[English]

I might be saying something stupid just now, but

Meeting each other is really something, isn't it?

In a world where most things are unknown

To think we’re calling each other's names

Getting annoyed, taking it out on each other, feeling regret

Clapping hands at the same time, laughing together

It’s just an ordinary, trivial daily life, but

You can’t relive the same days ever again

It’s so scary how you realize that

Overflowing with love, crossing time

One more silly thing, hey, I’m having fun now

Of course, I want to keep it safe, that’s obvious

Meeting someone is everything in life, I thought so

I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name

To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning

Call my name, I’ll come see you

It’s the meaning of life, it’s our meaning

...

It’s so late now, I feel embarrassed

Sometimes I think, sorry about that time

We have a relationship where I can say things without any reason

If you don’t call that precious, what else would you call it?

Overflowing with love, crossing time

One more silly thing, hey, I’m having fun now

Always helped by the people I want to help

Thank you, though I could say the same back

What can I do now? What can I do right now?

The moment I think about it, faces flash endlessly—faces, faces

I see, this is what living is

...

I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name

To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning

Call my name, I’ll come see you

It’s the meaning of life, it’s you

I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name

To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning

Call my name, I’ll come see you

It’s the meaning of life, it’s our meaning

I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name

Again and again, again and again

Call my name, I’ll come see you

No matter how many times, no matter how many times, no matter how many times

...

[Japanese]

今さら馬鹿みたいなこと言うけど

巡り合うことは やっぱり すごいね

知らないことがほとんどの世界で

互いに名前を呼び合っているなんて

苛立ち 八つ当たり 後悔したり

同時に手を叩き 笑い合ったり

それは平凡で取るに足らない日常 でも

二度と同じ日々は辿れない

気がついたとき 怖くなるくらいだ

愛しさ溢れる 時を超える

馬鹿みたいなことをもう一つ ねえ 今 楽しいな

言わずもがな ちゃんと守りたい そりゃそうだ

出会いが人生の全てだ って思った

名前を呼ぶよ 名前を呼ぶよ

あなたの意味を 僕らの意味を

名前を呼んでよ 会いに行くよ

命の意味だ 僕らの意味だ

今さら過ぎてもう恥ずかしいけど

あの時はごめんなって思うこと

脈絡もなく伝えられる関係

それを大切と言わずになんと言う？

愛しさ溢れる 時を超える

馬鹿みたいなことをもう一つ ねぇ 今 楽しいな

助けたい人に ずっと助けられている

ありがとう なんて こっちの台詞なのに

何ができるかな 今何ができるかな

考えた途端に とめどなく思い浮かぶ 顔 顔

そうか これが生きること

名前を呼ぶよ 名前を呼ぶよ

あなたの意味を 僕らの意味を

名前を呼んでよ 会いに行くよ

命の意味だ あなたが

名前を呼ぶよ 名前を呼ぶよ

あなたの意味を 僕らの意味を

名前を呼んでよ 会いに行くよ

命の意味だ 僕らの意味だ

名前を呼ぶよ 名前を呼ぶよ

何度も 何度も

名前を呼んでよ 会いに行くよ

何度だって 何度だって 何度だって
