The Japanese Lyrics of "Sansan Days" from "My Dress-Up Darling"

燦燦 キラリ色した 大切なもの　忘れないから そう この日を

Sansan kirari iro shita taisetsu na mono wasurenai kara sou kono hi o

水平線 遥か彼方　落としたため息は 波にさらわれて消えた　蓋した本音 見つけてくれた　キミに手を引かれ ゆっくり走り出す

Suiheisen haruka kanata otoshita tameiki wa nami ni sarawarete kieta fusagashita honne mitsukete kureta kimi ni te o hikare yukkuri hashiridasu

くしゃくしゃに笑うキミを焼き付けて　波打ち際に はねる影ふたつ　鳴らす足音は 明日へと響いてる

Kushakusha ni warau kimi o yakitsukete namiuchigiwa ni haneru kage futatsu narasu ashioto wa ashita e to hibiiteru

燦燦 裸足のキミを 追いかけていく　心ほどけて しぶきあげた　爛漫爛漫 揺れる水面が キラリ染まって　初めて出逢う この感情　真っ直ぐに 夢を見る 奇麗なその瞳　キミのそばで笑ってたいから　Be myself!

急ぎ足に 時は過ぎて　空はグラデーション まるで魔法のように　刻々変わる 景色の中で　キミといつまでも 変わらずいられたら

Isogiashi ni toki wa sugite sora wa guradeeshon marude mahou no you ni koku koku kawaru keshiki no naka de kimi to itsumademo kawarazu iraretara

いたずらに笑うキミが指差した　雲ひとつない 真っ暗なキャンバス　描く花たちが 明日を照らしてく

Itazura ni warau kimi ga yubisashita kumo hitotsu nai makkura na kyanbasu egaku hanatachi ga ashita o terashiteku

燦燦 一面に咲く それぞれの色　氷も溶ける 熱を帯びて　恋々 花火 残り香 キミの横顔　気持ち溢れて とまどうけど　今はまだ この胸に 蒔いたばかりの種　いつか大きく咲けるその日まで　Step by step!

The English Translation of "Sansan Days" from "My Dress-Up Darling"

Radiant and sparkling, the precious things, I won't forget them, yes, this day
On the distant horizon, the sigh I let out vanished, carried away by the waves, the hidden truth you found
You took my hand, and we started running slowly, etching the you who laughs crinkly into my mind
At the water's edge, two shadows jump, their footsteps echoing towards tomorrow
Radiant, chasing after you, barefoot, my heart loosens, and splashes fly, resplendent
The rippling water surface is dyed with a gleam, encountering this feeling for the first time, straight into my dreams
With those beautiful eyes, I want to keep laughing by your side, so be myself!

In hurried steps, time passes, the sky is a gradient, like magic, changing scenery every moment
In the midst of it all, with you forever, if I can remain unchanged
You playfully pointed at the cloudless, pitch-dark canvas, the flowers you draw illuminate tomorrow
Radiant, blooming in a vast array of colors, each with its own hue, even the ice melts, carrying warmth
Love, fireworks, lingering fragrance, your side profile, my feelings overflow, though I'm bewildered
For now, in my heart, I've sown seeds that have just sprouted, until the day they bloom big, step by step!

Radiant, with a sparkling brilliance, the precious things are now right before my eyes, I won't forget this day
Radiant, walking alongside you on the way back, connecting to our tomorrows, looking straight into my dreams
With those beautiful eyes, I want to keep laughing by your side, so be myself!
