[English]

Don’t look at me like that

That’s not really my thing

That’s what I was thinking

It’s disappointing, this unrequited love

Don’t treat me so tenderly

That makes me want to cry

Smiling like that, huh

Just like the day we met

...

You're my shining star

And I love you, so

My heart is always longing for love

My 24 hours are all yours

You can do whatever you want with them

All for you

Even just a single second of your 24 hours

If I can have it all to myself

That would surely make my day

You're my shining star

And I love you, so

...

My heart is always searching for love

Don’t turn your eyes away like that

That’s just too sad

I want to end things like that

I kind of realized it, after all

I'm still in love with you

And I can't let go

My heart still looks at you

With all my 24 hours

I want to dedicate them all to you

It’s not just selfish, right?

Just for you

If even a single second of your 24 hours

We could share it together

That would make life so good

...

I want to give you all of my 24 hours

Just to you alone

It’s not selfish, right?

Just for you

Oh, I’m still in love with you

You're my shining star

And I love you, so

...

My heart is always longing for love

I want to dedicate all my 24 hours

Just to you

It’s not selfish, right?

Just for you

Life is so good

Life is so good

So good

...

[Japanese]

そんな風に僕を見ないで

そういうのは得意じゃない

そんな風に思ってたの

がっかりさ これじゃ片思い

そんな風に優しくしないで

そういうのが泣きたくなる

そんな風に笑うんだね

僕達が出逢った日のように

You're my shining star

And I love you, so

心はいつも愛を求めてる

僕の24時間は全て君だけのものだから

好きに使えばいいのさ

All for you

だって君の24時間の1秒でもいい

独り占めできるなら

きっとMakes my day

You're my shining star

And I love you, so

心はいつも愛を求めてる

そんな風に目反らさないで

そういうのは悲しすぎる

そんな風に終わりたいの

やっぱりね 少し気づいてたよ

I'm still in love with you

And I can't let go

心は今も君を見つめてる

僕の２４時間を全て

君だけに捧げよう

独りよがりじゃないよね

Just for you

もしも君の24時間の１秒でもいい

2人分かち合えたら

それでLife is so good

僕の２４時間を全て

君だけに捧げよう

独りよがりじゃないよね

Just for you

Oh I'm still in love with you

You're my shining star
