心を上向きに ステキのさあ始まり

Lift your heart up, a wonderful beginning

One, two, three, find a great view point

One, two, three, find a great viewpoint

Here we go キミの場所がある

Here we go, your place is waiting

何かを変えるのは 今かもしれないから

Here we go キミの特等席

Here we go, your special seat

Relax いつもキミと

Relax, always with you

心地よい場所探してるの

遠い街並みを

Looking out at the distant cityscape

木漏れ日の下 眺めてるの

Under the dappled sunlight, watching the view

Relax 今日もキミと

Relax, today again with you

Finding a comfortable spot

遠い雲の下 顔出す太陽に

Under the distant clouds, the sun breaking through

温めてほしいの

I want it to warm me up
