English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production based on the Bollywood musical film.

This is the last of the songs from Om Shanti Om! I’m not sure when the translation of the actual show will happen, as I’ve only seen it a couple times so I’m not very prepared, but having this done will make it a much easier process.

Masquerade (Dastaan-E-Om Shanti Om)

Om:
Everyone, listen – to the most dreadful tale in the world
Once a man loved a woman
But that dream vanished
For the woman was madly in love
With another man

There are all sorts of stories like that
But there’s one difference here
That the woman was murdered!
When she ended up in the way
Her lover lured her into a trap
And destroyed all the evidence
A tragedy of shattered love
That is Om Shanti Om

But there was another man there
Who saw everything
A man who
Dearly loved her
Even though he died
He returned
In order to expose
Her betrayer

He’s hiding his bloody hands
Behind a false smile
He’s done nothing to atone for his crimes

Isn’t it a fantastical story
A tale of reincarnation
Until this goal is fulfilled
It will never end

The flames of truth can’t be put out
The movie isn’t over yet!
Your sentence will be passed down any moment
There’s no way to escape now

The right will always win
Hard work will surely uncover the truth
And love will one day have its retribution

Though you may mock me as a fool
And call me an idiot
I’ll never give up
Love will triumph through a song of prayer
That’s Om Shanti Om
This is Om Shanti Om
Yes! Om Shanti Om
