Romaji:

dakishimenaide  watashi no akogare

hisokana ude no naka

kono mama de ii kara

sono aoi hitomi

utsukushii orokasa

anata no nani mo kamo

kiseki da to shinjita

hito ha GONDORA ni nori tadayoi nagareru

deai soshite wakare

mijikai manatsu

kanashimi to yorokobi kuri kaeshite

itsuka ha owaru hitotoki no koi demo

anata ha eien o watashi ni nokosu darou

mizu o fukunda kaze ga hoho o nadete yuku

nani mo kamo wasurete

kowashite shimae

konna chiisana jibun mo ashita mo

anata o aishiteru...

dakishimenaide  watashi no akogare

hisokana ude no naka

kono mama de ii kara

Kanji:

抱きしめないで
私のあこがれ
密かな腕の中
このままでいいから

その青い瞳
美しい愚かさ
あなたのなにもかも
奇跡だと信じた

人はゴンドラに乗り漂い流れる
出会いそして別れ
短い真夏
哀しみとよろこびくり返して

いつかは終わる一時の恋でも
あなたは永遠を私に残すだろう

水を含んだ風が頬をなでてゆく
何もかも忘れて
壊してしまえ

こんな小さな自分も明日も
あなたを愛してる . . .

抱きしめないで
私のあこがれ
密かな腕の中
このままでいいから

English:

Please don't embrace my longing

secretly in your arms.

Because I'm fine the way I am.

Those blue eyes.

Beautiful foolishness

I believed everything about you

was a miracle.

People ride a gondola, drifting and floating away,

meeting, then parting.

A short mid-summer.

Sadness and happiness repeat again.

This one-time love will end eventually, but

I think you will stay with me for eternity.

A damp wind strokes my cheek.

Forget everything.

Break it off.

And tomorrow, too even this small me 

will love you...

Please don't embrace my longing

secretly in your arms.

Because I'm fine the way I am.
