Lyrics:

Aoku ureu tsuki ga
Kajikamu mori o terashi dasu
Soko ni haruka
Himerareta
Daremo shiranai butai ga
Aru no

(The blue, melancholy moon
Illuminates the bitingly cold forest
There's a stage
Tucked away
That no one knows about
)

"Akari touse"
Kirameku kohaku to kage ga
Doa o ikimajiru yoru
"Akari touse"
Odori ko-tachi wa saezuru
Opaaru no kuchibashi de
Nekkyou ni
Michiru kyakuseki o
(Showman) kare wa
Kugutsu-tachi to miorosu
Sono furi ageta
Ude ni, maku ga ochita nara
Saa, shou no hajimari da

("Light it up!"
This night of sparkling amber
And shadowy figures lurking at the doors
"Light it up!"
These opal-beaked dancers
Twittering like frenzied songbirds
The showman looks down on his puppets
With a flick of his wrist, the curtain falls
Let the show begin!
)

Raion ga hoe
Kurutta rappa ga naku
Watashi wa kyoufu ni hikareteiku
"Saa, tobe !"
"Mae !"
"Karada yojirasete neji kireru made odore !"

(The lions are howling
The mad trumpets are playing
I am drawn towards this crazed fear
"Come on, fly!"
"Dance!"
"Dance until your body twitches in pain!"
)

Saikou no shou ga yondeiru
Saigo no shou ga yondeiru
Saikou no shou ga
Kodomo-tachi no okiru jikan made

(The greatеst living show is calling
The last chapter is calling
Beforе all the little children wake up
The greatest living show calls
)

Chiisana makuma ni
Hoshi akari ga kieta nara
Tsukareta yakusha-tachi ga
Retsu nashite hakeru
Kemuri to kuyutta
Tsumetai butaiura kara
Kakedaseba asayakana
Hikari ni deatta

(During the tiny intermission
The starlight vanishes
The exhausted actors
Line up to leave
From the smoky
And stuffy backstage
I ran out, and encountered
A brilliant, vivid light
)

Koi o shite
Shiranai "anata" to warutsu o odoritai
Daremo ga minna
Mitorеru youna
Sore wa suteki na ketsumatsu ga
Aru no

(I'm falling in love
I want to waltz with this "you" I don’t recognise
The kind of dance that
Everyone stares ata
That would be a beautiful ending to this story
Well, there is…
)

"Akari tousе"
Korusetto no yoruyami to
(Showman) kare ni torawareteita
"Akari touse"
Amata no sasayaki ga hora
Namae o yondeiru
"Akari touse"
Supankooru no doresu to
Agaru iki wa mabayuku
Keredomo, douda
Watashi no engi wa, dokoka
"Tadashiku" naiyou da

("Light it up!"
The Showman traps me in
A corset of night and darkness
"Light it up!"
The many whispers are
Calling my name
"Light it up!"
In a sequinned dress
And a breath of blinding light
What do you think of me?
My performance seems to be
Somewhat "improper"
)

Kamen no otoko ga
Gurasu o te ni warau
Watashi wa butai o korogemawaru
"Saa, tobe !"
"Mae !"
Karada yojirasete neji kire hikisakareru

(The masked man
Laughs with a glass in his hand
I roll about the stage
"Come on, fly!"
"Dance!"
My body twists and turns and rips me apart
)

"Saikou no shou da" koe ga suru (The last curtain is calling)
Saigo no shou da koe ga suru (For the show to end)
"Saikou no shou da" chigireteku (The last curtain is calling)
Saigo no (For the show to end)

("The Greatest Living Show" is calling (The last curtain is calling)
The last chapter is calling (For the show to end)
"The Greatest Living Show" is being torn apart (The last curtain is calling)
The last… (For the show to end)
)
