[English]

What is happiness? I used to ask that question.

You showed me the answer.

"We just don't realize how precious these moments are."

You, you, always beside me, giving warmth and kindness.

It's not something to take for granted.

This time, I decided to give that love back to you.

I thought this night would go on forever,

but I understood here, in this place,

that I can love my life enough to be proud of it.

You, always, that's right, you, with your hands,

hold me close, no regrets, no mistakes.

They turn into irreplaceable colors and I can move forward again.

Oh, oh... Even on freezing days,

Oh, oh... Even on broken days, eyye.

Oh, oh... In any moment,

You are always by my side.

It feels so good, our honest hearts.

Being able to say anything to each other. We have a good relationship.

I want to share this overflowing love with you.

Let's make that bud bloom again.

We laughed and named those anxious nights as forever.

You, you, you, you, you gave me the key.

You, you, you, you, opening the door to tomorrow.

I thought this night would go on forever,

but I understood here, in this place,

that I can love my life enough to be proud of it.

You, always, that's right, you, with your hands,

hold me close, no regrets, no mistakes.

They turn into irreplaceable moments and I can move forward again.

Oh, oh... Even on freezing days,

Oh, oh... Even on broken days, eyye.

Oh, oh... In any moment,

Oh, oh... And again, I'm running.

You, always, that's right, you, with your hands,

hold me close, no regrets, no mistakes.

They turn into irreplaceable colors and I can move forward again.

Oh, oh... Even on freezing days,

Oh, oh... Even on broken days, eyye.

Oh, oh... In any moment,

You are always by my side.

教えてくれたよね

「この瞬間が愛しいと 気付けないだけ」

You you いつも側で優しさぬくもりくれた
