[English]

You're a Cinderella girl

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

No matter when, I'll always be by your side

Show me your dazzling smile

You're a Cinderella girl

Even if the day comes when the magic wears off

No matter how old I get, no matter how many years pass

I'll keep protecting you

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

In the bustling streets at almost 11 PM

It's still way too early to say goodbye

You know I have a pretty strict curfew

But I know that all too well

Still, when it comes down to it, I don't want to let you go

We don't even have a promise to meet again

People rush off, leaving everything behind

I run up the long stairs, disappearing into the crowd

You're a Cinderella girl

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

No matter how old I get, no matter how many years pass

Show me your smile by my side

You're a Cinderella girl

Even if the day comes when the magic wears off

No matter how old I get, no matter how many years pass

I'll keep protecting you

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

I think of you more than you think of me

Do you think of me more than I think of you?

Everyone's lamenting

"Love magic has an expiration date"

"As time passes, even jewels become glass beads"

Even if that day comes

You'll hold it up to the morning light

And adorn it by your ear

I'll fall in love with you again

When the clock strikes 0 AM, what kind of dreams are you having?

If I could cast a spell on you

I could cross the night sky to meet you

...

You're a Cinderella girl

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

No matter when, I'll always be by your side

I'll keep my heart lit for you

You're a Cinderella girl

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

No matter how old I get, no matter how many years pass

Show me your smile by my side

You're a Cinderella girl

Even if the day comes when the magic wears off

No matter how old I get, no matter how many years pass

I'll keep protecting you

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

I wanna always be your King & Prince

...

[Japanese]

キミは シンデレラガール

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

どんなときも ずっとそばで

まぶしいその笑顔見せて

やがて シンデレラガール

魔法が解ける日が来たって

いつになっても 幾つになっても

ボクはキミを守り続ける

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

PM11時間近の にぎわう街並みに

まだサヨナラ言うには 全然早すぎるのに

わりと門限きびしいって

そんなのちゃんと分かってるって

だけどやっぱ いざとなると帰したくない

次に会える約束も

そこそこに駆け出す人

長い階段駆け上がって 人波に消える

キミは シンデレラガール

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

いつになっても いつになっても

となりでその笑顔見せて

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

キミが思うより ボクはキミを想ってる

キミはボクが思うよりも ねぇ ボクを想うのかな？

だれもがみんな嘆いてる

"恋の魔法には期限がある"

"時がたてば 宝石もガラス玉さ"

もしもそんな日が来たって

キミは朝の光にかざして

それを耳元に飾るだろう

ボクはまたキミに恋するんだろう

AM0時の鐘を聴く頃に キミはどんな夢見てる？

もしもボクに魔法がつかえたなら

夜空越えて 会いに行けるのに

キミは シンデレラガール

My precious one

You are the only flowering heroine

どんなときも ずっとそばで

ボクの心 灯しつづけて

I wanna be your sunshine (sunshine)

Because your smile has the magic

I wanna always be your sunshine (sunshine)

Always makes me happy!!

I wanna always be your King & Prince
