Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kimochi wa mada koi no mae
Mou iiyo maada dayo
Tanoshiku setsunaku chikazukou
Kou iuno warukunai yone
Arifurenaide itai kara
Renai tte chotto mendou de
Ai ga douno koi ga douno
Sonna mon wa little by little
Isoganaide isogasenaide
Kyou ne ano ko mitayo
Mada mada tte kanji datta romance
Junai demo ii sorede ii omoi dasu desho? woo
Nande mou iino? kangaetaku nai?
Watashi mo kikitaku nai
Ame furuyo tte itteta tenki yohou
Kyou mo hazureta mata kasa fuechatta
Kono kasa wo herasa nakucha
Mazui yone
Dan dan to wasurerareru
Kizu mo itsuka kako de sumu
Zutto ne zutto zutto ne
Souiu kankei ni nareba iiyo ne
Kurakushon wo narasou toka
Totsuzen kyuu bureeki (brake) kakeru toka
Zutto ne zutto zutto ne
Tokimeite itaine futari de
Ai ga douno koi ga douno
Sonna mon wa little by little
Isoganaide isogasenaide
Aishitai koi shiaitai
Itsudemo 2ri de tokimeki tai
Mitsumeaitai katari aitai
Yasashii kimochi wakari aitai
