And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well’ve been closed

(*)She said 『I’m home on shore leave』
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 『You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride』
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straight away died

If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed

接下來在驚訝與迷惘中
我只見到她的臉 模糊地轉為蒼白
究竟是我的眼睛看不清
還是她的神情黯淡了下來
噢…我已經無法肯定

我強自鎮定地，
想要不理會她的解釋，
試圖玩一些花樣，不願讓她走：
「我想要真正的自由，我很清楚，
並不需要原因。」她說。
我想，這怎麼可以，
她怎麼可以變成
那群老掉牙的古板女人之一？
噢…我已經混亂地無法思考了

最後我嚐試，努力說服著，
她本已是這自由之海中的人魚
儘管，她輕吐的話語是如此無力：
「我需要的是真正的自由」
但我已無法招架

在身邊依舊響個不停的音樂與笑鬧聲
還有荒謬而矛盾的事物，
這一切竟顯得如此合情合理
無法言語的剎那間
我似乎與她攜手探了彼此心海中最深的
底
