[English]

"I'll see you again soon"

The promise we made that day

Has become both my medicine and my poison, squeezing my heart even today.

I want to get even a little closer

On lonely nights, at least let me hear your voice

Just that alone should make me stronger again

It grows so much I can't sleep

These feelings so straightforward

Looking up at the night sky that leads to you

I reached out my hand

Come see me right now, darling

Send it, an eternal I love You

I realized it, you're the precious one

There's no one but you

Properly guide me to the future

Cast a spell that tightly connects us

A message of overflowing happiness

I'm waiting for the day I receive it from you

Believing in what you can't see

Isn't really so painful

Pretending by averting my eyes, that's not right anymore, is it?

A tomorrow without you

I can't find any meaning in it

Night breeze, please, somehow

Erase this sigh

Come see me right now, darling

Tell me, an extraordinary Only you

No matter how much I hide my tears

You're sure to notice, aren't you?

Please, don't stop talking

Let me hear the continuation of yesterday's dream

It grows bigger the more we can't meet

I'm protecting these important feelings

Come see me right now, darling…

Come see me right now, darling

Send it, an eternal I love You

I realized it, you're the precious one

There's no one but you

Properly guide me to the future

Cast a spell that tightly connects us...

[Japanese]

「またすぐに会えるから」

あの日交わした約束は

薬にも毒にもなって 今日も胸しめつける

少しでも近づきたい

さみしい夜はせめて声を 聴かせてよ

ただそれだけで また強くなれるはず

眠れないほど募るんだ

こんなに真っ直ぐな気持ち

きみへと続く 夜空見上げて

手を伸ばした

いますぐ会いに来てよ ダーリン

届けて 永遠のI love You

気付いたの 大切な人

きみ以外いないってこと

未来へ導いてよちゃんと

ふたりをぎゅっとつなぐ魔法をかけて

あふれ出す幸せのメッセージ

きみから受け取る日を待っているよ

見えないもの信じること

案外つらくなんてないと

目を伏せて紛らわすのも いい加減違うよね

きみがいない明日なんて

意味など見つけられない

夜風よどうか このため息を

かき消して

いますぐ会いに来てよ ダーリン

伝えて とびきりのOnly you

どんなに涙 隠していても

きみにはきっとばれるよね

お願い 話をやめないで

聞かせて昨日までの夢のつづき

会えないほど大きくなるんだ

大事なこの気持ちを守っているよ

いますぐ会いに来てよ ダーリン…

いますぐ会いに来てよ ダーリン

届けて 永遠のI love You

気付いたの 大切な人

きみ以外いないってこと

未来へ導いてよちゃんと

ふたりをぎゅっとつなぐ魔法...
