季節は色を変えて幾度巡ろうとも
（きせつは　いろ　を　かえて　いくど　めぐろう　とも )
(No matter often the seasons change their colors)
この気持ちは枯れない花のように揺らめいて

(I just want you at my side)
微笑んだ瞳を失さない為なら
（ほほえんだ　ひとみ　を　なくさない　ためなら）
(because I don’t want to loose smiling eyes)
たとえ星の瞬きが見えない夜も
（たとえ　ほしの　またたきが　みえない　よるも）
(even when the twinkling stars at night aren’t seen…)

降り注ぐ木漏れ日のように君を包む
（ふり　そそぐ　こもれび　のように　きみを　つつむ）
(Snow falls from above with sunlight filtering through the trees, it is my wish to be enveloped by you)
それは僕の強く変わらぬ誓い
(それは　ぼくの　つよく　かわらぬ　ちかい）
(That’s my strong, unchangeable vow)
夢なら夢のままでかまわない
（ゆめなら　ゆめの　ままで　かまわない）

The love to you is alive in me. wo- everyday for love.
You are aside of me wo- everyday.

残された悲しい記憶さえそっと
（のこされた　かなしい　きおく　さえ　そっと）
(Even the sad memories that were left within me, gently)
君はやわらげてくれるよ
（きみは　やわらげてくれるよ）
(were relieved by you)
はしゃぐように懐いた柔らかな風に吹かれて
（はしゃぐように　なついた　やわらかな　かぜに　ふかれて）
(As I frolic emotionally attached, tenderly the wind blows)
なびく鮮やかな君が僕を奪う
（なびく　あざやかな　きみが　ぼくを　うばう）
(I succumb to your brilliance, you fascinate me)

季節は色を変えて幾度巡ろうとも
（きせつは いろ を かえて いくど めぐろう とも）
(No matter often the seasons change their colors)
この気持ちは枯れない花のように

夢なら夢のままでかまわない
（ゆめなら　ゆめの　ままで　かまわない）

いつまでも君を想う
（いつまでも　きみを　おもう）
(Forever, I will think of you)

The love to you is alive in me. wo- everyday for love.
You are aside of me wo- everyday.
