DAN DAN Kokoro Hikareteku

• By: FIELD OF VIEW

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

DANDAN 心魅かれてく その眩しい笑顔に

Gradually, I’m captivated by your dazzling smile

果てない闇から飛び出そう hold my hand

Let’s break free from this endless darkness, hold my hand

君と出会ったとき 子供の頃 大切に想っていた場所を思い出したんだ

When I met you, I remembered the place I cherished since childhood

僕と踊ってくれないか

Won't you dance with me?

光と影の winding road 今でもあいつに夢中なの

The winding road of light and shadow, I’m still crazy about her

少しだけ 振り向きたくなるような時もあるけど

Sometimes I want to look back just a little, but

愛と勇気と誇りを持って戦うよ

I’ll fight with love, courage, and pride

...

...

DANDAN 心魅かれてく この星の希望のかけら

Gradually, I’m captivated by your heart, a shard of hope for this planet

...

...

きっと誰もが永遠を手に入れたい

Surely everyone wants to hold onto eternity

ZENZEN 気にしないフリしても ほら君に恋してる

Even if I pretend I don’t care, see, I’m falling in love with you

果てない闇からとびだそう hold your hand

Let’s jump out from this endless darkness, hold your hand

...

...

怒った顔も疲れてる君も好きだけど

I like your angry face and your tired one too, but

あんなに飛ばして生きて大丈夫かなと思う

I wonder if it’s okay to live life rushing like that

僕は 何気ないしぐさに振り回されてる sea side blue

I get caught up in your casual gestures, sea side blue

それでもあいつに夢中なの

Still, I’m crazy about her

もっと聞きたいことがあったのに

I wanted to ask you more, but

二人の会話は車の音に阻まれて通りに舞うよ

Our conversations are drowned out by the car’s sound, floating down the street

DANDAN 心魅かれてく 自分でも不思議なんだけど

Gradually, I’m captivated by your heart, it’s strange even to me

何かあるとすぐに君に電話したくなる

Whenever something happens, I want to call you immediately

ZENZEN 気のないフリしても 結局君のことだけ見てた

Even if I pretend I’m indifferent, I’m only looking at you

海の彼方へ 飛び出そうよ hold my hand

Let’s jump beyond the sea, hold my hand

怒った顔も疲れてる君も好きだけど

I like your angry face and your tired one too, but

あんなに飛ばして生きて大丈夫かなと思う

I wonder if it’s okay to live life rushing like that

僕は 何気ないしぐさに振り回されてる sea side blue

I get caught up in your casual gestures, sea side blue

それでもあいつに夢中なの

Still, I’m crazy about her

もっと聞きたいことがあったのに

I wanted to ask you more, but

二人の会話は車の音に阻まれて通りに舞うよ

Our conversations are drowned out by the car’s sound, floating down the street

DANDAN 心魅かれてく 自分でも不思議なんだけど

Gradually, I’m captivated by your heart, it’s strange even to me

何かあるとすぐに君に電話したくなる

Whenever something happens, I want to call you immediately

ZENZEN 気のないフリしても 結局君のことだけ見てた

Even if I pretend I’m indifferent, I’m only looking at you

海の彼方へ 飛び出そうよ hold my hand

Let’s jump beyond the sea, hold my hand

...
