[Lyrics + Translation] Ao Haru Ride: CHiCO with HoneyWorks: Sekai wa Koi ni Ochiteiru
I absolutely adore Aoharaido. <3 I've been following the manga series since it started (Sakisaka Io is one of my favorite shoujo mangakas), so I couldn't be happier that it now has an anime adaptation. What's even more exciting is that soon, there would even be a live-action movie! *dances around* I adore KouTaba--these two have already had me laughing/tearing up/giggling like a high school girl/reminiscing about my own youth (not that I'm old now, btw, haha) while reading the manga, so I'm really excited about the anime and the movie as well.
Plus, the opening song is pretty. <3 I really loved the melody and loved the lyrics even more. Missed chances, realizing love after it happens, all the works--well, you could say that a lot of people (including me) could actually relate. So here are the lyrics and the English translation for Sekai wa Koi ni Ochiteiru!

It makes me sad to see people posting my work on their own page and claiming them as theirs--believe me, I know which ones are mine. I am therefore sincerely asking you, dear visitor, to follow my requests above.

I'm still in the process of studying the language, so I translate songs with only my current capabilities, which means that there are times that I make grammar mistakes and such, too. I also translate songs according to how I understood the lines, so I couldn't assure you a perfect, accurate interpretation. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT if you have a question or a correction to make. I'd really appreciate your inputs, especially if there are any corrections, since those would be most helpful so I can learn as well. Thank you!

Translator's Note:
Apparently, there are two perspectives of two different girls in this song, as illustrated in the song's MV. Let's call them Girl 1 and Girl 2, and, yes, they are both in love with the same guy. :D To be clear, I have color-coded the lyrics according to each girl's perspectives; the lyrics without color-coding pertain to both girls. To understand more, you can download the MV using the link provided by my first anonymous commenter in this entry.
Plus, the opening song is pretty. <3 I really loved the melody and loved the lyrics even more.
