Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If

If there were a world just for me, then

I wouldn't have to hold grudges against anyone

I could have gotten away without knowing, but somehow

No matter what

I can't forgive you

The night just seems endless

People can't be completely abandoned

It's unsightly

Even now, at this point

My heart stirs in the morning sun

If I were to hug you

It would be the end

Hate the innocence of my trust

The days I loved you mean everything

Precious, beloved, painful, miserable

If

Back then, in a blanket bathed in sunlight

You, earnest, wrapped in it

If you could stay just as you are

How much

How much better it could have been

I have no way of knowing now

Ah, picking flowers again

We clasp our hands

I'm heading your way soon

Even if maggots crawl in my heart

It still has a scent

The warmth of that day

I love it in a ugly way

What should I do?

Just, if it comes to that, already

Part of a hideous contamination

Then, what should I do?

Should I just forget it all?

Yes, let's go home and kiss

What should I do?

What should I do?

My body rotting away

Please adorn me

Just don't forget about me

If I were to hug you

It would be the end

Hate the innocence of my trust

The days I loved you mean everything

Precious, beloved, painful, miserable

Ah, picking flowers again

We clasp our hands

I'm heading your way soon

Even if maggots crawl in my heart

It still has a scent

The warmth of that day

I love it in a ugly way

Ah, with the laughter of an angel

I am still kept alive today

Soon, it will come to this side

To the you who remains as you were then

Even if we could meet again

This time, I'll properly hold your hand

[Japanese]

もしも

僕だけの世界ならば そう

誰かを恨むことなんて

知らないで済んだのに どうしても

どうしても

貴方の事が許せない

夜は ただ永い

人は 捨てきれない

見苦しいね

この期に及んで尚

朝日に心動いている

抱きしめてしまったら

もう最期

信じてしまった私の白さを憎むの

あなたを好きでいたあの日々が何よりも

大切で愛しくて痛くて惨め

もしも

あの頃、お日様を浴びた布団に

包まる健気な君が

そのままで居てくれれば

どれほど

どれほど良かったのか

もう知る由もない

あぁ またお花を摘んで

手と手を合わせて

もうすぐ其方に往くからね

心に蛆が湧いても

まだ香りはしている

あの日の温もりを

醜く愛してる

どうすればいい？

ただ、ともすれば もう

醜悪な汚染の一部

なら、どうすればいい？

いっそ忘れちゃえばいい？

そうだ 家に帰ってキスしよう

どうすればいい？を

どうすればいい？

腐ってしまうこの身を

飾ってください

私のことだけは忘れないで

抱きしめてしまったら

もう最期

信じてしまった私の白さを憎むの

あなたを好きでいたあの日々が何よりも

大切で愛しくて痛くて惨め

あぁ またお花を摘んで

手と手を合わせて

もうすぐ其方に往くからね

心に蛆が湧いても

まだ香りはしている

あの日の温もりを

醜く愛してる

あぁ 天使の笑い声で

今日も生かされている

もうすぐ此方に来る頃ね

あの頃のままの君に

また出会えたとして

今度はちゃんと手を握るからね
