Kono Basho wa Watashi no Mono / This Place is Mine

translated by lokai

この場所は私のもの

ああ　忙しい
時間が足りないわ
オペラ座の経営はやることだらけ
色々口出したり
きれいな子を虐めたり
このオペラ座を支配するために

全てのオペラに主役を演じ
物語を書き換える
神のように女王のように
好きな場面で歌う声を
他の役の人が
少しでも目立つことは
この私が許さないわ　絶対　（はい！）

私のためだけに
地球を廻らせるの
衣装もセットも照明も
拍手も私のものよ

あらゆる栄光　独り占めして
大喝采浴びるのよ　（はい！）
いつもよりも更にきれいで
年わ少しごまかして　（はい！）
高価な衣装を着て
私の登場に
目を奪われ　息を飲むはず

さあ　魅力的なこの歌声が
響き渡るオペラ座は
私のものよ

Kono Basho wa Watashi no Mono

Aa, isogashii
Jikan ga tarinai wa
Operaza no keiei wa yarukotodarake
Iroiro kuchidashitari
Kirei na ko o ijimetari
Kono operaza o shihai suru tame ni

Subete no opera ni shuyaku o enji
Monogatari o kakikaeru
Kami no you ni, joou no you ni
Suki na bamen de utaugoe o
Hoka no yaku no hito ga
Sukoshi demo medatsu koto wa
Kono watashi wa yurusanai wa, zettai (hai!)

Watashi no tame dake ni
Chikyuu o mawaraseru no
Ishou mo setto mo shoumei mo
Hakushu mo watashi no mono yo

Arayuru eikou hitorijime shite
Daikassai abiru no yo (hai!)
Itsumo yori mo sara ni kirei de
Toshi wa sukoshi gomakashite (hai!)
Kouka na ishou o kite
Watashi no toujou ni
Me o ubware, iki o nomu hazu

Saa, miryokuteki na kono utagoe ga
Hibikiwataru operaza wa
Watashi no mono yo

This Place Is Mine

Ah, I'm busy!
There's not enough time –
Managing an opera house is nothing but work!
Meddling in various things,
Bullying the pretty girls,
In order to control this opera house!

Playing the lead role in every opera,
Rewriting the stories
Like a god, like a queen,
Singing in the scenes I like –
And if people in the other roles
Stand out even a little,
I won't forgive them, ever! (Yes!)

I will make the earth spin
Only for my sake!
The costumes, the sets, the lighting,
The applause – they’re all mine!

I'll keep the glory all to myself
And bathe in the thunderous acclaim! (Yes!)
Prettier now more than ever,
Lying a bit about my age! (Yes!)
The expensive costume I wear for my entrance
Should arrest all eyes – take away all breath!

So, then, this opera house which
Resonates with my charming voice
Is mine!
