[English]

The song of a scolded child

Embracing a slouched back, smoothing my bedhead

...

On a journey, impatience is forbidden

Sometimes I get off midway and linger in the twilight

If different people could unite while remaining different

We might just feel really good

You become my spring

You become my summer

We go around the four seasons together

To the beach in December

You and I right in front of me are real

Being here right now is real

It approaches like a train

Embracing various things

If different people could unite while remaining different

We might just feel really good

You become my spring

You become my summer

We go around the four seasons together

To the beach in December

You become my autumn

You become my winter

You become my Tokyo

Weaving the morning light

You and I right in front of me are real

Being here right now is real

You and I right in front of me are real

Being here right now is real

We go around the four seasons together

You become my Tokyo

...

[Japanese]

叱られた子供のうたごえ

猫背を抱いて寝癖を撫でる

旅にはね、焦りは禁物

たまに途中下車して黄昏れたりさ

違う人間が違うまま力を合わせることができたなら

きっといい気分になるかもしれないわ

君が僕の春になる

君が僕の夏になる

君と四季を巡り巡る

12月の海岸へ

目の前にいる君と私が本当だよ

今ここにいることが本当だよ

列車のように迫ってくるの

色んなものを抱擁するさ

違う人間が違うまま力を合わせることができたなら

きっといい気分になるかもしれないわ

君が僕の春になる

君が僕の夏になる

君と四季を巡り巡る

12月の海岸へ

君が僕の秋になる

君が僕の冬になる

君が僕の東京になる

朝の光を紡いで

目の前にいる君と私が本当だよ

今ここにいることが本当

目の前にいる君と私が本当だよ

今ここにいることが本当だよ

君と四季を巡り巡る

君が僕の東京になる
