Like this, just like this,

Won't it happen again?

Dream after dream,

Won't they stretch into reality?

My heart overflows,

Spilling over somewhere,

In my breath and in my senses,

Something stirs...

This is enough, more than enough,

From now on, my sorrow will fade away.

A fresh fragrance fills the air,

This is enough, more than enough.

A vast cloud in the sky,

A gentle drizzle in my eyes,

A boundless love is felt,

This is enough, more than enough.

With no one even to talk to,

My lifetime was slipping away.

With desires surging, defying every limit,

My feet just keep carrying me forward.

For the first time, I look at the sky,

I walk along with the moon.

As I keep walking with her,

And talking on and on, won't this road stretch endlessly?

This is enough, more than enough,

From now on, my sorrow will fade away.

A fresh fragrance fills the air,

This is enough, more than enough.

A vast cloud in the sky,

A gentle drizzle in my eyes,

A boundless love is felt,

This is enough, more than enough.

A day just like this,

Won't you give me once again?

Softly and gently,

Will you wrap around me like a garment?

In the prison of loneliness,

I lay in silent endurance like a penance.

You opened the door,

And I woke up to the light.

This is enough, more than enough,

This is enough, more than enough,

This is enough, more than enough,

This is enough, more than enough.
