Me wo tojite kiite ita yo kurikaesu nami no oto wo

Kyou wa (Kyou wa) shizuka ni nagareteku

Surechigau hito mo nakute hitorikiri aruku michi de

Rarara... {{CYaRon!|(Rarara...) kuchizusamu ai no uta

Sonna tsuyoi omoi nante

Mada wakaranai kedo itsuka wa

Kokoro kara no kimochi komete utatte mitai kara

(Sore wa itsu kana)

Mattete kureru kai? Motto suteki ni naritai yo

Koi wa madamada nazo ni michita tooku no passhon

Mattete kureru kai? Motto suteki ni naritai yo

Dakara madamada shiritai na (ironna koto shiritai)

Akogare wo (mitsumete) oikakeyou

Sunadokei tsukureru kana umibe nite omou koto wa

Itsumo (Itsumo) toritome no nai koto

Sukoshi dake setsunai kibun hitorikiri tachidomareba

Rarara... (Rarara...) nakete kuru ai no uta

Dare ni kiite mitara wakaru?

Kiite wakaru mono janai yo ne

Mune wo kogasu koi no chikara omoikkiri utatte mitai kedo

(Saki no koto da ne)

Shinjite kureru kai? Kitto itsuka wa utaerutte

Koi no are kore souzou dake de mirai no misshon

Shinjite kureru kai? Kitto itsuka wa utaerutte

Dakara are kore kangaezu ni (nariyuki makase kana)

Sono uchi ni deai ga) aru no kana

Ai no uta no hibiki wa

Yasashiku kanashii nda ne

Nazeka wa shirazu ni

Nee mune ga itai yo

Ai no uta no kaori wa

Shiokaze yori aokute

Motto tashikametai kaori sa

(Aoku setsunai kaori sa)

Mattete kureru kai? Motto suteki ni naritai yo

Koi wa madamada nazo ni michita tooku no passhon

Mattete kureru kai? Motto suteki ni naritai yo

Dakara madamada shiritai na (ironna koto shiritai)

Akogare wo (mitsumete oikakete)

Aa (Aa) kuchizusamu rabu songu...

Rarara... (Rarara...)

目を閉じて聞いていたよ くりかえす波の音を

今日は静かに流れてく

すれ違うひともなくて　ひとりきり歩く道で

ラララ...口ずさむ愛のうた

そんな強い想いなんて

まだわからないけどいつかは

心からの気持ちこめて　歌ってみたいから

（それはいつかな）

待っててくれるかい？　もっとステキになりたいよ

恋はまだまだ　謎に満ちた遠くのパッション

待っててくれるかい？　もっとステキになりたいよ

だからまだまだ知りたいな　（いろんなこと知りたい）

あこがれを　（見つめて）　追いかけよう

砂時計作れるかな　海辺にて思うことは

いつもとりとめのないこと

少しだけ切ない気分　ひとりきり立ちどまれば

ラララ...泣けてくる愛のうた

誰にきいてみたらわかる？

きいてわかるものじゃないよね

胸を焦がす恋のチカラ　思いっきり歌ってみたいけど

（先のことだね）

信じてくれるかい？　きっといつかは歌えるって

恋のあれこれ　想像だけで未来のミッション

信じてくれるかい？　きっといつかは歌えるって

だからあれこれ考えずに　（なりゆきまかせかな）

そのうちに　（出会いが）　あるのかな

愛のうたの響きは

優しく悲しいんだね

なぜかは知らずに

ねえ胸が痛いよ

愛のうたの香りは

潮風より青くて

もっと確かめたい香りさ

（青く切ない香りさ）

待っててくれるかい？　もっとステキになりたいよ

恋はまだまだ　謎に満ちた遠くのパッション

待っててくれるかい？　もっとステキになりたいよ

だからまだまだ知りたいな　（いろんなこと知りたい）

あこがれを （見つめて追いかけて）

ああ口ずさむラブソング...ららら...

I listened with, my eyes closed, to the repeating sound of the waves

Today is quietly flowing by

With no one to pass by, I walked on the street alone

Lalala... Humming the song of love

An emotion as strong as this one

I don't understand it yet, but someday

I want to try singing with my emotions from the bottom of my heart

(When will that day come?)

Can you wait for me? I want to become a better person

Love is still a distant passion filled with mystery

Can you wait for me? I want to become a better person

That's why I want to know more (There's much more I want to learn)

My aspirations (Watch me) chase after them

"I wonder if I can make an hourglass", that's what I thought as I stood by the sea

Always just rambling on pointlessly

The mood is just a bit sad if I stop and stand here alone

Lalala... The song of love makes me cry

If I try asking someone, will I understand?

It's not something I can comprehend by just asking, is it?

I want to try singing with my emotions─ with the power of love that scorches my heart

(But that's for the future)

Can you believe in me? That I'll surely be able to sing someday

This thing called love, just imagining it, it's my future mission

Can you believe in me? That I'll surely be able to sing someday

That's why without thinking about it, (Can I leave it to its own course?)

In the process (new encounters) might just happen

The sound of the song of love

Is both kind and sad, isn't it?

Why is it that I've never noticed?

Hey, my chest is starting to hurt

The scent of the song of love

Is more blue than the breeze of the sea

It's a scent I want to ascertain further

(A scent that is both blue and painful)

Can you wait for me? I want to become a better person

Love is still a distant passion filled with mystery

Can you wait for me? I want to become a better person

That's why I want to know more (There's much more I want to learn)

My aspirations (Watch me chase after them)

Aah, I'm humming the song of love... lalala...
