[English]

LaLaLa LaLaLa

No one knows

Running through this nameless moment now

Reaching out toward that crescent moon

LaLaLa LaLaLa

I want to know you

A timid morning that's hard to voice

No matter how many times it greets me

The moment the umbilical cord snaps sharply

Feels like I've drifted away from the world

If the scenery reflected in my eyes laughs sadly

Close your eyes without fear and see

Come on! Everyone, this way

Follow where your heartbeat guides

Come on! Clap your heels

Move to where your heart dances

Come on! Ride the mirage

Master this upside-down world

LaLaLa LaLaLa

A spell wishing to know endless love

Beyond time, from dawn to night

LaLaLa LaLaLa

I want to know you

Trying not to miss a single thing

Time doesn’t wait for anyone

Cruel fate

Unopposable destiny

Without a moment to think

Crashed by a sandstorm

Even if I can't see ahead

I want to believe in you

If I take a step forward without fear

Come on! Everyone, this way

Follow where your heartbeat guides

Come on! Clap your heels

Move to where your heart dances

Come on! Everyone, this way

Follow where your heartbeat guides

Come on! Clap your heels

Move to where your heart dances

Come on! Hop aboard the flying whale

Dance until you master this upside-down world

LaLaLa LaLaLa

No one knows

Running through this nameless now

Reaching out toward that crescent moon

LaLaLa LaLaLa

I want to know you

A timid morning that struggles to become a voice

No matter how many times it greets me

If this is a dream, don’t wake up

Because reality’s too blunt and plain

Time doesn’t wait for anyone

[Japanese]

ララライ ララライ

誰も知らない

名も無い今を駆けてゆくの

あの三日月へ手を伸ばして

ララライ ララライ

君を知りたい

声に成らない 臆病な朝を

例え何度迎えようとも

臍の緒がパチンと切られたその瞬間

世界と逸れてしまったみたいだ

眼に写る景色が 悲しく笑うなら

恐れず瞼を閉じて御覧

さあ！ 皆さんこちらへ

どうぞ鼓動の鳴る方へ

さあ！ 踵を打ち鳴らせ

どうぞ心の踊る方へ

さあ！ 蜃気楼に飛び乗って

さかしまな世界乗り熟して

ララライ ララライ

止まない愛を知りたいと願う御呪い

時を超えて 朝から夜まで

ララライ ララライ

君を知りたい

何一つ見逃さぬように

時は誰も待ってくれないの

残酷な運命が

抗えぬ宿命が

考える間もなく

押し寄せ砂嵐で

前が見えなくたって

君を信じてみたいの

恐れずに一歩踏み出したら

さあ！ 皆さんこちらへ

どうぞ鼓動の鳴る方へ

さあ！ 踵を打ち鳴らせ

どうぞ心の踊る方へ

さあ！ 皆さんこちらへ

どうぞ鼓動の鳴る方へ

さあ！ 踵を打ち鳴らせ

どうぞ心の踊る方へ

さあ！ 空飛ぶ鯨に飛び乗って

さかしまな世界踊り尽くせ

ララライ ララライ

誰も知らない

名も無い今を 駆けてゆくの

あの三日月へ手を伸ばして

ララライ ララライ

君を知りたい

声にならない 臆病な朝を

例え何度迎えようとも

夢ならば 醒めないで

現実なんてさ 身も蓋もないから

時は誰も待ってくれないの
