世界は美しいはずなんだ [Sekai wa utsukushii hazu nanda] [English translation]

An incessant siren in the middle of the night

Plugging my ears, unable to sleep

Someone somewhere is about to cry

That's not something I knew

No, that's wrong

I didn't really want

To sing such a thing

We, translucent,

Will make our way even to tomorrow

Even opening the curtains there's only a pitch black darkness

I'll melt into the night,

Still carrying the dream we imagined together

That the world is supposed to be beautiful1

That we are supposed to be beautiful

I don't believe in those words

That someone was singing

I just want to laugh

I just want to know love

One star was shining

On the other side of the window

I remembered a little bit

Of your smiling face

On a country across the sea

Children are thrown away as trash

Unable to do anything

They just live through another day

I wonder if the life of the final chapter

Will forgive us

The 36ºC life that trembles 2

That gun and and that flower were originally one

Don't disappear, don't disappear

Dawn breaks,

Leaving us behind

That the world is supposed to be beautiful

That the future is supposed to be beautiful

I want to believe in those words

That someone was singing

I was crying at the sky at dawn

The light was shining over me

Love had started

To wrap around my lost days

I had stretched my arms to the stars still shining in the morning

So that I would never forget

Your smiling face
