Herzen's Head
Translation by Ayu Ohseki
Herzen's head 
Herzen's head 
‭A major operation in the icy land 
O Herzen's head
Lungs of bottled darkness 
And frozen eyeballs and tendons 
Are resurrected, while the revival medicine 
Repeats its progress 
‭At last
‭Life manufactured 
‭Partial regeneration 
‭The resurrection experiment 
Was a success
Herzen’s Head
Translation by EJ
Herzen’s head
Herzen’s head
A major surgery in an icy land
Oh, Herzen’s head
Lungs in the darkness of a bottle
Frozen eyeballs and tendons
Returned to life — the science of resurrection
Continues to progress
Finally
Life construction
Partial resuscitation
The resurrection experiment
Was a success
Gertzen's Head
Translation by Verthandi
Gertzen's head,
Gertzen's head,
Ice country, a grand operation,
Gertzen's head!
Lungs in the darkness of a vial,
The frozen eyeball - the tendons
Are revived, while resurrection medicine
Repeats progress
Unintentionally.
Bringing forth existence,
Regenerating parts,
To be revived --
My experiment was a success!

Translation Notes From Ayu Ohseki:

Herzen
 Is likely a reference to Russian writer and thinker Alexander Herzen, whose name is written "Gerutsen" in Japanese


Translation Notes From EJ:

ゲルツェン
Generally refers to Russian writer Alexander Herzen, but what a socialist philosopher/political theorist has to do with resurrection experiments is quite frankly beyond me..


Translation Notes From Verthandi:

Gertzen
This was my best attempt at romanizing GERUSHEN, based on the singers'
pronounciation of the word.
