日本語原文 Japanese original
さっきから見ていた君の口元
なんだか色っぽい
惹きつけられる大きな瞳
吸い込まれそうで不思議な感覚
自然と君を求めて僕は壊れそう
その笑顔も、その瞳も、その唇も
今夜こそ僕だけのものにしたい
君は僕の誘惑の天使
気取ったセリフ幾つ並べても
薄っぺらじゃだめだ
男はみんな君を放っておかない高嶺の花
君は思わせぶりにまた微笑む
僕をこんな気持ちにさせて・・・
その手に触れられそうで触れられない
まるで草原の蝶々、花畑で捕まえたい
君は酔ってフラフラ、フワフワ上の空
記憶はめぐるメリーゴーランド
お互いの古い傷も薄れていく
誰より、ほら僕を見て
突然の春の嵐のみたいに
全てを巻き上げて変えていく
風に揺れた長い髪をかきあげ
ほのかな君の香り、僕にだけ感じさせて
首に光るネックレスそんなのはずしてあげる
君は僕だけの誘惑の天使
金縛りみたいに動けない君をそっと抱いた
見上げた顔にキスをして
唇から伝わる僕と君の情熱
やっと僕だけの君
僕だけの誘惑な天使

Ever since I've been watching your lips
Something about them feels alluring
Your big eyes that draw me in
The strange sensation of being pulled in
Naturally, I'm falling apart wanting you
Your smile, your eyes, your lips
I want them all to be mine tonight
You are my angel of temptation
No matter how many polished lines you say
They're all too thin
All men can't leave you alone, you're a high mountain flower
You smile in a teasing way again
Putting me in such a feeling...
Feeling like I can touch your hand but can't
Like a butterfly on the grass, I want to catch you in the flower field
You're drunk, swaying, floating in the sky
Memories spin like a merry-go-round
Our old wounds are fading away
More than anyone, look at me
Like a sudden spring storm
You're lifting everything up and changing it all
Raise your long hair that's swaying in the wind
Let me feel your faint scent, only for me
Give me that necklace shining on your neck
You are my angel of temptation, mine alone
Gently holding you, who can't move like a golden chain
Kiss your face that's looking up
The passion passing from your lips to mine
Finally, you're mine
My Angel of Temptation
