I Am All the Mysteries in Creation
Translation from Nozomi
        DVD Release (2011)
An ode to the face.
An ode to the neck.
An ode to the hair.
An ode to the nails.
An ode to the chest.
An ode to both hands.
An ode to both feet.
An ode to the whole body.
In other words, a crest.
The heraldry of the human body.
The form I see in the mirror.
Both subtle and complex, a well-known design.
White spots on black cloth, courtly etiquette.
Black spots on white cloth, in the form of a shield.
People clad in unintelligible symbols.
The artistic history of the Baroque.
Salamanders.
Dragons. Porcupines.
The Eucharist. A sacrament.
Faith. Virtue.
The sealed-away
miracle of the rose.
The bloom of man and beast.
Pearls and gems,
people and age.
A cross of flowers!
Gold, silver, purple, green, red, blue, black.
Gold, silver, purple, green, red, blue, black.

An ode to the face
An ode to the head
An ode to the hair
An ode to the nails
An ode to the chest
An ode to both arms
An ode to both legs
An ode to the body
Their names are crests
The heraldry of the human body
The form I see in the mirror
Complex and subtle, Manners and mores
Black and white court etiquette
White and black in an ever-opposing pattern
People drawing complicated symbols
The art of history via baroque technique
Salamanders,
Dragons, Wild boars
Holy objects, Sacraments
Faith, Virtue
The sealed-away
miracle of the rose
The bloom of man and beast
Pearls and gems;
people and age
A crucifix of diamond flowers!

All the world, I am 100 wonders!
I Am All the Mysteries in Creation
Translation by Verthandi
An ode to my face,
my neck,
my hair
An ode to my nails
and my torso
An ode to my hands
and my feet
This is an ode to all the parts of my body
In other words, a crest;
This is the heraldry of the human body
That figure in the mirror
Performs delicate work in a complex situation
Charge argent on field sable; courtly ettiquette
Charge sable on field argent; shield-shaped design
People arrayed in impenetrable symbol
The historical art of the Baroque
The Salamander
The Dragon and the Urchin
The hidden miracle of the Eucharist
Creed and virtue
Kept in confinement,
The miracle of the rose
Human-beast-flower
Pearl and jewel
The age of man
Floral diamond and cross
