Cleopatra 2001 Lyrics - Pizzicato Five

(konishi/keigo oyamada) 

Translators: ed valdez and ted mills 

Eien no kurayami no naka wo 

Hoki-boshi kakenukete yuku no 

Andromeda fui ni hikatte 

Kiseki ga umareru zencho 

Eien no kurayami no kanata 

Mawaridasu video tape kara 

Itsuka yume mita oojisama ga 

Ai no kotoba wo sasayaku to 

Soo nisen-ichinen no kyo 

Cleopatra wa nemuri kara mezameru no 

Soo nisen-ichinen no kyo 

Uwaki na koi no hoshi ga 

Hitotsu umareru no 

Hello 

Ah daenkido kyo mo 

Mawari tsuzukeru 

Mujuryoku no satellite de 

Venus wa sukoshi taikutsu 

Eien no kurayami no kanata 

Gin iro no video tape no naka 

Itsuka deatta 

Playboy no kudokimonku ga 

Loop ni naru 

Soo nisen-ichinen no kyo 

Cleopatra wa nemuri kara mezameru no 

Soo nisen-ichinen no kyo 

Uwaki na koi no uwasa 

Hitotsu umareru no 

Goodbye 

---------------------------------- 

In the perpetual darkness, 

A comet passing through 

Andromeda suddenly shines 

A miracle is born, a sign 

In total darkness on the other side 

From a rolling video tape 

A king I sometimes dream of 

Softly whispers words of love 

Yes, it's 2001 today 

Cleopatra is dozing off so wake her up 

Yes, it's 2001 today 

The star of fickle love 

Is born alone 

Hello 

Ah, and today the orbits 

Continue to turn 

Venus is a little bored 

Of these weightless satellites 

On the other side of perpetual darkness 

On a silver video tape 

The loving words of a playboy 

I once met 

Are being looped 

And it's 2001 today 

Cleopatra is sleepy so wake her up 

And it's 2001 years today 

The gossip of fickle love 

Is born alone 

Goodbye
