[English]

Baby

The person I was that day, the person you were that day

What were you feeling? Oh oh oh baby

Oh baby

To the top of ten, I send this feeling

Once and again

Ah Baby

Chasing after it, without hesitation

Once and again, I keep singing, Hey Hey

Now I understand, so

My girlhood was just a child, no more

The moment I tore it up, I was always looking down, yeah eh eh

Closing the door to the dreams I chased, no more, no way

Lying to myself, putting a period on everything, woah

Looking up at that evening sky

Just reach out a little more, let’s dive

We will dive to the sky

These days I can't do anything about, Baby

The unending rain, I’m right here

Just look forward without lowering my head, yeah yeah yeah

Step forward, hey oh

I'm not alone, you know, ah baby

I can't be strong all the time, oohh

It’s okay, surely

Aiming for that sky where a rainbow appears, come on

Baby

Oh baby

To the top of ten, I send this feeling, oh oh oh baby

Oh baby

Lover, lover, lo lo lo lover

To you, living strongly alone, I realized I can't lose

I want to reach you, for you

Questioning myself, yeah eh eh eh

Always want to live without forgetting my smile

Smiling today too, it’s okay, definitely woah

The pink sky stains beautifully

With the magic you gave me, let’s dive

We will dive to the sky

Unable to hold back, Baby

Overflowing tears, I’m right here

Gently in my heart, yeah yeah yeah

Tucking it away, hey oh

If you look up, see, ah baby

The smiling face floating up, oohh

Is dazzling forever

Connecting feelings under the sky, now, come on

Baby

The unbreakable You and I, close your eyes

It’s okay, remember promises and memories, oh oh oh baby

Hands overlapping, oh oh oh baby

Experience and then towards the future

Because I won't forget

Hey hey, thank you

Certainly from now on, for us, for us, for us

The days I can't control

The unending rain

Just keep going without looking down

Step forward, hey oh

I'm not alone, sure, ah baby

I can't be strong all the time, oohh

It’s okay, surely
