[English]

I've been in a good mood lately, don't know why

I want to sing this mood I'm in right now to you

Looking at the little stars outside the window, thinking about my secret

Not sure if it counts as love, I just know I'm thinking of you

The distance between us seems so far and yet so near

You're clearly not by my side, but I feel so close to you

Ha, there's a feeling I want to explain

The secret in my heart is the sweetness you give

The distance between us seems to be getting a little closer

Do you also have a special feeling for me?

Ha, I'm hesitating whether to tell you

The secret in my heart is that I think I've fallen for you

Even if the voice that accompanies me at night is hoarse, it's still lovely

This tired voice is the gentlest proof

The distance between us seems so far and yet so near

You're clearly not by my side, but I feel so close to you

Ha, there's a feeling I want to explain

The secret in my heart is the sweetness you give

The distance between us seems to be getting a little closer

Do you also have a special feeling for me?

Ha, I'm hesitating whether to tell you

The secret in my heart is that I think I've fallen for you

This ambiguous relationship is inexplicably beautiful

The distance between us seems to be getting a little closer

You're clearly not by my side, but I feel so close to you

Ha, at this moment I really want to explain

The secret in my heart is the sweetness you give

The distance between us gets a little closer every day

This is a special feeling that others can't understand

Ha, I want to make it clear to the whole world

The secret in my heart is that I will always love you deeply, deeply love you

[Chinese]

最近一直很好心情 不知道什麼原因

我現在這一種心情 我想要唱給你聽

看著窗外的小星星 心裡想著我的秘密

算不算愛我不太確定 我只知道我在想你

我們之間的距離 好像忽遠又忽近

你明明不在我身邊 我卻覺得很親

Ha 有一種感覺我想說明

我心裡的秘密 是你給的甜蜜

我們之間的距離好像一點點靠近

是不是你對我也有一種特殊感情

Ha 我猶豫要不要告訴你

我心裡的秘密是我好像喜歡了你

夜裡陪著我的聲音就算沙了也動聽

這一種累了的聲音是最溫柔的證明

我們之間的距離好像忽遠又忽近

你明明不在我身邊我卻覺得很親

Ha 有一種感覺我想說明

我心裡的秘密是你給的甜蜜

我們之間的距離好像一點點靠近

是不是你對我也有一種特殊感情

Ha 我猶豫要不要告訴你

我心裡的秘密是我好像喜歡了你

這模糊的關係是莫名的美麗

我們之間的距離好像一點點靠近

你明明不在我身邊我卻覺得很親

Ha 這一刻我真的想說明

我心裡的秘密是你給的甜蜜

我們之間的距離每天一點點靠近

這是種別人無法理解的特殊感情

Ha 我要讓全世界都清晰

我心裡的秘密是我會一直深愛著你 深愛著你
