[English]

Ordinary, no

Really don't think so

Not a love this true

Common destiny

We were meant to be

Me and you

Like a perfect scene

From a movie screen

We're a dream come true

Suited perfectly

For eternity

Me and you

Every day

Well I need you even more

At the nighttime, too

There's no way

I could ever let you go

Even if I wanted to

Every day I live

Try my best to give

All I have to you

I thank the stars above

That we share this love

Me and you

...

Every day

And I need you even more

At the nighttime, too

There's no way

I could ever let you go

Even if I wanted to

Ordinary, no

I really don't think so

Just a precious few

Ever make it last

Get as lucky as

Me and you

...

Me and you

...
