Lyrics

Japanese

こんなんじゃない 私は言ってる
いつも素顔隠して

『冗談じゃないよ』

こーはいかない恋ン中
そーはネいかない敵ン中
嘆く Ｇｅｎｉｕｓ Ｔｈｅ Ｖｅｉｌ
潜む Ｍｉｓｓｉｏｎ Ｔｈｅ Ｒｏａｄ

追いかけずにいるだけならネ
素顔のあなた分からないよ
追いかけても寂しいなら
Ｔｒｙ Ｍｅ Ｍｙｓｔｅｒｙ，Ｄｒｉｖｅ Ｍｅ Ｍｅｒｃｕｒｙ

こんなんじゃない 希望に賭けてく
もっと今を飛ばして
幼いあこがれなら 奇跡のＲｈａｐｓｏｄｙ

『愛と知性の戦士、セーラーマーキュリー！
水でもかぶって、反省しなさい！』

こんなんじゃない 希望を投げてく
もっと勇気かり立て
奇跡のあこがれなら 知性のＲｈａｐｓｏｄｙ

Ｔｒｙ Ｍｅ Ｍｙｓｔｅｒｙ，Ｄｒｉｖｅ Ｍｅ Ｍｅｒｃｕｒｙ
Ｄｒｉｖｅ Ｍｅ Ｔｈｅ Ｍｅｒｃｕｒｙ

Romanized

Konnan janai watashi wa itteru
Itsumo sugao kakushite

"Joudan janai yo."

Ko wa ikanai koi 'n naka
So wa ne ikanai teki 'n naka
Nageku Genius The Veil
Hisomu Mission The Road

Oikakezu ni iru dake nara ne
Sugao no anata wakara nai yo
Oikakete mo sabishii nara
Try Me Mystery, Drive Me Mercury

Konnan janai kibou ni kaketeku
Motto ima wo tobashite
Osanai akogare nara kiseki no rhapsody

"Ai to chisei no senshi, Seeraa Maakyurii!
Mizude mo kabutte, hansei shinasai!"

Konnan janai kibou wo nageteku
Motto yuuki karitate
Kiseki no akogare nara chisei no rhapsody

Try Me Mystery, Drive Me Mercury
Drive Me The Mercury

English Translation

I'm telling you, it's no trouble
Always hide your true face

"It's no joke."

That doesn't belong in love
That won't go with the enemy
The grieving Genius The Veil
The lurking Mission The Road

If you begin to only chase after things
I won't be able to know your true face
Even if you keep on pursuing, you'll become lonely
Try Me Mystery, Drive Me Mercury

I sure won't bet on hope like this
Right now, skip more
If you have that yearning for childhood there's still the miraculous rhapsody

"Senshi of love and wisdom, Sailor Mercury!
Cool off in cold water and reflect on what you've done!"

I sure won't cast away hope like this
Bring out more courage in yourself
If you are yearning for a miracle there's still the rhapsody of wisdom

Try Me Mystery, Drive Me Mercury
Drive Me The Mercury
