     [Romaji Lyrics]

Seijun wo mamoritai
Seifuku wo nugu made wa
Umareta ano hi no mama
Tenshi no you ni

Yume wo miru
Kaisuu ga hette
Otona ni natte yuku nara
Watashi wa
Mabuta akenagara
Yume wo mitsudzukerareru zutto

Ame ga futta koutei
Suniikaa ga yogorete mo
Aratte hoseba ii
Shiroku nareru you ni
Kokoro mo...

Seijun wo mamoritai
Seifuku wo nugu made wa
Dou ikireba ii no ka?
Dare mo shiranai
Seijun wo mamoritai
Seifuku wo nugu made wa
Umareta ano hi no mama
Tenshi no you ni...

Jiyuu to wa
Hankou de wa naku
Subete yuruseru
Firosofii
Dareka ga
Kegareta to shite mo
Watashi semetari shinai nani mo

Sukoshi senobi shinagara
Koi wo suru no mo ii
Shibuya de asonde mo
Sugita toki ga
Nani wo oshieru

Seijun to yobaretai
Sotsugyou wo suru made wa
Nani ga taisetsu na no ka?
Jimonjitou shite
Seijun to yobaretai
Sotsugyou wo suru made wa
Kirakira kagayaiteru
Hadaka no watashi

Seijun wo mamoritai
Seifuku wo nugu made wa
Dou ikireba ii no ka?
Dare mo shiranai
Seijun wo mamoritai
Seifuku wo nugu made wa
Umareta ano hi no mama
Tenshi no you ni

     [English Translation]

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…

The number of times I dream
Has decreased
If this is becoming an adult
Then while
My eyes are open
I can keep dreaming forever…

Even if my sneakers
Get dirty on the rainy school grounds
I can wash them
Until they're white again…
My heart, too…

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
How should I live?
No one knows
I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…

I'm not opposed
To freedom
It's a philosophy
That forgives anything
Even if someone
Is sullied
I won't condemn them at all…

And it's fine to overreach yourself a bit
To have love
Even when I play around in Shibuya
The time I spend there
Teaches me something

I want to be called pure
Until I graduate…
Just what is important?
I answer myself
I want to be called pure
Until I graduate…
A bare, shining,
Sparkling me

I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
How should I live?
No one knows
I want to protect my purity
Until I take off my school uniform…
Stay the same as the day I was born
Like an angel…
