Lyrics Translation

First Date

Lyricist, Composer: Mariya Takeuchi ・ Arranger: Mitsuo Hagita

Dare ni mo yasashii anata no koto dakara

Doyou no cinema ni sasotte kureta no mo


Hon no kimagure desho

Sore na no ni WAKU WAKU kokoro sawagu


Zutto mae kara chance wo machitsuzukete kita no

Class de ichiban medatanai watashi wo

Eranda wake wa naze?

Marude yume mitai yo

Nani mo ka mo ga barairo ni mieru wa

Hajimete no date


Tasogare ni naru koro

Sukoshi dake SOWA SOWA

Fushime gachi ni anata


“Okutte yuku yo” to sarigenaku tsunaida

Te to te ga furuete oshaberi ga togireru


Mune ga hora DOKI DOKI

Uwasa ni narisou ne

Donna kao de kondo aeba ii no

Minna ni naisho yo


Suki yo to hitokoto itsuka uchiaketai

Konna ni setsunai kimochi

Hajimete dakara

You’re always so kind to everyone.

So when you invited me to the cinema on Saturday,


That was just another whim, right?

But my heart won’t stop thumping.


For so long, I’ve been waiting for my chance.

I’m the girl who stands out the least in class.

What made you choose me?

This is like a dream.

Everything’s looking rosy,

On our very first date.


When it becomes twilight,

I start feeling a little uneasy.

You cast your eyes downwards,


And casually say you’ll walk me home.

Our hands tremble, neither of us can utter a word.


Can’t you hear? My heart won’t stop pounding.

People are gonna be talking about us.

How should I face you next time?

Make sure this stays a secret.


Someday, I want to say the words ‘I love you.’

Because this is the first time

I’ve felt such heartache.
