目 に 見えない から アイ なんて 信じない
Me ni mienai    kara ai    nante shinjinai
I can't see it with my eyes, so I don't believe in love
そうやって 自分  を  ごまかして     きたんだ よ
Souyatte jibun wo gomakashite kitanda yo
That's how I’ve been fooling myself
遠く      遠く    ただ 埋もれていた
Tooku tooku tada umorete ita
It was so distant and buried underneath
でも    今   あなた に 出会って しまった
Demo ima anata ni deatte    shimatta
But now that I met you

その  手 に 触れて 心       に 触れて
Sono te ni furete kokoro ni furete
When I touch your hand and your heart,
ただ   の 一秒      が 永遠  より  ながく   なる   魔法    みたい
Tada no ichibyou ga towa yori nagaku naru mahou mitai
only a second seems much longer than eternity like a magic
あなた が 泣いて そして   笑って
Anata ga naite   soshite waratte
When you cry and laugh,
ひとつ   欠けた  まま    の  僕     の ハート が  ほら じんわり ふるえる
Hitotsu kaketa mama no boku no heart ga hora jinwari  urueru
my heart that misses one piece will shiver slightly    Can't you see?

ありふれた 日々 が アイ色 に 染まってく

Arifureta   hibi ga  ai-iro ni somatteku
Ordinal days start to be turned into the color of love
はじめ   から あなた を 探して      いたんだ よ
Hajime kara anata wo sagashite itanda   yo
It was you I've been looking for from the beginning
遠く      遠く    凍えそうな    空
Tooku tooku kogoesouna sora
The sky looked so distant and freezing
そば  に いても まだ   さみしそうに    滲んだ
Soba ni itemo mada samishisouni nijinda
Even though we stayed close, it still bled loneliness 

ただ  いとしくて   だけど    怖くて

Tada itoshikute dakedo kowakute
I just felt for you but I was so scared
今    にも あなた が 消えて しまい  そうで   夢    の  ように
Ima nimo anata ga kiete   shimai soude yume no youni
for the fear that you might soon disappear like a dream 
僕     を   見つめて    そっと  笑って
Boku wo mitsumete sotto waratte
When you look at me and smile silently,
瞳       閉じても  まだ    伝わる      温もり       が たしか  に ある 
Hitomi tojitemo mada tsutawaru nukumori ga tashika ni aru 
without doubt there is warmth I can feel even after I close my eyes
のに
noni
But why I feel this way?

その  手 に 触れて 心       に 触れて

Sono te ni furete kokoro ni furete
When I touch your hand and your heart,
ただ   の 一秒      が 永遠  より  ながく   なる   魔法    みたい
Tada no ichibyou ga towa yori nagaku naru mahou mitai
only a second seems much longer than eternity like a magic
あなた が 泣いて そして   笑って
Anata ga naite   soshite waratte
When you cry and laugh,
ひとつ   だけ  の  愛 が 僕     の ハート に 今  じんわり あふれる
Hitotsu dake no ai ga boku no heart ni ima jinwari afureru
Now slowly the only one love is filling up my heart
