Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

僕がふと笑ったなら　君もきっと笑うだろう

If I happen to smile, you will surely smile too.

君がもっと笑ったなら　誰かもきっと笑うだろう

If you smile even more, someone else will surely smile too.

Lalala...

Lalala...

僕がずっと泣いていたら　君はきっとかばうだろう

If I've been crying all along, you would surely protect me.

君がずっとかばったなら　誰かが君を守るだろう

If you kept protecting me, someone would protect you too.

Lalala...

Lalala...

Lalala...

Lalala...

世界の涙 集めたら　それぞれの道に撒こう

If we gather the world's tears, let's sprinkle them on our paths.

誰かの足元にいつか　花となり咲くだろう

Someday, at someone's feet, they will bloom as flowers.

綺麗な花を集めたら　幸せがあふれだして

If we gather beautiful flowers, happiness will overflow.

僕らはひとつになれるよ　それをいま　信じよう

We can become one, let's believe in that now.

Lalala...

Lalala...
