[English]

Look, the sunset is setting earlier now

There are more nights that make you think a little

I’ve started to miss the hot, humid summer weather

You, chasing your dreams, are wonderful

Was that kiss just an act?

Lying together on a pure white rose

I wish we could stay like this, that would be wonderful

In the passing time, love that’s grown

Hopes it will someday be fulfilled

...

Flowers blooming on the street, buried in snow

Is there love in those mistakes?

That was a truly beautiful full moon night

You, drifting away from yourself, are wonderful

Time's passing feels so limited

Those joyful days filled with laughter are long gone

But even such days, spring comes again for a moment

It’s okay, we’ll meet again, just say so

Someday, so I won’t cry

Gently mimicking your smile

I tried to imitate it seriously, but

I just can't understand it

It’s just that you appeared

...

Lying together on a pure white rose

I wish we could stay like this, that would be wonderful

In the passing time, love that’s grown

Hopes it will someday be fulfilled

Those joyful days filled with laughter are long gone

But even such days, spring comes again for a moment

It’s okay, we’ll meet again, just say so

Someday, so I won’t cry

...

[Japanese]

ご覧 夕日が沈むのが早くなりました

少し考えちゃう様な 夜が増えました

夏の蒸し暑い気候が 恋しくなりました

夢を追いかけてる 君は素敵です

あの口付けはお芝居でしょうか

真っ白な薔薇の上で二人 寝転んで

このままでいられたら素敵でいいのに

過ぎ去ってく時間の中 育んだ愛は

何時か 成就します様に

路上に咲いた花 雪に埋れてく

その間違いには 愛がありますか

それはそれは美しい満月の晩でした

自分を離れてく 君は素敵です

時の移ろいは 有限みたいだ

楽しくて笑っていた 日々はもう昔

そんな日も 束の間にまた春が来る

大丈夫さ また会えるよ そう言っておくれ

何時か 泣かない様に

君の笑い方をそっと

本気で真似てみたけど

私には理解できない

君が現れただけ

真っ白な薔薇の上で二人 寝転んで

このままでいられたら素敵でいいのに

過ぎ去ってく時間の中 育んだ愛は

何時か 成就します様に

楽しくて笑っていた 日々はもう昔

そんな日も 束の間にまた春が来る

大丈夫さ また会えるよ そう言っておくれ

何時か 泣かない様に
