[English]

Your sparkling smile is like a sweet gemstone, a bright illusion

Oh, diamond smile (Shine)

Your diamond smile (Dream)

One second ahead, you'll shine even brighter

Love me, love me, love me

Isn't it okay? More

Shine forever

Your sparkling smile is like a sweet gemstone, a bright illusion

Wow, you’re one of a kind in this world—your special smile

Today’s sigh, I turned around—tomorrow’s you

Again, saying 'I'm nothing special'

It doesn’t suit you at all

Look, your eyes are like a one-carat gem

When you look into them

It feels like I might get pulled in—hold tight

I hold your hand again, gripping tightly

Riding a platinum jet

Getting drunk on a whimsical miracle

By the time my blinking stops

Please stay as my one and only

Oh, diamond smile (Shine)

Your diamond smile (Dream)

One second ahead, you'll shine even brighter

Hate myself, like myself

It would be nice to say it honestly

Yes, even the stardust (Shine)

Melt like ice cream (Dream)

Feeling the sweetness of destiny

Love me, love me, love me

Isn’t it okay? More

Shine forever

Your sparkling smile is like a sweet gemstone, a bright illusion

Wow, I can definitely see a version of you even greater than now

[Japanese]

Your sparkling smile is so sweet stone, Bright illusion

Oh ダイヤモンド Smile (Shine)

Your ダイヤモンド Smile (Dream)

1秒先はもっともっともっと輝く

愛しちゃって　愛しちゃって　愛しちゃって

いいじゃないか　More

永遠に煌めけ

Your sparkling smile is so sweet stone, Bright illusion

Wow　世界にひとつさ　特別なそのSmile

今日のため息　振り向いた　明日の君

また「私なんて」ってセリフ

君には似合わないよ

ほら　ワンカラットの瞳(Eyes)

覗き込めば

吸い込まれそうさ　ぎゅっと

繋いだ手を　また握りしめた

プラチナのジェットにのって

気まぐれな奇跡に酔って

瞬きが終わる頃

僕だけの君でいてね

Oh ダイヤモンド Smile (Shine)

Your ダイヤモンド Smile (Dream)

1秒先はもっともっともっと輝く

キラいな自分　好きな自分

素直に言えたらイイね

そう星屑も (Shine)

とろけるほど (Dream)

甘い運命感じて

愛しちゃって　愛しちゃって　愛しちゃって

いいじゃないか　More

永遠に煌めけ

Your sparkling smile is so sweet stone, Bright illusion

Wow　今以上の君が　確かに見えるよ
