Japanese and English Lyrics

Gomen ne sunao janakute
Yume no naka nara ieru
Shikoukairo wa SHOOTO sunzen
Ima sugu aitaiyo

I’m sorry*, it’s hard for me to say
Although it’s easy to say it in my dreams
My thought circuit is about to break down
You know right now, I want you with me

Nakitaku naru youna moonlight
Denwa mo dekinai midnight
Datte junjo doushiyou
HAATO wa mangekyou

It has me nearly in tears, this moonlight
Can’t even call you because it’s midnight
But my heart is sincere, what can I do?
My heart is a kaleidoscope

Tsuki no hikari ni michibikare
Nando mo meguri au
Seiza no matataki kazoe
Uranau koi no yukue

The moonlight guides us to our destination dear
Time and again, we’ll find each other
Counting the sparkles of the constellations
Foretelling me the future of this romance

Onaji kuni ni umareta no
MIRAKURU ROMANSU

We were born on the same planet
This is the miracle of romance

Moichido futari de weekend
Kamisama kanaete happy-end
Genzai kako miraimo
Anatani kubittake

I wish that we could have another weekend
I wish upon a a star for a happy end
Across the past, the present, and future
I’ll always be in love with you

Deatta toki no natsukashii
Manazashi wasure nai
Ikusenman no hoshi kara anata wo mitsukerareru

When we first met I felt a sense of déjà vu
Your eyes, your gaze, I’ll never forget
From millions of stars in this universe, I’ll know the one that leads me to you

Guuzen mo CHANSU ni kaeru
Ikikata ga sukiyo

You can transform coincidences into chances
I love the way you live your life

Fushigi na kiseki KUROSU shite
Nando mo meguri au
Seiza no matataki kazoe
Uranau koi no yukue

Our lives are entwined with wondrous miracles
Time and again, we’ll find each other
Counting the sparkles of the constellations
Foretelling me the future of this romance

Onaji kuni ni umaretano
MIRAKURU ROMANSU
Shinjite iruno MIRAKURU ROMANSU

We were born on the same planet
This is the miracle of romance
I believe in it*. This is the miracle of romance.
