少女と黒猫はハロウィンの夜に
A = IA
B = GUMI

【A】子供の頃に怯えていた
おばけを連れた黒い猫が
ずっと待ってた長い夜に
いたずらに手招いた

【B】さあさ ようこそ おいでなさい
かぼちゃ頭で顔を隠し
身を守るなら好きなように
でも振り返らないで

【A】ああ　震えてるの？子供みたい。
【B】ほらほら前へ進みなさいな。
【A】もう引き返せない
【A+B】夜に踏み込んだから

【A】ねえ　こんな暗い道をどこへ行くのでしょうか
【B】ああ　くだらないね　答えはもう出てるよ
【A】さあ　歌い踊りましょう　憂いもお飾りにして
【B】ねえ　次は誰がドア叩く？

【A+B】Trick or Treat！

【A】ああ　思い出した。この景色だ。
【B】ほらほら君も笑いなさいな。
【A】そう　こんな風に逃げ惑った。
【B】さあさあ君も追いかけなさいな。

【A】ああ　怯えてるの？震えてるの？
【B】ほらほら全部受け入れなさいな。
【A】もう引き返せない
【A+B】夜に踏み込んだから

【A】ねえ　誰がこの話を終わらせるのでしょうか
【B】ああ　繰り返すよ ハロウィンが来る度
【A】さあ　悪夢のようなこの夜はいかがでしょうか
【B】もう　お別れして何もかも捨てたら

【A+B】ねえ　こんな暗い道をどこまでも行きましょうね
ああ　かぼちゃ頭 もう要らないや　捨てちゃえ
さあ　歌い踊りましょう 憂いもお飾りにして
ねえ　次は誰がドア叩く？
Trick or Treat！

A Girl and a Black Cat on Halloween Night
A = IA
B = GUMI

【A】The black cat who brings with it
The monsters that I feared as a child
Invited me for some pranking
On the long awaited long night

【B】Well, well   Welcome   Come and join us
Hide your face with a pumpkin head
Protect yourself as you please
But do not turn back

【A】Aa　Am I shaking? How child-like.
【B】Come on,　move forward.
【A】There's no turning back now
【A+B】Having stepped into the night

【A】Say　To where do we follow this dark road
【B】Oh　how trifle　The answer is already clear
【A】So　Let's sing and dance　Make an ornament out of our sorrow
【B】Hey　who's going to knock on the door next?
【A+B】Trick or Treat！

【A】Aa　Now I remember. This scenery.
【B】Come on,　you laugh too!
【A】Yes　running around like that, trying to escape
【B】Hurry up,　you too, follow the group.

【A】Aa　Are you scared? Are you shaking?
【B】Come one, accept it all
【A】There's no turning back now
【A+B】Having stepped into the night

【A】Say　Who's going to put an end to this story?
【B】Aa　It will be repeated every Halloween
【A】So　How do you like this nightmarish night?
【B】Well now　Just say goodbye and throw everything away

【A+B】Hey　Let's follow this dark road to wherever it goes
Aa　This pumpkin head is no longer needed　Let's just throw it away
So　Let's sing and dance　Make an ornament out of your sorrow
Hey　who's going to knock on the door next?
Trick or Treat！


Notes:

• The lyrics and video suggest IA used to be a normal human, but is now one of the Halloween gang. I interpreted her lines as a transformation from being a normal human asking Black Cat Gumi for answers, to a comrade of Gumi's who is talking to other humans.

1. Come and join us / Oide nasai - Oide is usually used for "come on in"
2. Make an ornament out of our sorrow / Ui mo okazari ni shite - A freer translation would be "to put up on display" - I translated more literally here as I have the feeling it is meant the sorrow can be fake, rather than real.
3. Running around like that, trying to escape / Konna fuu ni nigemadotta - This is in past tense; suggesting she did so herself.
