[English]

Through the window

影のように 街並みを染めあげるtwilight

涼しげな余韻残し

溶けていく グラスの氷

You are the only one to love

言葉にすれば 愛は急いで消えてしまうから

I'm in love

何も言わないで

With your love

優しく見つめて

I'm in love

さざなみのような

With my love

ときめきの中で

情熱は上り詰めるの

あっけなく 散っていく firework

You know I yearn to be beside you

ほんと良い恋で

熱い想いを 感じあいたい

I'm in love

形のない愛

With your love

つなぎとめて 今

I'm in love

愛する奇跡を

With my love

心に刻んで

...

I'm in love

形のない愛

With your love

つなぎとめて 今

I'm in love

愛する奇跡を

With my love

心に刻んで

I'm in love

I'm in love

With you, love, I'm in love

With your love

I'm in love

Uuh

I'm in love

I'm in love

With you, love, I'm in love

With my love

I'm in love

I'm in love

...
