Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | Official English |
| 心の声をそのままあなたに届けられたなら | kokoro no koe o sono mama anata ni todokerareta nara | If I couldn't send you the messages from the bottom of my heart |
| 言葉も口も元気な芝居も意味なかったね | kotoba mo kuchi mo genki na shibai mo imi nakatta ne | my words, my mouth, my energetic vibe, would lose their meanings |
| あさぎに染まる夜長に蛍を | asagi ni somaru yonaga ni hotaru o | You said you wanted to go see |
| 見てみたいと言ってた | mite mitai to itteta | the fireflies that dyed the long night chartreuse |
| 生まれ変われたら今より素直になって | umarekawaretara ima yori sunao ni natte | If I could be reborn, I would be more honest |
| 明日同じように | ashita onajiyou ni | even tomorrow comes |
| 恋をして お願いあなたを | koi o shite onegai anata o | Let me fall in love with you, please |
| 迎えに来て迎えに来てくれ | mukae ni kite mukae ni kite kure | Come, come pick you up, please, please |
| 「またいつか。」あなたはそう言うから | "mata itsuka." anata wa sou iu kara | "Maybe some other time." You said |
| 蛍が見たかった | hotaru ga mitakatta | How I wanted to see fireflies |
| あなたにすればなんてこともない出来の悪い子だよね | anata ni sureba nante koto mo nai deki no warui ko da yo ne | I must be a worthless loser in your eyes |
| 灯りのついた蛍は十五夜生きてはいられないから | akari no tsuita hotaru wa juugoya ikite wa irarenai kara | Fireflies can only live for 15 nights once they start glowing |
| 生まれ変われたら今より眩しくなって | umarekawaretara ima yori mabushiku natte | If I could be reborn, I would be more dazzling |
| わたし同じように | watashi onajiyou ni | I would be like you |
| 手をとって 走るよ世界は | te o totte hashiru yo sekai wa | I'll hold your hand and travel around the world |
| 止まっている止まっているのに | tomatte iru tomatte iru no ni | But the world's not moving, it is still |
| そりゃそうかわたしは今誰よりも | sorya sou ka watashi wa ima dare yori mo | Oh right, because now I'm the person that's |
| 蛍に近づいている | hotaru ni chikazuite iru | the closest to the Firefly |
| 今なら心の水底を見せられるけど | ima nara kokoro no minasoko o miserareru kedo | I feel like I could open my heart to you at this moment |
| あなたは何も知らないで | anata wa nani mo shiranaide | But you know nothing at all |
| ただ笑ってて欲しい | tada warattete hoshii | All I want is to have you smiled |
| 笑ってて欲しい | warattete hoshii | Just to have you smiled |
| この背中の暖かさを | kono senaka no atatakasa o | This warmth in my back, |
| 心に燈せるとしたら | kokoro ni tomoseru to shitara | I wish I could light it up in my heart |
| 消さないで こがねのリボンで | kesanaide kogane no ribon de | Don't put it out. I want to use my pale gold ribbon |
| 隠していたい隠していたいんだよ | kakushite itai kakushite itai nda yo | to hide my feelings away, to hide my feelings away |
| わたしだけ、わたしだけが知っている | watashi dake, watashi dake ga shitte iru | I'll be the only one who knows that |
| 蛍はここにいた | hotaru wa koko ni ita | Firefly was here before |
| 昨日の夜を大人になるまで | kinou no yoru o otona ni naru made | Until adulthood, I will bury last night |
| 心に仕舞っておくよ | kokoro ni shimatte oku yo | deep in my heart |
| 聞かれたならばこう答えるね | kikareta naraba kou kotaeru ne | If someone asks about it, I will answer: |
| 蛍はいなかった | hotaru wa inakatta | Fireflies never came |
