いち. に. さん. 目(め)を閉(と)じて
One, two, three… close your eyes
数(かぞ)えていた気配(けはい)が消(き)えるまで
Keep counting until the presence around you disappears
「もういいよ」って声(こえ)に振(ふ)り返(かえ)れば誰(だれ)もいなくて
You hear, “Ready!” and turn around—there's no one there
 
 
あぁ さがす振(ふ)りをして
Ah, pretending to search
このまま一人(ひとり)で ぶらり歩(ある)くのがいい
It's nice to wander around alone like this
出(で)るに出(で)られない事情(じじょう)は約束(やくそく)のせいでしょう
You can't come out even if you want to—because of that promise, right?
祈(いの)りささげてる
You all pray in silence
 
 
最後(さいご)まで見(み)つからずにいれば
As long as I don't get found before the very end
願(ねが)い事(ごと)はきっと叶(かな)うはずと
My wish is sure to come true
ふざけただけなのに信(しん)じている
It was only a joke, but you believed it
日(ひ)が暮(く)れるまで誰(だれ)もいなくなればいい
So stay gone until sunset; no one come back
消(き)えてしまえ
Everyone disappear
 
 
ひとりふたり…不安(ふあん)げな
One, two… even when I hear
動(うご)きがしても知(し)らぬふりをして
An uneasy sound, I pretend not to know
境内(けいだい)の鍵(かぎ)など閉(と)じてみたりして帰(かえ)ろう
Maybe I should lock the gate and just go home
 
 
あぁ 真夜中(まよなか)近(ちか)くに鳴(な)いたフクロウの
Ah, let the owl's cry
声(こえ)に怯(おび)えるがいい
Near midnight frighten you
そして一夜(ひとばん)中(ちゅう) 眠(ねむ)れずにいれば夜明(よあ)けの頃(ころ)
If you can't sleep all night because of it, then by dawn
カラスもなくでしょう
The crows will call, too
 
 
最後(さいご)までみつからずにいれば
As long as I don't get found before the very end
願(ねが)い事(ごと)はきっと叶(かな)うはずと
My wish is sure to come true
ふざけただけなのに 息(いき)をころし
It was only a joke, but you held your breath
まだ祈(いの)るつもりですか?私(わたし)は帰(かえ)るよ
Are you still going to pray? I'm going home
鬼(おに)ですから
Because I'm “it,” the one who's seeking
 
 
鳥居(とりい)くぐる夕暮(ゆうぐ)れ時(どき)は 爽快(そうかい)な気分(きぶん)で
At dusk, slipping through the crow's roost, I feel so carefree
微笑(ほほえ)みもこぼれてしまう
I can't help smiling
 
 
最後(さいご)まで見(み)つからずにいれば
As long as I don't get found before the very end
願(ねが)い事(ごと)はきっと叶(かな)うはずと
My wish is sure to come true
ふざけただけなのに信(しん)じている
It was only a joke, but you believed it
そのまま祈(いの)るがいい
Then keep on praying
私(わたし)は鬼(おに)です
I'm “it”
鬼(おに)ですから
Because I'm “it”
