Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
窓の無効に雨雲が空を黒く染める	mado no mukou ni amagumo ga sora o kuroku someru
散らばった本から一つを拾って	chirabatta hon kara hitotsu o hirotte
色あせたカバーに隠された世界に飛び込む	iroaseta kabaa ni kakusareta sekai ni tobikomu
中の言葉が想像の果まではこぶ	naka no kotoba ga souzou no hate made hakobu

世界は突然に変わる	sekai wa totsuzen ni kawaru
神秘と驚異溢れ	shinpi to kyoui afure
最初の一歩に躊躇って	saisho no ippo ni tameratte
新しいの世界飛び込む	atarashii no sekai tobikomu

Below is an official English translation: via Producer. Amendments may have been made to the original translation.

Rainclouds darken the sky off in the distance
I pick up a storybook from the volumes scattered around me
Diving into the world hidden behind the faded covers,
the words inside carry me towards the limits of my imagination

Suddenly, the world around me changes
with overflowing mystery and wonderment
Hesitating, I take my first step
and dive into this brand-new place

I don't ever want to leave this world
with fields that stretch forever in the distance
There's endless things to do
and nothing to be afraid of
The fun here will never stop!

Hm? What's this? Why's it upside-down?
I wonder how I'm supposed to get up there?
I might not be able to explore it at all,
but if I try hard enough I might find something amazing!

But this isn't where I'm supposed to be
I've gotta keep things under control
Someday I'll be the heroine of my own fairytale
and face whatever the future may bring

Will anyone notice if I never come back?
Life seems more meaningless every passing day
I'm gonna stay focused
till my adventure is over
Just one more step! Here we go!

I can't let myself think like that
Every day is a miracle on its own
There's still so many things I've yet to discover
and so many things I should do

My adventure has come to an end, but
I can't wait to do it again tomorrow
I wonder what awaits me...
Someday I want to return
to the world of my dreams
