[English]

I found myself wanting to hear your voice more than any song.

That's all it is.

I don't really have much to say.

I just want you to be my partner in love, even if just a little.

On nights when I dial with trembling fingers, it plays in slow motion.

In a slightly hoarse, neither low nor high, ordinary tone.

Only when you laugh does your voice rise by two and a half notes.

Your catchphrases,

even your casual responses,

are deeply etched in the center of my memory.

I found myself wanting to hear your voice more than any song.

愛する君の声が　どんな歌より聴きたくなった

No matter what we talk about, my heart floats lightly in the air.

In truth, I want to say more clever things.

But it's difficult, and I just looked up at the autumn night sky in silence.

でも難しくて　黙ったまんま見上げた秋の星空

From your distant town, your voice reached me.

I felt a pang knowing I can't go see you right now.

Before I knew it, three hours had passed! Our conversation flowed naturally.

In an instant, the sky brightened, and I fell asleep saying goodbye.

Your voice that I love,

is all I need to fall in love.

Your voice that I love is more wonderful than any song.

When I hear it, my heart starts to dance; what a lovely love this is.

Your voice that I love is a melody.

As I fall in love, I carve out memories.

Your voice that I love is a melody.

As I fall in love, I carve out memories.

Your voice that I love is a melody.

As I fall in love, I carve out memories.

Your voice that I love is a melody.

As I fall in love, I carve out memories.

[Japanese]

愛する君の声が　どんな歌より聴きたくなった

それだけなんだよ

話すことも大して決めちゃないんだよ

恋するだけの僕の相手をちょっとだけしてほしいんだ

震える指でダイヤルする夜はスロー再生で

少しかすれた低くも高くもない　普通のトーンで

笑うときだけいつもの声より二音半あがる

君の口癖や

適当な相槌さえも

記憶のど真ん中に

色濃く焼き付いたんだ

愛する君の声が　どんな歌より聴きたくなった

なにを話しても　心はフワッと宙に浮いたまま

本当はもっとちゃんと

気の利いたことも言いたいんだ

でも難しくて　黙ったまんま見上げた秋の星空

遠く離れた君の街から僕に声が届いた

今すぐ会いに行けないことを切なく感じた

気づけば三時間！　自然と続いてしまう会話

一瞬で白んだ空　じゃあねと眠りについた

愛する君の声が

恋するだけの僕は

愛する君の声が　どんな歌より素敵なんだ

聴けば心が踊りだす　なんてステキな恋なんだ

愛する君の声はメロディ

恋する僕刻むメモリー

愛する君の声はメロディ

恋する僕刻むメモリー

愛する君の声はメロディ

恋する僕刻むメモリー

愛する君の声はメロディ

恋する僕刻むメモリー
