くちびるつんと尖らせて
Pouting my lips out sharply,
何かたくらむ表情は
Wearing a scheming expression,
別れの気配をポケットに匿していたから
Because it had hidden the hint of parting in my pocket.
机の端のポラロイド
A Polaroid on the edge of the desk,
写真に話しかけてたら
As I spoke to the photo,
過ぎ去った過去しゃくだけど今より眩しい
Though the past is regretful, it shines brighter than now.
想い出はモノクローム 色を点(つ)けてくれ
Memories are in monochrome, add some color to them for me.
もう一度そばに来て はなやいで
Come back to me once more, let’s bask in the glow,
美しの Color Girl
Oh, beautiful Color Girl,
夜明けまで長電話して 受話器持つ手がしびれたね
We talked long into the night, my hand holding the phone went numb.
耳もとに触れたささやきは 今も忘れない
The whisper that touched my ear, I still can't forget it.
想い出はモノクローム 色を点けてくれ
Memories are in black and white, paint them with color for me.
もう一度そばに来て はなやいで
Come back to my side once more, let's be joyous.
美しの Color Girl
Oh, beautiful Color Girl.
開いた雑誌を顔に乗せ
I place an open magazine on my face.
一人うとうと眠るのさ
Alone, I drift off into a slumber.
今夢まくらに 君と会うトキメキを願う
Now, upon this dream pillow, I wish for that thrilling moment with you.
渚を滑るディンギーで
On the shore, gliding in a dinghy.
手を振る君の小指から
From your little finger waving goodbye.
流れ出す虹の幻で 空を染めてくれ
With the flowing illusion of a rainbow, please dye the sky.
想い出はモノクローム 色を点けてくれ
Memories are in monochrome, please paint them with color
もう一度そばに来て はなやいで
Come back to me once more, filled with radiance
美しの Color Girl
Beautiful Color Girl
