01 - Keiyaku (The Contract)

(Sebastian) Struggling, in humiliation you're drenched,
grasping tight even to a mere spider's thread.
And with that, from the very edge of despair,
you escape only to return to the start.

Your comical struggles are mocked by the moon on high.
If you want it shot from the sky, I'll do it.

All you need to do is call my name, in this moment now.
The revenge that you are wishing for, I will grant to you.
All that I insist for in exchange is your trembling soul.
Thus the contract binds the two of us, and you shall be my Lord.

At the end of your everlasting disgrace,
laughing at the absurdity of those days.
Your obscene resistance is judged by a blaming god,
if you want him crushed on his throne, I'll do it.

Offer me the prize that I desire, I'll drink every drop.
What I want presented before me is that soul of yours.
Service and protection you shall gain from a demon's hand.
Pitiable promise, you are made for that reward.

All you need to do is call my name, in this moment now.
The revenge that you are wishing for, I will grant to you.
All that I insist for in exchange is your trembling soul.
Thus the contract binds the two of us, and you shall be my Lord.

03 - Ai wa Chimamire (Love is Covered in Blood)

(Sebastian) "I love ya dear," I whispered in your ear,
my sweating hands were tightly clenched.
"Ain't you a fool," you struck with your words.
Love is a blood-covered thing.

I thought that I was still a man,
and yet I'm telling you all of this.
Are you okay with that?
You really are a demon.
My cry in London
is choked within the mist of night.

"I love ya dear," I shouted out to you,
tearing my heart out from my chest.
"Not this again," your words kicked me down.
Love is the deadliest thing.

All through the night, at a scotch pub,
inside the entrance, you'll find me.
I'll drown my sorrows away.
I miss you badly, my love.
Carriages race to and fro,
crashing under the mist of night.
Choking within the mist of night.
Astray inside the mist of night.
A never-clearing mist tonight.
I will not be missed, so goodnight.




04 - Black and White (Black and White)

(Sebastian) Clearly echoing in the night is the sound of your voice.
As the contract we made commands, I will do as you wish.

(Ciel) You are nothing at all to me, just one hell of a pawn.
You will dance in the dark of night on the palm of my hand.

(Sebastian) Your orders are all, everything.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Ciel) My orders are all, everything.
I devote all to you.

Stains of black
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Stains of white
dye the chess
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . playing board,
so call out your checkmate, Lord.
To the king
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . To your king
I will vow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . make your vow
that the truth will be offered to you.




05 - Shi no Toge (The Thorns of Death)

Sweet it is, the honey of Thorns of Death,
take that which can not decay; Shinigami, your soul, and grant
permission to sleep at last.

Pure it is, the poison of Thorns of Death,
take that which has known no peace, that eternally living soul,
and grant it a burial.

Each moment blurs as time fades away,
Carved deep upon you are countless wounds.
If it's a torcherous life you are living
then what will be revealed?

Sweet it is, the honey of Thorns of Death,
take that which can not decay; Shinigami, your soul, and grant
permission to sleep at last.




06 - Sei to Shi no Sukima ~Alan no Theme (The Crevice Between Life and Death ~Alan's Theme)

(Alan) Even now, in the sky, the memory
of stars already dead still shine bright.
Someday I also would like to become
a shining light for somebody.

The journey I am on has been a lengthy one
my shadow of loneliness dragging behind.

I was alone when I was born into this world
and all alone is how I'll leave it too.
If that is the fate decreed for me,
then tell me why do tears keep coming out?




07 - R-shitei (Grell no Yobai) (R-rated (Grell's Nighttime Booty Call))

(Grell) It's okay, I can understand,
because you're such an innocent,
that when you push me to the floor
you will be breathing raggedly.

In your embrace I feel the heat,
I know a storm is coming on.
But everything that's after that
is classified as Rated R.

O-oh, O-oh,
I know that love is sometimes such a brute,
so when you play with me please don't be rough,
a fragile thing like me would break!
Oh no! Oh!

It's okay, I can understand,
be patient just a moment more,
and I will show you everything,
even what's marked as Rated R.




08 - Druitt no Jibun Sanka (Druitt's Self-Paean)

(Druitt) Come, chirp chirp, yes, chirp chirp,
sweet little birdies warbling praises.
Fear-frigid faces twitch as they open
to trembling songs in vibrato.
Come, chirp chirp, yes, chirp chirp,
song that will resonate like an orchestra.
A baton in my hand, the artisan steeped in the beauty of death.

Tweet twitter twitter, tweet twitter twitter,
sweet little birdies warbling praises.
Please melt away the shrill weepy cries for
morals I hear from the Oblates.
Tweet twitter twitter, tweet twitter twitter,
show me the wanton rouge of parted lips.
As if they were honey, you daintily sip from your own salty tears.

Beauty Divine, awakening;
the world before you transforms.
Lunacy rivals sadism
in their splendor on display.

Ah, savior am I, messiah on high.
Wonderful, doubtlessly! Well renowned, notably!
Raise your adorations up to me.

Come, chirp chirp, yes, chirp chirp,
sweet little birdies warbling praises.
Death throes surveyed; a contest beginning,
show me your best nomination.
Come, chirp chirp, yes, chirp chirp,
Sing of your sorrow, dance out your misery.
Cast from heaven you fall, righteous like angels, now painted in sin.

Beauty Divine, it's for your sake
that I was born in this world.
Outlandish art, my objet d'mort,
you'll likely leave marks in history.

Ah, saintly am I, martyr yet to die.
I'm a true prodigy! And as cool as can be!
Raise your exaltations up to me.




09 - Hanakotoba wa "Kodoku" ~Eric no Theme (The Flower's Meaning is "Loneliness" ~Eric's Theme)

(Eric) If it only would allow me
to help share in all your pain
then there's no sin that I
would not commit.

On the day you pass away I,
for the first and final time,
upon your cold cheek
will lay a kiss.

The flower called Erica adorning the coffin means
in the flower language "loneliness."

I was alone when I came into this world.
When the time comes to pass, all alone is how I'll die.
That is my destiny
so tell me why it is that tears are overflowing down?




10 - Checkmate (Checkmate)

(Sebastian) See the theater curtain rise
on this dark night of fate.
Shall I take on our cornered prey,
finish him off for good?

(Ciel) You are nothing at all to me, just a pawn out of hell.
Nevertheless as butlers go
you're the strongest and so,

(Sebastian) Your orders are all, everything.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Ciel) My orders are all, everything.
I devote all to you.

Stains of black
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Stains of white
dye the chess
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . playing board,
so call out your checkmate, Lord.
To the king
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . To your king
I will vow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . make your vow
that I will become your loyal sword.

(Druitt) Crystal Palace will be the place
where we will set the stage.
(Eric) Souls that number a thousand strong,
see their light emanate.

(Will) Something I thought impossible
is about to occur.
(Ronald) This trap someone helped orchestrate
will invite tragedy.

(Abberline) Who is the culprit? Who is it?
. . . . . . . . . . (Hanks) Who is the culprit? Who is it?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Bard, Finny & Mey-Rin) Who is the culprit? Who is it?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Druitt & Eric) Now the time is at hand.

(Sebastian) Stains of black
(Ciel) Stains of white
(Will & Ronald) dye the chess
(Alan & Grell) playing board,
(Sebastian & Ciel) So call out your checkmate now.
. . . . . . . . (Will, Ronald, Alan & Grell) Call out your checkmate now.
(Sebastian) Felony,
(Ciel) penalty,
(Abberline & Hanks) will exchange
(Alan & Grell) a caress
(Sebastian & Ciel) in that opera house tonight.
. . . . . . . . (Will, Ronald, Alan & Grell) Opera house tonight.
(Eric & Druitt) Stains of black
(Bard, Finny, Mey-Rin, Abberline & Hanks) Stains of white
(Eric & Druitt) dye the chess
(Bard, Finny, Mey-Rin, Abberline & Hanks) playing board,
(Sebastian & Ciel) So call out your checkmate now.
. . . . . . . . (Everyone else) Call out your checkmate now.

(Sebastian) To the king
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Ciel) To your king
I will vow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . make your vow
that I will become your loyal sword.




11. An arrangement of "The Doll Song" - Les Oiseaux dans la Charmille
(Olympia's aria from Les Contes d'Hoffmann)


Birds flutter within the bower
In the sky, the star of day
Ev'rything speaks to the young girl
Ev'rything speaks to the young girl
Of love! Ah!
All speaking of love!
Ah! This song of such kindness, so sweet
The song of Olympia!
Olympia! Ah!

This song of such kindness, so sweet
The song of Olympia!
Olympia! Ah!

All that sings, all that resounds
All that sighs, in turn by turn
Love! Ah!
All speaking of love!



(French Karaoke)

Les oiseaux dans la charmille
Dans les cieux l'astre du jour,
Tout parle à la jeune fille
Tout parle à la jeune fille
d'amour! Ah!
Tout parle d'amour!
Ah! Voilà la chanson gentille
La chanson d'Olympia!
d'Olympia! Ah!

Voilà la chanson gentille
La chanson d'Olympia!
d'Olympia! Ah!

Tout ce qui chante et résonne
Et soupire, tour à tour
L'amour! Ah!
Tout parle d'amour!




12 - Sen no Tamashii to Ochita Shinigami (A Thousand Souls and a Fallen Shinigami)

(Sebastian) You pitiful shinigami, lies and sins piling up, repeating.
Your reason, a single soul that you long to rescue.
Here comes the approaching demon, obeying the orders given.
His reason, a single soul that he longs to devour.

Though you still struggle with every ounce of your strength,
there is no exit in this vast labyrinth.

A thousand dark nights by a thousand small lights are lit. The pure souls' emanations
reveal all the places the dark used to hide away
the one who abandoned God; Shinigami.

A thousand dark nights by a thousand small lights are lit. The bright fire of your sin waits
to burn you, to scorch you, to sear you with suffering,
the one who fell into hell; Shinigami.




13 - Unmei ~Alan to Eric no Theme (Fate ~Alan and Eric's Theme)

(Eric) If it only would allow me
to help share in all your pain
then there's no sin that I
would not commit.

On the day you pass away I,
for the first and final time,
upon your cold cheek
will lay a kiss.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Alan) Let's start a journey
(Eric) Let's start a journey.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . right now, just the two of us.
Flowers full of loneliness
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Our lonely shadows, they
called Erica
will overlap. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . will overlap.


Yes, I am sure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The reason I was born
that the reason I was born . . . . . . alone was so that I
all alone, is because  . . . . . . . . . . . would one day meet and be
I would one day meet with you. . . . drawn near to you.


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dearest friend,
Dearest friend, since that's our
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . that is our destiny.
destiny, that is why
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We never will
we will never
need tears ever again. . . . . . . . . . . need tears ever again.


Yes, I am sure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The reason I was born
that the reason I was born . . . . . . alone was so that I
all alone, is because  . . . . . . . . . . . would one day meet and be

14 - Hallucination (Hallucination)

(Sebastian) It's too late to pretend, we're past deception.
It's foolishness to try to whisper soft and low.
Just take these sentiments, project them on the moon as it crosses the night.

All people everywhere, like little birds, are
in cages of despair just trying to endure.
Until somebody comes and breaks apart the lock we cannot fly.

There's a brief touch of lips, all too soon separated.
This is just a dream, the customary dream.
I can feel an embrace like a wave crashing over.
If you listen well there's a sound as if fate is crumbling.

Fingertips lose their way 'til they're also entangled.
Can that be a sin? Or could it be a snare?
Fire that burned in my chest, long ago you were frozen.
Now you melt away, now you burn away, when I close my eyes.
I've seen this dream so many times
but tonight it is...




15 - Namashitsuji no Theme (Theme of Namashitsuji (Live Butler))

One Two Three
Passionate applause will make us very happy.
Anybody want to see another showing? Who does?

Thank you most sincerely for your smiling faces.
Anybody want a gift of heartful kisses? Who does?

Number One! We'd like to recommend
the advantage of glasses to you all.
Number Two! Tend to your love and dreams.
Make sure you're giving them proper care.
Number Three! Things that make you sad
should be settled before the month is out.
Number Four! A handsome face
that you meet makes for an excellent day.

We work hard, we rehearse each day,
For this time that has finally come.
Never let our defenses fall;
if we lose our focus, then we will
promptly forget all of our lines!

Passionate applause will make us very happy.
Anybody want to see another showing?
Thank you most sincerely for your smiling faces.
Anybody want a gift of heartful kisses? Who does?

As you all exit from the theater
customary loneliness is waiting for you.
But you mustn't lose to it, look inside your heart.
Memories are shining from within;
eternal, indestructible.

Let's Go!
Passionate applause will make us very happy.
Anybody want to see another showing?
Thank you most sincerely for your smiling faces.
Anybody want a gift of heartful kisses? Who does?
Funny story: I was watching the musical over and over again, trying to remember the translations Nayama provided on the BlackButler.net forums, when my mind kept rewording things so that they fit the music.

Then I lost a week of my life to a sudden obsession.

I'm hoping everything's still correct, at least in spirit. I added a lot of words that weren't in the Japanese lyrics, in order to bring up the syllable count. Everything (should) match the music now, though!

Edit: Now includes song 11, the Doll Song!

Edit 2: I guess I should finally mention here that I made a subtitle file of this? Available here. Works with the video you can download here; just make sure they have the same filename and it should work automatically.

Edit 3: Now available on tumblr, for all your reblogging needs.

Watched the DVD with this in hand. Most things excellent, really improved the quality of experience. Wish the translation on the DVD were even half as effective. Thank you so much.
