[English]

Where will the arrow of my heart go?

No one... can catch up with it.

I hear the heartbeat, a story starting to run.

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where is love hiding?

Today, again, to you

Where is love hiding?

Hope we can meet.

Gracefully, I wear my pride

Confidently, I stomp down Main Street

A sudden shower, an unexpected moment

Nobody knows what tomorrow holds

The future is uncertain

How to love, how to kiss

I don’t know what you like, though

My index finger traces your lips, a different world line

The arrow of my heart points to you

What should I do... I can't stop

The moment I realized I'm falling in love

Why do we keep missing each other?

I get it, this selfish love

Still, I want to reach out

I've never felt this way before

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where can love be found?

Today, again, to you

Where is love hiding?

Hope we can meet again

Right now, what do I want?

Honestly, who do I want to be with right now?

I'm sensitive to how others see me

But blind to my own feelings

Okay, let's take a deep breath

In this changing scenery

If you're here with me

I hope tomorrow is better than I can imagine

The arrow of my heart points to you

What should I do... I can't stop

I've never felt this way before

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

...

Give you love, show you love, hold you tight

Tell me everything about you

Not someone else, I can't give you to anyone

I can't say it perfectly, but

Whatever the scene, I feel love

Look at me, show me your love

It's you who made me lose myself in love

The arrow of my heart points to you

What should I do... I can't stop

The moment I realized I’m falling in love

Why do we keep passing by each other?

I understand, this selfish love

But still, I want to reach out

I've never felt this way before

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where is love hiding?

Today, again, to you

Where is love hiding?

Hope we can meet again

...
