[English]

Show me even more of how much you like me, tell me even more

Weaving our Love Story

If we piece together unrequited love

From here, see, our special love begins

Everlasting love, just for you

You are the only one, my special

Everlasting love, just for you

You are the only one, my special

Love strikes suddenly, out of the blue

I can't hide my heartbeat

No matter what kind of love it is

We can overcome everything

Let's rewrite and move forward

Your smile forever (Next to you)

I imagine just keeping you all to myself (Thinking about you)

I can't stop it

Almost unrequited love, it's not a lie

My overflowing feelings, I love you

Show me even more of how much you like me, tell me even more

Weaving our Love Story (Love Story)

Even the ordinary scenery, see, if you're beside me it’s precious

When you're next to me, I cherish you

Holding each other, sharing kisses, let's make a promise

If we tightly match the invisible red thread

From here, see, our special love begins

I don’t want it to only be in my dreams

Even when I wake up, you're always

I want you to look at only me and smile, not someone else

Today I will surely tell you my honest feelings

Show me even more of how much you like me, tell me even more

Weaving our Love Story

Even the tears or tough times

We can definitely overcome everything

Let's rewrite it all

Holding each other, sharing kisses, making a promise

If we tightly match the invisible red thread

From here, see, our special kiss begins

Everlasting love, just for you

You are the only one, my special

Everlasting love, just for you

You are the only one, my special
