急に不機嫌になることがあります

I might suddenly become moody

わけを聞いても

Even if you ask why

答えないくせにほっとくと怒ります

I won't answer, but if you leave me alone, I'll get angry

いつもごめんね

I'm always sorry

でも、そんな時は懲りずに

But during those times, don't give up

とことん付き合ってあげましょう

Let's stick together to the end

定期的に褒めると長持ちします

If you compliment me regularly, I'll last longer

爪がきれいとか

Like saying my nails are pretty

小さな変化にも気づいてあげましょう

Notice even the small changes

ちゃんと見ていて

Make sure to pay attention

でも、太ったとか余計なことは

But if I gain weight or something unnecessary

気づかなくていいからね

You don't need to notice that

もしも、少し古くなってきて

If I start to feel a bit outdated

目移りするときは

And you start to look around

二人が初めて出会った

Remember the day we first met

あの日を思い出してね

Think back to that day

これからもどうぞよろしくね

I look forward to our future together

こんな私だけど笑って許してね

I may be like this, but please forgive me with a smile

ずっと大切にしてね

Always cherish me

永久保証の私だから

Because I'm your lifetime guarantee

...

...

意外と一輪の花にも

Surprisingly, even a single flower

キュンとします

Can make my heart flutter

何でもない日の

A little gift on an ordinary day

ちょっとしたプレゼントが効果的です

Is very effective

センスは大事

Sense is important

でも、短くても下手でも

But even if it's short or clumsy

手紙が1番嬉しいものよ

A letter makes me the happiest

もしも、涙に濡れてしまったら

If I get wet with tears

優しく拭きとって

Gently wipe them away

ぎゅっと、強く抱きしめて

Hold me tight and strong

あなたにしか治せないから

Because only you can heal me

これからもどうぞよろしくね

I look forward to our future together

こんな私だけど笑ってうなずいて

I may be like this, but please nod and smile

ずっと、大切にしてね

Always cherish me

永久保証の私だから

Because I'm your lifetime guarantee

たまには旅行にもつれてって

Sometimes take me on a trip

記念日にはおしゃれなディナーを

On anniversaries, let's have a fancy dinner

柄じゃないと言わず

Don't say it's not your style

かっこ良くエスコートして

Escort me coolly

広い心と深い愛で

With a big heart and deep love

全部受け止めて

Embrace it all

...

...

これからもどうぞよろしくね

I look forward to our future together

こんな私だけど笑って許してね

I may be like this, but please forgive me with a smile

ずっと、大切にしてね

Always cherish me

永久保証の私だから

Because I'm your lifetime guarantee
