Hito wo aisuru kototte
Konna ni mo setsunakute tsurai koto da to
Hajimete shirimashihta
Shinobishita koi to wa ii kedo
Watashi wa koisuru juuhassai
(Sung)
Hitori sabishiku yoru no machi
Anata no koe ga kikitakute
Yubi ga oboeta bangou wo
Oshite wa keshite no kurikaeshi
Kotoba ni dekizu afureru omoi
Hito wo shinobi yo wo shinobu
Ubu na onna no shinobi koi

Shinobi koi de mo Koi wa koi
“Shiawase desu ka” to kikaretara
“Sekaijuu de ichiban shiawase” tte

Tsumetai ame ga hoo tsutau
Yowai watashi wo warau you ni

Tatoe okite wo yabutte mo
Kokoro no mama ni ikirareta nara
Hito wo shinobi yo wo shinobu
Kage no onna no shinobi koi
Kotoba ni dekizu afureru omoi
Hito wo shinobi yo wo shinobu
Ubu na onna no shinobi koi
(Spoken)
To love a person
Is such a sorrowful and painful process—
I’ve found that out for the first time
People tell me that about love beyond my reach, but
I’m an 18-year-old in love
(Sung)
One person alone in the city at night
Wanting to hear your voice
A repetition of pressing and erasing
The number my fingers have memorized
Overflowing thoughts that I cannot express in words
Hidden from people, hiding from the world
Is a pure girl’s secret love
(Spoken)
Even if it’s a secret love, a love is a love
If I’m asked, “are you happy?”
I will surely answer
That “I’m the happiest person in the world”
I’m an 18-year-old in love
(Sung)
The cold rain drips on my cheeks
To make me smile
Once again I secretly cried in my heart
I’ll always be waiting, anytime
Sacrificing my body for you
Hidden from people, hiding from the world
Is an unexperienced girl’s secret love
(Spoken)
I want to meet you, see you, know you!
Even though I like you this much
Where are you, my beloved?
My love is a secret love
(Sung)
Tomorrow I’ll surely leave the city
Waving my hands with a fake smile
Having been unable to tell you my heart’s depths
Even if I broke all the rules
As long as you remain alive in my heart
Hidden from people, hiding from the world
Is the secret love of a woman of the shadow
Overflowing thoughts that I cannot express in words
Hidden from people, hiding from the world
Is a pure girl’s secret love
