甘い风に纷れ込んだ
絵具の微粒子
カーディガンや桜并木
ピンクに染めてく

GUANBARE! Pure My Heart

寒い季节色あせてた

ウィンドウの花も
3ダースの朝阳集め
きらめき始める
One more chance!
ブルーな恋は终わったのよ
[アン? ドゥ? トロア
涙は睫毛の先で
振り落とすの
GUANBARE! Pure My Heart
勇気を出すのよ
悲しみのコダマに胁えちゃ
梦を见失うから
GUANBARE! Pure My Heart
メソメソしてると
次の恋を运ぶ天使が
ソッポ向いちゃうゾ

Good-bye love!
ちょっぴり
憎んでみたいけど
［ワン? ツウー? スリー］
最后に思い出すのは
彼の笑颜
GUANBARE! Pure My Heart
元気を出すのよ
伤つくほど人を爱したなんて
素敌なコトよ
も一度微笑って

光りに飞び込めばハートに
春がやって来る
