This is by no means meant to provide a direct translation. I did not do majority of the English translation of the song, I just revised lyrics from a previous English translation, which can be found here, much credit and thanks to the original translator: deathnotemusicalsongs.tumblr....
I revised the lyrics in my own interpretation so people could sing along in English easier, also to make some parts more interesting when some of the translated lyrics got repetitive in wording, or when I had reason to believe the translation to be inaccurate.
I couldn't find the original performance with the Japanese version of the song plus subs, so I just compiled the elements I found online together so people could enjoy the performance in all its (mostly) original awesomeness.

[RYUK]
Look at them
In the dirt
On the ground the cling and crawl
[REM]
Here in an endless blight
They dream to fight
The fate that calls
[RYUK]
Really makes you laugh
[REM]
Its nothing but a shame
[RYUK]
What pitiful beings they are
[REM]
Nothing but slaves to their endless appetites
Living without ever being fulfilled
[RYUK]
Things like
Effort and perseverance
Rewardless
[REM]
But even so
They toil in their stuggle believing that something will come
[RYUK]
Ha!
While we're here dying of boredom!
[BOTH]
After all, with those eyes
They can't see their reality
Captured in, but a dream
[RYUK]
And all that they seek
[REM]
Is to hold onto love
[BOTH]
As they dance
[RYUK]
It's a comedy
[REM]
It's a tragedy
[RYUK]
Loving to continue the struggle
[REM]
Why do they get tripped up by things like love?
[RYUK]
Because they're idiots, that's all there is!
[BOTH]
After all, beings like humans
Between their fingers, scooping the sands
Slipping through frail hands
[RYUK]
And they continue to mourn
[REM]
A salvation that they've never known
[RYUK]
Just prayers,
Curses,
Living,
Dying
Being fooled by their own little dreams
[REM]
Eat, sleep, love then hate
Stuck in shoes that won't come off
[RYUK]
Cursed to continue their dance
[BOTH]
In the end,
Their lives
Are to be
[RYUK]
In the palms of Shinigami
[BOTH]
A pitiful existence
[REM]
I couldn't bare to see
[RYUK]
What a bore it would be
[REM]
For it all just ends in pathetic tragedy
[RYUK]
Let's have some fun with them, shall we?
Thanks for sharing! It’s a big help!
Wait that's rem? I always thought rem is male
@@darbythegamer5152 I think they are genderless
@@saeko0077 shinigami have genders, theres just no physical markers of that + they arent allowed to enter into relationships.
@@septicaemia5699 welp now i feel stupide
LMAO
English version:
" - Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share?
- I really don't know and don't care"
Japanese version:
"- Why do they get tripped up by things like love?
- BECAUSE THEY'RE IDIOTS, THAT'S ALL THERE IS!"
Honestly it's a mood
*laughs in shinigami*
gods and they say Russians and Germans are brutally blunt😂🤣
Alina_Hermione LOL
Averon god of Fire hahaha got me there
I love how Ryuk sees this as a comedy because he is bored, after all. Whereas Rem sees this as a tragedy, because she’s seen Galus die for Misa because of how infatuated he was with her.
That’s what make these two such a strange duo. Ryuk just sees us humans, not knowing everything is pointless in the grand scheme of things, thinking we have a great destiny. REM just pities it. Just watching ants thinking we have a great site, yet we are so simple.
*laughs in shinigami*
Duolingo: "Gooood.."
Saw this at 665 likes, knew my mission
Hohehohahe I do that
Like 998
*...but ends up crying in mortal and fool*
Honestly, still not exactly sure how I ended up here from a Good Omens animatic.
Same
Same.
That's how I ended up here but I've heard of it before
Same😅
Shhh, nobody does.
Ryuk: It's a comedy!
Rem: It's a tragedy!
Joker: You wouldn't get it...
Videos need to be made!
It’s a comedic tragedy is what it is
Lol
@@m4clematis or a Tragic Comedy~?
@@coconuttydragoon3445 or is it both?
I am forever obsessed with the girl who plays Rem
Same.
Aren't we all
I love her voice
Same
Shes literally so pretty
This feels very strange to me after listening to the English version a hundred times
I personally think that this one has better lyrics even if i love the english version
@@THRONECIRCLE same here
Same
Yep
same
I love how Rem's singer gets her character on point just with her voice. I think others make her too lively, completely different from her character in the anime.
I agree
I agree, her voice is incredible, but her lethargic movements (compared to ryuk anyway) and grim facial expressions really sell Rems personality imo
Rem looks so pretty in this :O
She does!
I always thought she was pretty 😅
anything named Rem is pretty
@@Yukooo333 hi, I pick emilia over rem.
@@sweheartss i pick both, both are sweet and cute in their own way 😊
Im here from the Good Omens of speremint animatic and looks like I'm in a new musical hole again... and here I thought I escaped it... damn...
That animatic was good
Anime n Musicals Good? It was fantastic!
Same :(
Same
The mood is deep man xD
It would be amazing if they waltzed together. The beat is perfect
ughhhhhhh this makes me really wish they did
That's what I thought
I always saw it as a waltz
YESS SOMEONE ANIMATE THIS OR I WILL
I always imagined that Ryuk kind of secretly cared about Rem even though she wasn't into him and that was part of his motivation for throwing Light under the bus at the very end.
EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE
*Laughing in Shinigami*
Vs.
*Laughing in Japanese*
You gotta make a deal for shinigami ears to hear it.
One is human and the other is godly
The Japanese is in a slightly lower key. I could actually sing it, wow. #AltoProblems
karina Ross me too tho
@@Caffeinated_Bard Thank the gods, I'm not the only one.
yessss
*nods understandingly*
I could sing anything, just octave shifted to fit a bass voice
Rem looks like a beautiful mourning spirit while Ryuk is a chaotic soul. I love the song, costumes, just everything!
This song is beautiful in both English and Japanese.
I agree
I heard somewhere that life is either a comedy or tragedy depending on your point of view. This gives off those vibes
Rem and Ryuk are the 2 sides of the same coin.
@@nexenojustice552 y'know what that reminds me of? The tragedy and comedy masks. Y'know what I'm talking about?
@@danalynch118 The ones used to display theaters?
@@nexenojustice552 yes!
@@danalynch118 We are the actors of a great show to them really, we could be causing a great drama through war, or we could fools stumbling in life to make anyone laugh. Pity and humor can be seen. Ryuk belittles humans as we cannot see past our lives are just roles of a grand stage.
*l a u g h i n g i n s h i n i g a m i*
Lol
Instead of commenting on Rem, I feel the need to mention that the guy playing ryuus hair is fucking legendary.
Like holy shit. That hair.
I LOVE REM’S PART WHEN THE KEY CHANGES WHEN SHE SINGS SING MITERARE NAI
Me too I also loved it when she said yume mite agaki
I love how much their opposite personalities mix so well in this song.
Me: why are the lyrics different? *Hits blunt* oh yeah, they gotta keep the rhyme scheme
I like how they are basically saying the same thing, just have different thoughts about it.
I can't decide which version I like better. In both Rukk (because Idk how to spell his name) is delightfully cynical. While the other (who's name I can't remember) in o e version is pretty hopeful while in the other is rather despairing. Both are good looks
Ryuk and Rem
The Korean one is pretty good.
Not really hopeful, she think humanity is a tragedy and say Ryuk should not be too hard with them because they're only human...
I honestly like the English version of this better because it feels more like a joke to Ryuk. He makes jokes and plays on words and he seems more teasing. You get the feeling that he really doesn't take this seriously. Here he's just kind of laughing a lot. Although I do like the line 'let's have some fun with them'
Same here I prefer the English version
yeah like the line 'i really don't know and don't care' fits ryuk much better than 'because they're idiots, that's all it is' cause he found humans so interesting and complex, i don't think canon ryuk would ever say we're 'just idiots'
Idk the Japanese doesn’t fit the music, English fits the rhyming better. Idk how to explain it.
@@TheAnimeViber It was written in English first, that's why the English lyrics fit best. It was an American Broadway project first, but made it to Japanese and Korean stages before it hit Broadway in America.
i like rem in the japanese version, but ryuk in the english version is way accurate! ( that doesn't mean that this ryuk is bad tho :D i like that they implemented 'shinigami' into the lyrics! )
Rem's voice of my gosh! It's so good!
Ikr
It brings out such a different mood than the English one in such a beautiful way
0:31 *laughing in shinigami* 😂
Rem's makeup is beautiful and their voices are splendid together. I love the character of Ryuk here as well.
Ryuk: its a comedy! 😂
Rem: Its a tragedy! 😔
Me: 🧐 what are you two upto now
Am I watching this in Japanese?
Yes.
Should I be studying my Japanese homework instead of watching this and hoping I absorb information?
Nah.
It counts as studing
OH GOD LITERALLY SAME
Rem is so beautiful.
this is a bop no matter how you listen to it- also the english version talks about general human morals while this one says they don't "see with their eyes the reality" a hint to the shinigami eyes which is really cool in my opinion
I love how half of us are from good omens animatic
can we just appreciate the english and japanese rems? they’re so good!!!
Damn! rem's voice is a masterpiece
Not only rem's, ryuk's voice is so amazing to
I'm here just because Thomas Sanders and Joan with Valerie
Same
Oh, this is so much more in this presentation. Thank you for your efforts.
Oh! Really, thank you. I am actually really happy to hear directly that you could appreciate and enjoy the performance the same as I did. Makes it all worth it!
Also, your username makes it all worth it as well.
I love Rem’s voice in this OH MY GOD!
You can tell Ryuk's actor was having fun 😂
I love Rems face at the end like 'why do you have that pulled out? Why are you like this?'
Her voice is so haunting I love it
I actually prefer the lyrics in this version. Poetic.
First when i saw the good omens animatic, i got interested in that and I downloaded the whole show, love it.
Then I wondered about the song, realized it's the death note musical, went and watched all the episodes of death note, realized song was not from the show but the musical, searched and watched the musical, loved it, entered the world of musical theater and now im studying japanese
tf
Parkour
His rough voice really makes hers shine brighter. What an enchanting singing voice.
The actress for rem is amazing what a queen her voice😘👌
They made him so sassy lol
dudeee this version sounds SICK
Found this song from a Lore Olympus animatic, found out Death Note has a musical from the Good Omens animatic.... the lyrics already reminded me of death note and so I’m very happy
I love how the Deathnote was titled in English, sense the actual one was. That's some attention to detail right there
Honestly, the English version just flows better but the lyrics here are beautiful
Thomas Sanders; what have you condemned time to...
IGuessI'mNotAlone-
I like that REM sounds more depressed here, and that Ryuk doesn't sound like Numbah 2 from Codename KND
Rem looks so cool in this omg omg omg
Man i love your tumblr! Thank you! That is such a blessing to have available to the DN fandom u have no idea! A gold strawberry for you!
this is suprisingly good
Thanks for putting this together! The only full version of the musical I could find has the English songs and not the ones in the show, so I'm always glad to find another one of these.
I LOVE DEATHNOTE!!!!!!! This would be amazing to see... if I only knew Japanese.
these actors are amazing and their voices are just SO GOOD. i love this and the english version so much
Just discovered this, legendary!
To me, the vibes are so similar, yet so different than the English version. The lyrics to this one seem more sinister and melancholy, while the English version's lyrics give more of a vibe of toying or playing around with the concepts of little lives that don't matter too much. The Japanese version seems gives more of an angry disappointed parent type tone, or a tone of an evil mastermind wanting to take over the world, while the English version gives more of a bored godly tone, or a power trip vibe, if that makes sense! Even though both could be considered the same
I’m here from the Good Omens animatic and I’m now obsessed with this song.
1:17
just a reply button for me
I guess it I ironic that we became enough self aware to realize we are pitiful beings and at the end love, hate, effort does not really matter
Rem is very cute
Love it!
Those costumes look awesome!
the japanese version is so hauntingly beautiful while the english version is more blunt (still pretty but a lot more blunt.)
Rem's actress UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.
Really cool!
Totally in love with Ryuks voice here.
Everyone seems to be here from good omens, but I was actually just listening to show tunes! 😂
"they're idiots,that's all there is". jesus,ryuk tell us how you really feel.XD
I am in love with this iteration of Rem.
I can't get over the fact of how PRETTY Rem's voice is
Me encanta , Muchas gracias por otorgarnos tu video !!!
I like it. Thank you very much
Ah, Gracias! I am embarrassed to say that's the only Spanish I know for now.
I am happy that you took the time to comment and watch the video, thank you too. Glad to know you like this song as much as I do.
@@amykwong9726 I'm glad you had the time to answer my comment, I feel flattered; I really love the video you uploaded, wait for your next video.😀😄
Everyone: Good Omens
Me and probably a good knowing: *laughs in Thomas Sanders*
I'm... just a fan of Death Note who also likes musicals....
Rem is absolutely beautiful like really amazing
Idk how I got here, but I'm loving this-
God, why this is so good, I will never know
No one:
Ryuk: *laughing in shinigami*
Nice , very nice .
god, their voices are so pretty omg
I'm obsessed with the drastic difference from Rem's canon design in the Manga and anime and musical Rem. Musical rem looks so elegant / like a classic depiction of a goddess but drawn Rem looks more like Ryuk 💀💀 not that I'm mad I love musical Rem's design I do like that it's different from Ryuk's since Shinigami's don't all look the same
I love it❤🖤
The lady playing Rem, Megumi Hamada? looks absolutely stunning in that costume and makeup
Imagine if they did a Waltz during the song, I mean I always got the feeling he had a thing for REM that was pretty one sided
Lets be honest a world in which everything is fleeting and nothing lasts doesnt sound half as bad as a world in which nothing ever happens.
0:30 *laughing in shinigami*
I can’t believe there is actually a musical for deathnote. And I’m just now hearing about it
I prefer this over the English, this version is just funnier and more emotional.
Me too
can we talk abt how pretty rem is
its very interesting to compare the translation of the OG japannesse lyrics with the english version of the lyrics, well its clear that the timing wouldn't work with a straight translation they did get what feels like a lot of the same emotions out of it and so it must of been alot of good work from the song writer who did it
I can't remember the number of times I've watched this...
0:31 *laughs in shinigami*
Hmmmmm I finally seem to have some competition after all these years.
English ver
[Ryuk]
Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants
[Rem]
Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance
[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a laugh?
[Rem]
Isn’t it a shame?
[Ryuk]
Thinking there is someone in Heaven to blame
[Rem]
Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need
[Ryuk]
Living every day ‘til the day they die
Never getting answers
[Rem]
Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward
[Ryuk]
While we stay eternally bored!
[Both]
They’re only human
They don’t see
Who they are is who they’ll always be
Only human, after all
[Ryuk]
So they push and they shove
[Rem]
With this thing they call love
[Both]
‘Til they fall!
[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a farce?
[Rem]
Isn’t it a waste?
[Ryuk]
Struggling to face what can never be faced
[Rem]
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share
[Ryuk]
I really don’t know and don’t care
[Both]
They’re only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all
[Ryuk]
So they give and they take
[Rem]
Hoping someone will help break their fall
[Ryuk]
They will pray, curse, live, die
Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie
[Rem]
Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind
[Ryuk]
Watch them all vacillate!
[Both]
They’re only human
They can’t see
[Ryuk]
All the years they could give you and me
[Both]
Only human, after all
[Rem]
So they give and we take
[Ryuk]
‘Til their silly hearts break
[Rem]
Looking down from above
I’m intrigued by their love
[Ryuk]
So let’s call!
Hmmm, let’s call!
Nice
i am in love with rem now
