日本語原文 Japanese original
見つめる瞳と瞳
言葉はいらない
ときめく胸
あなたと二人
時空を超えて異空間に漂う蜃気楼
秘密の約束またひとつ
胸の鼓動は素直に
ドキドキ高鳴る
そっとキスしてください
甘くとろける心地
満たされたハート
でも苦しくて息出来ないほど
ハートのドキドキがあなたに聞こえそうではにかむ
伸ばした指先が触れあい握りしめた手と手
あなたの手の温もり
あなたの力強さ
あなたの香りに酔いしれて離れられない

Romance
Nao Takatori
Looking into each other's eyes
No words are needed
A fluttering heart
You and I
A mirage drifting through a different space and time
A secret promise once more
My heart beats honestly
Thumping, thumping, high
Please kiss me softly
A sweet, melting feeling
A heart filled up
But so painfully sweet that I can't breathe
My pounding heart seems loud enough for you to hear
My fingertips stretched out meet yours, clasped in your hands
Your hand's warmth
Your strength
I'm drunk on your scent and can't let go
