Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
枯れ木に水を…泥水に映る君はもう… 夢よ希望よ大空に描いた理想 情熱の紅　愛して止まない君はもう… 飴より甘い理想はただの理想 No one wants the present 指を差して　さよなら　額に向けられた冷たい銃口に愛を 赤いコートのこの子も押し付けられた今を抱き抱え涙を呑み込む 何故?何故?繰り返される 二度と癒えない 何故?何故?繰り返される 枯れた心に… Lover, tenderness, freedom and peace	Kareki ni mizu o…doromizu ni utsuru kimi wa mō… Yume yo kibō yo ōzora ni egaita risō Jōnetsu no aka　Aishite yamanai kimi wa mō… Ame yori amai risō wa tada no risō No one wants the present Yubi o sashite　Sayonara　Hitai ni mukerareta tsumetai jūkō ni ai o Akai kōto no konoko mo oshitsukerareta ima o dakikakae namida o nomikomu Naze? Naze? Kurikaesareru Nido to ienai Naze? Naze? Kurikaesareru Kareta kokoro ni… Love, tenderness, freedom and peace	Here is some water for the dead tree… I see your reflections in the dirty water… Dreams and aspirations Your ideals in the big sky Passionate red The one I loved so much… Ideals being sweeter then candy are just ideals No one wants the present Point your finger Goodbye I feel love on my for head at gunpoint Even the child with the red coat swallows hers tears as she faces reality Why? Why? Over and Over It will never heal Why? Why? Over and Over My dead heart… Love, tenderness, freedom and peace
These lyrics were translated by Emi Yamada.
