...
Before this,
I was a boy,
From now on, I am a young man,
In between the two, you stand.
Is this right? Aa... aa...
Before this,
You were a friend,
From now on, you are my beloved,
In between the two, I stand.
Is this right? Aa... aa...
Shadow paintings—
Are we really those? Aa... aa...
This unfolding magic,
Is it right? Aa... aa...
Is it right? Is it proper?
Is this really me, me, me?
Will I fall or will I rise?
Now that shyness and I become one,
Is it right? Is it proper?
Is this really me, me, me?
Will I fall or will I rise?
Now that shyness and I become one, become one...
Before this,
I was a boy,
From now on, I am a young man,
In between the two, you stand.
Is this right? Aa... aa...
...
Everything feels new
At this age,
Everything looks beautiful
To the eyes, to the eyes, it appears... ae...
The song I heard in my ear yesterday,
Sounds transformed into something else now,
Is that right? Aa...
Is it right? Is it proper?
Is this really me, me, me?
Will I fall or will I rise?
Now that shyness and I become one,
Is it right? Is it proper?
Is this really me, me, me?
Will I fall or will I rise?
Now that shyness and I become one, become one...
Is this the age
Where the heart stumbles?
When looking at girls,
Does the heart grow slightly heavy? Oh... oh...
A friend's lover,
A female friend, or a sister?
Is the question whether she is neither?
Is it right? Aa...
We are beautiful doodles,
We are an endless street,
We are the mischief of the cool breeze,
From now on... ae... ae...
Shadow paintings—
Are we really those? Aa... aa...
This unfolding magic,
Is it right? Aa... aa...
Is it right? Is it right?
Is this really me, me, me?
Is it right? Is it right?
Now that I, too, have changed...
Is it right? Is it right?
Is this really me, me, me?
Is it right? Is it right?
Now that I, too, have changed...
