[English]

Even if someone gets hurt

I can’t stop loving you

Don’t stare at him with your dazzling smile

You’re texting on LINE next to me

Are you testing me?

Do You Love me? Or Love him?

Even if I reset my memories oh

Again, they’ll be full of memories with you anyway

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

Who are you trying to tempt?

Who, well, who, well, which one?

Youthful days are overwrapping, Crush Crush

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

Your mischievous heart,

Just wants to be in love for the sake of love

I know it but want to catch it

Though I wanna be a good guy

I’ll betray my friendship because of you

Within touching distance of you

Within touching distance of you

Don’t be prettier

With that make-up

Do You Love me? Or Love him?

I couldn’t say it again Oh,

I liked you first, though

Frustrating La la la la la Love Triangle

Whose attention do you want to get?

Who, hey, who, hey, which?

Young loves are crossing Crush Crush

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

Your mischievous heart,

Just wants to be in love for the sake of love

I know it but want to catch it

(Come here)Egoistically

(Toward me)Hold you close to me Kiss you

(Your lip) I almost steal a kiss

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

We are all lonely and unstable

We are all lonely and unstable triangle

I know it, but I wanna get you

I know it, so I wanna be with you

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

Who are you trying to tempt?

Who, well, who, well, which one?

Youthful days are overwrapping, Crush Crush

Frustrated, La la la la la Love Triangle

Your mischievous heart,

Just wants to be in love for the sake of love

I know it but want to catch it.
