Rōmaji
Shizukana kuchibiru Hiraite utau no BARAADO. Hitomi no oku ni wa Mada fukai yoru wo Mitsumete.

Koi wo hajimete shitta to Anata wa tsubuyaku Kanashimi no hotori. Nemuru yume no samenai yoake ni Itsukara futari wa Eien no koi ni ochiru.

Manatsu no mabushisa Mafuyu no shizukesa Futari de. Wakeau sore dake Negai no subete wo kanaete.

Koi wo nakushita jidai ni Wakare wo tsugetara Futari wa tabidatsu. Dokoka yume no samenai basho made Tsumetai te wo tori Hibiku yo shizuka na BARAADO.

Koi wo hajimete shitta to Anata wa tsubuyaku Kanashimi no hotori. Nemuru yume no samenai yoake ni Itsukara futari wa Eien no koi ni ochiru.

English Translation
Your quiet lips opened and sang a ballad Still looking at the deep night in the depths of your eyes

When I first knew love you murmured on the bank of sadness in the dawn of an unwaking dream one day the two of us will fall into an eternal love

The brightness of mid-summer the stillness of mid-winter the two of us just by sharing grant all our wishes

If I were to bid farewell at the era I lost love the two of would depart on a journey to a place where we don’t wake from dreams take my cold hand echo through, quiet ballad

When I first knew love you murmured on the bank of sadness in the dawn of an unwaking dream one day the two of us will fall into an eternal love
