(Ha-ah)

It's okay, it's okay, I know for sure

Even if I trip, I'll wave my tears goodbye

Kawaii, kawaii, kawaii

It's okay, it's okay, I know for sure

Holding hands, we’ll say bye to tears

Ah, Ah-ah

Kawaii, kawaii—it's pure magic!

Don’t you dare give up on your dreams

Even if it’s far, let’s meet someday in the future

(In the future)

Toward the glittering sky above

Gather up the fragments of courage

(Ready?)

Someday, we’ll laugh together in the future

With the twinkling stars as our guide

We’ll find the pieces of courage
