kuchibiru ni MERODI  itsu shika kizamu yuugure
machi wo mi-oroseba  kimi no sugata mieru

    From my lips a melody pierced through the twilight.
    As I looked at the street below, it was you that I saw.   

akirame kirenai  yume no KAKERA sutenaide
mo ichido sono mune  atatame naoshite yo...

    I cannot give it up, that piece of a burning dream.
    So just once more, rekindle the warmth in your breast.

kousaten no hito no nagare  
ima, dare, doko, nani shiteru?

    In the flow of people at the crossroads, 
    with who, where, what are you doing now? 

suna no naka no DAIYAMONDO  
sagasu mitai na tokimeki!

    The excitement of looking for 
    a diamond buried in the sand!   

* Miracle Girl
kiseki wa itsudemo kimi no HAATO shidai
Miracle Girl
hitomi no negai wa itsuka kanau hazu yo
wow wow, Miracle Girl 

    *Miracle Girl
    Miracles are always reserved inside your heart.
    Miracle Girl
    The wish in your eyes will come true someday.
    wow wow, Miracle Girl 


munashisatte koto ni  madowasare naide ite ne
menimieru mono ga  subete toiwanaide...

    When things are dreary, don't be led astray.
    Please don't say that all things must be visible.

shite hoshii koto wo  shite agerareru ENAJII
sore wa kaze no naka  kimi wo matte iru sa

    To find what you wish for, catch the energy
    that's in the wind, waiting for you.

kokoro no naka hirogaru sora  
ai, yume, mirai, uzumaku

    I spread my heart across the sky
    Love, dreams, the future, are swirling

mizu no ue no namida no iro
fui ni kagayaki wo masu yo!

    over the water like the colour of my tears. 
    Your unexpected, growing radiance surprises me!

** Miracle Girl
BARA no kuchibiru ni hohoemi ukabere-ba
Miracle Girl
tsuisakki made no kimi ga kawaruhazu sa
wow wow, Miracle Girl 

    ** Miracle Girl
    Smile! with those rosy lips.
    Miracle Girl
    You have changed since I saw you a moment ago.
    wow wow, Miracle Girl
