[English]

...

The beautiful flowers that decorate the night sky

The city's voice is wrapped in light

The words I heard in a world without sound, just the two of us

"I love you"

The future I saw in my dreams

The future I saw in my dreams

Summer nights, you and I, our shadows side by side

When the last fireworks rise into the sky and disappear

That's the signal

On a usual morning

Your usual face

I looked away, unable to bear it

No matter what

I couldn't forget

Your words

Still echoing in my mind

Beyond the night, to the future of my dreams

To the future I want to reach

Really?

In that dream

Really?

Even now

I get anxious, but

Surely

Beyond the present, to the future

To a place just for the two of us

Just a little more

Please don't change

Just a little more

Your words

I'll be waiting for you in that future

No one knows

A night just for the two of us

The scenery I've been waiting for, overlapping

Like the future and the present connecting in the summer sky

Fireworks blooming

With you, here, tracing that dream

I looked up

The sky decorated

With light, now

Your profile illuminated

For the sake of this scenery

So, surely, the two futures

Will overlap now

In the night, with you, the two of us

In the future we've reached

Don't worry, my thoughts

Will surely reach you

To the future of the dream I saw that day

Beyond the present, to the future

To you, whom I met again

Just a little more

Please don't end

Just a little more

Look, the last fireworks, now

Will envelop the two of us

Echoing in a world without sound

"I love you"

Tracing that dream

[Music fades out]
