幕の向こう 鳴り出す拍子木Beyond the curtain, the wooden clappers start to sound
今日も私は 影に立つToday again, I stand in the shadows
紅を引くひと 照らすひとThose who put on rouge, those who shine the lights
その背をそっと 送り出すI gently send them on their way
拍手はいつも すり抜けてThe applause always slips past
私の横を 通り過ぎるAnd passes by my side
誰にも言えない この歌だけOnly this song I cannot tell anyone about
暗い舞台に 置いてきたI left on the darkened stage
「そこがお前の場所だ」なんて‘That is where you belong,’ they say
誰が決めたのWho decided that?
灯りが落ちるThe lights go down
名前を呼ぶ声A voice calls my name
今夜だけはTonight, at least
逃げないI will not run away
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
影を抜け出し 幕を越えるI leave the shadows and cross the curtain
借りものの夢じゃなくていいMy dream does not have to be borrowed
この声だけは 私のものThis voice, at least, is mine
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
震えるままで 前を向くStill trembling, I face forward
誰かになるためじゃないNot to become someone else
私を 私に返すためBut to give myself back to me
黒い衣装の そのままでStill dressed in my black clothes
一歩 板の上へ出るI take one step onto the stage
息を呑むような 客席にInto the audience's breathless hush
小さな琴の音が落ちるA soft note from a koto falls
最初の声は 震えてたMy first note was trembling
だけど二度目は もう違うBut the second was already different
隠した夜も 悔しさもThe nights I hid, the frustration too
全部ビートに 預けてくI entrust it all to the beat
上手に笑うことばかりAll I ever learned
覚えてきたけどWas how to smile convincingly
今は飾らないBut now, this unadorned
この心でいいHeart of mine is enough
もう二度とはNever again
戻らないWill I go back
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
影も涙も 連れてゆくI take my shadows and tears with me
拍手のためじゃなくていいIt does not have to be for applause
この声だけは 消させないI will not let this voice be silenced
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
灯りの先へ 踏み出してI step beyond the lights
誰かがくれた人生じゃないThis is no life someone else gave me
私が 私を選ぶ夜Tonight, I choose myself
音が止まるThe music stops
息も止まるEven breathing stops
誰もいないようなAs though no one were there
静けさのあとAfter a silence
ひとつOne
またひとつThen another
暗闇からOut of the darkness
拍手が咲いたApplause begins to bloom
でも今ならBut now
わかるI understand
欲しかったのはWhat I wanted
拍手じゃないWas not applause
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
昨日の私を 追い越してI leave yesterday's self behind
名前も飾りも いらないI need no name or adornment
この声ひとつ あればいいThis one voice is all I need
今宵 主役を盗むTonight, I steal the spotlight
そして明日から 盗まないAnd from tomorrow, I will steal no more
誰かの光を奪わなくてもEven without taking someone else's light
私はここで 輝けるI can shine right here
今宵 幕を越えてTonight, I cross the curtain
ようやく私に たどり着くAnd finally find my way to myself
朝の舞台に ひとり立つI stand alone on the morning stage
昨夜の跡が まだ残るTraces of last night still remain
もう影にはTo the shadows
戻らないI will never return
次はNext time
盗まないI will not steal
