"Hashagu" means "have fun", "chat and play cheerfully". So I think the original lyrics don't suggest sex. Maybe my choice of words was not appropriate. I change the part as below. But your advices of making it better are welcome.

A merry night and a lonely morning
I repeated such a life

thats what i figured. i'm sure its about going out and having fun with her friends, eating, drinking, dancing, staying up all night talking and having fun...not about sex.

but then she wakes up in the morning all alone as her friends have all gone home.

I've been hooked to this song the past few days. Now that I've read the lyrics I love it even more!

i want it to be about sex, it makes me love the lyrics that much more. ayu says you should interpret her lyrics however you want so i'm just going to keep that as my interpretation and think of this song as the first one where she mentioned her sex life

Oh, masa, I like the idea with sex better.
Having and regretting one night stands, finding true love...

When people react this way about subtle mentions of sex that may not even actually be meant t be taken that way... I remember how sexual America's pop culture really is.

I love how everyone immediately jumped to the sex conclusion.
Of course Ayu isn't a virgin people...I'm sure she and Tomoya had their nights or days of fun while they were together. And maybe she has a secret hook up or something we don't know about, who knows. Maybe it's Midoring.
It would be very forward of her if she were talking about her sex life though. That is one subject she has never touched on before. But I think it is just her talking about her nights of fun with her friends, drinking, talking, staying up all night, etc. But in the morning she wakes up alone.
Oh how I wish Ayu would find herself someone to love.

Sometimes I wonder when she has time to have sex with such an insane schedule... I mean one-night stands are the only way for her to get any LOL.

I think the "A merry night and a lonely morning" part she's referring is honeymoon.
Interesting lyrics though

Masa, I was wondering if you could explain the difference between "koi" and "ai". I noticed that, in the first verse, she uses "koi", but, in the second verse, she replaces it with "ai", and I was wondering why. Thanks for the translation!

This was for masa, but I´ll answer anyway:
http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa021101b.htm
Quote:
"Koi" is a love for the opposite sex, or a longing feeling for a specific person. It can be described as "romantic love" or "passionate love." While "ai" has the same meaning as "koi," it also has a definition of a general feeling of love. "Koi" can be selfish, but "ai" is a real love. Here are some lines that explain them well:

Koi is always wanting. Ai is always giving.

"Ai" has the broader meaning, while "koi" has the restricted meaning. As blue bird said, "ai" is "love" and "koi" is "romantic love".

I corrected some parts and line arrangement, according to the original lyrics.

neiro nanka ja nai tte --> neiro nanka ja nai
Uso ja nai kana yume ja nai kana --> Uso ja nai kara yume ja nai kara

And I changed a line of my transration.

You were sometimes voiceless, weren't you? --> Your voice sometimes ceased, didn't it?
