(Ranma) You're cute when you smile! And so you become docile! (Akane) Being obstinate, that's right, it's the same for us both!

(Both) Although our engagement was decided by our parents at first, unconsciously, love has sprouted.

(Ranma) We can't communicate well! (Akane) We're clumsy at love. (Ranma) Today I can't look you in the face! (Akane) Feeling this way for the first time.

(Both) Because we can't say the words yet, (Ranma) Quietly, I touch your hand!

(Akane) It's so good when we get together. (Ranma) I'll protect only you! (Akane) I've waited eagerly all along. (Ranma) Now I can't see anyone else.

(Both) Because we want to confirm gentleness (Akane) Quietly, I touch your hand.

(Men) We can't communicate well! (Women) We're clumsy at love. (Men) Today I can't look you in the face! (Women) Feeling this way for the first time.
