One Thousand and One Nights

Lyrics & Composition: Saori
Arrangement: SEKAI NO OWARI & Neko Saitou

The princess born in the country of sand
brimmed with more curiosity than anyone else
"Tell me pleasant stories till I can sleep"
She gathered soldiers from all over the country

Though she heard
boasts of battles or sermons from the elderly,
the princess's heart didn't budge the slightest
The world was full of boredom

If they call these wasted sandy land
feelings of mine "loneliness",
then what should I call
the world on the other side?

Though I don't understand anything about what's obvious
I can't pretend to know
I'm sure I'm walking in search
of a shining star-like meaning
in this world the sand dances in

If you know what's obvious,
then please tell me
And then in this world sand dances in
in the light of the new moon
tell me about your Arabian Nights

One soldier came
to the princess from the country of sand
And he told her tales she'd never seen nor heard of before
until she slept

Rainbows spanning in ultramarine skies
and about seeing magic-like snow
But also about how here you can see
stars more beautiful than anywhere else in the world

I lost track that I wouldn't be able to meet
the man she met in the wasted sandy lands
"Beloved" and "painful"
appeared completely the same

When I start not knowing what's obvious,
aah, have I fallen in love?
It's like everything is glittering
like the shining stars
in this world sand dances in

So happy but lonely
So sad but in love
There are times when you say
you don't want to know what you want to know

Riding on a magic carpet through the skies
just where did we come to?
This should be the lonely
other side of the world...
Why am I all alone like this?

When I start not knowing what's obvious,
aah, have I fallen in love?
Opening the window and gazing at the stars
the sand dances with my sighs
Let me hear about the Arabian Nights

Suna no kuni de umareta oujo wa
Dare yori mo koukishin ousei
"Nemureru made tanoshii hanashi wo shite"
Kunijuu no heishi wo atsumeta

Tatakai no jimanbanashi ya
Toshiyori no sekkyou wo kiitemo
Oujo no kokoro wa bidou dani shinakatta
Sekai wa taikutsu de michite ita

Areta sunachi no you na watashi no
Kono kimochi wo "kodoku" to yobu nara
Uragawa no sekai no koto wa nan to
Yobeba ii no?

Atarimae no koto mo nanimo wakaranai noni
Shitte iru FURI wa dekinai
Kitto kono suna ga mau sekai ni
Hikaru hoshi no you na
Imi wo sagashi aruite iru no

Atarimae no koto wo anata ga shitte iru nara
Douka watashi ni oshiete
Soshite kono suna ga mau sekai de
Mikazuki no akari de
Kikasete ARABIAN NAITO

Suna no kuni no oujo no moto e
Hitori no heishi ga yatte kite
Mita koto mo kiita koto mo nai hanashi wo
Nemuru made kikasete kureta

Gunjou no sora ni kakaru niji ya
Mahou no you na yuki wo mita koto
Demo koko dewa sekaijuu no doko yori mo
Utsukushii hoshi ga mieru koto mo

Areta sunachi de deatta kare ni
Aenaku naru to wakaranaku naru no
"Itoshii" to kurushii" ga marude

Atarimae no koto ga wakaranaku natte iku toki
Aa, koi wo shite iru no?
Marude kono suna ga mau sekai ni
Hikaru hoshi no you ni
Subete ga kagayaite iru no

Shiritai koto wo "shiritakunai" nante
Itte shimau koto ga aru no

Sora wo tonde mahou no juutan ni notte
Itta doko made kita no?
Koko wa kodoku no uragawa no
Sekai no hazu nanoni
Doushite konna ni hitori nano

Atarimae no koto ga wakaranaku natte iku toki
Aa, koi wo shite iru no
Mado wo akete hoshi wo nagame
Tameiki de suna ga mau
Kikasete ARABIAN NAITO
