[English]

You still don't know

My prettiest girl

So pretty, my sweetest girl

So pretty, my sweetest girl...

Feeling nervous yet excited

There you are, appearing, yeah

Everyone’s asking, 'Who’s that girl?' oh no

That rumored girl everyone talks about

Looking a little shy

Looking away though

There's nothing to be ashamed of

Other than that smile

I don’t want anything else

Lift your face, don’t be shy

More than you think

You’re much more wonderful

You still don’t realize

My sweetest girl

Your beautiful brown eyes

Your lips make me want to kiss

Don’t try to hide your long hair

Even your gestures are adorable

But I know

Your mind

Is it full of thoughts about me?

(It’s not like that)

Other than that smile

There’s nothing else I want

Lift your face, don’t be shy

More than you think

You’re much more wonderful

You still don’t realize

My sweetest girl

Hey, look into my eyes, baby

I’m not teasing you

Please accept this

All of this

Can't put it into words, but to you

I’m just captivated

Just as I am

You’re perfect for me

There’s nothing wrong

Other than that smile

I don't want anything else

Lift your face, don’t be shy

More than you think

You’re much more wonderful

You still don’t realize

My sweetest girl

Your charm

Everyone can’t compete

But you don’t realize

My prettiest girl

[Japanese]

まだ君は知らない

My prettiest girl

Pretty pretty, prettiest girl

Pretty pretty, prettiest girl...

ソワソワしながら

現れた君は yea

「あの子は誰なの？」って oh no

みんなが話してた噂のGirl

少し照れくさそうに

目そらすけど

何も恥じるものなんてないさ

その笑顔以外

欲しくなんかない

顔上げて Don’t be shy

君が思うより

ずっと素敵なのに

まだ君は知らない

My prettiest girl

綺麗な茶色い目

キスしたくなる口びる

長い髪で隠そうとしないで

その仕草さえ愛しいけど

でもわかっているから

頭の中

俺のことでいっぱいだろう？

(そんなことないもん)

その笑顔以外

欲しくなんかない

顔上げて Don’t be shy

君が思うより

ずっと素敵なのに

まだ君は知らない

My prettiest girl

ねえ俺の目を見てよ baby

からかってるつもりなんてない

受け止めて

この全て

うまくいえないけど君に

夢中なだけ

ありのままの

君でいいんだよ

何も間違ってない

その笑顔以外

欲しくなんかない

顔上げて Don’t be shy

君が思うより

ずっと素敵なのに

まだ君は知らない

My prettiest girl

君の魅力に

みんな勝てない

でも君は知らない

My prettiest girl
