Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

迷いの森にあるほんとう

The truth in the forest of confusion

探しに行く月のひかり

I go searching for the moonlight

羊歯を踏んで足を濡らして

Stepping on ferns, wetting my feet

ひたりほとり夏の小道

Along the summer path

よく笑って泣いて見つめあって

Laughing and crying, gazing at each other

おそるおそる恋に堕ちた

Cautiously falling in love

ふたり歩き出した違う方へ

We started walking in different directions

呼び合う声だけもどかしく

Only our calling voices are frustrating

Find me in the wonderland

Find me in the wonderland

...

...

そろそろ手を汚して

そろそろ手を汚して

自分の欲しいものを

It's time to get my hands dirty

追いかけてみる

Chasing after what I desire

みつあみをほどいて

I’ll try to pursue it

同じ星を齧る

Unraveling my braid

ふたりになる

We’ll bite into the same star

寂しがって夜になって

Becoming one

まだ明るい夢のほとり

Feeling lonely as night falls

食べかけで残した心だって

Even the heart left half-eaten

ここから始まるうたになる

Will become a song that starts from here

世界は君のものさ、どこへ行こうか、貴方は笑う

The world is yours, where shall we go? You smile

踏み外してみようか、後ろめたさが私を誘う

Shall we try to step off the path? Guilt is tempting me

Find me in the wonderland

Find me in the wonderland

...

...

Wonderland

Wonderland

どうしたって

No matter what

生まれ変わるほどの

It takes a strong will

強い意志が必要だわ

To be reborn

慎重ないのちだった

It was a cautious life

私だけじゃ道は見つからない

I can't find the way alone

星を数え繋ぎ合わせ

Counting stars and connecting them

まだ知らない夏の星座

The summer constellations I still don't know

見つめあって泣いて朝になって

Gazing at each other, crying until morning

ここから始まる物語

This story begins from here

もう一人じゃないのよ、夢のようでしょ、私は歌う

I'm not alone anymore, it feels like a dream, I will sing

寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う

Loneliness turns into a flag, and we gather under it

何も思い通りにならないことが始まったから

Since nothing goes as planned has begun

踏み外してみようか、目隠し鬼の手の鳴る方へ

Shall we try to step off the path? Towards the sound of the blindfolded demon's hand

In your wonderland

In your wonderland

...

...

あなたが迷う場所に

To light up the place where you wander

あかりを灯すために

Holding a bouquet

花束一つ抱いて

Let’s laugh gallantly

りりしく笑いましょう

りりしく笑いましょう

もう一人じゃないのよ、とても怖いね、幸せなんて

I'm not alone anymore, it’s very scary, this happiness

寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う

Loneliness turns into a flag, and we gather under it

世界は君のものさ、手が届いてあなたがいて

The world is yours, I can reach you

踏み外してみようか、愛するひとが私を誘う

Shall we try to step off the path? The one I love is inviting me

Find me in the wonderland

Find me in the wonderland

In your wonderland

In your wonderland

...

...

綺麗な吐息になって

Becoming a beautiful breath

あなたの歌をうたって

Singing your song

...

...
