<tabber><br />
|-|English = <center>This vibrant tune has deep, soulful lyrics which asks one's current friends what forever means. Printemps' school idol qualities and the refreshingly positive melody make for a fun harmony at the chorus.</center><br />
|-|Japanese = <center>自分達のいまの友情の「永遠」を問いかける深いテーマの切ない歌詞の中にもPrintempsのもつアイドルらしさと、爽やかで前向きな気持ちになれるメロディ、サビでのハーモニーがたのしいキラキラチューン。</center><br />
|-|Chinese = <center>質問自己心中友情的「永遠」與否的嚴肅主題。儘管如此，歌詞中仍然有著Printemps的偶像氣質、搭配清爽而給人正向情緒的旋律，讓人忍不住沉浸於副歌的和聲之中。</center><br />
|-|Korean = <center>자신들의 지금 우정의 '영원성'을 묻는 깊은 주제의 애절한 가사 속에서도 Printemps가 가진 아이돌스러움과 상큼하고 긍정적인 느낌을 주는 멜로디, 그리고 후렴구의 하모니가 즐거운 반짝반짝 빛나는 곡이다.</center><br />

いつでも側にいること 普通に感じてたけど<br />
もっと大事にしよう<br />
夢見て笑っていよう 失いたくない<br />
<br />
友達だよ La la la la...Forever!<br />
<br />
<br />
同じ経験してきたから<br />
同じくらい大人に近づく<br />
それはずっと続くはずさ...<br />
確かめたいのに どうなんだろうわからないんだよ<br />
<br />
変わらないと 信じていても<br />
少しだけ寂しい気持ちがしのび込んだ<br />
横顔見つめていたら<br />
<br />
いつでも側にいること 普通に感じてたけど (La la la la)<br />
もしかしたら明日は違う道の一歩<br />
いつでも側にいること 普通に感じてたんだ (いつでも)<br />
もっと大事にしよう<br />
失いたくない この手を離さないで<br />
<br />
友達だよ La la la la...Forever!<br />
<br />
<br />
強いふりをしてみたから<br />
強くなれた共にがんばったね<br />
ひとりじゃないって嬉しい気分<br />
悩みがあっても聞いてくれて 助かってたんだよ<br />
<br />
変わらないで 願う想い<br />
僕だけのわがままなのかな?<br />
だけどずっと一緒がいいんだずっと...<br />
<br />
夢見て笑って泣いて 過ごした日々よ輝け (La la la la)<br />
どんな宝石よりもまぶしい宝物さ<br />
夢見て笑って泣いて 過ごした日々の愛しさ (夢見て)<br />
もっと重ねてみたい<br />
次はなにを目指そう? 決めてないけど<br />
<br />
友達だよ La la la la...Forever!<br />
今だけだと言わないでよ永遠だよ<br />
今だけだと言わないでよ Wow wow<br />
<br />
<br />
夢を見ていたい共に<br />
夢を見ていたいね 笑って泣いて...Ah!<br />
<br />
いつでも側にいること 普通に感じてたけど (La la la la)<br />
もしかしたら明日は違う道の一歩<br />
いつでも側にいること 普通に感じてたんだ (いつでも)<br />
もっと大事にしよう<br />
失いたくない この手を離さないで<br />
<br />
今だけだと言わないでよ永遠だよ<br />
今だけだと言わないでよ Wow wow<br />
友達だよ La la la la...Forever!<br />

|-|English = <poem><center><br />
The way you’re always here by my side is something I’ve thought of as a regular thing,<br />
But I’ll cherish it more.<br />
Let’s dream and laugh – I don’t want to lose that.<br />
<br />
We’re friends. La la la la… Forever!<br />
<br />
<br />
As we share the same experiences,<br />
We take the same steps toward adulthood.<br />
Things will keep going that way forever, I expect…<br />
I want to find out for sure, but I don’t really know how.<br />
<br />
Even if I have faith that things won’t change,<br />
Just a little bit of loneliness crept in<br />
When I was watching the profile of your face.<br />
<br />
The way you’re always here by my side is something I’ve thought of as a regular thing, (La la la la)<br />
But tomorrow just might hold one step down a different road.<br />
The way you’re always here by my side is something I’ve thought of as a regular thing, (Always…)<br />
But I’ll cherish it more.<br />
I don’t want to lose you – don’t let go of my hand.<br />
<br />
We’re friends. La la la la… Forever!<br />
<br />
<br />
I tried to pretend I was strong,<br />
So I actually became strong – we’ve tried so hard together.<br />
Not being alone is a happy feeling.<br />
You’ve listened to me in times of worry – you’ve saved me.<br />
<br />
Inside, I wish that things won’t change.<br />
Is that just me being selfish?<br />
But it would really be great if we could stay together, on and on…<br />
<br />
Dreaming, laughing, crying – let those days we spent together shine bright. (La la la la)<br />
They’re a treasure more radiant than any precious stones.<br />
Dreaming, laughing, crying – those days we spent together are so dear to me. (Dreaming…)<br />
I’d like to add on even more,<br />
Though we haven’t decided what we should aim for next.<br />
<br />
We’re friends. La la la la… Forever!<br />
Don’t say that it’s just for now – this is eternal.<br />
Don’t say that it’s just for now – wow, wow…<br />
<br />
I want to see the dream, together with you.<br />
I want to see the dream, to laugh and cry… Ah!<br />
<br />
The way you’re always here by my side is something I’ve thought of as a regular thing, (La la la la)<br />
But tomorrow just might hold one step down a different road.<br />
The way you’re always here by my side is something I’ve thought of as a regular thing, (Always…)<br />
But I’ll cherish it more.<br />
I don’t want to lose you – don’t let go of my hand.<br />
<br />
Don’t say that it’s just for now – this is eternal.<br />
Don’t say that it’s just for now – wow, wow…<br />
We’re friends. La la la la… Forever!<br />
