O mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?
It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken
*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly
O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?
O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone
It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved
O mother dear
This misery
Has settled like a stain upon my skin
-a vast unspoken sin
And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting
*repeat
You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark I can not see you anymore
"O beauty is within us, mother knows"
"O beauty is within us, like a rose"
"O beauty is within us, let it grow"
O mother dear, let me out of here!
Красота находится внутри нас
Исполнитель: Yoko Kanno (композитор)
О, дорогая, матушка
Посмотри что ты сделала
Своему покинутому, некогда любимому сыну
Зачем вообще я был рождён?
О, дорогая, матушка
Я просто ошибка природы
Мутант-мужчина, женщина внутри
Зачем же я был рождён?
Это тебя я виню за весь этот стыд,
Эти страдания и боль.
Зеркало повёрнуто к стене
Я сам себя презирающий, покинутый
Ты говоришь,"Красота внутри нас, мама знает"
"Эта внутренняя красота, она как роза"
Ты говоришь: "Красота внутри нас - так дай ей вырости"
Но выросла она такой тёмной и уродливой.
О, дорогая, матушка
Я так проклинаю тебя
За то, что ты вдохнула жизнь в своего жалкого отпрыска
Лучше бы ты сама никогда не рождалась
О, дорогая, матушка
Но я так тебя люблю
О, прости этот гнев в моей душе
Ведь без тебя я совсем один
Это я - проклятый навеки
Запертый в клетку, человек-развалина
Ущербный и порочный
О, дорогая матушка
Эти муки
Как грязное пятно остались на моей коже
- огромный невысказанный грех
Мою ошибку слишком поздно исправлять
А твоей ошибкой была вера,
В то что из страданий выходит добродетель
А любовь из вожделения
Ты говоришь,"Красота внутри нас, мама знает"
"Эта внутренняя красота, она как роза"
Ты говоришь: "Красота внутри нас - так дай ей вырости"
Но выросла она такой тёмной, что я больше тебя не вижу
Ты говоришь,"Красота внутри нас, мама знает"
"Эта внутренняя красота, она как роза"
Ты говоришь: "Красота внутри нас - так дай ей вырости"
"О, дорогая матушка, освободи меня!"

Beauty is inside us
Artist: Yoko Kanno (composer)
Oh dear mother
Look what you did
His abandoned, once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
Oh dear mother
I'm just a mistake of nature
Mutant male, female inside
Why was I born?
This I blame you for all this shame,
This suffering and pain.
The mirror is turned to the wall
I despise myself, abandoned
You say, "Beauty is inside us, mother knows"
"This inner beauty is like a rose"
You say: "Beauty is inside us - so let it grow"
But she grew up so dark and ugly.
Oh dear mother
I curse you so much
For breathing life into your pitiful offspring
It would be better if you yourself were never born
Oh dear mother
But I love you so much
Oh, forgive this anger in my soul
After all, without you, I'm all alone
This is me - damned forever
Caged, wrecked man
Damaged and vicious
Oh dear mother
These torments
How a dirty stain remained on my skin
- a huge unspoken sin
My mistake is too late to correct.
And your mistake was faith,
Virtue comes out of suffering
And love of lust
You say, "Beauty is inside us, mother knows"
"This inner beauty is like a rose"
You say: "Beauty is inside us - so let it grow"
But she grew up so dark that I no longer see you
You say, "Beauty is inside us, mother knows"
"This inner beauty is like a rose"
You say: "Beauty is inside us - so let it grow"
"Oh, dear mother, set me free!"
