ラストファラオ ／じょるじん
Lyrics and music by Joruzin Video by Uno The Last Pharaoh “Is a tall, pointed nose really so beautiful?” Who could fathom the will of a girl bearing three thousand years of history on her shoulders? A vast, world-class library An extraordinary girl who spoke ten languages by the age of ten She cared nothing for the blood that bound her Flaxen hair, golden skin, blue-green eyes Her words sang like a harp, sweet as honey “But some nights, I want to run away” “You know?” “The ministers care only for seizing this country” “They’re trying to get rid of me” “My foolish brother, blind to their lies, sent the army to capture me” “I fled the royal palace and barely escaped to a neighboring land” “Oh, how miserable I am now” Still, she grits her teeth for the Kingdom of the Golden Nile Determined, she won’t let the three-thousand-year reign end with her The palace is ruled by her foolish younger brother’s ministers There is only one way to win it back To win over Caesar, the ruler of Rome’s empire, and claim him as her ally She had but one night, one chance—slipping beneath the veil of tribute A grand performance Seducing him with her sheer beauty and courage To fail means to die “Whore” “Prostitute” “Seductress” “Slut” She endured many words of abuse If she can protect the land with just her own body, it’s a small price to pay “But I’ve never seduced anyone” “You know?” “The royal daughter is destined to wed the one chosen for her” “I have never made promises to any man” “But the man I face rules the world” “He’s a man who’s known many women” “How much of my charm will sway him?” “I just want to run away right now” Still, she grits her teeth for the people of the Golden Nile She conceived a child—the seed of eternal immortality for Rome and Egypt” Losing Caesar meant losing the Roman armor that protected her No time to grieve—she must protect her children and her land “You’re next” A Roman legion commander grew obsessed with her and fell to corruption Citizens rebelled The young heir of Caesar rose to stand He declared war on the ‘Love-struck General’ and the ‘Whore of the Nile’ “Bring it on!” the Queen declared, leading her army forth “But that’s not what I truly want… the real me is…” “I don’t want war” “You know?” “The Pharaoh does not kill ” “The Pharaoh must rise up to protect her people” “The only reason I choose this war is to protect my people” “For the beautiful Nile, golden Egypt, and my beloved child” The two armies met face to face on the Greek coast The Roman navy was very powerful The queen was defeated and fled to her homeland, barricading herself within the royal palace Caesar’s young successor pursued the queen and seized the capital The queen was taken prisoner, her life spared, but captured alive to be put on display She was to live in a cage the rest of her life “I can’t be humiliated any further” “I have some final preparations to make” “Please wait a moment” Cleopatra took her own life on August 12, 30 BC With its ruler gone, Egypt fell to become a Roman province Thus ended the three-thousand-year saga of the Egyptian dynasty
「彼女の鼻の高さがもう少し低ければ世界の歴史は変わっていた」
溢れる美貌を振りまき、時の為政者を次々と惑わし、世界を意のままに動かした魔性の女。
後世の人々が持つ彼女の人物像・イメージである。
だが本当にそうだったのだろうか？
齢18で超大国エジプト王朝14代女王として戴冠。
列強国が割拠する古代の地中海世界で彼女はただひたすらに祖国存亡のため奔走し我が身を削り、民に尽くし王国に忠誠を誓った。
真実のクレオパトラとは
あまりにも美しく
あまりにも気高く
あまりにも儚い
39年という短い生涯をエジプト王国のために駆け抜けた最後の女王「ラストファラオ」、その等身大の姿を描きました。
