Time Works Wonders

• By: 東方神起

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

晴れ渡る空に 吐息ひとつ落としたら

As I exhale under the clear sky

意地を張ったことが 馬鹿らしく思えてきたんだ

Thinking about how stubborn I was, I realize it was so foolish

時間がお互いを 素直にしてくれたなら

If time can make us honest with each other

So, Come on! Come on! Come on! Let me hug you

So, Come on! Come on! Come on! Let me hug you

もう一度君の その手を掴んで ぐっと抱き寄せたいよ

I want to hold your hand again and pull you close

僕らは 解り合える

We can understand each other

Na na na, Time works wonders

Na na na, Time works wonders

雑踏の隙間に君を見たなら 駆け寄っていけるだろうか？

If I see you in the crowded gap, I wonder if I could run over to you?

何度だってイメージした 眠れないくらい

No matter how many times I imagine it, I can't sleep because of it

時が流れて この胸の痛み忘れてしまえたら

If time passes and I forget this pain in my chest

So, Hello! Hello! Hello! Tell me your mind

So, Hello! Hello! Hello! Tell me your mind

いつかは君の その眼を見つめて 愛を確かめたいよ

Someday I want to look into your eyes and confirm our love

そうきっと 許し合える

Surely, we can forgive each other

Na na na, Time works wonders

Na na na, Time works wonders

Na na na, Time works wonders （So, It could be all right）

Na na na, Time works wonders (So, It could be all right)

僕がした

That’s what I did
