English translation
Translation I sway in the scarlet crimson red, towards the end of my dream. I cannot detach myself from you.

For countless times, I give up my progress and kill off my emotions. With no place to go, my emotions are slowly awakening. I understand very well that your unsullied smile is an entity too cruelly distant from me.

Although my unhealing wound keeps on gnawing away my heart, even now I can't completely suppress my thoughts that dwell in the darkness.

I sway in the scarlet crimson red, towards the end of my dream. The destiny of our encounter begins to turn. With this secret known to no one, I keep falling deeper and deeper down. Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.

As I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was rescued by a pair of real and never-changing eyes. However, the brighter the light is, the darker the shadow will be when it creeps up on me.

The two beating hearts are like a pair of mirrors facing each other; their similar but different pains continue on endlessly.

Burning in a scarlet crimson red and purging everything, that unrivaled mirage is now in motion. Transcending firmly one transient night after another, without a doubt, I cannot escape, even if I were to drown in my sins.

I sway in the scarlet crimson red, towards the end of my dream. The destiny of our encounter begins to turn. With this secret known to no one, I keep falling deeper and deeper down. Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.
