ヤプーズ – ロリータ１０８号 – Lolita No. 108

I don’t need red shoes Buy 8cm heels
I’m sorry I’m in love with you
I can be with you in my dreams but don’t come any closer
It’s dangerous to operate me
I’ve been installed with an IC missile
My system is built to self-destruct

My daddy made me a stoic lady
But I wanted to tell you I love you
Iron virgin Stoic lolita
My daddy made me a tragic lady
My cruel daddy the doctor
Tragic lolita Alone until I die

I have irremovable white knee-high socks My energy source is milk candy
Bad taste Reconstruction baby
If you love me hold me and run as fast as you can toward despair
I’m sorry I’m in love with you
On sleepless nights I dream
I dream of blowing up

My daddy made me a stoic lady
But I wanted to tell you I love you
Iron virgin Stoic lolita
My daddy made me a tragic lady
My cruel daddy the doctor
Tragic lolita Alone until I die

Her daddy made her a stoic lady
Cyborg 108 Mechanic baby
Such a lonely lonely girl Stoic lolita

コレクター – Collector

I get a cicada I must get you
I get a spider I must get you

Pretending to listen to the road I sniff the ether
I slam the trunk shut Punishment for refusing my love

I get a mantis I must get you
I get a moth I must get you

Flying along the coast When you come to we’re in the basement
I put iron shackles on you Keep you like a butterfly

I get a chafer I must get you
I get a hornet I must get you

I aim my laser gun Take a shot and drop you the first chance I get
I slam the trunk shut Punishment for refusing my love

I get an ant I must get you
I get a beetle I must get you

Flying along the highway When you come to we’re in the basement
I’ll give you anything you want Anything but your freedom

Oh I’m a maniac
But tonight I’m a fanatic
The crimson luna is pathetic
But tonight it’s cultic maniac

Oh I’m a maniac
But tonight I’m a fanatic
The pounding rain is pathetic
But tonight it’s cultic

肉屋のように – Nikuya no Youni/Like a Butcher Shop

One quick tug on the chainsaw starter
Oh please, won’t someone stop me
It reverberates in the bones
The feeling of ecstasy through my body, oh no
Light the boiler coke of my murderous intent
Oh, I can’t hold out any longer
I thirst for trickling lifeblood
I want to eat you up, my darling
I flip on the drill switch
Oh please, won’t someone stop me
A thunderous roar in the dark of the night
sends goosebumps up and down my body, oh no
Pour gasoline on the flame of my murderous intent
Oh, I can’t hold out any longer
From your arms to your eyes to your heart
I want to eat you up, my darling
Won’t anyone come and stop me
Won’t anyone come and stop me, magma boils my carotid artery
until I shiver with delight, until I writhe in delicious agony
Won’t anyone come and stop me
My temporal pulse is pounding, magma rushes through my carotid artery
until I shiver with delight, until I writhe in delicious agony
My temporal pulse bursts into flames, magma boils my carotid artery
until I shiver with delight, until I writhe in delicious agony

An air-car rushes through
the light-tube highway at night
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
just a manufactured design

I am a machine with no civil liberties
I receive my directive: Go to room B
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
I have never seen the sun rise
Your data has been downloaded
I will give you what you desire

You don’t need your pride
Tonight, I will show you
something much more valuable
Codename: Barbara

I am unfamiliar with love or loneliness
I have no need for such useless features
A type-8 sex-roid
a high-quality replicant
It’s just the cost of existence
I am a machine with no civil liberties
I am not programmed to feel shame
A type-8 sex-roid
A high-quality replicant
I have only ever known the night
I will give you whatever you want
Whatever you want

What does it mean to be proud and willful?
Does that sound too pessimistic?
That’s right, I am an optimist
Codename: Barbara

I’ve never had any complaint in bed
Not once in my life.

NOTES:

“I have never seen the sun rise/I have only ever known the night” — These lines translate more accurately to “Everyday the morning never comes/Everyday the night continues.” Apparently, she is only activated at night and is shut down before the morning.

“It’s just the cost of existence” — lit., “existence value is all it is.”
