[English]

Casually, time flows

Until that day, and then it arrived

With heavy footsteps

Lured by a sweet scent

My body sways to the piercing sound

I had a premonition

As if I knew we would meet

Now I'm becoming captivated

It's a thrilling passion

Slipping in, stealing my gaze

Look, it's still dazzling

Oh, I'm becoming captivated

By that enchanting passion

Even the little devil that slipped in

Look, it's starting to dance, already

It's a whirlwind of laughter

Even if I close my eyes, I remember again

A light so strong it makes me dizzy

With words that fall short

That's the charm of your eyes

...

...

Since that day, time has

Become heavy and started to stop

The second hand hesitates, enchanted by that day's magic

Surely

My heart can't take it

Feelings boil over

So much so that it seems

It's not a misunderstanding

The hesitant second hand is in a rush

Before it starts to rewind

Every time I turn away, my body sways

I had a premonition

As if it knew how to escape

Again, I'm becoming captivated

It's a thrilling passion

Slipping in, stealing my gaze

Look, it's still dazzling

Oh, I'm becoming captivated

By that enchanting passion

Even the little devil that slipped in

Look, it's starting to dance, already

...

Those eyes release a chill that numbs my body

I had a premonition

If I look back, time moves forward

As if to fall

Now I'm becoming captivated

It's a thrilling passion

Slipping in, stealing my gaze

Look, it's still dazzling

Oh, I'm becoming captivated

By that enchanting passion

Even the little devil that slipped in

Look, it's starting to dance, already

It's a whirlwind of laughter

Even if I close my eyes, I remember again

A light so strong it makes me dizzy

With words that fall short

That's the charm of your eyes

...

[Japanese]

さりげなく時は

あの日まで流れ、着いた

鈍い足取りは

甘い香りに誘われて

突き刺す音で体が揺れる

予感がした

まるで出会うことを知ってたかのように

今虜になっていく

それはトキメクパッションで

滑り込んで、瞳奪っていく

ほらまだ眩しいよ

あれ、虜になっていく

あの魅惑のパッションに

滑り込んできた小悪魔も

ほら、踊り出して、もう

それは、目まぐるしく笑い

目を塞いでも、また思い出すように

眩暈がするほど強い光

言葉足らずの

それは瞳惚れ

あの日から時は

重くなり止まり出した

迷う秒針はあの日の魔法に惑わされ

きっと

心がもたないね

煮詰まり思いが噴き出て

しまいそうなほど

見間違いじゃないね

迷う秒針が焦って

巻き戻り出す前に

背けるたびに体が揺れる

予感がした

それは逃げることを知ってたかのように

また虜になっていく

それはトキメクパッションで

滑り込んで、瞳奪っていく

ほらまだ眩しいよ

あれ、虜になっていく

あの魅惑のパッションに

滑り込んできた小悪魔も

ほら、踊り出して もう

その瞳放つ、風邪で体が痺れる

予感がした

振り返れば時が進んでく

落ちるように

今虜になっていく

それはトキメクパッションで

滑り込んで、瞳奪っていく

ほらまだ眩しいよ

あれ、虜になっていく

あの魅惑のパッションに

滑り込んできた小悪魔も

ほら、踊り出して、もう

それは、目まぐるしく笑い

目を塞いでも、また思い出すように

眩暈がするほど強い光

言葉足らずの

それは瞳惚れ
