### English

*When people are nice to me,

I feel so insignificant

Ashamed of my heart that doubted you,

let's believe from the bottom of our hearts

In the passing days,

too many things are changing

But one thing that will remain unwavering

is my feeling towards you

Don't cry my beloved,

Feel the joy of worrying

Before you know it, for the amount that

you've worried I will preciously think of you

Look, we're more than how we were before,

before you realize it you're already in my arms

I want to see you

to see you

I want to see you

to see you

On those sleepless nights, if I see you in my dreams,

the more sleepless I'll get

If we meet in our dreams, where should we go?

If it's with you, anywhere is fine

I want to see you

to see you

I want to see you

to see you

In the passing days, the seasons change,

if the flowers bloom and scatter, can we return to the past?

In this world, who should I believe in as I walk on?

Would you take me by the hand?

It's for you,

It's for you*
