[English]

And a new day begins again

How much longer can you and I keep sharing this moment in time?

Can I hold you tight? So strong, your back

Until sadness itself disappears

I want to love you, protect you, wrap you in warmth

Receiving true love from you

Made everything in the world more beautiful

I have someone to love forever

Under the clear, blue sky, just smiling at you innocently

Every day feels dazzling. Love in the Perfect World

After a little laugh, unpredictably from either side

We cried until morning, didn’t we? Drowning in the night

The cherry blossoms from that spring we met

Whenever I close my eyes, what I picture is

The moment I fell in love, I’ll never forget that instant

With you who gave me true love, I’ll be with you forever

Even if the path we walk is difficult

There’s a light inside me that will never fade

You are my first and last, so I won’t let go now

Our dream, just the two of us — Love in the Perfect World

Apart from you, I have nothing to be proud of

Moment, moment, every moment I spend with you

Don’t look down. I am behind you

Moment, moment, love

Receiving true love from you

Made everything in the world more beautiful

[Japanese]

そして新しい日が 再び始まってく

あとどれくらいあなたと私 同じ時を刻めるのでしょう

抱きしめていい？ その背中強く

哀しみなんて 消えてしまうほど

愛してあげたい 守ってあげたい ぬくもりで包みたい

真実(ほんと)の愛をあなたからもらって

世界のすべてが美しくなった

私には永遠に愛する人がいる

青く晴れ渡った空の下で 無邪気にあなた微笑むだけで

毎日が眩しく見えるわ Love in the Perfect World

ちょっと笑ったあと どちらからともなくね

朝まで泣いた事があったね 夜に溺れそうだったよね

出逢った春の 桜の花びら

目を瞑るたび 思い浮かぶのは

恋した瞬間 その瞬間を 忘れはしないから

真実(ほんと)の愛をくれたあなたとずっと

歩いて行く道が険しいとしても

私には絶対に消えない光がある

最初で最後の人があなたです だからもう手離したりはしない

私たち二人だけの夢 Love in the Perfect World

私にはあなた以外 誇れるものなんてない

Moment Moment Every moment I spend with you

うつむかないでね 後ろに私がいる

Moment Moment Love

真実(ほんと)の愛をあなたからもらって

世界のすべてが美しくなった
