[English]

La la la la La la la la! (Hey!)

La la la la (Hey!) Hey!

La la la la La la la la! (Oh yeah!)

I wanna be with you

Feeling it! The magic of destiny

Your smile, it's just magic

See, the moment we meet

Viva! We can be the best

Even stubbornness feels like a lie

Because I can be myself

The place where I belong—Only One

I really, really like you after all

Talking about dreams one after another

Wanting to get closer to the ideal world

My heartbeat just won't stop

I feel happy, happy, happy (You You)

I'm glad we met (Yeah!)

No matter the moment (No matter the moment)

Whatever happens, I wanna be with you

Happy, happy, happy (You You You)

Can imagine it

The future I envision

I'm drawn to it—I gotta be with you

Always good times and bad times

Sharing midnight moments

Feeling the same up and down

Joy is (Twice!) sadness is (Half!)

Let’s share them all, go!

Because I can't stop the butterflies

Come on, come on

Let go, let go

As long as it's us, it's alright

Even on days when things go wrong

Your words give me strength

Restart! You're my power

I'll be happy, happy, happy (You You You)

I believe in us (Yeah!)

Years from now (Years from now) and decades ahead

I wanna be with you

Happy, happy, happy (You You You)

We can do anything

Any difficulty (Any difficulty)

We can overcome it—I gotta be with you

Because you're here, I can become stronger

My irreplaceable person—I wanna be with you

Surely, even if we're reborn

We’ll meet again—I believe

Never-ending feelings have no end

Because you're so important, I want to protect you

La la la la La la la la! (Hey!)

La la la la (Hey!) Hey!

La la la la La la la la! (Oh yeah!)

I wanna be with you

La la la la La la la la! (Hey!)

La la la la (Hey!) Hey!

La la la la La la la la

Oh yeah

I feel happy, happy, happy (You You)

I'm glad we met (Hey!)

No matter the moment (No matter the moment)

Whatever happens, I wanna be with you

Happy, happy, happy (You You You)

Can imagine it

The future I envision

I'm drawn to it—I gotta be with you

Because you're with me, I gain courage

Forever and always, I wanna be with you
