Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me nanimo wakaranai no demo
You say itsumo sonna kotoba mo

Surechigau dake no You find another way
Owatteku sekai wo tobidashite You know?

Hello Hello It's a New World
Hikari yori hayaku monokuro no supiido de

Hello Hello It's a New World
Jikan yori tooku kakenukeru You're so far away

Baby remoneedo nagesuteta no mou
Too sweet chokoreeto hobattetara

Sukoshizutsu tokeru hitokakera de
Kawarihajimeru So slow
Can't you feel it everywhere?

Hello Hello Mr. Moonlight
Arifureta yoru wo nana-iro ni nurikaete
Hello Hello Mr. Moonlight
Tsukiakari abite kasoku-suru
Drivin' through the night

Hello Hello It's a New World
Hikari yori hayaku monokuro no supiido de
Hello Hello It's a New World
Jikan yori tooku kakenukeru You're so far away

Hello Hello Mr. Moonlight
Arifureta yoru wo nana-iro ni nurikaete
Hello Hello Mr. Moonlight

Tsukiakari abite kasoku-suru
Drivin' through the night
