English translation
Translation In the dark night I smile; my eyes glow red At midnight my body starves for blood and struggles in pain

On the monochrome stage hidden by the shadow of the moon With the love with a yawning gap, I dance the sorrowful waltz with you

1,2,3… I'm in pain…and sorrow…

The crimson rose dances madly…

Vanitas...Vanitas... That pain keeps encircling me

Vanitas...Vanitas... Even if I decay, I'll still love you only

I hate to be under the spell; I don't want to face it The flame of the sun wavers in the gap between love and desire

Kisses your cheeks and brightens your white and soft skin Your fading rosiness overlaps with my sin

1,2,3… I'm in pain…and sorrow… 1,2,3… In my dream I pray, “God have mercy”…

I fear that one day I may suck your life away…

Despite shivering, I still show my fangs And bite your white slim neck

The crimson rose blooms like this And counts the sins I have committed

Your soft smile melts my cry of regret Mixing our blood together and sucking it

I'm falling to the purgatory……

Vanitas... Vanitas... That pain keeps encircling me

Vanitas... Vanitas... Even if I decay, I'll still…

Yes, I'll only live for you
