Here is a place for the two of us,
a place called peace.
When I am with you,
even an ordinary road
becomes a road that stirs my heart.
When I am with you,
even an ordinary day
becomes a special anniversary.
A place for the two of us—
warm and comfortable,
a place filled with happiness.
A place for the two of us—
a place always precious to us.
