リップで決める宣言

Rippu de Kimeru Sengen

Liner Notes

I'm delivering through song that moment when the last touch of makeup turns hesitation into courage. Putting on lipstick isn't only for someone else, it's so that I can choose my own love. The signature line of the chorus is "a declaration I make with lipstick." I sang it so that even on days when fear stops your feet, today's you can be the first to smile.

Lyrics (Japanese)

リップで決める宣言 こわいを可愛いに変える きょうはわたしが先に笑う ためらいは色で消える リップで決める宣言 きみの前で息をする 言えなかった気持ちを きょうの声にする ポーチの中の小さな色 昨日のわたしが揺れる 似合うかどうかより 好きかで決めたい ぬり直すたびに 心が整う きょうはきょうのわたしを 信じて出る 指先が震えても そのままでいい 恋するわたしは 小さく強い リップで決める宣言 こわいを可愛いに変える きょうはわたしが先に笑う ためらいは色で消える リップで決める宣言 きみの前で息をする 言えなかった気持ちを きょうの声にする 待ち合わせの角 足が少し止まる でもリップの色が 背中を支える 沈黙が来ても 目はそらさない きみのひとことに 揺れても消えない 完璧じゃなくていい うまくなくていい 恋はきっと わたしを照らす もしも返事が少なくても わたしは消えない 恋してるきょうが もう宝物 リップをぬり足して また笑う きょうのわたしで リップで決める宣言 こわいを可愛いに変える きょうはわたしが先に笑う きみに会いに行く リップで決める宣言 言えたらそれでいい 恋するわたしの声を きみに渡す

Translation

A declaration I make with lipstick turning scary into sweet Today I'll be the first to smile Hesitation fades away with color A declaration I make with lipstick I breathe right in front of you The feelings I couldn't say I'll turn into today's voice The little color inside my pouch yesterday's me still wavers More than whether it suits me I want to choose what I love Every time I reapply it my heart settles into place Today I'll step out trusting today's me Even if my fingertips tremble that's okay just as it is The me in love is small but strong A declaration I make with lipstick turning scary into sweet Today I'll be the first to smile Hesitation fades away with color A declaration I make with lipstick I breathe right in front of you The feelings I couldn't say I'll turn into today's voice The corner where we meet my feet stall just a little but the color of my lipstick supports me from behind Even if silence comes I won't look away Even if one word from you sways me I won't disappear It doesn't have to be perfect it doesn't have to be good Love will surely light me up Even if you barely answer I won't fade away This day in love is already a treasure I add a little more lipstick and smile again as the me of today A declaration I make with lipstick turning scary into sweet Today I'll be the first to smile I'm going to meet you A declaration I make with lipstick if I can just say it, that's enough The voice of the me in love I'll hand it to you
