YOASOBI - Idol Lyrics

[Official Translation]

Couldn't beat her smile, it stirred up all the media Secret side, I wanna know it
So mysterious
Even that elusive side, part of her controlled area Complete and perfect
All you say is a bunch of lies
Dear miss genius idol, unmatched

(You're my savior, you're my saving grace)

What did you eat today?
What book do you love?
Whenever you go out for fun, tell me, where do you go?
Haven't eaten anything
It's a secret, unknown
Any questions you're facing, always acting so vaguely

So unconcerned, although you brightly glow
Any seemingly unveiled secrets are as sweet as honey Confusing, why, why, why?
Essential lie, lie, lie
So, what is your type of guy? Any partner?
So, now, answer this

"I don't have any idea how I could love anyone" "I don't seem to know what it signifies"
Cannot find out if it's true or it's a lie
Once again, there's somebody who's fallen for the words and cues Made him lose his head over you

That emotion melts all hearts, all eyes on you Cause you are perfect, the most ultimate idol Unrivaled, will not appear again
It's the brightest star reborn, yes, indeed Using that smiling face
That "I love you" again

Now, everybody is lured and captivated by you The pupil that you got
The words you vocalize
Even when untrue, it's your perfected Ai

[Full Version Continues]

Right, right, we all know she's very special, yes
We had lost the fight before it started, so impressed Miss I'm such a star
We're serving as support to her grace
Cannot tell me everything was because of her No, it's not right
Out of line
How can we not feel jealous while being around It's not a joke, you know, right?
So, I cannot forgive you for that
Completely deny Imperfect you that I sight Myself, no pardon allowed
I won't allow anyone if it's not you, strongest of all

That emotion seized all hearts worshiping you Yes, indeed
So strong, it's you, unrivaled idol There cannot be weaknesses to find The brightest star is residing in you
The gaps and shortcomings, don't show'em Dammit, dammit
Parts nobody wants to know should remain hidden
One and only
If it's different, no way, no way Such a true love, it's the realest Ai

Showing this smile, my own weapon Boiling media
Keeping everything about my secret deep inside
"I'm in love with you," my career is built on such a lie It's the way I know to show my love, without a doubt Running down, my sweat is flowing
Cleanest aqua, right?
Ruby hidden under my eyelids where it resides I sing and dance around

Look at me, I'm Maria
So, lying surely is the greatest kind of love

I recall no one that loved me whole before And I've not been in love with anybody before Now, the lies I'm making up
I'm hoping that a day comes when they all become true And I keep wishing they do

One day, I will hold everything that I pursue Yes, I am so greedy, true voracious idol
So, sincerely, what I'm wishing for is to love each of you with all my heart And so, today, I lie again
The words I vocalize inside of me
I'm wishing that one day they come true Up to this day, I've not been able to let you
And you hear me saying those meaningful words
I said it at last
I know it's not a lie as I'm voicing these words I love you

[Translation #2]

Invincible smiles, tearing up the media
I want to know her secret, it's mysterious
Even being goofy, it's within her territory
You, perfect and a liar
A genius-like idol

What did you eat today?
What's your favorite book?
If you're going out to play, where are you going?
I haven't eaten anything
That's a secret
No matter what you ask,
She dodges the question

So calm and serene
Yet radiant
The secrets that seem visible but invisible have the taste of honey
That's not here,
And not here
What's your ideal type?
Who are you dating?
Come on answer me!

"Falling in love with someone
I don't really know about that"
Can't tell if its a lie or the truth
Words like that make another person fall
Make them fall in love again

Everyone is captivated by her
You're the perfect and ultimate idol
Will never appear again
A reincarnation of the first star
Ah, saying I love you with that smile
You are captivating everyone
Even if those eyes, those words are lies
It's perfect love

[Full version continues]

Yes, yes, that girl is special
We're just the add-on
Playing the supporting role B for the star
Everything can't be thanks to her
It's cheeky
Jealousy and envy? They can't be non existent
It's not a joke
That's why it can't be forgiven
We can't forgive you if you are not perfect
I won't forgive myself
I will acknowledge no one but you who's stronger than anyone else

Everyone is worshiping
A truly invincible and powerful idol
No weaknesses to be found
She embodies the first star
Don't show any weaknesses
Don't reveal anything we don't want to see
It has to be truly unique
That's what real love is

With her confident smile, she stirs up the media
She definitely keeps her secret no matter what
Her career, built on lies like "I love you"
That's my own way of love
Even my sweat is beautiful aqua
Rubies are hidden behind these eyelids
Singing, dancing, and twirling, I'm Maria
Yes, lies are the ultimate form of true love

I've never been loved by anyone
Or loved anyone myself
But the lies I tell
Will someday become the truth
That's what I believe

Someday, I'll definitely have everything
I'm a greedy idol, after all
Because I want to love everyone
In the way I am
Today, too, I'll tell a lie
Hoping these words will come true
But I still couldn't tell you, and only you
However, I finally said it
This is definitely not a lie
"I love you"

(You're my savior, my true savior, my saving grace)
