[English]

Grant me one wish with those thorns

Now, scar this sweet, shallow sleep of mine

With that enchanting pain that exceeds expectations

Surely, the morning will be much clearer than now

Na na na na na

♪

No need for rebuttals

You wishing for it is your defeat

It's the beginning of a long journey of sleep

In other words, that's it

At the end of life

Your trembling is your defeat

It's already sprouting within you

You know that, right?

Born from your sleep

Even the monsters spit out sharp hopes

Grant me one wish with those thorns

Now, scar this sweet, shallow sleep of mine

With that enchanting pain that exceeds expectations

Surely, the morning will be much clearer than now

Na na na na na

♪

No need for humility

It's for you who wished for it

It's too late to call it arrogance

In other words, that's it

Beyond what you can't see

Your trembling is your defeat

It's a carefree warrior's tremor

So, listen up

Your sleep talk

Surely has the power to injure

So, open your eyes

By the time you wake up

Surely, the wounds will have healed

Are you ready?

Grant me one wish with those thorns

Now, scar this sweet, shallow sleep of mine

Now, the enchanting pain piercing through the future

Surely, will illuminate the morning much more than now

♪

That's right, I know

In your pain

There must have been unbearable hardships

But, open your eyes

Morning is coming soon

It's already filled with opportunities

I'm ready

Grant me one wish with those thorns

Now, scar this sweet, shallow sleep of mine

Now, the enchanting pain piercing through the future

Surely, will illuminate the morning much more than now

Oh, yeah!
