[English]

The repelling creation

wears a black number bib

and runs, runs, BAD

The optimistic regret

pretends not to see it

and runs away, runs away, BAD

I prefer zero-gram sorrow, but

I haven't given up on this world yet

Simply! The meaning of life

Simply! Can be anything

Simply! As much as the lies

Simply! Just love yourself and you'll be alright

The devoted sun

made a phony smile

Don't cry, don't cry, BAD

An emotional sensation

calls out my name

Shout, shout, GOOD

Destiny comes suddenly; so dizzying

Even if the queezy morning doesn't love me

Simply! The meaning of your tears

Simply! It's okay to be miserable

Simply! As much as your scars

Simply! Just love someone and you'll be alright

Simply! I want to thank you

Simply! I want to see you

Simply! I love you

Simply! Let my words reach the world and you!

Simply! Be HAPPY!!!!
