Without knowing the moon is waxing

The night swiftly creeps into the deep

Before I know it, there are a horde of people

Gazing patiently upon my face

“You wouldn’t get me, would you?”

I pretend to be a beast

I want to throw away anything and everything

Tell me that I’m alive

If I sing as if howling at the moon, alas, ever so splendidly

Shatter the Earth with an ice pick and fulfill it with malice

If I sing as if howling at the moon

Oh... do as you wish, the way you want things to be

The pale moon by the roadside

“Where is it?”, people say

Can no one see it?

This unsightly beast

It turns to where you point your finger

It sets into motion with no face

Something’s watching over me

From the shadows upon the dock

I don’t have faith in anything and everything

No one expects something from you

If I sing as if howling at the moon, alas, ever so splendidly

I want to draw a line on the waves by dipping a hard pen into the moonlit lake

If I sing as if howling at the moon, alas, ever so splendidly

So long as time allows

Everyone thinks I’m but a poor patient

I want to throw away anything and everything

I-I haven’t tainted the world enough, not yet

If I sing as if howling at the moon, alas, ever so splendidly

Crack open my skull with an ice pick and fill it with lukewarm soup

Sing as if howling at the moon

Ah… beast dwelling in the depths of my throat

This world is at the mercy of your desire

I howl at the moon by the roadside
