この広い宇宙-そら-の片隅
生まれ来る命　lt's our life
傷ついて　道間違って
出逢えたね…二人　奇蹟
 kono hiroi sora no katasumi [1]
 umarekuru inochi   It's our life
 kizutsuite  michi machigatte
 deaeta ne... futari   kiseki
    We're born into a small corner under the broad sky
    It's our life
    Getting hurt, making mistakes
    We were able to meet one another... a miracle.

形ないこの想いは　生まれ変わっても…Still love you
忘れない　君の香りと笑顔　そして口癖も
 katachi nai kono omoi wa   umarekawattemo.... Still love you
 wasurenai   kimi no kaori to egao   soshite kuchiguse mo
    These feelings that have no shape,
    Even if reborn, I'll still love you
    I won't forget
    Your scent, your smile, and your way of talking

この手をずっと離さないで
刻み込む魂の中に
何処にいたって見つけ出して
私、覚えていてね　You are my SOUL MATE
 kono te wo zutto hanasanaide
 kizamikomu tamashii no naka ni
 doko ni itatte mitsukedashite
 watashi, oboete ite ne   You are my SOUL MATE
    Hold my hand and never let go,
    Engraving this inside my soul,
    Wherever I am, come find me
    Remember me, okay?
    You are my SOUL MATE

運命を感じた二人　恋に落ち走ったけど
結ばれない結末もまた
私達　辿る軌跡
 unmei wo kanjita futari   koi ni ochi hashitta kedo
 musubarenai ketsumatsu mo mata
 watashi-tachi   tadoru kiseki
    We both felt the pull of destiny, and fast fell in love
    But once again, our fates couldn't meet
    We keep following the same old path

大切な人がきっと　たくさんいるんだ…So our friends
選べない扉の向こう　開けて前へ進まなきゃ
 taisetsu na hito ga kitto   takusan irunda... So our friends
 erabenai tobira no mukou   akete mae he susumanakya
    There are many people we value....
    So our friends
    We can't choose the door and what's beyond
    Yet we must open it and move forward

君の肩そっと抱きしめたら
刻み込む魂の中に
何処にいたって見つけ出すよ
たったひとりと信じ　I'm your SOUL MATE
 kimi no kata sotto dakishimetara
 kizamikomu tamashii no naka ni
 doko ni itatte mitsukedasu yo
 tatta hitori to shinji   I'm your SOUL MATE
    I embraced your shoulders
    Engraving this inside my soul,
    Wherever you are, I'll come find you
    I know there's only one person for you
    I'm your SOUL MATE

願いよ叶って!
叶うまで何度だって
ココに生まれたい　過酷な地球-ほし-に
願いが叶って
再び手を繋ぐ瞬間-とき-　一緒に扉を開けよう
 negai yo kanatte!
 kanau made nando datte
 KOKO ni umaretai   kakoku na hoshi ni [2]
 negai ga kanatte
 futatabi te wo tsunagu toki [3]   issho ni tobira wo akeyou
    My wish, please come true!
    Until it comes true, I want to be reborn however many times
    Into this harsh world [2]
    When my wish has come true, and I can hold your hand again
    We'll open the door together [3]

この手を強く握りあえば
甦る魂の記憶
だから今だけ離さないで
刻み込む魂の中に
何処にいたって見つけ出せる
愛の力に導かれ　We're SOUL MATE
 kono te wo tsuyoku nigiriaeba
 yomigaeru tamashii no kioku
 dakara ima dake hanasanaide
 kizamikomu tamashii no naka ni
 doko ni itatte mitsukedaseru
 ai no chikara ni michibikare   We're SOUL MATE
    If we clasp hands tightly,
    The memories buried in our souls will awaken
    So, right now, hold my hand and don't let go
    Engraving this inside our souls
    Wherever we are, we can find one another
    Led by the power of love
    We're SOUL MATES.
