nan no tsumi mo nai hazu na no ni [1] 
nanraka no batsu wo [bad word] 
jibun de maita tane de mo nai no ni 
sakimidareta hana [bad word] [2] 

Although I must be innocent, 
now I am punished. 
I wasn't the one who sewed those seeds, but nevertheless 
I have to pull up the flowers that bloomed from them. 

shiranai koto to mo ienai ga 
katabou katsuida oboe wa nai 
jiyuu wo takaku kawasareta ki mo [bad word] ga 
kokoro made yasuku utta oboe wa nai 

I can't say I didn't know about it, 
but I don't remember taking any part in it. 
I think my freedom cost me dearly, 
but I don't remember selling my soul so cheaply. 

Hey Hey kutabatte osaraba [bad word] made 
Hey Hey dare no te ni mo kakaranai 
tooi [bad word] wo [bad word] 
shiranai darou eien no narazu mono-tachi wo 

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell... 
Hey Hey... no one can touch me. 
You probably don't know 
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night. 

 [bad word] shiuchi de mo nai ga 
 [bad word] kizu de mo [bad word] mai 
nakesou na [bad word] ni wa onna daite [3] 
kono chinke na shaba kara taka tobi sa 

The act wasn't inexcusable 
but the wounds from it aren't curable. 
On nights when I almost want to cry, I hold a woman 
and fly high away from this petty, [bad word] world. 

Hey Hey kutabatte osaraba [bad word] made 
Hey Hey dare no te ni mo kakaranai

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell... 
Hey Hey... no one can touch me. 
You probably don't know 
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

nanraka no batsu wo [bad word] 
jiyuu wo takaku kawasareta ki mo [bad word] ga 
kokoro made yasuku uritobasu hara wa nai... 

Although I must be innocent, 
now I am punished. 
I think my freedom cost me dearly, 
but I don't have the guts to sell my soul so cheaply... 

Translator's Notes: 
[1] "Tsumi mo nai" literally means "without sin" 
[2] In other words, "I didn't start this, but I have to finish it." 
[3] "Daite" could also mean "make love," so this line might also mean "On nights when I almost want to cry, I make love to a woman.
