Romanized Lyrics

Kono koi wa marude kakurenbo
Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo

Poketto de yureteru koin wo
Toridashita ookina te
Mayowazu eranda juusu ga
Watashi nara ii no ni

Nomihoshita akikan nigiru
Ushiro sugata no hiroi senaka wo
Mitsumeru dake no watashi wa mujaki na furi shiteru

Ichi ni san shi kazoekirenai
Suki wo atsumete
Dokidoki to asobou

Kono koi wa marude kakurenbo
Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo
Hayaku mitsukete hoshikute sugu nozoite mitaku naru
Dareka ni kakureta koi datte Wakatteru tsumori datte
I like you konna kimochi tomerare ya shinai

Tokehajimeta aisukuriimu
Matowaritsuita amai nioi ni
Yogorete ii yo to hankachiifu
Sashidasu sunzen

Shichi hachi kyuu juu takamaru kodou
Chikazuku ashioto
Mou taekirenai

Kono koi wa marude kakurenbo
Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo
Wazato mitsukaritakute sain dashita hazu na no ni
Kizukanai furi wo suru nante
Oitekibori ni shinai de
I miss you konna kimochi miserare ya shinai

Naze mune ga itamu no?
Kakushite itai no ni
Utsumuita kageboushi
Tsutsumu hidamari

Itazura na kao ga hohoende
Yubi wo sasu mitsuketa
Kuyashigaritai keredo ude no naka tobikomitai
Kono koi wa marude kakurenbo
Kimi e no omoi barete endo
I like you afuredashite
Kakushi kirenai

Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo
Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo

English Lyrics

This love is just like a game of hide-and-seek
"Are you ready yet?" "Ready now"

The coin that’s jingling in your pocket
You pull it out with your big hand
You choose the juice without hesitation
I wish it were me instead

Gripping the empty can you just finished
I watch your broad back as you walk away
All I can do is look, pretending to be innocent

1, 2, 3, 4—I can’t even count
All the little things I love about you
Let’s play this heart-pounding game

This love is just like a game of hide-and-seek
"Are you ready yet?" "Ready now"
I want you to find me quickly, I feel like peeking out
I know this love is hidden from someone else
I think I understand that, but
I like you—I can’t stop these feelings

The ice cream is starting to melt
Its sweet smell clings to me
You offer me your handkerchief
Right before I get messy

7, 8, 9, 10—my heart’s racing
Footsteps drawing closer
I can’t take it anymore

This love is just like a game of hide-and-seek
"Are you ready yet?" "Ready now"
I purposely sent out signs so you’d find me, but
You pretend not to notice
Don’t leave me behind
I miss you—I can’t show you these feelings

Why does my heart ache?
I want to keep it hidden
My downcast shadow
Wrapped in the warm sunlight

Your mischievous smile shows
You point and say, "Found you!"
I want to pretend to be upset, but I just want to jump into your arms
This love is just like a game of hide-and-seek
My feelings for you get revealed—it’s the end
I like you—overflowing
I can’t keep it hidden anymore

"Are you ready yet?" "Ready now"
"Are you ready yet?" "Ready now"

Japanese Lyrics

この恋はまるでかくれんぼ
もういいかい? もういいよ

ポケットで揺れてるコインを
取り出した大きな手
迷わず選んだジュースが
私ならいいのに

飲み干した空き缶握る
後ろ姿の広い背中を
見つめるだけの私は 無邪気なふりしてる

1.2.3.4 数え切れない
好きを集めて
ドキドキと遊ぼう

この恋はまるでかくれんぼ
もういいかい? もういいよ
早く見つけてほしくて すぐ覗いてみたくなる
誰かに隠れた恋だって わかってるつもりだって
I like you こんな 気持ち 止められやしない

溶け始めたアイスクリーム
まとわりついた甘い匂いに
汚れていいよとハンカチーフ
差し出す寸前

7.8.9.10 高まる鼓動
近づく足音
もう耐え切れない

この恋はまるでかくれんぼ
もういいかい? もういいよ
わざと見つかりたくて サイン出したはずなのに
気づかないふりをするなんて
置いてきぼりにしないで
I miss you こんな 気持ち 見せられやしない

なぜ胸が痛むの?
隠していたいのに
うつむいた かげぼうし
包む ひだまり

いたずらな顔が微笑んで
指をさす 見つけた
悔しがりたいけれど 腕の中飛び込みたい
この恋はまるでかくれんぼ
君への想い バレてエンド
I like you  あふれだして
隠し切れない

もういいかい? もういいよ
もういいかい? もういいよ
