In this article, on Translating Songs, we will study Hatsune Miku's Vocaloid, The game of life. However, I should warn you that this song speaks of a “God” who manipulates people and loves to see their suffering. So, if you have no problems with that, you can continue reading;)
Well, here's the song on YouTube (it's subtitled in English):

1 回目の人生は退屈で
2 回目の人生はやりたい放題
3 回目の人生は毒男
4 回目の人生は盲目のピアニスト
5 回目の人生はフェミニスト
6 回目の人生は汚職にまみれ
7 回目の人生は喪女
8 回目の人生は大富豪です
気まぐれな神様のゲーム
人の一生なんて
敷かれたレールをぐりぐり進んでく
人生ゲームは僕らを縛る
見えない糸で操られる
神様はそれを眺めながら
サイコロ転がすの
9 回目の人生は漫画家で
10 回目の人生はロリ○ ● 教師
11 回目の人生は
目も当てられないような凄惨なもの
今日もまたサイコロが振られて
1 日は決まる
毎日同じことの繰り返しで
飽きたらぽいされる人生ゲーム
全ては神様のきまぐれさ
そんなことも知らずに運命なんて
笑える話だね
幸も不幸も1/6で
決められた選択
次のマスは何が待っているの
人生ゲームは僕らを縛る
見えない糸で操られる
神様はそれを眺めながら
サイコロ転がすの
ニヤニヤしながら賽を振り
イカサマ,ズルも平気でする
人はそれを神と崇める
嗚呼なんて滑稽なの
嗚呼なんて滑稽なの

Ikkaime no jinsei wa taikutsu de
Nikaime no jinsei wa yaritai houdai
Sankaime no jinsei wa dokuo
Yonkaime no jinsei wa moumoku no pianisuto
Ikaime no jinsei wa feminisuto
Rokaime no jinsei wa oshoku ni mamire
Nanakaime no jinsei wa mojo
Hachikaime no jinsei wa daifugou desu
Kimagure na kami-sama no geemu
Hito no isshou nante
Shikareta reeru o guri guri susundeku
Jinsei geemu wa bokura o shibaru
Mienai ito de ayatsurareru
Kami-sama wa sore o nagame nagara
Saikoro korogasu no
Kyuukaime no jinsei wa mangaka de
Jyuukaime no jinsei wa rori kyoushi
Jyuuichikaime no jinsei wa
Me mo aterarenai you na seisan na mono
Kyou mo mata saikoro ga furarete
Ichinichi wa kimaru
Mainichi onaji koto no kurikaeshi de
Akitara poisareru jinsei geemu
Subete wa kami-sama no kimagure sa
Sonna koto mo shirazu ni unmei nante
Waraeru hanashi da ne
Kou mo fukou mo roku no ichi de
Kimerareta sentaku
Tsugi no masu wa nani ga matteiru no
Jinsei geemu wa bokura o shibaru
Mienai ito de ayatsurareru
Kami-sama wa sore o nagame nagara
Saikoro korogasu no
Niya niya shinagara sai o furi
Ikasama, zuru mo heiki de suru
Hito wa sore o kami to agameru
Aa nante kokkei na no
Aa nante kokkei na no
Translation of the song

My first life was boring,
In my second life I could do whatever I wanted,
In my third life I was a terrible man,
In my fourth life I was a blind pianist.
In my fifth life I was a feminist,
My sixth life was covered by corruption,
In my seventh life I was a grieving woman,
My eighth life was that of a millionaire.
The game of God is so whimsical.
While humans wonder why,
Everyone disappears little by little.
Life is a mandatory game made by God,
manipulating us with invisible threads,
While God is watching
The dice are rolling...
My ninth life was as a mangaká,
My tenth life was as a pedo**le teacher
And my eleventh life was...
Something too horrible to talk about.
The data keeps being rejected...
One by one
Like any day, this day repeats again.
The game of life is so boring,
Everyone is below the law of God,
And this is how destiny is built
This is pure comedy!
Happiness and sadness are like 1/6...
Of probability
I don't know what the next number will be.
Life is a mandatory game made by God,
manipulating us with invisible threads,
While God is watching,
The dice are rolling...
While some suffer, others smile,
The trap and the deceit do not matter to me,
And those who worship God,
Ah, they are so pathetic...
Ah, they are so pathetic...
Now, let's study some phrases of the song:
