[English]

I want to be there for you

Just say it, I'll say yes

I got out of bed in my sloppy clothes

Put down the mobile game

Sorry, I didn't even do my makeup

I came right away

I may not seem reliable

Ah, I'll let you know just for you

I'll be your Supergirl

Yes, I can fly

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

I'll rush over when you call, ah

If I cry before you do

It's okay to laugh out loud

A reckless fighter, for you

Holding my trembling hands tight, now

I can run out

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

Turning the rain that falls on you into light

A tiny fighter, for you

It's okay to make the whole world my enemy

I promise you

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

It's your Superhero who will bring you out of the darkness

Your Superhero

This is a secret, but you're the light of my life

The reason you make me strong is you

Feeling down in the corner of the room

Even if I cry a little

I know you can definitely overcome any night

Ah, I'll let you know just for you

I'll be your Supergirl

Yes, I can fly

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

I'll rush over when you call, ah

Even if I seem a bit unreliable

I'm always on your side

A reckless fighter, for you

Holding my trembling hands tight, now

I can run out

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

Turning the rain that falls on you into light

A tiny fighter, for you

It's okay to make the whole world my enemy

I promise you

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

It's your Superhero who will bring you out of the darkness

Your Superhero

The sky ain't higher

The moon is not further

The sea is not too deep

I won't leave your side

The sky ain't higher

The moon is not further

The sea is not too deep

Not for a super, not for a Superhero

...

[Japanese]

君の為になりたいと

Just say it, I'll say yes

だらしない服のままでベッドを出たよ

携帯ゲーム置いといて

ごめん、メイクもしないで

すぐに来たの

頼もしさはゼロだけれど

ああ、君だけにおしえておくよ

I'll be your Supergirl

そう、空も飛べる

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

呼ばれたら駆けつけるから ah

君より先に泣いてしまったら

思い切り笑ってもいいよ

無鉄砲なファイター 君のためなら

震える手を握りしめて 今

駆け出せるから

I am a wondеr woman, Supergirl

君に降る雨を光にする

ちっぽけなファイター 君のためなら

世界中を敵に回してもいい

約束するよ

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

君を暗闇から連れ出すのは

Your Superhero

これは秘密だけど you're the light of my life

私を強くさせる理由は君だ

部屋の隅で落ち込んで

少しだけは泣いたって

どんな夜もきっと乗り越える絶対君なら

Ah 君だけにおしえておくよ

I'll be your Supergirl

そう、空も飛べる

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, here we go

呼ばれたら駆けつけるから ah

ちょっと頼りない 呆れられても

いつだって味方なんだ

無鉄砲なファイター 君のためなら

震える手を握りしめて 今

駆け出せるから

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

君に降る雨を光にする

ちっぽけなファイター 君のためなら

世界中を敵に回してもいい

約束するよ

I am a wonder woman, Supergirl

君を暗闇から連れ出すのは

Your Superhero

The sky ain't higher

The moon is not further

The sea is not too deep

離れないよ 君のそばから

The sky ain't higher

The moon is not further

The sea is not too deep

Not for a super, not for a Superhero
