Romansu yubi de furete shimau dake de

Garagara kuzureochite yuku tsumiki

Deatta bakari no koibitotachi wa

Tada kizutsuku koto ni otagai ni obiete

Kokoro no temae de tesaguri shinagara

Eien no koi wo shinjitakunaru yo

Sonna kiseki wo chikaku de mitereba

Kotae no tsumiki ga hitotsu hitotsu tsumarete yuku

Romansu isoganakutemo ii futari

Jibun de nattoku dekitara itsuka

Yasashisa dake de wa kansei shinai yo

Sou kibishii koe mo mimi ni todoku hazu

“Hontou ni aishiteru”

Reisei ni nareta sono toki kimochi ga wakaru darou

Donna mono yori taisetsu da to shiru

Romansu

Itsu kuzureru no ka obieteite wa

Aishiau nante zettai ni muri da yo

Jibun no kimochi ni shoujiki de nakya

Aite no kimochi mo shinjirarenai sa

Kotoba ya shigusa sasai na hinto de

Mienai tsumiki ga itsu no ma ni ka tsumareteirun da

Memorii nanimo kangaezu ni zutto

Kanjou butsukete kita kara ima wa

Muishiki no ai no katachi ga dekiteru

Nee muri wo shinaide issho ni itai yo

“Bokutachi no ai wa tsumiki da”

Isshun no jounetsu yori mo keizoku ga daiji nan da

Moshi kowaretara mata tsumiageyou

Memorii

Tsumiki yo itsu made mo soko ni ite kure

Nando ka kuzureru koto ga attemo…

Akirameru koto wa zettai ni nai yo

Mata ichi kara onaji you ni aisu dake

Romansu isoganakutemo ii futari

Jibun de nattoku dekitara itsuka

Yasashisa dake de wa kansei shinai yo

Sou kibishii koe mo mimi ni todoku hazu

Reisei ni nareta sono toki kimochi ga wakaru darou

Donna mono yori taisetsu da to shiru

Romansu

ロマンス　指で触れてしまうだけで

ガラガラ　崩れ落ちて行く積み木

出会ったばかりの恋人たちは

ただ傷つくことに　お互いに怯えて

心の手前で手探りしながら

永遠の恋を　信じたくなるよ

そんな奇跡を近くで見てれば

答えの積み木が一つ一つ積まれて行く

ロマンス　急がなくてもいい　二人

自分で納得できたら　いつか

やさしさだけでは完成しないよ

そう厳しい声も　耳に届くはず

「本当にアイシテル」

冷静になれたその時　気持ちがわかるだろう

どんなものより　大切だと知る

ロマンス

いつ崩れるのか　怯えていては

愛し合うなんて絶対に無理だよ

自分の気持ちに正直でなきゃ

相手の気持ちも信じられないさ

言葉や仕草　些細なヒントで

見えない積み木がいつの間にか積まれているんだ

メモリー　何も考えずに　ずっと

感情　ぶつけて来たから　今は

無意識の愛の形ができてる

ねえ　無理をしないで一緒にいたいよ

「僕たちの愛は積み木だ」

一瞬の情熱よりも　継続が大事なんだ

もし壊れたら　また積み上げよう

メモリー

積み木よ　いつまでもそこにいてくれ

何度か　崩れることがあっても…

諦めることは　絶対にないよ

また一から　同じように愛すだけ

ロマンス　急がなくてもいい　二人

自分で納得できたら　いつか

やさしさだけでは完成しないよ

そう厳しい声も　耳に届くはず

冷静になれたその時　気持ちがわかるだろう

どんなものより　大切だと知る

ロマンス

Romance, just brush your finger against it

It clatters and falls apart, a tower of blocks

For lovers who just met

The slightest of injuries spook each other

They stop short of their hearts as they fumble around

Wanting to trust in eternal love

If you watch that sort of miracle closely

It's the blocks of answers are stacking up one-by-one

Romance, it's fine not to rush, a couple

If you can accept that, one day

Tenderness alone won't complete it

A stern voice is also supposed to reach your ears

"I really do love you."

Once you can calmly think like that, that's when you understand the feeling

You'll know what's more important than anything else

Romance

Feeling scared that I'll fall apart one day makes

Mutual affection totally impossible

If you're not honest with your own feelings

You can't trust your partner's feelings

A word or an action, a slight hint

Invisible blocks have piled up without anyone noticing

Memory, since emotion hits me

Without thinking of anything, now

Unconscious love is able to take shape

Hey, I want us to stay together without straining ourselves

"Our love is like stacking blocks"

Instead of a flash of passion, it's more important to make it last

If it winds up falling apart, let's stack it up again

Memory

Stacking blocks, please hold still no matter what

No matter how many times it falls apart...

Giving up is not an option

Just rebuild love again from scratch that same way

Romance, it's fine not to rush, a couple

If you can accept that, one day

Tenderness alone won't complete it

A stern voice is also supposed to reach your ears

Once you can calmly think like that, that's when you understand the emotion

You'll know what's more important than anything else
