Artist: BoA
Title: Valenti
Words: Kan Chinfa
Music: Hara Kazuhiro

My love began to move, completely effecting my future.
I grabbed your hand,
We were like a firework lit at both ends.
I couldn't take my eyes off you.
Oh Step in, Step in Baby

Why did we meet one another? Why me?
Boy, I fall in love with you.
Even at this moment

Squeeze my way into a pair of tight jeans. *1
This is the body I fight with.
Gives every little wish of mine a chance to come true,
My Dream

I want to protect you,
your torn jeans, your overly sensitive eyes
I can't tell my family about us.
I can't say anything to them,
At the least I can protect what's important to me.
you gotta get over here.

The meaningless fronting, and selfish lips
Just, I fall in love with you.
Accept my everything.

If love can't be found between you and I,
then it doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
My Dream

There's no point if we're not together.
We have to stay firm.
Boy, I fall in love with you.

We chose the pulse-pounding fight for love. *2
We both live with one body.
Gives the power to believe in every faint premonition.
My Dream

Squeeze my way into a pair of tight jeans.
This is the body I fight with.
Gives every little wish of mine a chance to come true,
My Dream

Gives a chance to shine.
My Dream

Translator's Notes: The word Valenti eludes me. It's a very popular sir name. Perhaps that is how the writer means it. On to the *'s!

*1 - The scene here is of a girl trying to shimmy and wiggle her way into her jeans. I'm told upon the highest authority, and due to wacky college days can attest to myself, that jeans for women are so tight, that bones must be broken, fat molded, legs twisted in ways that our maker never intended in order to get into them.

*2 - Rather than choose an easy love, the lovers of the song chose to follow their hearts, and choose a passionate love they have to fight for.
