Original

Japanese Kanji

エリナ　呼ぶだけで　気持ちが安らいでく
どんな音楽家も　その響きに　恋に落ちるよ
調子のいいこと　そうやって笑うの
鮮やかなリバプール　空が高くなる

エリナ　ジョジョ　そこにいる幸せ
雲は誇らしく　風は少し甘く
ジョジョ　エリナ　言葉が足りない
この想い　溢れるよ／溢れるの　ずっと

ひとこと　嬉しいって　聞きたい　君の声で
胸がくすぐったい　あなたは　いけない人
わからないんだけど　君に惹かれるんだ
じゃあ理由をつけて　二人の理由を

手と　手が　触れ合えず迷う
明日へと続く　この小さな勇気

震える心　高鳴り合う　きっと
引き合う　淡く　思いが巡る

引き合う　強く　あなたの
その名前は　ジョナサン・ジョースター

English Translation

Erina, yobu dake de kimochi ga yasuraideku
Donna ongakuka mo sono hibiki ni koi ni ochiru yo
Chōshi no ī koto sō yatte warau no
Azayaka na Ribapūru sora ga takaku naru

Erina, just calling your name soothes my heart
Any musician would fall in love with its melody
You say such smooth things, and then you laugh like that
The brilliant Liverpool sky stretches higher

Erina, JoJo, soko ni iru shiawase
Kumo wa hokorashiku kaze wa sukoshi amaku
JoJo, Erina, kotoba ga tarinai
Kono omoi afureru yo / afureru no zutto

Erina, JoJo, our happiness is right here
The clouds stand proud, and the wind feels a little sweet
JoJo, Erina, words aren't enough
These feelings will overflow / may overflow forever

Hitokoto ureshītte kikitai kimi no koe de
Koko ga kusuguttai anata wa ikenai hito
Wakaranai n dake do kimi ni hikareru n da
Jā riyū o tsukete futari no riyū o

I just want to hear one thing, "I'm happy," in your voice
That's so embarrassing, you're such a scoundrel
I don't really understand, but I'm drawn to you
Then let's find a reason, a reason for us both

Te to te ga fureauzu mayou
Ashita e to tsuzuku kono chīsana yūki

Your hand, my hand, when they're apart I feel so lost
This small courage will carry us into tomorrow

Furueru kokoro takanari au kitto
Hikiau awaku omoi ga meguru

Our hearts are resonating, beating in sync
Drawing us together, our fleeting feelings swirl

Hikiau tsuyoku anata no
Sono namae wa Jonasan Jōsutā

The one I'm so strongly drawn to...
His name is Jonathan Joestar
