[English]

It’s time to wake up

Were you waiting for this? (Let’s go!)

We’re right here now

We’re right here now

We’re right here now

We’re right here now

Yeah

SOS, don’t let it slip away

Scanning the noise surrounding you

Breaking through the walls that obstruct

“I’m gonna interfere” with your life

There’s no time to rust

Pulling you close, locked on

Even if “the future” is the enemy, don’t worry

I’m here in “the now”

Yeah, in front of you

System Flash Flash

The most inexplicable smile ever, Your smile

My heart immediately goes Crash Crash

I won’t accept anyone else

The touch of your fingertips, your temperature

My emotions melt away

A burning impulse I can’t put into words

Is raging inside me

Anxiety and hesitation

I’m going to delete them

This world’s abnormality [bug]

I’ll destroy it and update with a kiss

“...I came to protect you”

SAVE YOUR HEART

Rev up the beat

You are my Power

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

SAVE YOUR HEART

A crimson heart beat

This Love is beyond calculation

Turn up!

Ohhh

My feelings are Stronger

Ohhh

It will never break down

Ohhh

This love’s Program

Ohhh

I’ll protect you, Just You

A mysterious unsolved code

The answer is within my heart

I’ll complete your “happiness”

Because this isn’t “coincidence”

「偶然」なんかじゃない

It has to be “destiny”

This feeling is breaking records

Love has no capacity

Fear and pain

I’m going to rewrite them

This world’s miracle [bug]

I’ll love it fiercely and update the present

Break

I can feel you no matter where I am

My vow will never waver

Even if distance separates us

It can’t be broken, by anyone

“...I want to protect you”

SAVE YOUR HEART

Rev up the beat

You are my Power

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

SAVE YOUR HEART

A crimson heart beat

This Love is beyond calculation

Turn up!

Ohhh

My feelings are Stronger

Ohhh

It will never break down

Ohhh

This love’s Program

Ohhh

I’ll protect you, Just You

[Japanese]

It’s time to wake up

We’re right here now

(We’re right here now)

Key Grammar Structures

• 待ってたんだろ? (Matteta ndaro?)

  ➔ Past progressive with question particle

  ➔ This uses the past progressive tense (～ていた) to indicate an action continuing up to the present, combined with 'んだろ' which adds a nuance of seeking confirmation or expecting agreement. It's like saying 'You've been waiting, haven't you?' The 'んだ' part implies the speaker already assumes it's true.

• 阻む[ルビ:はば]壁を突破し (Habamu kabe o toppa shi)

  ➔ Verb compounding and transitive verb usage

  ➔ This sentence features '突破する (toppa suru)' which is a compound verb meaning 'to break through'. '阻む (habamu)' is a verb meaning 'to obstruct' and acts as a rendaku verb modifying '壁 (kabe - wall)'. The 'を' particle marks '壁' as the direct object of '突破する'.

• 「未来」が敵でも心配すんな (Mirai ga teki demo shinpai sunna)

  ➔ Conditional 'demo' and negative command

  ➔ 'でも (demo)' functions as 'even if' or 'though' here, creating a conditional clause. '心配すんな (shinpai sunna)' is a very casual, masculine negative command meaning 'Don't worry'. The 'んな' ending is a colloquial shortening of 'するな'.

• 君以外受付けない (Kimi igai uketsukenai)

  ➔ Exclusionary 'igai' and negative potential form

  ➔ '君以外 (kimi igai)' means 'other than you' or 'except for you'. '受付けない (uketsukenai)' is the negative potential form of '受ける (ukeru - to accept)', meaning 'cannot accept' or 'will not accept'. The whole phrase means 'I won't accept anyone else'.

• この世界の異常[ルビ:バグ]を ブチ壊してキスで Update (Kono sekai no ijou [ruby: bagu] o buchi kowashite kisu de Update)

  ➔ Use of 'o' particle, onomatopoeia, and katakana loanword

  ➔ The 'を' particle marks '異常 (ijou - abnormality/bug)' as the direct object of '壊す (kowasu - to break)'. 'ブチ壊す (buchi kowasu)' is an emphatic way of saying 'to completely break'. 'Update' is a katakana loanword from English. The sentence structure is 'break the bug and update with a kiss'.
