The rusted chains of prison moons
牢獄の月の錆びた鎖は
Are shattered by the sun
太陽によって砕かれる
I walk a road, horizons change
私は道を歩く 地平線は変動する
The tournament's begun
トーナメントが始まった
The purple piper plays his tune
紫の笛吹きが曲を奏でる
The choir softly sing
聖歌隊が古代の言葉で3つの子守唄を
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
ささやくように歌う
[Refrain]
For the court of the crimson king, aah
クリムゾンキングの宮殿のために
Aah, aah
[Verse 2]
The keeper of the city keys
街の鍵の番人は
Put shutters on the dreams
夢にシャッターをかけて
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
不十分な計画を抱く私は
With insufficient schemes
巡礼者の扉の外で待つ
The black queen chants the funeral march
黒い女王は葬送行進曲を歌う
The cracked brass bells will ring
ひび割れた真鍮の鐘が鳴るだろう
To summon back the fire witch
火の魔女を呼び戻すために
[Refrain]
To the court of the crimson king, aah
クリムゾンキングの宮殿へ
Aah, aah
[Instrumental Bridge]
Aah, aah
Aah, aah
[Verse 3]
The gardener plants an evergreen
庭師は花を踏みしめながら
Whilst trampling on a flower
常緑樹を植える
I chase the wind of a prism ship
私は甘酸っぱさを味わうために
To taste the sweet and sour
プリズムの船の風を追う
The pattern juggler lifts his hand
ジャグラーが手を上げる
The orchestra begin
砥石車が回るのと同じくらいゆっくりと
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
オーケストラが始まる
[Refrain]
In the court of the crimson king, aah
クリムゾンキングの宮殿で
Aah, aah
[Flute Solo: "The Return of the Fire Witch"]
[Verse 4]
On soft gray mornings widows cry
柔らかな灰色の朝 未亡人は泣く
The wise men share a joke
賢者たちはジョークを言い合う
I run to grasp divining signs
私は占いのサインを知るために走る
To satisfy the hoax
作り話を満足させるために
The yellow jester does not play
黄色い道化師は遊ばないが
But gently pulls the strings
優しく糸を引く
And smiles as the puppets dance
人形が踊るのを見て微笑む
[Refrain]
In the court of the crimson king, aah
クリムゾンキングの宮殿で
Aah, aah
Aah, aah
[Instrumental Outro: "The Dance of the Puppets"]
