love the world

• By: Perfume

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

こっそり秘密をあげるわ

I'll secretly share a little secret with you

ずっと好きにしていいのよ

Feel free to like me forever

きっとキミも気に入るよ

I'm sure you'll love it too

二人だけの特等席

Our special spot just for us

ちょっぴり運命みたいな

A little bit like destiny

キャラにもないようなことも

Even things out of character

感じたっていいじゃないの

It's okay to feel it, isn't it?

誰か書いたシナリオ?

Is it someone else's story?

まだ この先が見えない

Still can't see what's ahead

一番星さがす 手が震えても

Even if my hands shake searching for the first star

あきらめないで 大切な

Don't give up, it's precious

すこしの意地と キミよダーリン

A little stubbornness, you darling

刺激的 ほらステキ

Exciting, see how wonderful

見える世界がきらめくわ

The world is shining brilliantly

手探りの (探りの) あたしにも (たしにも)

Even for me, groping around

すこしわかる気がしてるんだ

I think I understand a little more

やわらかな キミのタイミング

Your gentle timing

ずるいでしょ チュチュチュ

It's unfair, right? Chu Chu Chu

Love, love the world

Love, love the world

Love the world

Love the world

Love, love the world (love the world)

Love, love the world (love the world)

Love the world

Love the world

やっぱり チャンスをあげるわ

After all, I’ll give you a chance

やっと見えたキミの隙間

Finally seeing your gap

きっと一人で悩んで

Surely worrying alone

教えてくれていいんだよ

It's okay to tell me

ちょっぴり反省みたいな

A little reflection, maybe

キャラにもないようなことも

Even things out of character

たまにはいいじゃないの

Sometimes it's okay, isn't it?

誰か書いたシナリオ?

Is it someone else's story?

まだ この先が見えない

Still can't see ahead

一番星さがす 手が震えても

Even if my hands shake searching for the first star

あきらめないで 大切な

Don't give up, it's important

すこしの意地と キミよダーリン

A little stubbornness, you darling

刺激的 ほらステキ

Exciting, see how wonderful

見える世界がきらめくわ

The world I see sparkles

手探りの (探りの) あたしにも (たしにも)

Even I, groping around

すこしわかる気がしてるんだ

I feel like I understand a little

やわらかな キミのタイミング

Your gentle timing

ずるいでしょ チュチュチュ

It's unfair, right? Chu Chu Chu

Love, love the world

Love, love the world

Have a nice day! (Have a nice day!)

Have a nice day! (Have a nice day!)

Be in a good mood, yeah!

Be in a good mood, yeah!

In all the world

In all the world

喜びの中 まだ この先が見えない

Amidst joy, still can't see ahead

一番星さがす 手が震えても

Even if my hands shake searching for the first star

あきらめないで 大切な

Don't give up, it's important

すこしの意地と キミよダーリン

A little stubbornness, you darling

刺激的 ほらステキ

Exciting, see how wonderful

見える世界がきらめくわ

The world I see sparkles

手探りの (探りの) あたしにも (たしにも)

Love, love the world

Have a nice day! (Have a nice day!)

Have a nice day! (Have a nice day!)

Be in a good mood, yeah! (Be in a good mood, yeah!)

Be in a good mood, yeah! (Be in a good mood, yeah!)

In all the world

In all the world

Love the world
