#### TV Size Edit

Japanese:

時間が止まれば　いいのになって思うよ

まだ何も知らない同志なのに

どうしてなの　もう君のことが好き

はじまりのセツナ

見慣れてない景色が　キラリ光った

君が名前を呼んでくれたからだよ

クラスメイトじゃなく　友達になりたい

君に思っていたの　密かにずっと

もっと知りたい　もっと知って欲しい

楽しさで君と　夕日に染まる君

バイバイって言いたくない

時間が止まれば　いいのになって思うよ

まだ何も知らない同志なのに

どうしてなの　もう君のことが好き

はじまりのセツナ

大きく手を振る　君がとても綺麗で

振り返すことも忘れそうだよ

どうしてなの　もう君のことが好き

きらめきのセツナ

Transliteration:

Jikan ga tomareba ii no ni natte omou yo

Mada nanimo shiranai doushi na no ni

Dou shite na no ? Mou kimi no koto ga suki

Hajimari no setsuna

Minaretenai keshiki ga kirari hikatta

Kimi ga namae wo yonde kureta kara da yo

KURASUMEETO ja naku tomodachi ni naritai

Kimi ni omotteita no hisoka ni zutto

Motto shiritai motto shitte hoshii

Hanashi saegiru CHAIMU yuuhi ni somaru kimi

"Bye bye" tte iitakunai

Jikan ga tomareba ii no ni natte omou yo

Mada nanimo shiranai doushi na no ni

Dou shite na no ? Mou kimi no koto ga suki

Hajimari no setsuna

Ookiku te wo furu kimi ga totemo kirei de

Furikaesu koto mo wasuresou da yo

Dou shite na no ? Mou kimi no koto ga suki

Kirameki no setsuna

English(translated on translator):

I think it would be nice if time stopped

Even though I'm a comrade who doesn't know anything yet

why does she like you anymore

Beginning Setsuna

The unfamiliar scenery sparkled in her

because you called my name

I want to be friends, not classmates

I've been thinking of you secretly all this time

i want to know more she wants to know more

With you in fun, you dyed in the setting sun

I don't want to say goodbye

I think it would be nice if time stopped

Even though I'm a comrade who doesn't know anything yet

why do i already like you

Beginning Setsuna

I wave my hand big, you're so beautiful

I seem to forget to look back

why do i already like you

Twinkling Setsuna

時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ

まだ何も知らない同士なのに

どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き

はじまりのセツナ

見慣れてない景色がキラリ光った

君が名前を呼んでくれたからだよ

クラスメートじゃなく 友達になりたい

君に思っていたの 密かにずっと

もっと知りたい もっと知って欲しい

話さえぎるチャイム 夕日に染まる君

"Bye bye"って言いたくない

時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ

まだ何も知らない同士なのに

どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き

はじまりのセツナ

大きく手を振る 君がとても綺麗で

振り返すことも忘れそうだよ

どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き

きらめきのセツナ

相槌を打ってる君の瞳は

胸のロック開ける パスコードみたい

話したかったことが 寂しかったことが

次々に溢れて いっぱいになる

息を切らして 駆けあがる坂道

心を追い越して 身体がはしゃいでる

ドキドキが止まらない

大人になりたい 背伸びする度 揺れる

今がほら 素敵すぎるからだよ

どうしてなの？ 嬉しい気持ちなのに

涙が出ちゃうな

高台からの風景がオレンジの宝石箱みたい

それでもお腹は空いてきて 可笑しくてひとりで吹き出した

Ah もう君に話したくなったよ

大人になりたい 背伸びする度 揺れる

今がほら 素敵すぎるからだよ

どうしてなの？ 嬉しい気持ちなのに

涙が出ちゃうな

時間が止まれば 良いのになって思うよ

まだ何も知らない同士なのに

どうしてなの？ もう君のことが好き

はじまりのセツナ

ずっと続いて セツナ

English:

I think it would be nice if time stopped

Even though we don't know anything yet

why? i already like you

Beginning Setsuna

The unfamiliar scenery glittered

because you called my name

I want to be friends, not classmates

I've been thinking of you secretly all this time

I want to know more I want to know more

The chime that interrupts the conversation, you dyed in the setting sun

I don't want to say "bye bye"

I think it would be nice if time stopped

Even though we don't know anything yet

why? i already like you

Beginning Setsuna

I wave my hand big, you're so beautiful

I seem to forget to look back

why? i already like you

Twinkling Setsuna

Your eyes that are giving back

It's like her passcode to open the lock on my chest

The things I wanted to talk about, the things I felt lonely

One overflow after another she fills up

Breathlessly running up the slope

Overtaking my heart, my body is in high spirits

I can't stop pounding

I want to grow up, every time I stretch, I sway

It's because now, look, it's too wonderful

why? I feel happy

I'm in tears

The scenery from the hill looks like an orange jewel box

Even so, I got hungry and burst out laughing by myself

Ah, I already want to talk to you

I want to grow up, every time I stretch, I sway

It's because now, look, it's too wonderful

why? I feel happy

I'm in tears

I think it would be nice if time stopped

Even though we don't know anything yet

why? i already like you

Beginning Setsuna

For a long time she is Setsuna
