Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

初めて君を見た 瞬間からずっと

Since the moment I first saw you, from that very time

心奪われて

My heart was stolen away

ドキドキが止まらないの

My heartbeat just won’t stop

声も顔もぜんぶ愛しくて

Your voice and face, all so precious to me

きらりハートが高鳴ってく

Sparkling hearts pounding high

恋はゆっくりと 時間をかけて

Love, I thought, takes time slowly

育てていくものだと思っていたけど

To grow and nurture

このトキメキを抑えようとすると

But when I try to hold back this thrill

余計に意識しちゃうんだ

I just end up feeling it more intensely

君に一目惚れ

I fell in love at first sight with you

初めて出逢ったあの日から

Since the day we first met

恋しくて愛しい想い

Missing you, feeling so dear

捧げるラブソング

I dedicate this love song

他愛もない日々も

Every trivial day, too

晴れ渡れ青春

Clear and bright, my youth

いま逢いにいく

I’ll come to see you now

いまI need you

I need you now

ずっと僕のそばにいて

Stay forever by my side

勇気を出して 話しかけた日

The day I gathered courage to talk to you

ふいに振り向く

You suddenly turn around

君に見惚れてしまうよ

I get mesmerized by you

少しだけ時間が止まった気がした

It felt like time just stopped for a moment

このまま止まっちゃえばいいのに

I wish it could freeze just like this

髪型もコーデもバッチリ決まった日は

On days I’ve got my hair and outfit all perfect

誰よりも何よりも 君に見せたくて

More than anyone, more than anything, I want to show you

もう止められない

I can't stop anymore

『すき』って気持ち

This feeling of “I love you”

キミイロに染まっていくよ

Is dyeing into your color

君に一目惚れ

I fell in love at first sight with you

初めて出逢ったあの日から

Since the day we first met

恋しくて愛しい想い

Missing you, feeling so dear

捧げるラブソング

I dedicate this love song

他愛もない日々も

Every trivial day, too

晴れ渡れ青春

Clear and bright, my youth

いま逢いにいく　いまI need you

I’ll come to see you now, I need you now

ずっと僕のそばにいて
