[English]

Somewhere in my heart that's tense and tight

Feels like it got hurt and developed a hole

Your true self filled with love

Why is it gradually fading away?

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

My heart has gotten a little scraped

Halfway up a high wall we climb

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wow!

Hold me tight, and give me a kiss

I'll breathe love into you

Take you higher, beyond the sky

Lift you up high, as you’re flying

Look down on the little world I was trapped in

...

People passing by, in this vast world

Do we bump into each other today too?

When you share the same wish, aim for the same future

We won’t clash, we can go anywhere together

...

On tough nights, I’ve always

Been supported by you

C'mon!

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Hold me tight, and give me a kiss

I'll breathe love into you

Take you higher, beyond the sky

Lift you up high, as you’re flying

The small person I was until yesterday

Blurs far away, turning into a dot

Look down on the tiny world I was trapped in

Thank you so much

This was Superfly, thank you

...

[Japanese]

張りつめてた 胸のどこかに

傷がついて 穴があいたみたい

愛で満ちた あなたらしさが

しぼんで行くのは なぜなの？

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

すこし心 擦りむいたのね

高い壁を 登る途中で

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wow!

抱きしめて 口づけて

吹き込んであげる 愛を

Take you higher あなたを空の彼方へ

高く浮き上がらせて flying

囚われてた 小さな世界 見下ろして進め

すれ違う 人と人 こんな広い地球(ほし)で

近づいて ぶつかるの？ 今日も？

同じ願い 同じ未来 目指すあなたとなら

ぶつからない どこまでも行けるわ

つらい夜は 私もずっと

あなたに支えられてたの

C'mon!

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

Wo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-wow

抱きしめて 口づけて

吹き込んであげる 愛を

Take you higher あなたを空の彼方へ

高く浮き上がらせて flying

昨日までの 小さな自分

遠く霞んで 点になってく

囚われてた 小さな世界 見下ろして進め

どうもありがとう

Superflyでした ありがとう
