[English]

It's okay, it's okay

If you sleep, things will work out

What's wrong? Why the long face?

It's nothing really

...

Waiting in vain for love in front of the station

There's nothing else to do

I want you to teach me the value of dishonesty

Say no more, please forget about love

Tell me everything, even the painful things

If one such dragonfly is good, then it's better to forget

I can't keep listening to pointless things

I don't want to say it

It's okay, no matter how much I throw up

Words are never enough

What's wrong? Do you even understand

This sorrow?

Waiting in vain for love at the door

Panting in whispered voices

I want you to teach me the "regret" in remorse

Heat haze, please forget about today

Just sing about love without sadness

It's better not to say that a single kiss is good in the end

I can't forget even pointless things

I don't want to know

Heat haze, will we forget today someday?

It's painful

If one such hesitation is love, then it's better not to know

Tell me even pointless things, more and more

Say no more, please forget about tomorrow

Tell me everything, even the painful things, over and over

It's okay to be a tasteless dragonfly, I want you so much I could drown

Tell me even pointless things, more and more

I want you to love me

[Japanese]

大丈夫だよ大丈夫

寝てれば何とかなるし

どうしたんだいそんな顔してさぁ

別にどうともないよ

駅前で愛を待ち惚け

他にすることもないし

不誠実の価値も教えてほしいわ

言勿れ　愛など忘れておくんなまし

苦しい事だって何でも教えておくれ

左様な蜻蛉の一つが善いなら忘れた方が増し

詮の無いことばかり聞いてられないわ

言いたくないわ

大丈夫 どれだけ吐いても

言葉は言い足りないし

どうしたんだいあんたにわかるかい

この憂いが

玄関で愛を待ち惚け

囁く声で喘いで

後悔の悔を教えてほしいわ

陽炎や　今日などどうか忘れておくんなまし

悲しい事無しの愛だけ歌っておくれ

終いは口付け一つが善いのも言わない方が増し

詮の無いことでも忘れられないわ

知りたくないわ

陽炎や　今日などいつか忘れてしまうのでしょう？

苦しいの

左様な躊躇いの一つが愛なら知らない方が増し

詮の無いことだって聞かせてもっと

言勿れ　明日など忘れておくんなまし

苦しい事だって何度も教えておくれ

無粋な蜻蛉の一つでいいから、溺れるほどに欲しい

詮の無いことだって聞かせてもっと

愛して欲しいわ
