English translation

On such a clear day     my tears finally dry
Gradually it singes     the cold girlfriend and the sun.

I am here…   always wanting to cry

It’s flown, let it go
I know the sky is all a lie
Someone, change this heart
I look for sin and sweet honey

I am here…   always wanting to cry

So sad, so sad     the sky and sun
Pull apart —– even so, they separate
(Look cutely at me)
…Sorry     Even if it’s broken, I won’t warn you

So cute, so adorable     the sky and sun
Separate —– even so, they pull apart
(Look sadly at me)
…Sorry     Even if it’s broken, I won’t warn you
Insufficient?     There’s no such thing as insufficient love———-
What I want right now,
What I need,
That is, the lie.

I am here

Japanese

こんな晴れた天気じゃ せっかくの涙もかわくよ
じりじりとこがすよ 冷めた彼女と太陽。

(あたしはここよ・・・ いつも泣いていたいのよ)x2

とびかけた、逃してよ
空がウソを全部知るのよ
誰かこころかしてよ
罪とあまいみつをもとめよ

(あたしはここよ・・・ いつも泣いていたいのよ)x2

悲しい悲しい 空と太陽
ひきはなす――でも、ひきはなす
(かわいい目をしてよ)
・・・ゴメンネ こわれるものでも、予告しないのよ

かわいいかわいい 空と太陽
ひきはなす――でも、ひきはなす
(悲しい目をしてよ)
・・・ゴメンネ こわれるものでも予告しないのよ
たりない? たりないものなどない――――
今ほしいのは、
あたしに必要なものは、
それは、ウソだ。

あたしはここよ

=======
[1] Chara pronounces 悲しい (kanashii) as “kawaii” and かわいい (kawaii) as “kanashii” in the album recording of this song, but in versions performed live, the pronunciation follows the lyrics listed in the booklet. I suspect the album mixing switched the order of the chorus and the booklet’s lyrics are the intended lyrics.

[2] もの mono: thing. Pronounced as “ai” (love).
