軽いお辞儀と自己紹介で
With a light bow and a self-introduction,
もうわかってしまったの
I've already figured it all out,
この人と添い遂げること
It's to be with this person forever.
互いの身の上話に始まり
Starting with tales of our lives,
始まりはよく覚えてない
I don’t quite remember how it began.
一晩じゃ終わらない
One night isn’t enough to end it,
不気味にとめどなき
Something ominous and unending,
何かが溢れだし
Begins to overflow,

No matter how much I humble myself,
嫉妬されるべき人生だったと
It was a life that should be envied,
言えるよ
