Background
This song was part of the EXIT TUNES compilation album Vocalostar.
"Cantarella" is about an obsessive and intoxicating romance: a man (KAITO) who tries to keep his love for a girl (Miku) hidden and approach the girl in order to make her his. Taking time by the forelock, he gets closer to her, and he finally reveals himself.
KAITO and Miku personify Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, known for their suggested incestuous relationship and use of poison even though KAITO and Miku are not related.
This song has entered the Hall of Legend.

Lyrics
Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
---|---|
見つめ合う。 | mitsu me au. |
その視線。 | sono shisen. |
閉じた世界の中。 | tojita sekai no naka. |
気づかないふりをしても酔いを悟られそう。 | kizukanai furi wo shite mo yoi o satora resou. |
焼け付くこの心隠して近づいて。 | yaketsuku kono kokoro kakushite chikazuite. |
吐息感じれば痺れるほど。 | toiki kanjireba shibireru hodo. |
ありふれた恋心に今罠を仕掛けて。 | arifureta koigokoro ni ima wana o shikakete. |
僅かな隙間にも足跡残さないよ。 | wazuka na sukima ni mo ashiato nokosanaiyo. |
見え透いた言葉だと君は油断してる。 | miesuita kotoba dato kimi wa yudan shiteru. |
良く知った劇薬なら飲み干せる気がした。 | yoku shitta gekiyaku nara nomihoseru ki ga shita. |
錆びつく鎖から逃れるあても無い。 | sabitsuku kusari kara nogareru ate mo nai. |
響く秒針に抗うほど。 | hibiku byoushin ni aragau hodo. |
たとえば深い茂みの中滑り込ませて。 | tatoeba fukai shigemi no naka suberi komasete. |
繋いだ汗の香りにただ侵されそう。 | tsunaida ase no kaori ni tada okasaresou. |
ありふれた恋心に今罠を仕掛ける。 | arifureta koigokoro ni ima wana o shikakeru. |
僅かな隙間覗けば。 | wazuka na sukima nozokeba. |
捕まえて。 | tsukamaete. |
たとえば深い茂みの中滑り込ませて。 | tatoeba fukai shigemi no naka suberi komasete. |
繋いだ汗の香りにただ侵されてる。 | tsunaida ase no kaori ni tada okasareteru. |
Written by an unknown artist, this version of the lyrics was used in the English version of Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA- F 2nd.
Our gazes meet,
Inside this closed-off world
You may pretend not to notice but we're drunk on love
This burning heart, I hide it as I draw closer
To feel your sigh would enrapture me
Set a trap now in your ordinary love
Leaving no footprints around the cracks in your defenses
You thought you could see through my words but you got careless
You thought you could drink this powerful potion you knew so well
There's no point running from rusted chains
The more you fight the ticking hand of time
If we slipped into a deep thicket
The scent of our binding sweat would surely overwhelm us
Set a trap now in your ordinary love
If I find the smallest crack,
I'll catch you
If we slipped into a deep thicket
The scent of our binding sweat would surely overwhelm us
