Harlot's Prayer

Watashi ha kanzen de ha nai dare ga iu koto ga deki masu ka?
Tandeki to watashi no kappuobafuro
Yorokobi o zessan shite I ta to yopparai
Shikashi, watashi no kokoro no mondai ga mada shukketsu…

Who can say I am not full?
My cup overflows with indulgence
Drunken with adoring pleasures
Yet my heart's issue still bleeds...

Kou no hamekomi kusai ha watashi to issho ni nokot te
Ooku no houmon sha ni kyouyuu kimyou na ai
Karera no donyoku na yokubou ga hiiro no kinu inai ni harame

The inset smell of incense remains with me
A strange love shared with many a visitor
Their lustful desires entwined within scarlet silk

Watashi ha sorezore no soushoku de keiryou gozen shi tai ga mitsukari mashi ta
Seishoku tanitsu no kin ha omoi futan to nat te iru
Watashi ha namida o kakushi te iru shinku to kousui
Tomiei o miyabut ta
Omoiyari no aru yubi de sorera o toresu

I am weighed by each adornment and found wanting
A single gold weaving is a heavy burden
I have hid my tears in crimson and perfume
But you saw through
Tracing them with a sympathetic finger

Karera ha jibun no namae de watashi de ha nai yobidasu
Shitagatte, kono karada o toru

They call me by a name not my own
So take this body

Geijutsu sakuhin…utsukushi sa ha, saigo no koto ha deki mase n ne!
Dakara ika se te I nai

Like a work of art...beauty cannot last
So don't let go

Watashi ha chikai to gin san to kono shintai o akirame ta
Ima, watashi ha anata no kibou to watashi no tamashii o ataeru

I gave this body up with oaths and silver
Now I give you my soul with hope

Yamiyo no teikyou o yakusoku
Dakara, watashi no hontou no ai o watashi o jouka

A moonless night offers promise
So sanctify me, my truest love

This is silky-beautiful in its way Nanashi. Now I give you my soul with hope. That single line makes all of this seem pure, sweet, and sanctified.
