Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Kanpeki na shiawase itsumo tsutsumareteita
Kurushimi no kono sekai aru hi umare koe wo ageta
Dakareteta bosei ni sayonara wo tsugeyou
Mune no oto kikoeru tashika ni kodou furuedasu mezame da
Naze ikiteiru shiranai kedo sore demo hageshiku
Ikiteitai to omou aisareteiru nara
Gomen nasai arigatou
Kono yo ni ikiru anata no kodou hakanai dakedo utsukushiku
Kono yo ni ikiru subete no kodou hakanai dakedo kagayaite
Zettai no yasuragi ano hi dakareteita
Kanashimi no kono sekai aru hi anata ni tsutsumareta
Mimamoru haha no hoshi shizuka ni ima kiete
Mune no oto kikoeru tashika ni kodou furuedasu mezame da
Naze umareta wakaranai sore demo hageshiku
Ikiteitai to omou aisareteiru nara
Ikiteitai to negau aisareteiru nara
Gomen nasai arigatou
Kono yo ni ikiru anata no kodou hakanai dakedo utsukushiku
Kono yo ni ikiru subete no kodou hakanai dakedo kagayaite
Kono yo ni ikiru anata no kodou kanashii koto wa nani mo nai
Kono yo ni ikeru ai suru hito kanashii koto wa nani mo nai

鼓動
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：今井寿
完璧なし合わせ いつも包まれていた
苦しみのこの世界 ある日産まれ声をあげた
抱かれてた母星に さよならを告げよう
胸の音聞こえる 確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生きている 知らないけど それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う 愛されているなら
ごめんなさい ありがとう
この世に生きるあなたの鼓動 儚い だけど美しく
この世に生きる全ての鼓動 儚い だけど輝いて
絶対の安らぎ あの日抱かれていた
悲しみのこの世界 ある日あなたに包まれた
見守る母の星 静かに今消えて
胸の音聞こえる 確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生まれた 解らない それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う 愛されたいるなら
生きていたいと願う 愛されているなら
ごめんなさい ありがとう
この世に生きるあなたの鼓動 儚い だけど美しく
この世に生きる全ての鼓動 儚い だけど輝いて
この世に生きるあなたの鼓動 悲しいことは何もない
この世に生ける愛する人 悲しいことは何もない

Kodou (Heartbeat)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I was always wrapped in perfect happiness
In this world of pain, I was born one day and lifted up my voice
I’ll say goodbye to the mother star that held me
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I’m living, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I’m sorry, thank you
Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines
That day, I was wrapped in absolute peace
One day, this world of sadness was wrapped in you
The mother star watching over me now quietly goes out
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I was born, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I want to live if I’m loved, I pray
I’m sorry, thank you
Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines
Your living heartbeat in this world—there’s nothing sad at all
A person I love can live in this world—there’s nothing sad at all
*Sakurai spelled the world “awakening” with an unusual kanji meaning “disillusionment,” or “to sober up.”

楽園 （祈り 希い）
作詞：櫻井敦司
作曲：星野英彦
愛の国ここは楽園 愛する人抱きしめあう 永遠とも呼べる様な春
愛の土地花の楽園 平和に慣れ増え続ける これ以上何を求めてる
見知らぬ街見知らぬ人 血を流し悲しみの目 ここでは夢の物語
*テレビで悲痛な声でまくしたてるメロドラマ
*この僕は軽く涙流すふりで目を伏せた
神の子が殺し合う愛の園 この俺は知らん顔で夢を見る
愛の国ここは楽園 愛し合い慰め合う よく似た顔が笑い合う
銃声に不治の病 愛し合い傷つけ合う それ以上何を求めてる
優しい父も母も 燃えた大地黒い雨
この僕は軽く涙流すふりで目を伏せた
神の子が愛し合う愛の園 この俺は知らん顔で夢を見る
神の子が殺し合う愛の園 この俺は知らん顔でここにいる
*These two lines appeared only in the single version.

Rakuen [Inori Negai] (Paradise [A Prayer and a Wish])
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko
This is paradise, the country of love
Lovers embrace one another
Here there is springtime like that which is called eternal
This is the land of love, a paradise of flowers
Grown used to peace and continuing to multiply
What more than this do you seek?
A strange city, strange people
Shedding blood with eyes full of sadness
This place is the story of a dream
*On television, the melodramas blather on and on in bitter voices
*While pretending to gently cry, I cover my eyes
God’s children kill each other in the garden of love
I am indifferently dreaming
This is paradise, the country of love
Loving and consoling one another
Faces that look much alike laugh together
With gunshots come an incurable illness
Loving and hurting one another—
What more than that do you seek?
Gentle father and mother, scorched earth and black rain
While pretending to softly cry, I cover my eyes
God’s children love each other in the garden of love
I am indifferently dreaming
God’s children kill each other in the garden of love
Indifferently, I am here
