誰も傷付けないように
自分も傷付かないように
癒えない傷抱える君は

優しさがちょっと無器用で
強がりばかりが目立ってしまうけど

その素顔知るたびに好きになってくよ
急にだまらないで　気持ち熱くなる

見つめられて　恋花火
君の瞳（め）に映る私　消えないで！
誰よりも近くに居るからね
カッコなんてつけてないで
もっと頼って欲しいのに
これくらい平気さって無理して笑ってる
君をギュッと抱き締めたいよ
愛しさに潰されそう

何があったとしても
きっと乗り越えられるよって
ずっと励まし続けたい

だから気持ち溜めないで
苦しくなる前にぶつけて欲しいよ

私だってもっと必要とされてるって
感じていたいの　いつもいつまでも

こんなにね　好きだなんて…
もう独りにしないで　出会った頃
君の方が私に夢中だったね
そんな事思い出して
目の前の世界が滲んでく
私も弱いなぁって最近感じてる
向き合うのが怖くなる

心の闇に君がヒカリをくれて
そのヒカリを私が守って行くからね

見つめられて　恋花火
君の瞳（め）に映る私　消えないで…！

こんなにね　好きだなんて…
もう独りにしないで　忘れないで
誰よりも近くに居るからね
カッコなんて悪くたって
どんな姿も愛しいよ
瞳に映し出す全ての出来事を
一緒に感じて歩いていこう
心ギュッと繋いでいよう
君がくれた…恋花火

daremo kizutsukenai you ni
jibun mo kizutsukanai you ni
ienai kizu kakaeru kimi wa
	Trying not to hurt anyone
	and trying to keep yourself from getting hurt
	You, who bears scars that can't be healed

yasashisa ga chotto bukiyou de
tsuyogari bakari ga medatte shimau kedo
	Though your kindness is kind of clumsy
	And you put on such obvious displays of strength

sono egao shiru tabi ni suki ni natteku yo
kyuu ni damaranai de   kimochi atsukunaru
	Every time I see your smile, I like you more and more
	Don't suddenly turn quiet   You warm up my heart

mitsumerarete   koi hanabi
kimi no me ni utsuru watashi   kienai de!
dare yori mo chikaku ni iru kara ne
KAKKO nante tsuketenai de
motto tayotte hoshii no ni
kore kurai heiki sa tte muri shite waratteru
kimi wo GYUtto dakishimetai yo
itoshisa ni tsubusaresou
	Sparks of love   that I gaze at
	The image of me that's reflected in your eyes   Don't let that disappear!
	I'm closer to you than anyone
	Don't keep up the act
	I want you to rely on me more
	"I'm fine like this" you say unconvincingly, and laugh
	But I just want to hug you and hold you tight
	Feeling like I'll be crushed by this love

nani ga atta toshitemo
kitto norikoerareru yo tte
zutto hagemashitsuzuketai
	No matter what happens
	I know we can overcome anything
	and I want to keep encouraging you, always

dakara kimochi tamenai de
kurushikunaru mae ni butsukete hoshii yo
	So don't store your feelings away
	I want you to pour them out before it turns painful

watashi datte motto hitsuyou to sareteru tte
kanjiteitai no   itsumo itsumademo
	I want you to need me more
	I want to feel needed,   always and forever

konnani ne   suki da nante...
mou hitori ni shinai de   deatta koro
kimi no hou ga watashi ni muchuu datta ne
sonna koto omoidashite
me no mae no sekai ga shindeku
watashi mo yowai naa tte saikin kanjiteru
mukiau no ga kowakunaru
	Liking you   this much...
	Don't leave me alone anymore   When we first met
	You were the one who was more crazy about me
	Please remember that feeling
	Let it color the world before your eyes
	Lately, I feel like I'm so weak
	Becoming fearful of looking straight at your face

kokoro no yami ni kimi ga HIKARI wo kurete
sono HIKARI wo watashi ga mamotte yuku kara ne
	In the depths of my heart, you light my way
	The light you gave me keeps on protecting me

mitsumerarete   koi hanabi
kimi no me ni utsuru watashi   kienai de...!
	Sparks of love   that I gaze at
	The me that's reflected in your eyes   Don't let that disappear...!

konnani ne   suki da nante...
mou hitori ni shinai de   wasurenai de
dare yori mo chikaku ni iru kara ne
KAKKO nante waruku tatte
donna sugata mo itoshii yo
hitomi ni utsushidasu subete no dekigoto wo
issho ni kanjite aruite ikou
kokoro GYUtto tsunaide iyou
kimi ga kureta...koi hanabi
	Loving you   this much...
	Don't leave me alone anymore   Don't forget
	that I'm closer to you than anyone
	No matter how bad you look
	Whatever you show me, it's all lovely to me
	Everything that's reflected in your eyes
	I want to experience them with you
	I want to join our hearts together tightly
	You've given me....these sparks of love

========================================
[1] Koi Hanabi. lit. Love['s] fireworks. "Fireworks" have a very concrete connotation in English. I thought "sparks" would be more descriptive.
