Lyrics & Translation

[English] If only
it were a world just for me, yes
I wouldn't have to know
about hating someone, but no matter what
no matter what
I can't forgive you
The night is just long
People can't be discarded
It's unsightly
Even at this point
My heart is moved by the morning sun
If I embrace you
it will be the end
I hate the innocence I believed in
Those days when I loved you were the most
precious, dear, painful, and miserable
If only
back then, you wrapped in the sunlit futon
could just stay as you are
how wonderful
how wonderful it would have been
I can never know now
Ah, I’ll pick flowers again
and put my hands together
I’ll be there soon
Even if maggots rise in my heart
it still has a scent
of that day’s warmth
I love you ugly
What should I do?
Just, if I could, already
become a part of this ugly pollution
Then, what should I do?
Should I just forget it all?
That's right, let's go home and kiss
What should I do?
What should I do?
This rotting body
please decorate it
Just don’t forget about me
If I embrace you
it will be the end
I hate the innocence I believed in
Those days when I loved you were the most
precious, dear, painful, and miserable
Ah, I’ll pick flowers again
and put my hands together
I’ll be there soon
Even if maggots rise in my heart
it still has a scent
of that day’s warmth
I love you ugly
Ah, with the angel's laughter
I’m alive today too
It will be around the time you come here soon
If I could meet you as you were back then
this time I’ll hold your hand properly
so don’t worry
I’ll hold your hand properly
