Japanese

ヤワなハートがしびれる ここちよい針のシゲキ
理由もないのに輝く それだけが愛のしるし
いつか あなたには
すべて 打ち明けよう

少し強くなるために
壊れたボートで 一人 漕いで行く

夢の中でもわかる めくるめく夜の不思議

ただの思い出と
風が囁いても

嬉し泣きの宝物
何でもありそうな国で ただひとつ

ヤワなハートがしびれる ここちよい針のシゲキ
理由もないのに輝く それだけが愛のしるし
それだけで愛のしるし

Transliteration

Yawana ha-to ga shibireru kokochi yoi hari no shigeki
Wake mo nai no ni kagayaku sore dake ga ai no shirushi

Itsuka anata ni wa
Subete uchi akeyou
Sukoshi tsuyoku naru tame ni
Kowareta bo-to de hitori koide yuku

Yume no naka demo wakaru mekuru meku yoru no fushigi

Tada no omoide to
Kaze ga sasayaite mo

Ureshi naki no takara mono
Nan demo ari souna kuni de tada hitotsu

Yawana ha-to ga shibireru kokochi yoi hari no shigeki
Wake mo nai no ni kagayaku sore dake ga ai no shirushi
Sore dake de ai no shirush

Translation

A soft heart goes numb
Comfortable stimulus of the needs
It shines without reason
That's the only sign of love

Some day
I will open my mind to you

In order to become a little stronger
I row a broken boat alone

I can tell even in my dreams about the dazzling mysterious night

It's just a memory
Even it the wind whispers

The treasure cry for joy
Only one in the country that seems to have it all

A soft heart goes numb
Comfortable stimulus of the needs
It shines without reason
That's the only sign of love
That's sufficient as a sign of love
