Translation[3]
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

- Encyclopedia Britannica: "Vanitas, (Latin, "vanity") in art, a genre of still-life painting that flourished in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. A vanitas painting contains collections of objects symbolic of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures; it exhorts the viewer to consider mortality and to repent."
