モンスターボールが　きみのベッドさ	Monsutaa Booru ga kimi no beddo sa
まるくなって　めをとじて	Maruku natte me o tojite
あさになれば　きずもいえるよ	Asa ni nareba kizu mo ieru yo

もしももしも　きみが	Moshimo moshimo kimi ga
ぼくの　ゆめのなかに	Boku no yume no naka ni
あそびにきてくれたなら….	Asobi ni kite kureta nara....
なんて　ちょっと　おもっただけ	Nante chotto omotta dake

おやすみ　おやすみ　おやすみ	Oyasumi oyasumi oyasumi
きらり　ほしが　ひかるよ	Kirari hoshi ga hikaru yo

ねむれないよるも　あるよね	Nemurenai yoru mo aru yo ne
おいで　ぼくの　うでのなかに	Oide boku no ude no naka ni
ふたりだけの　はなしをしよう	Futari dake no hanashi o shiyou

もしももしも　ぼくらの	Moshimo moshimo bokura no
であいが　なかったなら	De'ai ga nakatta nara
きみに　きいてみたいけど…	Kimi ni kiite mitai kedo...
ピカチュウ？　もう　ねむったのかい？	Pikachuu? Mou nemutta no kai?

おやすみ　おやすみ　おやすみ	Oyasumi oyasumi oyasumi
いま　ほしが　ながれたよ	Ima hoshi ga nagareta yo

おやすみ　おやすみ　おやすみ	Oyasumi oyasumi oyasumi
そろそろ　ぼくも　ねむるよ	Soro soro boku mo nemuru yo

Translation

The goal of the following translation is to present the meaning of the song in a competent, coherent way. It is not meant to be an English version of the song that can be sung along with the melody.

Your Monster Ball is your bed
Curl up and close your eyes
And when morning comes, you can tell me about your troubles.

Maybe,
The thought of if you
Coming into my dreams to play
Has crossed my mind.

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
A twinkling star is shining.

There are some nights when you can't sleep, aren't there?
So, hop up on my arm
And let's have a talk, just the two of us.

Maybe,
I want to ask you about
If we'd never met, but...
Pikachu? Are you asleep already?

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Right now, a star just shot across the sky.

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I'll be going to sleep, too.
