３月２日月曜日　賑やかな夜　ラジオに紛れ　そっとビート刻む　誰も気づかない　とてもかすかに　それは始まり
San-gatsu futsuka getsuyōbi, nigiyaka na yoru. Rajio ni magire, sotto bīto kizamu. Dare mo kizukanai totemo kasuka ni sore wa hajimari

なんでだろあなたを選んだ私です　もうとまらない運命様から決められたけど　I believe 真似だけじゃつまらないの　You'll be right!　感じるまま感じることだけをするよ
Nandedaro anata o eranda watashi desu. Mō tomaranai unmeisama kara kimeraremashita kedo. I believe mane dake ja tsumaranai no. You'll be right! Kanjiru mama kanjiru koto dake suru yo

幾億年の時を越え　その続きへ　光にのって　不思議な出来事に　僕らはためらったね　途方のないことがおきている
Iku oku-nen no toki o koe, sono tsuzuki e. Hikari ni notte, fushigi na dekigoto ni bokura wa tameratta ne. Tohō no nai koto ga okite iru

音波の洪水の中で　泳ぐ君を見つけたよ　淡い影だけの姿　何かをもとめ手伸ばす
Onpa no kōzui no naka de oyogu kimi o mitsuketa yo. Awai kage dake no sugata, nanika o motome tenobasu

新世界のドア開け　真っ白い夢にのって　いくつも海こえて　強くなれるよ　優しくなれる誰より　皆知ってる　神話のよう
Shinsekai no doa ake, masshiro na yume ni notte. Ikutsumo umi koete, tsuyoku nareru yo. Yasashiku nareru dare yori, minna shitteru. Shinwa no yō

デパートのすみにいる　よくわからない動物　そいつがなにか　僕にもわからない　皆それが好きだから　手に入れてみた　神話みたいなものさ
Depāto no sumi ni iru, yoku wakaranai dōbutsu. Soitsu ga nanika, boku ni mo wakaranai. Minna sore ga suki dakara, te ni irete mita. Shinwa mitai na mono sa

毎晩眠る前には　恋とか人生について語ろう　なんだかんだ楽しいぜ　夢はふくらみ歩き出す
Maiban nemuru mae ni wa, koi toka jinsei ni tsuite katarou. Nandakanda tanoshii ze. Yume wa fukurami arukidasu

新世界のドア開け　光を手に入れて　涙も怒りも　君なら全て笑顔に変えられるはず　恐れるものはなにもないのに
Shinsekai no doa ake, hikari o te ni irete. Namida mo ikari mo, kimi nara subete egao ni kaerareru hazu. Osoreru mono wa nanimo nai noni

ある朝ふと気づく　眺めるラジオの中で　微睡み続ける君が　ノイズの中に掻き消えた
Aru asa futo kidzuku, nagameru rajio no naka de. Madoromi tsuzukeru kimi ga, noizu no naka ni kaki kie ta

新世界のドア閉じ　神話を置き去りに　そんなに頼りない　君が一人で終わりない旅に出るなら　どうかどうか幸運を
Shinsekai no doa toji, shinwa o okizari ni. Sonna ni tayorinai, kimi ga hitori de owari nai tabi ni deru nara. Dōka dōka kōun o

６月○日月曜日よく晴れた朝　二人だけが知る神話が終わる　街角に立ち尽くしなが　ありふれた世界に　枯れるまで叫んだよ
Rokugatsu maru nichi getsuyōbi, yoku hareta asa. Fut

ari dake ga shiru shinwa ga owaru. Machikado ni tachi tsukushi na ga, arifureta sekai ni, kareru made sakenda yo

さよならα さよならα　さよなら

The English Translation of "Shinsekai no Alpha" from "Einstein Yori Ai o Komete"

On March 2nd, Monday, in a lively night, blending into the radio, softly carving out a beat, unnoticed by anyone, very faintly, it began.

Crossing billions of years, riding on the continuation of that, riding on the light, a mysterious event occurred, and we hesitated. Something unfathomable was happening.

In the flood of sound waves, I found you swimming. With only a faint shadow, reaching out for something.

Opening the door to a new world, riding on a pure white dream, crossing many seas, we can become stronger, kinder than anyone else. Everyone knows, like a myth.

In the corner of the department store, there's an unknown creature. I don't really understand what it is. Because everyone likes it, I tried to obtain it, something like a myth.

Every night before going to sleep, let's talk about love and life. Somehow it's fun. Dreams swell and begin to walk.

Opening the door to a new world, gaining light, tears and anger, if it's you, you can turn everything into a smile. There's nothing to fear.

One morning, I suddenly realize, gazing into the radio, you who continue to doze off, disappeared into the noise.

Closing the door to a new world, leaving the myth behind. If you, who are so unreliable, embark on a journey alone that doesn't end, please, please have good luck.

On June ○th, Monday, a clear morning. The myth known only to the two of us comes to an end. Standing still on a street corner, in the commonplace world, we shouted until it withered.

Goodbye, Alpha. Goodbye, Alpha. Goodbye.
