Nan'no tsumi mo nai hazu na no ni
Nanraka no batsu wo uketeru
Jibun de maita tane de mo nai no ni
Sakimidareta hana tsumasareru

     Tho' I feel I'm innocent
     I'm still being punished now
     I wasn't the one who sewed these seeds
     Yet I must remove the flowers that bloomed of them

Shiranai koto to mo ienai ga
Katabou katsuida oboe wa nai
Jiyuu wo takaku kawasareta ki mo suru ga
Kokoro made yasukututa oboe wa nai

     I can't say I didn't know of this
     I don't remember taking part in it, tho
     I think my freedom has cost me dearly
     I don't remember selling my soul this cheaply

HEY HEY kutabatte osaraba suru made
HEY HEY dare no te ni mo kakaranai
To'oi yoru wo urotsuite iru
Shiranai darou eien no narazu mono-tachi wo

     Hey, Hey, until I die and say my last good-bye
     Hey, Hey, nobody can touch me
     You probably don't know
     Those eternal outlaws that prowl in the distant nights

Yurusenai shiuchi de mo nai ga
Iyaseru kizu de mo aru mai
Nakesou na yoru ni wa on'na daite
Kono chinke na shaba kara taka tobi sa

     It wasn't an unforgivable act
     Yet the wounds from it can't be cured
     On the nights I feel like crying, I hold a girl
     Then fly away from this petty, corrupted world

HEY HEY kutabatte osaraba suru made
HEY HEY dare no te ni mo kakaranai
To'oi yoru wo urotsuite iru
Shiranai darou eien no narazu mono-tachi wo

     Hey, Hey, until I die and say my last good-bye
     Hey, Hey, nobody can touch me
     You probably don't know
     Those eternal outlaws that prowl in the distant nights

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

     Tho' I feel I'm innocent
     I'm still being punished now
     I think my freedom has cost me dearly
     I didn't have the nerve to sell my soul so cheaply
