[English]

そっと導かれるように

Softly, as if being guided,

まるで自然に キミに触れられた My Love

Almost naturally, I was able to touch you, my Love

重ねあった日々の中で

Within the days we've shared together

一緒にいたい それが答えなんだ

I just want to be with you—that’s the answer

だけど肝心な時にはいつでも 言葉は不意に心に隠れ黙ってた

But when it really matters, words suddenly hide in our hearts, silent

だから伝えたい 誓いたい

So I want to tell you, I want to vow

愛する人よ　My only one

My beloved, my only one

たった1つの1人と1人の出会いが

The encounter between just one and one

奇跡と呼びあえる Love story

Can be called a miracle—our love story

キミが笑う時 キミが迷う時

When you smile, when you hesitate,

そのすべてに僕がいる Oh

I’m there for all of it. Oh

I believe...　I believe...

I believe... I believe...

いつまでも

Forever and always

I believe...　I believe...

I believe... I believe...

You're the only one forever

You're the only one forever

きっと何度もすれ違った

Honestly, we probably kept missing each other many times

行き過ぎたわがままと馴れ合いの中で

In the midst of reckless selfishness and familiarity

愛し過ぎるほど何故か

Loving you so much, somehow

不安が付きまとうのはセオリー？

The more I love you, the more anxiety sneaks in—am I right?

だから昨日より 今日よりも明日

So from yesterday, today, to tomorrow—

キミが知る何よりも優しくなりたい

I want to be gentler than you’ve ever known

隣で眠るキミにキスして願う•••My only one

Kissing you sleeping beside me, I wish for... my only one

たった1つの1人と1人のこの道を

Walking this path with just one, one person, never letting go

手を離さずに歩こう

Let's walk together

慌ただしい街 忙しい日々

In this bustling city, busy days,

でもときめきはあるここにOh

But still, there’s a thrill here, oh

I believe...　I believe...

I believe... I believe...

どこまでも

Anywhere

I believe...　I believe...

I believe... I believe...

You're the only one forever

You're the only one forever

これは一瞬の出来事じゃなく幸せの幕開け

This isn’t just a fleeting moment—it's the beginning of happiness

小さな入り口の広大な世界を

Let's live together in this vast world, starting from this small door

共に生きよう

Let’s live this life together

I love you

I love you

たった1つの1人と1人の出会いが

The encounter between just one and one

奇跡と呼びあえる Love story

Can be called a miracle—our love story

キミが笑う時 キミが迷う時

When you smile, when you hesitate,

そのすべてに僕がいる Oh

I’m there for all of it. Oh

I believe...　I believe...

I believe... I believe...

You're the only one forever
