[English]

When I met you, my entire today gained meaning.

I'm not very smart, but maybe I’m a genius.

Because I finally understood why the world is so beautiful.

For example, if you were at the corner ahead of me...

Just thinking that makes me feel like opening a present.

Whether I’m crying or angry, I want to be the closest to you.

No matter how dirty things are, I’ll hold you tight.

Baby, I love you. Baby, I love you.

The reason I woke up today is to smile with you.

...

Even if I keep drawing the short straw, being with you makes me the winner.

This is what I like; I can't be beaten by anything else.

The world is just soap bubbles that haven’t vanished by luck.

I can easily become honest; it’s built into me to do so.

No matter what the weather forecast says, I’m sunny because you are the sun.

Until the day my body becomes an exoskeleton, I’ll hold you close.

Baby, I love you. Baby, I love you.

When I met you, my entire today gained meaning.

If I fall asleep again, I might never wake up.

The reason I shine now is probably some kind of trick.

If I wake up again, you might not be here.

Let me hear your voice.

Baby, I love you.

The goal of an argument is to make up; we’ll walk together hand in hand.

Someday, if I become an exoskeleton, let’s meet up and wait for each other.

Baby, I love you. Baby, I love you.

The reason yesterday became so precious is because you were there.

Whether I’m crying or angry, I want to be the closest to you.

No matter how far apart, I’ll hold the universe to keep you close.

Baby, I love you. Baby, I love you.

Tomorrow will come again because I want to live with you.

My entire today gained meaning.

[Japanese]

君と会った時　僕の今日までが意味を貰ったよ

頭良くないけれど　天才なのかもしれないよ

世界がなんでこんなにも　美しいのか分かったから

例えば　曲がり角　その先に君がいたら

そう思うだけでもう　プレゼント開ける前の気分

泣いていても怒っていても　一番近くにいたいよ

なんだよそんな汚れくらい　丸ごと抱きしめるよ

ベイビーアイラブユーだぜ　ベイビーアイラブユーだ

ちゃんと今日も目が覚めたのは　君と笑うためなんだよ

ハズレくじばかりでも　君といる僕が一等賞

僕はこれが良いんだ　何と比べても負けないんだ

世界はシャボン玉で　運良く消えていないだけ

すぐ素直になれるよ　それが出来るように出来ている

天気予報どんな時も　僕は晴れ　君が太陽

この体　抜け殻になる日まで　抱きしめるよ

ベイビーアイラブユーだぜ　ベイビーアイラブユーだ

君と会った時　僕の今日までが意味を貰ったよ

もう一度眠ったら　起きられないかも

今が輝くのは　きっと　そういう仕掛け

もう一度起きたら　君がいないかも

声を聞かせてよ

ベイビーアイラブユーだぜ

ケンカのゴールは仲直り　二人三脚で向かうよ

いつの日か　抜け殻になったら　待ち合わせしようよ

ベイビーアイラブユーだぜ　ベイビーアイラブユーだ

昨日が愛しくなったのは　そこにいたからなんだよ

泣いていても怒っていても　一番近くにいたいよ

どんなに遠く離れても　宇宙ごと抱きしめるよ

ベイビーアイラブユーだぜ　ベイビーアイラブユーだ

明日がまた訪れるのは　君と生きるためなんだよ

僕の今日までが意味を貰ったよ
