[English]

愛の言葉 響け夜空へ

宇宙まで届けて Amore

憂鬱な雨雲 破って

24時間走り続ける

走り続ける運命

...

蒼き闇を切り裂いて

彼方を刺す月の影

宵の花に照り映えて

刹那の夢に舞い踊る

誓いを立てし瞳は

眩き未来を宿し

光纏いし蒼き姿に

さあ 翼広げて

愛の言葉 響け夜空へ

宇宙まで届けて Amore

憂鬱な雨雲 破って

24時間走り続ける

走り続ける運命

...

もしも君を見失っても

心の声は歌い続けるよ

もしも君が離れていても

心の声で歌い続けるよ

愛の言葉 響け夜空へ

宇宙まで届けて Amore

輝き放つ蒼き星が

この手に 命を宿す

愛の言葉 響け夜空へ

宇宙まで届けて Amore

憂鬱な雨雲 破って

24時間走り続ける

走り続ける運命

愛よ 地球を救え

...

紅き月に照らされて

刹那の夢がまた始まる

...
