Original
今は昔 300年前
王位を争う二人のクイーン
女王エリザベス
美しきメアリー・スチュアート
メアリーにその剣 捧げた
伝説の二人の勇者
タルカス その力／我が剣
バターのように岩を切る
ブラフォード その技と心／我が技と心
変幻自在 敵を討つ
身寄りのないふたり その力鍛えた
止まり木を求めて
メアリーの慈愛に 安らぎを見つけ
忠誠を誓った
二人の勇者は止まらない
メアリーを救うために
二人の勇者を止めるため
エリザベスは呼びかける
お前たち 直ちに自首せよ
主君の命は助けよう
我らに断れるはずも無し
我らに悔いは無し この命 女王のため
うおおおおおお
裏切ったな エリザベス
この怨み 呪ってやる 貴様らを
永遠に呪い抜く
タルカスの怒りで 筋肉は鉄のよう
その首を落とせず
ブラフォードの無念 その髪が絡まり
まるで生物のよう
騎士の物語
人は運命という牢獄に生きる
そこで手を伸ばす
見るのは星か それとも泥か
どちらも…
（ジョジョ ディオ）
正義と言えよう
Romaji and English Translation
Ima wa mukashi, 300-nen mae
Ōi o arasou futari no kuīn
Joō Erizabesu the first
Utsukushiki Mearī Suchuāto
Mearī ni sono ken, sasageta
Densetsu no futari no yūsha
Once upon a time, 300 years ago
Two queens fought for the throne
Queen Elizabeth I,
and the beautiful Mary Stuart
To Mary were their swords devoted—
The two heroes of legend
Tarukasu, sono chikara / Waga ken
Batā no yō ni iwa o kiru
Burafōdo, sono waza to kokoro / Waga waza to kokoro
Hengen jizai, teki o utsu
Tarkus's power / This sword of mine
Cuts through rock and butter alike
Bruford's tricks and mind / These tricks and mind of mine
Allow for endless ways to strike
Miyori no nai futari, sono chikara kitaeta
Tomariki o motomete
Mearī no jiai ni, yasuragi o mitsuke
Chūsei o chikatta
Having no family, these two honed their strength
Searching only for a place to rest
In Mary's familial love, they found their peace
They swore loyalty to her alone
Futari no yūsha wa tomaranai
Mearī o sukū tame ni
Futari no yūsha o tomeru tame
Erizabesu wa yobikakeru
Omae-tachi, tadachi ni jishu seyo
Shukun no inochi wa tasukeyō
The two heroes refused to be stopped
Until they rescued their Mary
In order to stop the two heroes
Elizabeth gave an ultimatum:
"You two! Surrender yourselves immediately,
and I guarantee your master's safety!"
Ware-ra ni kotowareru hazu mo nashi
Ware-ra ni kui wa nashi, kono inochi, joō no tame
We have no reason to refuse such a plea
We have no regrets—our lives exist only for our queen
Uōoooo
Uragitta na, Erizabesu
Kono urami, norotte yaru, kisama-ra o
Eien ni noroi nuku
Uoooooooh!
You've betrayed us, Elizabeth!
With this grudge, we curse you all!
We curse you for eternity!
Tarukasu no ikari de, kinniku wa tetsu no yō
Sono kubi o otosezu
Burafōdo no munen, sono kami ga karamari
Maru de seibutsu no yō
Kokoro no omō mama ikita
Kishi no monogatari
In Tarkus's rage, his muscles turned to iron,
and they struggled to cut off his head
In Bruford's regret, his hair tangled itself,
almost as if it were alive
They lived by their hearts until the end
That is the knights' tale
Hito wa unmei toiu rōgoku ni ikiru
Soko de te o nobasu
Miru no wa hoshi ka, soretomo doro ka
Dochira mo...
(JoJo, Dio)
Seigi to ieyō
People live in a prison called fate
Reaching out through those bars
Do they see the stars, or the mud?
Either could...
(JoJo, Dio...)
Be said to be correct
