English translation
In a fairytale world, stories always have a happy ending
But in reality, the world continues on
Even though Cinderella lost her chance to find love along with her slipper,
Her perfect romance came to her
But in today’s world
If you just wait for the shoe that fits to come to you, no Prince Charming will appear
Our story is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
Even though Snow White was tricked many times by the witch Queen, [1]
She didn’t lose her pure, good heart
Because there are so many people in this world
Who are hiding and waiting, ready with poison apples,
In today’s world,
It’s necessary to have a little caution in order to keep on surviving.
Our story is meant to be continued
Life’s a story but it’s no fairytale
Though sometimes we want to dream about fairytales, the story of our days, [2]
The story of our lives, isn’t an easy one to live out [3]
Our story Our story
Our story’s meant to be, it’s meant to be
Our story is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
It’s meant to be continued
Japanese
おとぎの世界はいつも ハッピーエンドになるけど
現実は続いて行くものなんだ
シンデレラは恋のチャンスを靴と共に無くしたのに
完璧なロマンスが舞い降りた
でも今の時代
自分の足に合う靴を待っているだけじゃ 王子様なんて現れない
Our story is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
白雪姫は何回も魔女に騙され続けたのに
素直な心を失わなかった
毒リンゴを隠し待っている 味方のふりをしている人が
この世の中には沢山いるから
今の時代
少しくらいの警戒心は 生きて行くためには必要だ
Our story is meant to be continued
Life’s a story but it’s no fairytale
おとぎ話をたまに夢見たいが 私達の生きる日常(ストーリー)は
人生(ストーリー)は生易しくない
Our story Our story
Our story’s meant to be, it’s meant to be
Our story is meant to be continued
Meant to be continued
It’s meant to be continued
