[English]

Blocked from all sides, tangled in frustrations

Every day is a tightrope walk, it’s not easy

In that darkness, a firework shines

Ms. Liberty

With a graceful demeanor and personality

Hey, let me sit next to you

If I let go of this hand, there won’t be another chance, right?

Ms. Liberty

Caught up in gossip

With both hands blocked by others' eyes

Even at the end of a faded world, you are

Ms. Liberty

Hey, how can you smile like that?

With a light step and soft eyes

I’ll be with you anywhere, anytime

Dance for me, Ms. Liberty

I’ll follow you anywhere

If possible, Baby, get close

A merry-go-round I can’t catch even if I chase

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Make me more intoxicated

With a kiss of red lipstick

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Keep dancing forever

Now, with these hands

I’m going to embrace you

Oh beautiful goddess, everyone wants to capture you

But you don’t care about luxury cars or designer bags

Even if men dress up, they can’t hide their ulterior motives, you just smile back

I want to see you happy - just holding your hand makes me smile

I just want to possess all the words and gestures you gave me

I want to be the one reflected in your open eyes

Let’s stop this love game of winning and losing

It has to be you, not someone else

"Instead of racing with others with face makeup and nails

I want a space where I can be myself"

Flipping your skirt and dancing

A phrase that snuggles up to you

No matter where, with whom, or what you do, you are you

Your dignified profile is charming

Hey, turn this way a little more

At this good age, “I’m crazy about just you”

Isn’t that a bit insane for a grown-up?

I don’t care about anyone’s eyes

How do I appear in your eyes?

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Make me more intoxicated

With a kiss of red lipstick

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Keep dancing forever

Now, with these hands

I’m going to embrace you

I’ll follow you anywhere

If possible, Baby, get close

A merry-go-round I can’t catch even if I chase

I’ll follow you anywhere

If possible, Baby, get close

A merry-go-round I can’t catch even if I chase

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Make me more intoxicated

With a kiss of red lipstick

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

Keep dancing forever

Now, with these hands

I’m going to embrace you

I’m going to catch you

[Japanese]

八方ふさがり　しがらみにわだかまり

綱渡りの毎日さ楽じゃない

そんな暗がりの中に輝く花火さ

Ms. Liberty

スマートな身のこなしと人となり

なぁ座らせてくれよ君の隣

この手離したらチャンスは二度と無い、だろ？

Ms. Liberty

ウワサ話に耳を奪われて

他人の目に両手を塞がれて

色褪せて見える世の果てでも君は

Ms. Liberty

なぁどうしたらそんな風に笑える？

軽快なステップと柔らかな目

どこからでもどこまででも付き合うさ

踊らせて　Ms. Liberty

どこまでもついていこう

出来るならBaby get close

追いかけても捕まえられないメリーゴーランド

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

もっと酔わせて

赤いルージュの口づけで

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

ずっと踊らせて

今僕がこの手で

君を抱きしめに行く

麗しの女神　誰もが思う君を射止めたい

でも高級車にブランドのバッグなんかじゃ 君は気にも留めない

男共が着飾った所で隠せない下心も微笑んで返す懐

喜ぶ所が見たいのにさ 俺の方こそ手を繋ぐだけで顔が綻ぶ

君がくれた言葉仕草全て物にしたいだけさ

開いた目が映す先に僕がいたい訳だ

勝ちだ負けだなんてラブゲームはやめだ

他の誰かじゃなくて君じゃなけりゃダメなんだ

"フェイスメイクにネイルで周りとレース

するよりも自分でいれるスペース"

スカート翻して踊ってる

君に寄り添うフレーズ

どこで誰と何をしても君は君で

凛とした横顔がニクいね

ねぇもう少しこっち振り向いて

良い年で「たった一人の君に夢中です」

なんて一端の大人として狂ってる？

誰かの目なんて関係無いぜ

他でも無い君の目には僕はどう映ってる？

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

もっと酔わせて

赤いルージュの口づけで

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

ずっと踊らせて

今僕がこの手で

君を抱きしめに行く

どこまでもついていこう

出来るならBaby get close

追いかけても捕まえられないメリーゴーランド

どこまでもついていこう

出来るならBaby get close

追いかけても捕まえられないメリーゴーランド

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

もっと酔わせて

赤いルージュの口づけで

Hey, Ms. Liberty!

ずっと踊らせて

今僕がこの手で

君を抱きしめに行く

君を捕まえに行く
