[English]

There’s a scent of winter in the air, I look up at the sky

And fluttering down, the first snow of the year is falling

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star

Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

Holding hands with cold fingers, gradually our warmth begins to grow

Even if I’m not good with cold winters, just being with you makes me feel warm

Blanket Snow, as the powder snow dances and spins

Our distance gets shorter, and I start feeling cozy

I want to keep walking through this world that turns pure white in an instant

Because I love you so much

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star

Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

Red and green musical notes gather and create illumination

Under the endless snowfall dance, I feel like I’m about to be swallowed up with you

Blanket Snow, the cold northern wind blows through

But I’m not cold because I’m being held in your arms

We warm each other with our lips, a winter magic

The me I didn't know before, please don’t let go

You softly wrap around me—my happy, gentle blanket

Blanket Snow, as the powder snow dances and spins

Our distance gets shorter, and I start feeling cozy

In an instant...

[Japanese]

冬の匂いがして 空見上げたら

ヒラヒラと今年最初の雪が降ってる

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star

Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

冷たい手と手 繋いでると 少しずつ 温度が上がってきた

寒い冬 苦手なはずが キミと居るだけで ぬくもりになる

Blanket Snow 粉雪が舞い踊るたびに

ふたりの距離は縮まり あったかくなっているわ

一瞬で 真っ白に染まる世界を

歩き続けて行きたい キミが大好き

(Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I’ll be your winter star

Shalalalala you are my sweet blanket

Shalalalala I want your winter kiss)

赤と緑の音符たちが 集まって 作り出すイルミネーション

降りしきる 雪のダンスに キミとこのまま 吸いこまれそう

Blanket Snow 北風が吹き抜けるけれど

抱きしめられているから 私は寒くないの

口唇で 温め合う 冬の魔法を

今まで知らなかった私 離さないでね

キミは私を そっと包み込む 幸せで優しい ブランケットよ

Blanket Snow 粉雪が舞い踊るたびに

ふたりの距離は縮まり あったかくなっているわ

一瞬で...
