Artist: Janne Da Arc
Title: Wizard
Words: Yasu
Music: You

Take a look at the character for koi?
take a good long look,
see how the 'heart' portion is 'below' *1

you still have much to learn, don't you?
playing off your purity
I'll cast some dangerous magic on you.

'I can't stop myself, I've fallen for you'
grinning wickedly, beneath the mask...
close your eyes... 'you fool, if that's what you want...'
smile at me... I'll kiss you and stroke your hair
whether you cry afterward, is none of my concern
it's your own fault for getting duped.

go on, line up the letters of the alphabet.
immediately following 'H'
will always be 'I', right? *2

that dress is in the way,
I'll get you to take it off
using every lie and trick in the book,
and I'll put even an even more dangerous spell on you.

'I'll give my 'LOVE' to you' licking my lips under the mask...

I'm a wizard... 'Are you good at shaking that ass?'
I try a little of everything... by morning, gone.
whether you cry afterward, is none of my concern
it's your own fault for getting duped.

when you find out it wasn't 'LOVE' it was 'I' *3
you'll be hurt, but learn a valuable lesson.

Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma

Translator's Notes: *s!

* 1 - Yasu's implied meaning here is that the Chinese character for 'Love' looks like shita and kokoro (I don't really see the shita but...) as in shitagokoro or secret agenda, hidden intentions, actual motives.

* 2 - Many of you probably know this already but H or ecchi in Japanese means sexual play, or the sex act. I or ai means love. But as you'll see in *3 Yasu's meaning is a bit different.

* 3 - Just to further explain Yasu didn't mean "love" he meant 'I' as in himself.
