Lyrics: Why do people love each other? (The Count’s Daughter)

English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production based on the comics.

Alain:
Just as retribution awaits a crime
The withdrawn waves crash down again
Even if I gather up the sand left behind
It dries up and falls away–In the end it all crumbles

Because I loved you, I deceived you
Because I deceived you, I lost you
The scorching hot desert of my infatuation
Is eating away at my heart
Exposing my twisted nature

Why do people love each other?
It’s unbearable pain piercing through me
An unquenchable flame, revealing the truth
Your image is burned into my eyelids
But when I try to reach out and embrace you
You just shrug me off silently

Richard:
A falsehood is before my eyes
I am blind to the real truth
The one I trusted betrayed me
I hurt the one I loved

I finally cut through the darkness I was floundering in
With a sword of light
But I fear that for your heart’s desire
You no longer think of me

Francois:
I shut everything away in dreams
But it was a weak and fitful sleep
A rude knock soon forced me awake

I turned my face to the warmth I had forgotten
But when I tried to stop the wheels that had begun to move
My fingertips ended up stained red

All three:
Why do people love each other?
It’s unbearable pain piercing through me
An unquenchable flame, revealing the truth
Your image is burned into my eyelids
But when I try to reach out and embrace you
You just shrug me off silently
At least let me tell you that this love
Is not a lie
