その仕草を その涙を
分かって 君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように 無邪気に笑う
sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki ni warau
Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, I smile innocently
作り込むほどに 見えなくなった
君の有りの侭は何処?
誰のコピーが欲しいの?
tsukuri komu hodo ni mienaku natta
kimi no ari no mama wa doko?
dare no kopii ga hoshii no?
The more you acted perfect, the less I could see you
Where is your true self?
Who do you want to copy?
変わらずにそのまま 変わらずに一緒に
懐かしい場所がある
kawarazu ni sono mama kawarazu ni issho ni
natsukashii basho ga aru
The same as always, together as always
There’s a place nostalgic to us
その仕草を その涙を
分かって 君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように 無邪気なままで
sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki na mama de
Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, remaining innocent
伝えたいフレーズより
溢れる想いが先走る
その声が そのリアルが ズルく笑いかける
伝えたいこの想いに 相応しい言葉はなく
手を取って捧ぐ誓い 形の無い Ring に
tsutaetai fureezu yori
afureru omoi ga sakibashiru
sono koe ga sono riaru ga zuruku warai kakeru
tsutaetai kono omoi ni fusawashii kotoba wa naku
te o totte sasagu chikai katachi no nai Ring ni
Overflowing emotions jump out
before the phrase I want to tell you
Your voice, your reality, laughs at me slyly
There are no fitting words for these feelings I want to convey
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form
ありったけ並べ 選んでみても
君が本当に欲しいモノは
僕は分からない
arittake narabe erande mitemo
kimi ga hontou ni hoshii mono wa
boku wa wakaranai
Even if I lay everything out and try to decide
I don’t understand what it is
that you truly want
変わらないはずでも 人は何故その侭いられない
僕も同じ?
kawaranai hazu demo hito wa naze sono mama irarenai
boku mo onaji?
Why can’t people stay the same even though they shouldn’t change?
Am I the same?
その想いも その姿も
消え去る日がくるの PromiseRing
その前触れをかき消すよう 強くなりたい
sono omoi mo sono sugata mo
kie saru hi ga kuru no PromiseRing
sono maebure o kaki kesu you tsuyoku naritai
A promise ring for the day
when your feelings and your figure vanishes
I want to become strong so I can stamp out any indication
それぞれの道の先が
真逆に進んでいてもいい
その先で その未来で また出会えるのなら
この瞬間のこの気持ちを ずっと持ち続けていたい
手を取って捧ぐ誓い 形の無い Ring に
sorezore no michi no saki ga
magyaku ni susundeitemo ii
sono saki de sono mirai de mata de aeru nara
kono toki no kono kimochi o zutto mochi tsudzuketeitai
te o totte sasagu chikai katachi no nai Ring ni
It doesn’t matter
if our paths go in opposite directions
as long as we can meet again at the end, in the future
I want to keep holding on to the feelings I have in this moment forever
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form
光にかざす手に 刻み付けた印
hikari ni kazasu te ni kizami tsuketa shirushi
A pledge engraved in your hand, held up to the light
その仕草を その涙を
分かって 君に捧ぐ PromiseRing
この愛がまだ続くように 無邪気なままで
sono shigusa o sono namida o
wakatte kimi ni sasagu PromiseRing
kono ai ga mada tsudzuku you ni mujaki na mama de
Understanding your behavior and your tears
I offer you a promise ring
Praying that this love keeps going on, remaining innocent

Your voice, your reality, laughs at me slyly
There are no fitting words for these feelings I want to convey
Taking your hand I offer a vow, in a ring without form
見つけに行こう 照らす道の先に
再び僕らは出会うだろう
何故だかそう 僕はただ 信じているんだ
君を 僕のエゴだとしても
光をそこに感じた
mitsuke ni yukou terasu michi no saki ni
futatabi bokura wa de au darou
naze da ka sou boku wa tada shinjiteiru n da
kimi o boku no ego da to shitemo
hikari o soko ni kanjita
Let’s go in search to the ends of this illuminated road
Chances are we’ll meet once again
How do I know? I simply believe so
Even if it’s just my ego,
I felt you, I felt the light there
