[English]

In my dreams, I feel your light

I feel love is born again

Fireflies in the moonlight

Rising stars

Remember the day I fell in love with you

Darling, won't you break my heart?

Take my hand now

Stay close to me

Be my lover

Won't you let me go?

Close your eyes now and you will see

There's a rainbow for you and me

...

As I wake up, I see your face

I feel love is born again

Cherry blossom

Flying birds in the sky

Can't you see the sun that is shining on the fields?

Is it shining in your heart?

Take my hand now

Stay close to me

Be my lover

Won't you let me go?

Close your eyes now, and you will see

There's a rainbow for you and me

...

And I dream of you every night

'Cause's there's only you in my mind

Will you be a stranger or a friend in my life?

Darling, won't you break my heart?

Take my hand now

Stay close to me

Be my lover

Won't you let me go?

Close your eyes now

And you will see

There's a rainbow for you and me

Take my hand now

Stay close to me

Be my lover

Won't you let me go

Close your eyes now

And you will see

There's a rainbow for you and me?

I got to take my rainbow

(Stay close to me) won't you stay close to me?

(Won't you let me go?) Won't you be my lover?

(And you will see) won't you let me go? (There's a rainbow)

For you and me
