Pierrot - SEKAI NO OWARI (2014)
Clown - SEKAI NO OWARI Lyrics: Fukase
You’re a clown in a forest circus Always playing the fool and making everyone laugh You smile no matter how sad you are So that everyone around you will laugh too Truthfully, it gets to you when people make fun Of that strange red nose of yours You pretend you don’t notice Dancing and falling and laughing about But it’s normal for people to cry when they trip over and get hurt
The trapeze is dangerous, so it’s okay if you don’t do it “If I don’t, then who else will?” you say, laughing The tightrope is dangerous, so I’d really rather you didn’t do it But I guess this is already something you’ve decided to do So I’ll be here cheering for you from the side “Break a leg!”
Actually, I know that Even though you’ve practiced countless times You still fall from time to time And get irritated I want to tell you that you’re doing fine But I understand why you’re starting to get impatient
I carefully watch you Doing your best And learning the magic of performance While the circus is fast asleep That’s why I wish you didn’t push yourself so hard With that, it’s goodnight for today
The trapeze is dangerous, so it’s okay if you don’t do it “If I don’t, then who else will?” you say, laughing The tightrope is dangerous, so I’d really rather you didn’t do it But I guess this is already something you’ve decided to do So I’ll be here cheering for you from the side “Break a leg!”
The trapeze is dangerous, so it’s okay if you don’t do it “If I don’t, then who else will?” you say, crying
The trapeze is dangerous, so it’s okay if you don’t do it “If I don’t, then who else will?” you say, laughing The tightrope is dangerous, so I’d really rather you didn’t do it But I guess this is already something you’ve decided to do So I’ll be here cheering for you from the side “Break a leg!”

I know I’ve already made this clear in past posts, but I really think Sekaowa’s best work recently are in their b-sides; Pierrot is much much much better that the actual promotional song, and the remix of Fukai Mori pretty much smashes them both. Translation credits: relative-theory
