 いつになく心ユラリ波立ってる
 こんな時にまいっちゃうな…
 そっと　頬を包む細い指先
  itsu ni naku kokoro YURARI namidatte'ru
  konna toki ni maicchau na...
  sotto  hoho wo tsutsumu hosoi yubisaki
     Strangely, my heart is being pulled in all directions
     And at a time like this, too...
     By those slender fingertips gently touching my cheek

 不器用なやさしさは　意地悪とうらはら　　（それは）
  bukyou na yasashisa wa  ijiwaru to urahara  (sore wa)
     Clumsy kindness is
     The exact opposite of cruelty (that's...)

 ルルル
 耳をすませて　息をひそめれば　聴こえるかすかなメロディー
 いつも近くにいようね　見守っていてね一緒に歌おうよ
  rururu
  mimi wo sumasete  iki wo hisomereba  kikoeru kasuka na MERODII
  itsumo chikaku ni iyou ne  mimamotte ite ne issho ni utaou yo
     Lu lu lu...
     If you listen carefully and hush your breath,
     You'll be able to hear the faint melody
     Always stay near to me and watch over me, okay?
     Let's sing together...

 時々はケンカをして足踏みしたりもするけど
 本当になくせないもの
 “た・い・せ・つ”を知ってる
  tokidoki wa KENKA wo shite ashibumi shitari mo suru kedo
  hontou ni nakusenai mono
  "ta-i-se-tsu" wo shitte'ru
     At times, we fought and stomped our feet in anger
     But I know that the things I can't bear to lose
     Are, in truth, "Precious... to... me."

 つないだ手の温もり　言葉なんていらない　　（そんな）
  tsunaida te no nukumori  kotoba nante iranai  (sonna)
     The warmth of our hands together
     Makes words unneeded (like this...)

 ルルル
 フワリみんなをささえてる弦-いと-が　奏でるかすかなメロディー
 きっと悲しくてもいい？楽しい方がいい！一緒に歌おうよ
  rururu
  FUWARI minna wo sasaete'ru ito ga  kanaderu kasuka na MERODII [1]
  kitto kanashikutemo ii? tanoshii hou ga ii! issho ni utaou yo
     Lu lu lu...
     The strings lightly holding everyone up [1]
     Are playing this faint melody
     Surely, they can play a sad tune, right?
     But a happy one is better! Let's sing together...
     
 誰もがひとりきりで　生きて行く事なんて…　（できない）
  daremo ga hitorikiri de  ikite yuku koto nante...  (dekinai)
     A person living life
     All alone... (can't be done)

 ルルル
 耳をすませて　息をひそめれば　聴こえるかすかなメロディー
 ずっと近くにいようね　見守ってるから一緒に歌おうよ
  rururu
  mimi wo sumasete  iki wo hisomereba  kikoeru kasuka na MERODII
  zutto chikaku ni iyou ne  mimamotte'ru kara issho ni utaou yo
     Lu lu lu...
     If you listen carefully and hush your breath
     You'll be able to hear the faint melody
     Always stay near to me and watch over me, okay?
     Let's sing together...
