Doukeshi

Trowa's first image song is track three from the New Mobile Suit Report Gundam W: OPERATION 2 and is titled "Doukeshi", or "Clown" using the connotations of a kidder or jokester. It is a rather sad ballad and is perhaps Trowa's second best Character Song.

風になりたい

冷たく

凍りついた月のかけらが
降りそそぐように
一人の夜が落ちてくる

涙と
笑顔の仮面に隠された
本当の心はいつしか
どこかに置き去りで

ライトの中で演じてる
失くしてたはずの喜びを
忘れたはずの哀しみを
孤独を演じ続けてる

たとえば夢に疲れても
裏切られた愛でも
心は空白のままで
思い出さえも残さず
見つめるだけの道化師…

もうすぐ
ライトを浴びて歩いて行く
偽りを抱いて
今夜もカーテンは上がる

涙と
笑顔の影に佇んでる
本当の心は自分を
塗り潰してるだけ

永い時間を演じてる
とっくに捨てた喜びを
閉じ込めてきた哀しみを
作った微笑みにのせて

小さな瞳が輝く
子供達の歓声
作り物を信じられる
素直な心の前に
仮面は崩れて落ちる

愛される事に不慣れで
愛し方も知らない
たった一度の輝きで
心に何か溢れる
涙を知った道化師…

涙を知った道化師…

Clown

Cold

A piece of the frozen moon
The night falls alone
Like it's pouring down

Hidden behind a mask
Of tears and smiles
My true heart was left somewhere

Performing in the light
The joy that should have been lost
The sorrow that should have been forgotten
Continues to play in loneliness

For example, even if I'm tired of my dreams,
Even if my love is betrayed
My heart is blank
And I don't even have memories
A clown who just stares...

I'll soon bathe in
The light and walk
Embracing lies,
The curtain rises again tonight

Standing in the shadow
Of tears and smiles
My true heart is just painting over myself

Playing for a long time,
The joy I threw away long ago
Putting the sadness that I've been confined in
In the smile that made it

The cheers of children
With shining small eyes
In front of an honest heart
That believes in artificial things
The mask crumbles and falls

Unaccustomed to being loved
And don't know how to love
With just one sparkle,
Something overflows in my heart
A clown who knows tears...

A clown who knows tears...
