Where do you want to go？
We'll take you to the dream.
Welcome to fairy tale.
Please show us your best smile.

Verse 1

Come closer, we'll read a story just for you
Wrapped in a curtain of dappled sunlight,
You close your angelic eyes that shimmer with curiosity
And your breath slows as you slip into slumber

Ritsu/Arashi/Izumi/Leo: (Chivalric)
What sort of fantasy
Ritsu/Arashi/Izumi/Leo: (Romance)
Do you dream of?

Tell us

The gallant knights journey to save the captive princess
Braving the darkest magic and fire-breathing dragons
Arashi/Tsukasa: They stand strong
Izumi/Leo: In spite of their wounds
They will arrive without fail
To pledge their love
We'll escort you to the world of fairy tales

Verse 2

The nasty witches
Might cast their curses
Izumi/Arashi: But we'll turn them into fortune
You can write this story's ending
In any way you want

Tsukasa/Arashi/Izumi/Leo: (Chivalric)
When you open your eyes once more
Tsukasa/Arashi/Izumi/Leo: (Romance)
All you wish for
Will come true

The gallant knights are ever watching over you
If you are lost in a labyrinth of a moonless night,
Arashi/Leo: And wander far astray
Izumi/Ritsu: We'll set the stars alight
And show you the way
We'll make you smile where the sunlight touches
La La Sing for you

Bridge

A pleasant little
Tale of adventure
Unfurl its pages
And another
Sparkle appears in your eyes
Like a precious gem

Storytelling
For your sake, we can be those gallant knights
(We're your knights. Ah Ah)
With the blade of hope, we'll cut a path to the future
(For you)
Ritsu/Leo: Making promises
Arashi/Izumi/Tsukasa: Swearing oaths
All: We'll always keep our word
(Happy end, Ah...)
Happily ever after
All: We'll escort you to the other side of the dream

(Leo: Sing a song for you)
Where do you want to go?
(Izumi: We want to know)
We'll take you to the dream.
(Tsukasa: Your dream)
Welcome to fairy tale.
(Arashi: Fairy tale)
Ritsu: Please show us your best smile.

T/N: The lyricist Youhei Matsui stated on his Twitter account that Little Romance's storyline was "created with the image of being a prequel to Silent Oath". It's quite possible that the line in the second chorus "We'll make you smile where the sunlight touches" is a direct reference to Silent Oath.
