[English]

Do you remember the times we shared, L.O.V.E LUV

It used to thrill me, everything was L.O.V.E LUV back then

Now I sometimes think of those days, L.O.V.E LUV

Can't we turn back time?

I can't believe it, our story that’s long gone now

...

(MY LOVE) On those exhausting, long days

(MY LOVE) I had no one to lean on (L.O.V.E LUV)

Even for a moment,

I just want to rely on someone and cry, yeah

Those times when you and I weren’t afraid

Whenever we held hands, yeah

If only you were here, just you by my side

The day I needed nothing else, do you remember?

Do you remember the times we shared, L.O.V.E LUV

...

(MY LOVE) Among countless faces I keep meeting

(MY LOVE) I guess I slowly forget, right? (L.O.V.E LUV)

But still, when I think of those times

Only smiles come to mind, yeah

Those happy times with you and I

Whenever we faced each other, yeah

If only you trust me, just you

The one who gave me strength in the world, that was you

Do you remember the times we shared, L.O.V.E LUV

It used to thrill me, everything was L.O.V.E LUV back then

Now I sometimes think of those days, L.O.V.E LUV

Can't we turn back time?

I can't believe it, our story that’s long gone now

...

(Do you miss me?)

(Do you miss me?)

(I miss you)

You remain somewhere in my memories, as a cherished memory

...
