“Aishiteru” to omou hodoThe more I think “I love you,”
Hana ga kare yuku no wa naze?why do the flowers keep withering away?
Komen ni utsutta kietsuThe joy reflected on the water’s surface,
Dare yori shiawase na no nieven though I’m happier than anyone else.

Nan datte shitai karaSince I want to do anything for you,
Enryo naku moushitsukete?won’t you tell me what you want without holding back?
“Kore wa yamete”?“Stop doing this”?
“Are mo dame”?“That’s not allowed either”?

Mado no mukou no noizuThe noise beyond the window
Yake ni urusai nais starting to get awfully loud.
