[English]

Hey, what I was about to say,

And yesterday's apology,

And my half-hearted nods,

And my "I love you" that's crying on the inside, ye-e-ey

I managed to lie and say I didn't mind, but

Please know that sometimes my heart races too.

My love for you grows like a roller coaster,

Spinning, swaying, falling, will it reach you?

Tonight's scene of love,

Under the serene shooting stars,

I'll give you the words that follow.

I'm crazy about you, I say, I love you.

Stay in my eyes forever.

Even in the next life,

Even in a past life,

I've always longed to see you.

I'm crazy about you, all day, all night.

I'll tell you clearly, so please listen.

However many times, tens of thousands of times,

I'll call your name.

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you stay with me forever?

I want more time to gaze at your profile, illuminated by the moonlight.

Every time you appear in my heart, you make me high.

Unable to be honest, I'm always Falling in love, love, love.

The flower of love that bloomed naturally by my side, reflecting the happiness of "I'm home" and "Welcome home."

Always together, no words are needed.

Because I'll remember it deep within my heart.

I'm crazy about you, I say, I love you.

Stay in my eyes forever.

Even in the next life,

Even in a past life,

I've always longed to see you.

I'm crazy about you, all day, all night.

I'll tell you clearly, so please listen.

However many times, tens of thousands of times,

I'll call your name.

Will you stay with me forever?

Along with those tears,

And the prayers that are about to overflow,

Call me, and I'll come wipe them away right away.

I'll embrace you so you never cry alone.

I'm crazy about you, I say, I love you.

Stay in my eyes forever.

Even in the next life,

Even in a past life,

I've always longed to see you.

I'm crazy about you, all day, all night.

I'll tell you clearly, so please listen.

However many times, tens of thousands of times,

I'll call your name.

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you stay with me forever?

Stay with me forever.

[Japanese]

ねぇ 言いかけた

昨日のごめんも

頼り甲斐のない相槌も

裏側で泣いてる I love you, ye-e-ey

気にしてないって嘘はつけたけど

たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

好きが募ってローラーコースター

回って揺れて落ちて君に届くかな

今夜の恋模様

流れる星うららかな

言葉のつづきを贈るよ

君に夢中 I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも

前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中 四六時中

ちゃんと言うから ねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you stay with me forever?

月夜照らされる横顔見惚れる時間がもっと欲しいよ

心に君映るたび Make me high

正直になれずにずっと Falling in love, love, love

ただいまとおかえり幸せ跳ね返し 傍らにさりげなく咲いた恋の花

ずっと一緒言葉はいらないよ

心のもっと奥で覚えてるから

君に夢中 I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも

前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中 四六時中

ちゃんと言うから ねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever?

その涙と一緒に

溢れ落ちそうな祈り

すぐ拭いに行くから僕を呼んで

抱きしめるずっとひとり泣かないよう

君に夢中 I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも

前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中 四六時中

ちゃんと言うから ねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever?

Will you stay with me forever?

Stay with me forever.
