Lyrics/Comosition: Nakaido "Chabo" Reichi

nan no tsumi mo nai hazu na no ni [1] 
nanraka no batsu wo uketeru 
jibun de maita tane de mo nai no ni 
sakimidareta hana tsumasareru [2] 

Although I must be innocent, 
now I am punished. 
I wasn't the one who sewed those seeds, but nevertheless 
I have to pull up the flowers that bloomed from them. 

shiranai koto to mo ienai ga 
katabou katsuida oboe wa nai 
jiyuu wo takaku kawasareta ki mo suru ga 
kokoro made yasuku utta oboe wa nai 

I can't say I didn't know about it, 
but I don't remember taking any part in it. 
I think my freedom cost me dearly, 
but I don't remember selling my soul so cheaply. 

Hey Hey kutabatte osaraba suru made 
Hey Hey dare no te ni mo kakaranai 
tooi yoru wo urotsuite-iru 
shiranai darou eien no narazu mono-tachi wo 

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell... 
Hey Hey... no one can touch me. 
You probably don't know 
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night. 

yurusenai shiuchi de mo nai ga 
iyaseru kizu de mo aru mai 
nakesou na yoru ni wa onna daite [3] 
kono chinke na shaba kara taka tobi sa 

The act wasn't inexcusable 
but the wounds from it aren't curable. 
On nights when I almost want to cry, I hold a woman 
and fly high away from this petty, corrupt world. 

Hey Hey kutabatte osaraba suru made 
Hey Hey dare no te ni mo kakaranai 
tooi yoru wo urotsuite-iru 
shiranai darou eien no narazu mono-tachi wo 

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell... 
Hey Hey... no one can touch me. 
You probably don't know 
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night. 

nan no tsumi mo nai hazu na no ni 
nanraka no batsu wo uketeru 
jiyuu wo takaku kawasareta ki mo suru ga 
kokoro made yasuku uritobasu hara wa nai... 

Although I must be innocent, 
now I am punished. 
I think my freedom cost me dearly, 
but I don't have the guts to sell my soul so cheaply... 

Translator's Notes: 
[1] "Tsumi mo nai" literally means "without sin" 
[2] In other words, "I didn't start this, but I have to finish it." 
[3] "Daite" could also mean "make love," so this line might also mean "On nights when I almost want to cry, I make love to a woman.
