I’m Not an Angel Lyrics Translation – Mahiru Shiina(Cv.Manaka Iwami)
The narrator asks a simple question, ‘Even if I’m not an angel, is it okay for me to stay by your side?’. She mentions glancing at the clock and wanting to lock the door to their shared room, a heaven for two. The songwriter builds this world from small, physical moments that show deep affection.
