[English]

If I put it into words, everything

The more precious the feelings

Somehow they turn into something else

Ah-Ha, if that's the case, then perhaps

Only the same words, I Give It Up... and just whispering

On lonely days (I love you) and on days when I thank you (I love you)

On days I cry out for help (I love you) Yeah

Yes, if the person guided by destiny, even in dreams,

words are enough with just one

Ah, I love you (Lovin’ What You Do)

If it's you, you understand

The words 'I love you' carry a thousand meanings

You know what I'm trying to say, right? You know what I mean?

A simple question, and your meaningful Motion

Hey Hey Hey Yeah, look at me

Your gaze, natural Smiles & Lies, there's no more doubt

The words 'I love you' and the thousand meanings of Motion

Hey, the thousand meanings of Motion

1000... 1000... the thousand meanings of Motion

[Japanese]

言葉にすれば全部

大切な感情ほど

なぜかしら別のモノになってく

Ah-Ha もうそれなら　いっそ

同じ言葉だけを I Give It Up... 囁いてみるの

寂しい日も（愛してる） 感謝を告げる日も（愛してる）

助けを叫ぶ日も（愛してる） Yeah

そう 夢にまで見た運命が導いた相手なら

言葉なんか一言でいいの

Ah　愛してる（Lovin’ What You Do）

あなたなら分かる

「愛してる」って言葉は　1000 の意味があって

何を伝えてるか　分かるでしょ？　分かるでしょ？

簡単な問題を　あなたに意味深なMotion

Hey Hey Hey Yeah　私を見て

視線　自然なSmiles & Lies　迷うことはないじゃない

「愛してる」って言葉と　1000 の意味のMotion

ねえ 1000 の意味のMotion

1000... 1000... 1000 の意味のMotion
