[English]

The fleeting beauty of snow falling silently

Footprints now align on the silvery carpet

We no longer feel lonely

If we look into each other's faces,

we’re somehow filled with a warm feeling

The undeniable love that was born from everything we’ve shared

Won't be defeated by any cold

We'll light up tomorrow

A flame full of hope

It will never extinguish

No matter how many blizzards we face

Snowlight guides the way

We'll light up tomorrow

Without letting the love in our hearts fade

On a frozen night, like the end of everything - if you smile,

it suddenly lights up the world, and I feel the start of a new day

Though we are different from each other,

there's no hesitation now

We can keep dreaming the same dream, just like this

The gaps and misunderstandings we’ve come to realize through everything

have shown me that I need you

I'll keep running, more and more

The rising temperature

The rough path that stood in our way

A magic that melts it all

Snowlight announces the beginning

I'll keep running, more and more

Without letting the love in our hearts fade

The seasons we've passed gave me the certainty

No matter what the future holds, it will shine

We'll light up tomorrow

A flame full of hope

It will never extinguish

No matter how many blizzards we face

Snowlight guides the way

We'll light up tomorrow

Without letting the love in our hearts fade
