[English]

After the rain, after the rain

The rigid city

After the rain, after the rain

Until morning comes

Improvements, commands

Where is the ideal?

Until I become yours

The end's beginning, the night's beginning

Descend through the days

What's yours is yours alone

What's mine is mine alone

What I've learned can't be stolen

Until it's everyone's

Cromemco-10, I'm on the phone

Half-heartedness is pointless

Throw away life, throw away the future

How pitiful, I want to cling to the past

In the eerie hallway

After the rain, after the rain

The rigid city

After the rain, after the rain

Until morning comes

Improvements, commands

Where is the ideal?

Until I become yours

Until I become yours

One by one, leaving the line

Descended the cliff

To rise as I should, to become

To be what I must be

The warped parts can't be fixed

I'm becoming yours

Chastity maker, common sense advocate

Endless naivety

Discard common sense, discard appearances

Long time no see, I feared without realizing

Being ordinary

After the rain, after the rain

After the rain, after the rain

After the rain, after the rain

The rigid city

After the rain, after the rain

Until morning comes

Improvements, commands

Where is the ideal?

Until I become yours

After the rain, after the rain

Piled-up shields

After the rain, after the rain

Until dawn breaks

Commands, commands

Before shining bright

Until I become yours

Until I become yours

アメノチ アメノチ

凝り固まる街が

アメノチ アメノチ

朝が来るまで

改善を 采配を

理想像はどこに

あなた のモノになるまで

終わりの始まり 夜の始まり

日々を降りて

あなたのモノは あなただけ

私のモノは 私だけ

学んだコトは 奪えない

みんなのモノになるまで

Cromemco-10 電話してんだ

中途半端じゃ意味がない

人生も 将来も 投げ出して

しがないな 過去にしっかり縋りたい

不気味な踊り場で

理想像はどこに

あなたのモノになるまで

あなたのモノになるまで

ひとりふたりと列を離れ

崖を降りた

上がるべきように なるように

なるべきモノで あるように

歪んだトコは 直せない

あなたのモノになっていく

貞淑メーカー 常識論者

世間知らずでキリがない

常識も 外聞も 投げ売って

無沙汰だな 知らず知らず恐れた

普通でいることを

あなたのモノになるまで

あなたのモノになるまで
