[English]

What are you looking at?

The Milky Way inside those eyes

Don’t hide it

Hey, I love you

Right from the moment we met

I instantly started liking you

While laughing innocently

Suddenly showing that sad profile

Lies, scandals, and meanness

Seem to be bullying this town

But still, I

Can only believe you

It’s almost like magic

Who are you looking at?

The Milky Way inside those eyes

Always shining brightly

Ah, I want to protect you

...

[Japanese]

何を見ているの

その瞳の奥にあるミルキーウェイ

かげらせたりしないで

ねぇ あなたを愛してる

出会った瞬間にすぐ

あなたのことを好きになった

無邪気に笑いながら

ふいに見せる悲しいプロフィール

嘘と事件と意地悪ばかりが

この街をいじめているみたい

それでも私

あなただけは信じられる

不思議なくらいに

誰を見ているの

その瞳の奥にあるミルキーウェイ

いつも輝くように

ああ 守ってあげたい
