[English]

(Let's go over there)

Dearest, Darling, My universe

Would you take me along?

To a place I can’t dream

with my poor imagination

Far away in the universe from Earth to Mars

Will you please go with me?

Wherever it may be, an old loneliness

In search of its antonym

For what fault

Must we be so

Together

Run away from the world Run on

Go to the end with me My lover

Will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray um

(It feels like I really ate it) Will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray um

(You should try) Will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray um

Will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray um

Crush me in your arms

Give me a lovelier kiss Lover

Love is all Love is all

Love Love Love Love

In the end, even though,

How is it us

For us

Run away from the world Run on

Go to the end with me My lover

Will it be a bad ending for us two, gone astray um

I slowly film you with my eyes

Please make a serene smile once again

As we hovered slowly

in the night of that day,

will you courageously

set with me?

Destroy me slowly and chilly, Ruiner

I want to get sad with you My lover

Run away from necessity Run on

Go to the end with me My lover

Two of us, side by side, gone astray on purpose

Crush me in your arms

Give me a lovelier kiss Lover

Our Love wins all Love wins all

Love Love Love Love
