Watashi wa dareka no ousama de wa nai	私は　誰かの王様ではない
Watashi wa dareka no heitai de mo nai	私は　誰かの兵隊でもない

Kudaketa kagami o hariawasete iku you ni	くだけた鏡を　はりあわせていくように
Kowareta sekai o hiroi atsumeteiru no da!	こわれた世界をひろい集めているのだ！

Ware wa korekutaa!	我は　コレクター！
Ware wa korekutaa! Korekutaa!	我は　コレクター！　コレクター！

Watashi wa ashita o tebanashi wa shinai	私は　明日を手放しはしない
Watashi wa kinou o houmuri wa shinai	私は　昨日を葬りはしない

Gosenfu no ue ni naranda onpu no you ni	五線譜の上にならんだ音符のように
Chigireta jikan o narabe naoshiteiru no da	ちぎれた時間を並べなおしているのだ！

Ware wa korekutaa!	我は　コレクター！
Ware wa korekutaa! Korekutaa!	我は　コレクター！　コレクター！

Miru ga ii...shifuku no hikari o	見るがいい…至福の光を
Kiku ga ii...tenjou no shirabe o	聞くがいい…天上の調べを

Watashi wa chijou ni shibarare wa shinai	私は地上に　しばられはしない
Watashi wa sora kara mioroshi wa shinai	私は空から　見下ろしはしない
Purizumu no naka ni tojikometa yume o	プリズムの中に閉じ込めた夢を
Dakishimeteitai...	抱きしめていたい…
Sore ga watashi no...korekushon!	それがわたしの…コレクション！

Translation

The goal of the following translation is to present the meaning of the song in a competent, coherent way. It is not meant to be an English version of the song that can be sung along with the melody.

I am not anyone's king.
But I am not anyone's soldier, either.

I will pick up the pieces of this broken world and gather them together
Like a cracked mirror that's been put back together

I am a Collector!
I am a Collector! Collector!

I will not let go of the future
I will not bury the past

I will rearrange the broken memories
Like the notes lined up at the top of the music scale

I am a Collector!
I am a Collector! Collector!

You may look at the glorious light
You may listen to the melody of the heavens

I will not be bound by the earth
I will not look down on you from up above
I wanted to hold
The dreams that have been kept safe in a prism
That is my...collection!
