Always, always, since I've been with you--
since I'm almost shocked to be with you--
secretly, I want to protect you.
No matter what kind of sorrow there is, it doesn't come close.
Keep on laughing, together forever.
I was always fascinated by
Your smile, like an angel's! But that was a secret.
I was captured, whenever I clumsily tried to hide
how stained my heart was by lies!
Until we met by chance, I was nothing more than a person alone.
Always, always, since I've been with you--
since I'm almost shocked to be with you--
I held you tightly,
so that happiness couldn't gradually escape.
Keep on laughing, together forever.
That moment when you suddenly embraced me from behind
with those wings seems not to vanish.
You, with your endless singlemindedness and frank eyes,
are all my pride; so
I believed that the miracle I wished for would come true.
Always, always,
since I've been with you,
at midsummer and at dawn, since I've been with you,
our gathered-together hearts can't be divided.
As though our emotions can't continue to overflow,
I hold you almost to the point of breaking!
