Snow Magic Fantasy

Enchanted by the magic of snow

I've fallen for you

Are you perhaps a snow fairy?

On a snow-covered mountain where stars descend,

Until I saw you, I completely didn't believe in any supernatural tales,

The mountain where you live is called 'Snow Land,'

You told me you were born in this country where it snows year-round.

Hey, I’ve never experienced summer,

That blazing summer—that’s my dream—to see it.

But maybe it’s better—things more romantic when certain things are kept secret, right?

There are probably lots of things more romantic when the world remains a mystery, aren’t there?

Snow Magic Fantasy

Enchanted by the magic of snow

I’ve fallen for you

Are you perhaps a snow fairy?

I've gone through my life loved by no one, living all alone.

Until the day I met you.

Out of the blue, I asked, 'Since you're a fairy, are you really 200 years old?'

And I was pretty much ignored—

Hey, you know, life will come to an end someday.

You and I, our stories will eventually end.

Then why did we meet?

You brought both happiness and sadness along with you.

It's quite a paradox, isn’t it?

Snow Magic Fantasy

Enchanted by the magic of snow

I’ve fallen for you

Are you perhaps a snow fairy?

A fantasy with a snow fairy

Soon, I began to feel sleepy.

Being with you must be what this feels like after all.

But it’s okay—I only learned how to love someone because I met you.

This is my happily ever after.

Snow Magic Fantasy

Enchanted by the magic of snow

I’ve fallen for you

Are you perhaps a snow fairy?

A fantasy with a snow fairy

A fantasy with the snow fairy

スノーマジックファンタジー

雪の魔法にかけられて

僕は君に恋した

もしかして君は雪の妖精？

僕は星の降る雪山で、

君を見るまではオカルトの類はまったく信じていなかったのだけれども

君が住む山は“スノーランド”

1年中、雪の降るこの国で私は生まれたの、と君は話してくれたんだ

ねぇ、私は夏を見たことがないの、

燃えるようなあの夏を、それを見るのが私の夢なの

でも良いの　この世界は知らない方がロマンチックな事も

たくさんあるのでしょう？

スノーマジックファンタジー

雪の魔法にかけられて

僕は君に恋した

もしかして君は雪の精？

僕はこれまでの人生を誰にも愛されることもなく1人で生きてきた

君と出逢うその時までは

ふいに、「君は妖精だから、やっぱり年齢は200歳とかなのかい？」と聞いたら、

それはなんか無視された

ねぇ、命はいずれ終わるものよ

貴方と私は終わりがくるの

なのに、なんで出逢ってしまったの？

貴方は「幸せ」と同時に「悲しみ」も運んできたわ

皮肉なものね

スノーマジックファンタジー

雪の魔法にかけられて

僕は君に恋した

もしかして君は雪の精？

雪の妖精とのファンタジー

やがて、僕は眠くなってきた

君と一緒にいるという事は、やはりこういう事だったんだろう

でも良いんだ、君に出逢えて初めて誰かを愛せたんだ

これが僕のハッピーエンド

雪の魔法にかけられて

僕は君に恋した

もしかして君は雪の精？
