[English]

With a single click, just as I imagined

Even if I change to the speed of light

The distance to the other side of the world

I won't get used to it in an instant

My overflowing feelings

Love illuminates you

It can become light

So painful

Even if in the future

I'm not there

I'll gently hold you now

I'll even pull fate closer

I want to keep shining

I believe I can even make a miracle happen

My overflowing feelings

Love makes my heart burn

It changes to the future

So precious

Even if I'm attacked

By the world's opinions

I'll gently accept everything

Did we come into this world

To learn about sadness?

That's not true

I want to know more love

To overcome this darkness

If we were born

Happiness is always

Right there

Oh

My overflowing feelings

Love illuminates you

It can become light

So painful

Even if in the future

I'm not there

I'll gently hold you now

I'll even pull fate closer

I want to keep shining

I believe I can even make a miracle happen
