TITLE TRANSLATION: The Japanese phrase kitto zutto (きっとずっと) combines two key words: "kitto" (surely, definitely, undoubtedly) and "zutto" (always, forever, continuously). This phrase conveys a strong sense of certainty and permanence, often used in sentimental or romantic contexts to express unwavering commitment or lasting emotions. In the translation below, kitto zutto has been translated as "always and forever" because it captures both the certainty of kitto ("surely") and the enduring nature of zutto ("forever"). This translation preserves the emotional depth and lyrical flow, emphasizing the steadfastness of the feelings expressed and their lasting quality. By aligning with the song’s theme of enduring bonds and promises, "always and forever" becomes a natural and poetic interpretation of kitto zutto in English lyrics.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I promise you, come what may,
Always and forever, I will be right by your side
No matter what happened in the past,
My trust in you won't change
Even the pain hidden deep within your heart,
Share it with me
Show me your true smile
Miracles don’t just happen,
They happen when we walk in step together
I promise you, come what may,
Always and forever, I will be right by your side
I promise I won't ever let go of your hand
(Forever with you)
Our story is unfolding,
Just like the future we imagined that day
You will always be my special someone
When I'm hurting and don't know what to do,
You always cry for me,
You're that kind of person
So I want to keep you safe with my hands
You are everything that gives me strength
Every time we meet, I fall for you even more,
If this continues, what will we do?
We may fall out of harmony,
Forever and always, we may not be perfect
But my love will never falter
(Forever with you)
Today as we share our hearts,
The stage before us shines in beautiful colours
You will always be my special someone
I don't want to forget the day we first met
Always and forever, it was fated
I can't be without you (I can't even imagine it)
I want to cherish it all
With you, every moment is a precious treasure
I will make you smile
I promise you, come what may
Always and forever, I will be right by your side
I promise I won't ever let go of your hand
(Forever with you)
Our story is unfolding
Just like the future we imagined that day
You will always be my special someone
