[English]

The rainbow after the rain

The flowers that bloom with dignity

Overflowing with colors

To you, gazing at the crimson sky

On that day, I fell in love

A dramatic moment

Even a frame in the film

Will not fade away, in my heart

Because it is engraved

It's you, it’s really you

You taught me

If the darkness can shine

It will become a starry sky

Turning sadness into smiles

Don't hide it anymore

Any sparkling star

Will shine on you

Forgetting even sleep

The morning sun that welcomed me

Pierces through so sharply

Even the headache brought by low pressure

I forget when I meet you

Silence is romantic

Like sugar dissolving in tea

Your voice circulates through me

It's you, it’s really you

You gave me a smile

If tears can shine

They will become shooting stars

Don't let go of that hurt hand

Don't let it go anymore

In the sky filled with wishes

Tomorrow will come

The light that guided me is you

I started running too, drawn in

Before I knew it, we began to cross paths

Look, now, if it can shine here

It's you, it’s really you

You taught me

Because the darkness will end

It's you, it’s really you

You taught me

If the darkness can shine

It will become a starry sky

Turning sadness into smiles

Don't hide it anymore

Any sparkling star

Will shine on you

Is the answer always coincidence? Or fate?

The path I chose someday will become destiny

Both the hope and anxiety I held tightly

Will surely become the light that moves us both

...

[Japanese]

雨上がりの虹も

凛と咲いた花も

色づき溢れだす

茜色の空 仰ぐ君に

あの日 恋に落ちた

瞬間のドラマチック

フィルムの中の一コマも

消えないよ 心に

刻むから

君だよ 君なんだよ

教えてくれた

暗闇も光るなら

星空になる

悲しみを笑顔に

もう隠さないで

煌めくどんな星も

君を照らすから

眠りも忘れて

迎えた朝日が

やたらと突き刺さる

低気圧運ぶ 頭痛だって

忘れる 君に会えば

静寂はロマンティック

紅茶に溶けたシュガーのように

全身に巡るよ 君の声

君だよ 君なんだよ

笑顔をくれた

涙も光るなら

流星になる

傷ついたその手を

もう離さないで

願いを込めた空に

明日が来るから

導いてくれた 光は 君だよ

つられて僕も 走りだした

知らぬ間に クロスし始めた

ほら 今だ ここで 光るなら

君だよ 君なんだよ

教えてくれた

暗闇は終わるから

君だよ 君なんだよ

教えてくれた

暗闇も光るなら

星空になる

悲しみを笑顔に

もう隠さないで

煌めくどんな星も

君を照らすから

答えはいつでも 偶然？必然？

いつか選んだ道こそ 運命になる

握りしめたその希望も不安も

きっと2人を動かす 光になるから
