Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

365日をあなたと過ごせたら

If I could spend 365 days with you

思い通りにいかない日があっても

Even on days that don't go as I plan

それすら「幸せ」と呼びたい

I want to call that even 'happiness'

暗闇に慣れてしまわないで

Don't get used to the darkness

悲しみにもう怯えないで

Don't be afraid of sadness anymore

長い夜を越えて

After crossing this long night

散らばった涙を集めて

Gather the scattered tears

光に変えてゆくよ どんな暗闇も

And turn them into light

夢見た未来が途切れないように

So that the dreamed future won't fade away

生まれる明日が眩しく光るよ

The tomorrow that's born will shine so brightly

そこから僕が連れてゆく

From there, I'll take you

あなたの歩幅に合わせて2人歩くだけで

Just walking together, matching your step

愛おしさが溢れるよ

Love overflows from my heart

伸ばした手にあなたの温もり

Your warmth in my outstretched hand

流れ星 駆け出すペガサス

Shooting stars, Pegasus running free

朝焼け 透明な空気

Sunrise, the transparent air

まわる時を越えて

Beyond the revolving time

重なったあなたとの毎日が

My everyday with you overlaps,

鮮やかに染まる

Coloring my world vividly

光の中で輝く七色の希望は

Seven-colored hope shining in the light

あなたが僕に教えてくれた

You taught me this

絶望の底に飲み込まれそうなら

If I feel like I'm sinking into despair

いつだってあなたを連れてゆく

I will always take you with me

始まりと終わりが在る場所で

To the place where beginnings and ends exist

やっと巡り会えた

Finally, we met

選んで 選ばれて あなたといる

Choosing, being chosen, being with you

一人じゃない

I'm not alone

光に変えてゆくよ どんな暗闇も

And I will turn everything into light

夢見た未来が途切れないように

So that the dreamed future won't fade away

生まれる明日が眩しく光るよ

The tomorrow that is born will shine so brightly

そこから僕が連れてゆく

From there, I'll take you

いつだってあなたを連れてゆく

Always taking you along
