(Oh my darling, I love you
 And the kid who just stands tonight)

Mystery--mashou wo utsusu purachina no tsuki akari
kasukani hohoemu kuchibiru azayakani someta
mitsumeteite sorasanaide
anata no sono shisende,
fuuin wa tokareru...

Mystery--the platinum radiance of the moon reveals deviltry;
The faint smile playing on her lips glistens brilliantly.
Keep your eyes on me--don't take your eyes off me--
Your stare will relieve me,
Of the seal that binds me!

*Shy Venus, cast aside your mask;
 Please be gentle in your cruelty...
 I want to see your uncovered face,
 I have a secret that's only for you!
 I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart;
 I am a beast that has nowhere to run,
 Until the day that I pass away, trapped in the labyrinth of love!

Sadistic--I want to give you a passionate, shameless dance;
I want to be completely controlled, like a puppet on a string!
When I hear your fluttering voice cry out "I love you,"
My heart is filled with another of your wounds,
Don't ignore the proof!

**Sly Venus, cast aside your mask;
  Please be gentle in your cruelty...
  Oh, show me, your uncovered face,
  No one knows the time of the carnival!
  I want to hold you, surrender in my heart;
  I am a beast that's fully drowned in love,
  Until the day that I pass away, dreaming of this feeling!

Originally transliterated by Yoshiko Kameda
Corrections and English translation by Jerry Qassar

Notes:
        - I (Jerry Qassar) would like to thank Ms. Kameda
        for the original transliteration, and AD Vision for
        their interpretation of the TV edit version.  For
        the most part, I left the first verse as AD Vision
        translated it, and left the transliteration alone
        except to correct what I perceived as errors.

        - Because I do not have a Japanese lyric sheet with
        me, I still will not guarantee that the Japanese
        lyrics are 100% correct.  Any corrections you have
        should be sent to tuxkamen@san.rr.com.  I tried very
        hard (read: listened to 'Mask' more than is healthy)
        to make sure that all of the changes I have made
        are correct, so any suggestions are welcome.

        - One note on verse 2:
        "Maru de haritsumeraretai to, ayatsuru you ni" becomes
        (literally) "I want to become completely strung up and
        have my strings pulled".  Kinky, but I felt that it
        sounded better to use the puppet analogy.  Again,
        suggestions welcome.

−Ｍｙｓｔｅｒｙ−魔性を映すプラチナの月明かり
かすかに微笑むくちびる　鮮やかに染めた…

見つめていて　そらさないで
あなたのその視線で封印は解かれる

　シャイなＶｅｎｕｓ仮面捨てて　優しくて残酷な
　素顔を見せたいの　あなただけにあげる　Ｓｅｃｒｅｔ
　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｋｉｓｓ　ｙｏｕ
                Ｓｕｒｒｅｎｄｅｒ　ｔｏ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｈｅａｒｔ
　逃げ場所のない野獣　愛の迷路の中で息絶えるまで

−Ｓａｄｉｓｔｉｃ−情熱のムチで踊らせてあげる
まるで張りつめられた糸　操るように…

途切れた声で叫ぶ　”Ｉ　Ｌｏｖｅ　ｙｏｕ”
この胸に刻み込む　消えない証を

　ズルイＶｅｎｕｓ仮面捨てて　優しくて残酷な
　素顔を見せるのは　誰も知らない一瞬（とき）のＣａｒｎｉｖａｌ
　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｈｏｌｄ　ｙｏｕ
                Ｓｕｒｒｅｎｄｅｒ　ｉｎ　ｍｙ　ｈｅｒａｔ
　愛に溺れた野獣　夢見心地のままね息絶えるまで

　シャイなＶｅｎｕｓ仮面捨てて　優しくて残酷な
　素顔を見せたいの　あなただけにあげる　Ｓｅｃｒｅｔ
　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｋｉｓｓ　ｙｏｕ
                Ｓｕｒｒｅｎｄｅｒ　ｔｏ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｈｅａｒｔ
　逃げ場所のない野獣　愛の迷路の中で息絶えるまで

　ズルイＶｅｎｕｓ仮面捨てて　優しくて残酷な
　素顔を見せるのは　誰も知らない一瞬（とき）のＣａｒｎｉｖａｌ
　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｈｏｌｄ　ｙｏｕ
                Ｓｕｒｒｅｎｄｅｒ　ｉｎ　ｍｙ　ｈｅｒａｔ
　愛に溺れた野獣　夢見心地のままね息絶えるまで
