YOASOBI -「アイドル」 (Idol) English Translation

Show us the incredible smile that ravages the media
Her secrets are mysterious and unknown
Even her flaws are within her area
You are a perfect liar, oh, [Ms.] genius idol

What did you eat today?
What's your favorite book?
Where would you go if you went out?
"I haven't eaten anything"
"That is a secret"
No matter what question you ask, I have to answer ambiguously

It's all so uneventful, yet dazzlingly
The secrets that seem visible have the taste of honey
"I don't have this" and "I don't have that"
"What's your type?"
"Who's your partner?"
Come on, answer me

"Falling in love with someone?
I don't even know what that means"
I can't tell if it's true or a lie
Those words make me fall for someone again
They make me fall in love again

Everyone is captivated by you
You are the ultimate perfect idol
You'll never appear again
A reincarnation of Venus
Ah, with that smile, you make everyone love you
Those eyes and those words, even if they're lies
They are perfect love

Yes, yes, that child is special
We are the foil from beginning to end
We are passers-by who make the idols more dazzling
Everything is thanks to that child

No, it's superficial
There's no way envy and jealousy don't exist
This is not a joke
That's why I can't forgive
The you who are not perfect
I can't forgive you
I can't forgive myself
I only accept the you who are stronger than anyone else

Everyone believes and admires
That the strongest idol is invincible
Not even a single weakness can be seen
A reincarnation of Venus
Don't show weakness like this
Don't let people see the unknown side of you
It doesn't have to be one of a kind
That's the truest love

The media is boiling with her favorite smile
Only this secret is completely hidden
A career built on fake love
This is my own version of love
Aqua shines brightly even when in sweat
The eyelids that hid Ruby
I sing, dance, and twirl as Maria
Yes, lies are the best form of love

Even though I've never been loved by anyone
And never loved anyone
The lies I tell will someday come true
That's what I believe

Someday, I will get everything I want
I'm such a greedy idol
Because I want to love everyone as they are
Today, I'll tell a lie again
Hoping it will come true someday
But even then
I acted like I liked you and only you

Ah, I finally said it
This is definitely not a lie
I love you all
