English Translation

Beautiful World

It's only love

If I can be granted just one wish,
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place is fine.
Beautiful world
Without regrets, my eyes are only on you.
Beautiful boy
You don't know yet, just how beautiful you are.

It's only love

Whether you're sleeping or awake,
You just dream of shounen manga. Don't you like yours?

You don't know what you want, but you can't stop wanting.
Lukewarm tears roll down your cheeks.

I have nothing I want to tell you,
I just want to meet you again.
I can't say what I want to tell you,
Maybe I'm just a coward.
But that's alright too.

If I can be granted just one wish,
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place is fine.
Beautiful world
Without regrets, my eyes are only on you.
Beautiful boy
You don't know yet, just how beautiful you are.

It's only love

No matter what it is, give everything a try.
Even if you get hurt, it's a valuable experience.

I don't need newpapers.
The important things are not printed there.
How are you doing recently?
If you are fine,
Then that's good I guess.

If I can't meet you before my world ends,
Please let me sleep next to you. Any place will do.
Beautiful world
As these fleeting days pass by,
Beautiful boy
It's natural to feel whimsical.

If I can be granted just one wish,
Please let me sleep next to you.

Original Japanese Lyrics

Beatiful World

It's only love

もしも願い一つだけ叶うなら
君の側で眠らせて　どんな場所でもいいよ
Beautiful world
迷わず君だけを見つめている
Beautiful boy
自分の美しさ　まだ知らないの

It's only love

寝ても覚めても少年マンガ
夢見てばっか　自分が好きじゃないの

何が欲しいか分からなくて
ただ欲しがって　ぬるい涙が頬を伝う

言いたいことなんか無い
ただもう一度会いたい
言いたいこと言えない
根性無しかもしれない
それでいいけど

もしも願い一つだけ叶うなら
君の側で眠らせて　どんな場所でもいいよ
Beautiful world
迷わず君だけを見つめている
Beautiful boy
自分の美しさ　まだ知らないの

It's only love

どんなことでもやってみて
損をしたって　少し経験値上がる

新聞なんかいらない
肝心なことが載ってない
最近調子どうだい？
元気にしてるなら
別にいいけど

僕の世界消えるまで会えぬなら
君の側で眠らせて　どんな場所でも結構
Beautiful world
儚く過ぎて行く日々の中で
Beautiful boy
気分のムラは仕方ないね

もしも願い一つだけ叶うなら
君の側で眠らせて
