日本語原文 Japanese original
まだ見ぬ景色を貴方とみたい
まだ来ない未来を貴方とみたい
貴方と共に歩みたい
まだわからない事に
不安より希望を持ちたい
貴方は近づけぬオーラがある
だのに閉ざす貴方の心は氷？
いつか二人で笑いながら
まだ見ぬ景色を一緒にみたいのに

AI-assisted English translation. The Japanese original remains authoritative.
I want to see a landscape yet unseen with you.
I want to see a future yet to come with you.
I want to walk beside you.
Before what is still unknown,
I want to choose hope over fear.
There is an aura around you
that keeps me from drawing near.
And yet—is the heart you close away made of ice?
Someday, laughing together,
I want us to see that landscape yet unseen.
