[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
