Romaji

Sekai tomete gyutto dakiyosete
Motto soba ni itai yo
Nando mo kimi ni koi ni ochiteku
Namida kobore chikazuku yoake

Kimi ga kureta nukumori iki ga tsumarisou na hodo
Kami ni fureru yubisaki nakusu koto ga kowakute

Futari musubitsukeru kono inryoku de...
Ashita moshi haguretemo kanarazu sagashidasu

Sekai tomete gyutto dakiyosete
Zutto soba ni itai yo
Futari wo tsunagu hitotsu no omoi
Ima wa yowai hikari da to shitemo

Itsu shika nemutta kimi kokyuu awasete mireba
Dandan zurete yuku koto kizuite mune ga kishinda

Konna uchuu no naka de kimi ni aete
Itsuka moshi haguretemo tsuyoku nareru darou

Sekai tomete nante ienakute
Kimi wa nani wo omou no?
Koe ni naranai omoi wa
Ima mo todokisou de todokanai mama

Hitomi wo tojite yubi de nazoreba hora
Nemuru matsuge no saki made zenbu kimi wo omoidaseru

Sekai tomete sotto dakishimete
Wasureru nante dekinai
Moshimo miushinau hi ga kitemo
Kyou no konna kirei na yoake

Sekai tomete sotto hohoende
Zutto soba ni iru kara
Kimi wo terasu mabushii yoake
Douzo kono mama futari tsutsunde

Douka kono mama sekai wo tomete…

English

Stop the world, hold me tight
I want to be closer to you
I’ve fallen for you time and again
My tears overflow as dawn approaches

The warmth you gave me makes my breath catch in my throat
I am afraid of losing your fingertips that stroke my hair

The attraction that pulls us together…
If we’re separated tomorrow, I’ll search for you no matter what

Stop the world, hold me tight
I want to be by your side forever
We are connected by one love
Even though its light is faint now

At some point you fell asleep, and when I tried to breathe in sync with you
I noticed you slowly began to breathe out of sync, and my heart cried

In this universe I met you
Even if someday we part,  I‘m sure I can be strong

I can’t say “Stop the world”
What are you thinking about?
I can’t put this love into words
I feel like it will reach you now, but it doesn’t

When I close my eyes and trace with my fingers
I can remember every bit of you, right down to what’s under your sleeping eyelids

Stop the world, hold me gently
I can’t forget you
Even if I day comes when I lose sight of you
There was such a beautiful dawn today

Stop the world, smile gently
Because I will always be by your side
Let the bright dawn light that shines on you
Envelop the two of us like this

Somehow stop the world like this...
