[English]

That burning gaze of yours

Your face, just as it is

Hiding it beneath a mask

Blending into the night

Oh, baby, no matter when, no matter what

I just want to be loved!

My baby, I want to believe that you believe in me

Forever

I can't help but drink it all in

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (whoo!)

For real, I won't let you go, 831

For real, everything about you, I want you

What do you mean?!

I just want to hold you tight (whoo-hoo!)

For real, just as you are, only you

For real, this isn't a dream, I miss you

Every time I hesitate, my heart is stolen away

I love you, I really love you (whoo!)

Or so I think, whatever~

...

I like being alone, it's easier

But honestly, I'm lonely

Not even knowing how to love

Wandering through the night

Oh, baby, no matter when, no matter what

I just want to be close to you!

My baby, I want to believe that you believe in me

No matter how far

I can't help but dance

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (whoo!)

For real, I won't let you go, 831

For real, everything about you, I want you

What do you mean?!

I just want to hold you tight (whoo-hoo!)

For real, just as you are, only you

For real, this isn't a dream, I miss you

Every time I hesitate, my heart is stolen away

I love you, I really love you (whoo!)

Or so I think, whatever~

We're running out of toast for breakfast! (Running out!)

Could you go buy some for me?

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, to, night, night, night (whoo!)

For real, I won't let you go, 831

For real, everything about you, I want you

What do you mean?!

I just want to hold you tight (whoo-hoo!)

For real, just as you are, only you

For real, this isn't a dream, I miss you

Every time I hesitate, my heart is stolen away

I love you, I really love you (whoo!)

Or so I think! (Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!)

Or so I think! (Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!)

[Japanese]

焼け付くようなその視線

ありのままのその素顔

仮面の下 隠しては

夜に紛れる

Oh, baby どんな時もどんな時も

愛されたくて！

My baby 信じてると信じてたい

永遠に

呑まずには いられない

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (whoo!)

ほんまやで 離さない 831

ほんまやで そのすべて I want you

なんでやねん！

強く抱きしめたくて お前を (whoo-hoo!)

ほんまやで ありのまま only you

ほんまやで 夢じゃない I miss you

ためらうたびに 心奪われ

愛してる 愛してるよ (whoo!)

しらんけどぉ～

ひとりが好き 楽やもん

でもホンマは淋しくて

愛し方もわからずに

夜を彷徨う

Oh, baby どんな時もどんな時も

くっつきたくて！

My baby 信じてると信じてたい

どこまでも

踊れずに いられない

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (whoo!)

ほんまやで 離さない 831

ほんまやで そのすべて I want you

なんでやねん！

強く抱きしめたくて お前を (whoo-hoo!)

ほんまやで ありのまま only you

ほんまやで 夢じゃない I miss you

ためらうたびに 心奪われ

愛してる 愛してるよ (whoo!)

しらんけどぉ～

朝の食パンが 足らへんでぇ！（足らへんでぇ！）

買おてきてくれへん？

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, to, night, night, night (whoo!)

ほんまやで 離さない 831

ほんまやで そのすべて I want you

なんでやねん！

強く抱きしめたくて お前を (whoo-hoo!)

ほんまやで ありのまま only you

ほんまやで 夢じゃない I miss you

ためらうたびに 心奪われ

愛してる 愛してるよ (whoo!)

しらんけど！(Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!)

しらんけど！(Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!)

Key Grammar Structures

• 仮面の下 隠しては 夜に紛れる

  ➔ Verb stem + は (Contrastive emphasis)

  ➔ The use of "隠しては" implies a repetitive or habitual action of hiding one's face behind a mask, often followed by another action.

• 呑まずには いられない

  ➔ ～ずにはいられない (Cannot help but do)

  ➔ This structure expresses an uncontrollable urge or compulsion to perform an action ("drink").

• 強く抱きしめたくて お前を

  ➔ ～たくて (Want to, connecting reason)

  ➔ This is a Kansai dialect marker used to explain a reason in a subjective or "cute/sulky" way.

• 愛し方もわからずに

  ➔ Verb stem + 方 (Way of doing)

  ➔ Attaching "kata" to a verb creates a noun phrase meaning "the way to [verb]".

• 買おてきてくれへん？

  ➔ The standard Japanese "~te kurenai" (won't you do it for me?) is changed to "~te kurehen" in Kansai dialect.
