Lyrics[]

Romaji English Original

It's only love

Moshimo negai hitotsu dake
Kanau nara
Kimi no soba de nemurasete
Donna basho demo ii yo
Beautiful world
Mayowazu
Kimi dake wo mitsumeteiru
Beautiful boy
Jibun no utsukushisa
Mada shiranai no

It's only love

Netemo sametemo shounen manga
Yume mite bakka
Jibun ga suki jyanai no

Nani ga hoshii ka wakaranakute
Tada hoshigatte
Nurui namida ga hoo wo tsutau

Iitai koto nanka nai
Iada mouichido aitai
Iitai koto ienai
Konjou nashi kamoshirenai
Sorede ii kedo

Moshimo negai hitotsu dake
Kanau nara
Kimi no soba de nemurasete
Donna basho demo ii yo
Beautiful world
Mayowazu
Kimi dake wo mitsumeteiru
Beautiful boy
Jibun no utsukushisa
Mada shiranai no

It's only love

Donna koto demo yatte mite
Son wo shitatte
Sukoshi keikenchi agaru

Shinbun nanka iranai
Kanjin na koto ga nottenai
Saikin choushi doudai ?
Genki ni shiteru nara
Betsu ni ii kedo

Boku no sekai kieru made
Aenu nara
Kimi no soba de nemurasete
Donna basho demo kekkou
Beautiful world
Hakanaku
Sugiteyuku hibi no naka de
Beautiful boy
Kibun no mura wa shikatanai ne

Moshimo negai hitotsu dake
Kanau nara
Kimi no soba de nemurasete

It's only love
 
If I could have only one wish
Let me sleep right next to you; it doesn't matter where
Beautiful world
I'm gazing only at you, no hesitation
Beautiful boy
You don't still know your beauty
 
It's only love
 
Asleep or awake, teen comics
I hate myself being a foolish dreamer
 
I don't know what I want, but all I see
Is soft tears streaming down my cheeks
 
I've got nothing to say
Just want to see you again
Can't say what I want to
May not have the heart
But whatever
 
If I could have only one wish
Let me sleep right next to you; it doesn't matter where
Beautiful world
I'm gazing only at you, no hesitation
Beautiful boy
You don't still know your beauty
 
It's only love
 
No matter what the cost, when you try,
You will find yourself grow up little by little
 
I don't need newspapers
It doesn't tell me what I really want to know
Hey, where have you been?
If only you're doing well
It'll be alright, though
 
If I can't see you 'til my world fades away
Let me sleep right next to you; it doesn't matter where
Beautiful world
In the midst of transient days
Beautiful boy
It can't be helped if I'm moody
 
If I could have only one wish
Let me sleep right next to you

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
It's only love

Discography[]

References[]

  • Since Utada had not read the film's script before writing the theme songs for any of the first three Rebuild of Evangelion films,[3] Utada took her inspirations from Shinji wanting to see his friends and the real world again at the end of The End of Evangelion, and Asuka's realization that she did desire love from other people.[4]
  • Utada's relationship with her mother, a musician herself, and her mental illness later in life influenced her Eva songs. For this reason, out of all of the Eva characters she identified the most with Asuka.[5]
