[English] When there's nothing by my side, through the faint flickering light
You came close and sat beside me, and at that moment
The lights went dark and the door opened
When this light goes down
Story starts to rise up
Between passing destinies, today’s curtain opens
Never stop writing down
Until we capture the great moments
I won't let go
This is our CINEMA
Let me be your CINEMA
This is our CINEMA
In this film tape
Our images are stored
So they won't fade, I'll remember
And hold onto them forever
For every moment
I'll sing with you
When this light goes down
Story starts to rise up
Between passing destinies, today’s curtain opens
Never stop writing down
As long as I can
Everyone's shouting
Everyone's clapping
In this radiance, CINEMA
Til the end of the show
Never let it go
Yeah, I need you
Yeah, you need me, STAY...
Here, the light shines again
Ending credits start to roll
You and my name together on it
With the final curtain call
And now night after night
When you can't find your way
I'll be waiting
Welcome to our CINEMA
