Lyricist: Kisugi Etsuko
Composer/Arranger: Picasso

omotta yori kimi wa   KUURU ni
hitori ga suki to   kuchi o   tsugunda
muri wa shinaide   KYANDORU no hi mo
yori-sou you na   yoru ni

you're more than I thought, in the cool,
with the only one I love, I closed my mouth
without being unreasonable, the candle light also,
during a night of cuddling

* mitsumete   subete o
ima made tsuita uso   fuki-keshite goran yo
Begin the night,
Begin your love
hitoriyogari no MISUTERIASU
kono boku ni  tsuujinai...... Woo

* staring entirely
the lies that you told until now, blowing out the candle and your look
Begin the night,
Begin your love,
conceitedly mysterious
I don't understand this you...... Woo

seiza no kisetsu   SUROO ni
koi no jikan o kazatte kureru
aoi kokoro mo atatame naosu
boku no soba de   SAIRENTO NAITO

the season of constellations, slowly
adorn me in a time of love
also my blue heart, warm and cure me
beside you, a silent night

kanjite   subete o
kanashimi fuyasu no wa   oroka-na koto darou
Begin the night,
Begin your love
toorisugari no koi ja nai
wakaru daro   kuchizuke mo...... Woo

feeling everything
to increase sadness are fooling things
Begin the night,
Begin you love
it's not a passing love
understand?   a kiss also...... Woo

yumemite  subete o
naname no koigokoro   konya kagiri sutete
Begin the night,
Begin your love
tokai sodachi no EGOISUTO
samishisa no  uragaeshi...... Woo

dreaming entirely
oblique awakening of love, tonight, throwing away as much as possible
Begin the night
Begin your love
a city-bred egoist
my loneliness is turned inside out...... Woo

* Repeat

［めぞん一刻］エンディング・テーマ（１９８７）
ビギン・ザ・ナイト
歌：ピカソ
作詞：来生えつこ
作曲・編曲：ピカソ

思ったより君は  クールに
一人が好きと  口を  つぐんだ
無理はしないで  キャンドルの火も
寄り添うような  夜に

※見つめて  全てを
今までついた嘘  吹き消してごらんよ
BEGIN THE NIGHT,
BEGIN YOUR LOVE
ひとりよがりのミステリアス
この僕に  通じない……WOO

星座の季節  スローに
恋の時間を飾ってくれる
青い心もあたためなおす
僕の側で  サイレント・ナイト

感じて  全てを
哀しみ増やすのは  愚かなことだろう
BEGIN THE NIGHT,
BEGIN YOUR LOVE
通りすがりの恋じゃない
わかるだろ  くちづけも……WOO

夢見て  全てを
斜めの恋心  今夜限り捨てて
BEGIN THE NIGHT,
BEGIN YOUR LOVE
都会育ちのエゴイスト
さみしさの  裏返し……WOO

※くりかえし
