Catherine Lyrics Translation – Natori
The lyrics writer uses sharp metaphors like ‘sell love to buy my life’ and ‘sink a black scalpel into this head’ to explore themes of deception and self-doubt. natori sings about a world where even stars rot, questioning the era they were born into. The line ‘Deceive me skillfully’ captures the song’s blend of vulnerability and defiance.
Kore wa ai wo utte seikatsu wo kau shoubaiThis is just a business where I sell love to buy my life.
Chibashitta me mo mawaru kurai no awaremi wo choudaiGive me some pity, enough to make my bloodshot eyes spin.
Ano hoshi mo kusatte ochite iku zankoku na jidai daIt’s a cruel era where even those stars rot and fall.
Saikoro wo futte deta me wa detarameThe numbers on the dice I threw are just complete nonsense.
Jigou jitoku no atama ni kuroi mesu wo irete kurePlease, sink a black scalpel into this head of mine that’s earned its fate.
Damashite kure yo jouzu niDeceive me skillfully.
Ubatte kure yo kozakashikuTake it all away with your clever little tricks.
Hey d somatte black niHey, ‘D,’ get stained in black.
Omae jaa nanka tarinaiYou just aren’t enough for me.
Umareta jidai wo uramimasu waI really resent the era I was born into.
Yasui kotoba de majogari tte sorya nai waCalling it a ‘witch hunt’ with such cheap words is just wrong.
Anata no iu hyoujun tte yatsu ni kurutchimattaI’ve gone crazy because of this ‘normal’ standard you talk about.
Ore no kurutta byouki ni namae wo tsukete kurePlease, give a name to this madness of mine.
Damashite kure yo jouzu niDeceive me skillfully.
Batsu wo kure yo itamashikuGive me a punishment that’s truly painful.
Bika shite bagutta aidentitiAn identity that’s been beautified and glitched out.
Watashi mo onaji mitai rashiiIt seems I’m just the same as everyone else.
Tashikametai my dnaI want to check my DNA.
Ai mo godousa wo okosu yori ai wo kometeInstead of love causing errors, I’ll pour my heart into it.
Omae no doku ni demo naritai to omottaI thought I wanted to become your poison.
Kore ijou nai rabu kooru daro uketore yoThis is the ultimate ‘love call,’ so just accept it.
Damashite kure yo jouzu niDeceive me skillfully.
Ubatte kure yo kozakashikuTake it all away with your clever little tricks.
Hey d somatte black niHey, ‘D,’ get stained in black.
Omae wo aishitai noniEven though I want to love you.
Aishite kure yo catherineLove me, Catherine.
Aisasete kure yo catherineLet me love you, Catherine.
Ai wo kure yo catherineGive me love, Catherine.
Fukyouwaon no aironiiIt’s a dissonant irony.
Ai wo utte mo hai kabutte moWhether I sell love or end up covered in ash,
Saigo ni nokoru no wa hone dake deshoonly the bones will be left in the end, right?
Mada negau nante zeitaku na yamai da naStill wishing for things… what a luxury this sickness is.
‘Catherine’ lyrics are about the dissonance between love and self-worth. natori’s performance, featuring Yu Sasaki’s production, creates a sound that is both unsettling and deeply personal.
